What’s that I hear you day? Bringing out that picture for a third year in a row are you? Yes, yes I am. Because I’m too busy/not at home much at the moment so haven’t had a chance to do a new one 🙁 Plus, I still kind of like it though. ANYWAY, the point of this post is to acknowledge National Stationery Week 2017! I hope you’re all filling your week with pens, pencils and paper galore (although if you’re reading this blog, that’s just a normal week, right?!)
Although I’ve been unable to get my own act together to put up some #NatStatWeek content, I noticed today so so many people are posting brilliant things! So I thought I’d do a bit of a round up of great blog posts, videos and competitions I’ve seen going on this week, and I’ll add things in as the week goes on… Let me know if you see anything I’ve missed!
