POCKET MONEY PICKS 28/AUG

Why not spend your pocket money on a back to school treat even if you're not hitting the books this September! I have my eye on the Susy Jack* pegs for organising my desk...

1. Three Potato Four: 'Exercise' Set of three writing journals - $8

This set of 3 journals come in beautifully faded colours which give them a lovely vintage feel. The square paper inside makes them perfect for keeping track of expenses and shopping lists. If you're self employed and need to keep a record of your millage like me these would be great too. Just keep one in your glove box!

2. Susy Jack*: Day of the week clip set - $8.50

I see these stung up on a mini line above my desk so i can clips things on that need to be dealt with each day. Much nicer than wading through my in-tray every morning! Clip notes-to-self, bills to pay, invoices to chase, to do lists, permission slips for school....the list goes on and on.....

3. Wild Olive: Digital Journaling Collage Sheet - Homework Helpers -$3

I'll admit, I don't know much about digital journaling and scrap booking but Mollie's characters are always so darn cute I just had to share these. If you have one of those reward/progress charts for your children at home these would be perfect if printed small enough to fit your chart. They would also be great for sealing lunch sacs and decorating note books if printed on sticker paper, don't you think?

 

If you were going to spend $10 on a little treat for yourself this week what would you buy?

BACK TO SCHOOL: PRINTABLE BOOK COVERING AND LABELS

Yasmine over at A Print A Day was sharing a little Doll download this week that I thought could be adapted for covering all your new school books.

The repeat patterns are perfect for covering note books, exercise books, text books and homework diary's. You could also print the dolls in various sizes on sticker paper, cut out and accessorise your covers too!

Why don't you pop on over and visit Yasmine's blog A Print A Day and see what you can come up with her download?

If you can't print a sheet big enough to cover your larger books print a few sheets and piece together like a collage on a clear sheet of sticky back plastic...simple!

All you need now is a cute label to complete your exercise books. I have created coordinating labels for all the important info you need on the front which you can download by clicking here...

Psst...if you visit A Print A Day on Face Book you might just find some more mini kits for download ;)

FUN BACK TO SCHOOL PRINTABLES

s the new school year is starting I thought it might be nice to share a few printables that the kids will enjoy. Even if you don't have any little people at home I have a feeling you're going to like this round up ;)

First up, from Jinjerup we have some chick bookmarks in the most beautiful choice of colours. If you hunt around Jinjerups blog you will find some fun fruit characters that have been turned into bookmarks too...

 

I'm sure your little dudes will think these super cool stickers from The Bruhn Family are out of this world. Wouldn't they be great for decorating note books and lunch bags? If Space isn't your thing you will find some really, really cute animals that Lotta Bruhn has available to download too.
Label new books with these book plates from Martha Stewart and print some for yourself while your at it!

TWITTER...WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

On Twitter I often share blog news, links and re-tweet interesting comments made by those I follow. Unfortunately as Twitter is so fast paced probably only a handful of people see these tweets pop up on their page so I thought I would share a few select tweets here every Monday!

Check back here later today or subscribe to see the first post in my Tweet...Tweet... feature ;)

Not sure what Twitter is all about? Then read on and get the scoop!

When I first joined Twitter I'll admit I didn't really get what the fuss was about but I was determined to give it a try. I didn't think I had anything particularly interesting to say nor did I have a desire to know that random 'followers' were "eating breakfast!" or other trivial details of their day.

 

The more I persevered and followed others the more I began to understand that there was more to twitter than it seemed. I have since found that Twitter is a really powerful, fast paced tool that is excellent for sharing of information and staying connected with those around you.

 

For those that don't know, Twitter is basically a way of communicating with friends by exchanging short updates called Tweets which are limited to 140 characters or less. These messages are posted to your Twitter page, sent to your friends who are called 'Followers' and are searchable on Twitter search. To find out more about Twitter click here...

 

If you would like to Follow me and receive my updates on Twitter click here...

 

As I said before I'm not particularly interested if you are "eating lunch!" so I try not to inflict those kind of Tweets on my followers either. But what can you use twitter for?

 

I like that through Twitter you easily build a community of like minded people who are all swapping tit-bits of information. If I'm surfing the web and come across something I like or think others would be interested in I post a link telling my followers all about it on Twitter. I have found so many great blog posts and new websites that I have been introduced to through updates posted by those I follow.

 

I also often use twitter to announcing new blog posts or ask questions relating to a piece I'm thinking of writing to find out what peoples interest and opinions are on the topic. I like that I can also get a better understanding of those that are reading my blog and what you like by watching what you are tweeting.

 

Another great thing about twitter is there always seems to be someone there! Got a question and need an answer now? Tweet it and you will probably get an answer almost instantly from those Following you. Achieved something and want to shout it from the roof top? Someone will give you a virtual pat on the back. Struggling to find something or need inspiration? You could find just what you need by Tweeting the problem to your Followers.

 

Most of all Twitter is fun. You cant get too bogged down with floods of info when people can only send you short bursts that take seconds to read. Its then your choice if something catches your eye to follow the link.

So, what do you think of Twitter? I would love to know what you use Twitter for so please let me know my leaving a note in the comments section below.

POCKET MONEY PICKS 21/AUG

As I said earlier this week, I'm taking part in the Lovely Package Exchange so I've got packaging on the brain this week! Check out these three new Pocket Money Picks that will make any gift look really special ;)

1. Valedesign: Printable Gable Box - $5

Graphic designer Erin Vale from the Leo on the loose blog has just launched a paper goods store on Etsy with beautiful packaging designs you can print at home! This Gable box is my fav ;)

2. PaperLeaf:4 Gift Tags - $2.50

I love the simple yet bold print on these tags and the fact they are screen printed by hand on recycled manila card makes me want them even more.

3. Yaelfran: 3 Mini Pillow Boxes - $10

I seriously heart Yealfran's store! She has some really cool things on Etsy but the boxes are just perfect for my packaging obsession right now.

 

Have a nice weekend everyone! Feel free to leave me a comment and tell me what your up to!
