A little bit of creativity


So I got a little bit creative at the weekend! Nothing too mad but in an attempt to kick start the crafty mojo this was nice and easy.  One step closer to getting the sewing machine back out again!!

I recently purchased a set of Martha Stewart chalkboard labels at Staples and was then waiting eagerly for a nice, white and crisp chalk pen to arrive that I bought off e Bay. I decided to try out a chalk pen rather than the old fashioned normal chalk as I'm left handed and whenever I've used chalk in the past I just smudge it too easily. The pen is great! It dries very quickly, does not smudge and is easily removed with a damp cloth. Would definitely recommend!
Not great photos I know but at the moment I seem to be living through Instagram!!!

About to get creative! Martha Stewart labels and new chalk pen!!

Voila! Might try some fancy writing next time!!

The best thing about these labels? They are re positionable and reusable so if you (OK me!) don't get it right the first time just try again!

Martha Stewart @ Staples!!

So I finally managed to make a trip to Staples to have a look at the new range of Martha Stewart Home Office goodies and boy was I in for a treat! Loving the range and the assortment of labels, notebooks and files and gorgeous colours.
Now I could open my own stationary store with all the note books, pens, files etc I have stashed away but I can never resist buying more!! However tempted I was I did however resist and only came away with a couple of items!!
