The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

Hello!  For Stationery Sunday I want to share what my Journal for 2020 looks like.  My journal is a place for writing about my thoughts and feelings..it is essentially my Diary.  :) I don't write in it everyday, but on days when I need to vent or just document something important. I also sometimes junk journal in it, sticking things like receipts and tags of important purchases. It's like a collage of my days.  I do a monthly set up and set monthly goals and at the end of the month I make a list of things I loved in the particular month.  So this is where my brain goes to feel better.  :)  I am using a traveller's notebook from The Black Canvas in this gorgeous blue leather to house my journal inserts.  I love the colour and how gloriously soft and supple this leather is.  I added this bow charm from Lyra and Co made with my favourite Rifle Paper Co. fabric, I think it goes perfectly well with my dori.  ...

Hello!  I recently, well a couple of weeks ago, finally set up my Book Journal for 2020. I've been using the same notebook, from Rifle Paper Co since 2018 and now it will house 3 years worth of book reviews and musings and thoughts and lists of books to get and books I didn't finish. In short, the very essence of my bookish life lives in this notebook. I've had a Book Journal since 2012. Before that I used whichever planner I was using as a means of keeping tab on my reading but let me tell you, having a specific place for all my book related things to be in has been a a life changer. Not to mention it's took to have a place to go look back at my year's reading.  So let's see how I went about setting my Book Journal for 2020.  I set this journal using the limited amount of supplies I had carried with me on my holiday. But I still think it's turned out pretty good!  The front page for this year.  A girl with flowers and all...

Hello!  From my unexpectedly cold city to yours.  I was so sad about leaving the hometown and coming back to Bombay, for multiple reasons, but the chief one being I was coming back to a hot city from my winter wonderland. So imagine my surprise and gratitude to find that Bombay is wonderfully cold and doing winter rather well.  Yay! So the weather we are currently experiencing in most certainly one of my absolute favourites.  Here are some other things I've been loving recently.  1. Book Journal 2020: I set up my 2020 book journal last week when  I was still in the hometown. I used the same Rifle Paper Co. notebook I've been using since 2018 and used the supplies I had with me during holiday. This is the front page and I intend on sharing a full flip through to show you more of my book journal. (Keep an eye out for that.)  I love how this page turned out.  I used a postcard from Hastnirmit.  & Stickers from...

Hello!  As someone who has a lot of stationery bits and bobs, I was on the lookout to a pencil case big enough to hold my many stationery bits and my pens and markers too.  I got this gorgeous little organiser from Ali Express , for fairly cheap and I am so happy with it. It's so well made and it's just the right size to hold everything I need and then some. I could still fit in a ton of stuff in this. Plus it's not yet bulky or cumbersome to tote around.  I picked this one in pink with a cat on it because Pink is everything!  :)  Let's see how I've set it up!  Hello Kitty!  This is what it looks like when it's empty, as you can see it's got plenty of room to fit all sorts of things and little compartments to keep things organised and from moving around too much.  A look inside.  Pens Galore--- All of my colourful Zebra Sarasa Pens, I love the pens, they are smooth and come in so many colours....

Hello!  Hope your Sunday has been a good one.  A Happy Father's Day to all the good Dads out in the world who love and support their kids.  For today's Stationery Sunday I am finally getting around to share my set-up for my April Bujo. I used a different sized traveller's notebook for April, an A7 and truth be told it was a little bit of a hit and miss. I think after months and months of using either A6 or Field Notes sizes I was a little uncomfortable using such a small size and had a hard time writing comfortably in it. I was so bummed out because I really, really like this fauxdori, it's so freaking cute and convenient to carry all of bits and bobs!  I will give it a try at a later date but for now I am very happy using my Field Notes sized traveller's notebooks.  Let's see what I used in April for my monthly planning!  Isn't she a beauty?!  All pink and floral gorgeousness.  Front page decor.  I als...

Hello!  How is your Sunday shaping up?  Today I want to share my March Bujo Set-Up. I used the same Traveller's Notebook as I did in February and I used yet another Kikkik notebook as an insert.  Confetti on the cover.  The front page decor.  Some pages.  Full of stickers and cute bits.  These are some of the things I keep in the pockets of the traveller's notebook to use for my planning.  Sticky Notes and Page Flags and such that come incredibly handy.  Just some of my stationery essentials.  BUJO DETAILS///  Traveller's Notebook-  Notebook- Kikkik  Highlighters- Wish  Diecuts, Sticky Notes and Page Flags- The Planner Society  Pens- Wish and Uniball
