The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

Hello!!!  My 2017 Christmas Tree is up!!!!!  &  She is a beauty!  The day my tree goes up is always a happy day. It makes all of us at home so happy. Seeing the lights, baubles and all of my plushie ornaments puts a smile on all our faces.  Mr. Raccoon looking spiffy as always.  Isn't he the cutest!?  He and most of our plushie ornaments are from Accessorize from 5 years ago.  Some desi ornaments adorn our tree as well, this horse was our new ornament last year, he is from Fabindia.  We normally put a Santa on top of our Christmas tree but this year we've gone with a Star, a handmade Tassel and a Snowflake to be our tree toppers.  I am so in love with our Santa lights that we got from Itsy-Bitsy last year.  We normally put the red, blue and green lights on our tree but this year we wanted to do something a little bit different, so the Santa lights. I want to get some new fa...

Hello!  Hope this Saturday is treating you well.  My Saturday is off to a good start.  A night of sleeping well and a morning full of rain and drizzle.  :)  Today I want to share a little haul of stamp inks I recently acquired.  I already have quite a few stamp inks in various forms, like distress inks and regular ones like pigments.  I did a haul of Tim Holtz Distress Ink on the blog in December.  My sister and I love stamping. It is such an easy way to add some art and colour to your planner/journal pages.  I will soon do a stamps and inks post on the blog.  For now on to the new inks we have.  Even though we have a lot of coloured inks, we were running low on a basic black ink. The one we had was quite old and was nearly dry.  We got 2 of these Pigment Stamp Pads and they are so incredibly pigmented. The olive is such a pretty colour and the black is a wonderful deep and dark black....

Hello!  Let's start the week off with some colour and brightness.  Stamping Inks!  I recently got these Distress Inks from Itsy Bitsy    a store full of delightful stationery and crafting bits. I bought them from the physical store at Phoenix Mills Kurla but you can of course look at their online shop to find something you'd like.  I often find unexpected delights whilst browsing the shop.  Stamps. Ink. Colouring Books for Adults.  Stickers. Beads. And so much more.  For this haul I am going to share the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Stamp Pads.  The colours are absolutely stunning and they work on most kinds of paper and don't stain the next page.  Really lovely!  I also love the names of all of these stamps.  Worn Lipstick. :)  Spiced Marmalade. :)  Oh stationery you are such a joyful thing :)  So much pretty.  ⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹⇹...
