Stationery Treats

I have rekindled my love for stationary in the past few Years, the 8 Year old inside me is still happy scribbling away with smelly gel pens! 

If you didn't already now, I have been blogging recently about National Stationery Week, which was from the 27th April to the 3rd of May. Many schools took part in this by encouraging and promoting writing by hand. I have been trying my best to write and read as much as I can recently; as I spend a lot of time on computers and gaming consoles, sometimes I forget how important, fun and therapeutic it is to write. 

I have been working with the team at NSW and they kindly sent me a few stationary treats from some top stationary brands to play around with. I am in love with the planner, it is so useful!

Get Britain Writing! #NSW

I have been sharing some posts in the past few Weeks talking about my thoughts on the importance of writing and my love of stationary. This is in celebration of National Stationary Week; a Week which encourages and promotes us to get writing by hand and all things stationary related. It is so important to continue writing by hand; something I am sure a lot of us are guilty of neglecting as the internet and computers are now a huge influence on our lives.

Today I am thinking of ways we can get Britain Writing - have you any suggestions?
Here are a few ideas I have come up with:

• Writing letters to distant relatives and old friends
• Sending postcards
• Writing a sentence every day on what has made you happy on a small piece of paper and store it in a jar 
• Writing a list of things you want to achieve this Year
• When you wake up, write about your dreams and look into what they mean

Can you think of anymore? Be sure to let me know and I will add your ideas to the list!

As it is nearing National Stationary Week, I thought I would share with you a pretty nifty piece of stationary. This is the Kokoyu Stapeless Staper! Instead of clipping your paper together with staples which are difficult to remove, this cool piece of stationary creates a special fold in the paper ensuring it is all kept together, with just one punch! 

Why is writing important to you?

Have you any suggestions on how to get Britain writing?

Why Writing Matters To Me #NSW

I have always really enjoyed writing. I still remember some of my first experiences in writing; from learning to form letters, and then learning to write sentences. It is something I have always really enjoyed to do from being a child - I would spend hours jotting down stories on large notepads, I had such a big imagination back then! 

Handwriting is still something I try to do as often as I can; sure, we all have computer devices now which make life a little easier sometimes, but there is nothing better than being able to sit and jot your thoughts down by hand. Since finishing my education a few Years ago, I have found handwriting to become less and less of a requirement in my life like it was when I was younger. I am trying my best to embrace the pen and paper and continue to take time out from the computers and write by hand!

It is pretty amazing when you think about the ability some of us have of being able to read and write - something we may take for granted in day to day life. I think handwriting is important and it really matters to me that it continues to be present in our lives - writing by hand shows our imagination, our individuality, and our personality. 

27th April sees the beginning of National Stationary Week; a Week which encourages and promotes us to get writing by hand and celebrates all things stationary related.  You can get involved by checking out the website, sending more letters, cards, and get writing!
