I love the 'Love From Me' collection from the Really Good Cards Company. They don't have much online, in fact I don't really see them around much at all. It is for that reason that I have a huge stash of them under my bed that I will not send because I am scared I'll never find them again. (Yes I am that sad.)
But imagine my delight the other day when I went to a shop and saw three (yes three) 'Love from me' notebooks for a ridiculously brilliant price. Obviously I brought them all Yay!

My notebooks were great but I actually wished they were a diary, I had a tonne of dates to transfer from my 2009 diary but I hate having any old diary I like to have a diary I love - it's got to last a year.
So this weekend I go to the shops again it was supposed to be a brief, pit stop kind of shop but after mooching around a few shops I was fed up and ready to give up. My local Paperchase has closed down, I didn't want the same diaries as I'd had before and I begrudge paying over a tenner for a work diary that is only just ok... I had mentioned the moleskin monthly diary in an earlier post but really £30 is out of my budget and I have a few moleskins in my bag so I don't want to be moleskinned out lol.
So I get home and I am looking through my reader and I see this post about pimping out your own notebook to be your diary. I have used cheapo diaries and covered them with pics and stuff before so I thought hey why not use the "Love From Me" books as my diary. So I added some doodles, wrote in some dates and stuck in cute japanese stickers to make my new 2010 diary.
I took it to work Monday and everyone has the standard A4, professional, faux leather ones and I am there with this crazy one hehehe.
