my week aug 12-18

Summer is coming to a close and the Fall 2013 semester is beginning. Hard to believe, but it's true. This was the first full week I used my A5 Kikki.K large time planner.  I have to say, I'm completely in awe of how large the rings are! I had it set up very simply - with the inserts that I had, the thing wasn't even half full.  As for the content, school hadn't started yet and I had a few errands to do here and there, as well as lots of fun things to work on involving this blog. Anyway, I kept it really simple on decorations this week - no stickers to speak of - and stuck more to writing. (By the way, this week may look very familiar if you've already seen this post. I promise it's different. Keep reading!) 

Here's a picture of some very photogenic stationery - the Kikki K large time planner, A7 notebook, and of course, the queen of all yummyness, Martha Stewart x Avery tabs. I used these a lot this week as setting up my planner takes many, many sections. See more on that in a later blog post. 

This week's details:  Blue journal card, Project Life Blush edition core kit, $29.99, twopeasinabucket.com; Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto multi-pen (3 barrels- I used the color "baby pink" 0.4mm above.) Sweet Mode, $2.50 for body, $2.20 for each ink cartridge, jetpens.com; Uni StyleFit multi-pen (5 barrels- I only used the color black 0.5mm above.) Black dot (currently out of stock), $4.75 for body, $1.65 for each ink cartridge, jetpens.com; Kikki.K A7 notepad in Celebrate Today- Stripe, $4.95, kikki-k.com; Bicycle paper clip and pink triangle washi tape pictured in first photo, gifted to me by xoylee; grey thin washi tape, $7.99 for rainbow pack, Michaels stores; Heart & cloud washi tape, currently out of stock, twopeasinabucket.com.

I'm very happy with how my week turned out, aesthetically. It's hard to say if the coming weeks will be so pretty with school starting. Very soon I'll upload a post about my A5 binder setup, but first I have to do a few little tweaks to make it perfect. I'll leave you with these words of encouragement for the week ahead:

Do you find that your weeks are prettier when there's less to do? Or do your pages thrive on productivity?

Thanks for reading, and cheers to a new week!
