Life This Week

Happy Saturdayyy!

This week can be summed up in one word; HEAT. I hate it. Although thank god today is now rainy, which means it should cool down a little - yay!

It's been harder than ever to tuck myself away in my little office and get to work in this stupid, clammy heat. But I've managed to get plenty done still, thankfully. Sticker packs are in full flow, and I've sent off a lot of deliveries this week which is awesome. I'm feeling SUPER creative, which means I'm in that great mood where I want to paint, doodle, make things, and all that jazz. I'm trying to make the most of it while Gary's in work, so I can work away undisturbed. So maybe you'll see some new creations from me in the next week.

My favourite people I've stalked this week include Franzi, Mark, and Lima. They each ooooooze (what a horrible word) creativity in different ways, and I've found that really inspiring!

I was always obsessed with stickers as a kid; whether it was collecting them in a book, putting them all over my bedroom door (I did this with Hunchback of Notre Dame stickers once and my mum was FUMING), putting them on handmade cards or all over my school books. Stickers were my thing yo. In fact, it's fair to say they still are; I have about 3 boxes JUST for stickers, and I'm constantly buying more. They're my fave.

However when I was younger, I always wanted a sticker maker. You know those diddy little, DIY things that were advertised everywhere? I was in love. But for some reason I never got one. Maybe I didn't nag my mum enough, or maybe she remembered the door incident and thought better of it. Either way, even twenty years later I was still keen to make my own stickers.

Which is why I'm exceedingly excited to tell you guys today that I'm finally making my own - woo! And much better than an 8 year old me could have managed, I hope. I've been working away behind the scenes to put together packs of stickers for sale on my Etsy shop, and they're finally here!

If you don't already know it; I'm a sticker obsessive guys. I don't just mean I like decorating the odd notebook here and there. I mean I have a huge box just for stickers. I collect them, I crave them, and I obsess over where I will use them. I'm so precious with them too, especially if they're super special.
So this week, I got the cutest mail ever from the lovely Kayley; an illustrator who has inspired me for a long time now. We got talking on Instagram ages ago, and ever since then I've been obsessed with this girl. She's a bloody delight! Anyway, the point is; I put in an order on her Etsy shop recently, for the cutest darn stickers ever (I just couldn't resist) and she included some other ADORBS things in my mail, so I basically squealed at the postman when it arrived.

Do you love kawaii things as much as me, or cute stationary? Okay, then this post is for you.
I often put in little orders with Blippo, and this was my most recent bundle of kawaii goodness to arrive in the post. I thought I'd share it with you guys as a quick post, as this sort of things excites me and I personally love seeing things like this on my fave kawaii blogs! I got the most adorable bunch of stickers known to man, and a little cupcake notebook.
