Happy happy Wednesday! It's a lovely cloudy cold morning and time for coffee. Oh, and a visit to:
Look at my monkey! His name is Chimps and he's one of those Ty Peek-a-boo phone holders. He also cleans your screen. I love him. He holds my phone on my desk perfectly. And I love this time of year because everybody sells stuff with hearts on it!
So, piled on my desk is a new wristlet/cross-body bag from Charming Charlies I got with a bonus card from there, I love those. It has tons of pockets. This was last night and I was in the middle of cutting off the tags and drinking some green tea. Also laying there is a new list pad/posty book from the Bargain bin at Barnes & Noble.
Here's what the list pad book looks like on the inside.
I'm already using these in my planner. AND...I had just got some MAMBI pocket pages in the mail I'm going to use for scrapbooking and other things. They are super cute. It was an Amazon add-on item for a little over two bucks!
So this is how I get through winter. I love hearts and Valentines and I make my desk a happy place. Although I have to say my heart is still recovering from a shocking moment I was warned about on Downton Abbey. Oh my Lord. What a moment. Enjoy your day!

Oh a new list book, I love them but they never seem to be big enough, I never seem to get everything done on mine so that's probably a good thing. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteI no longer have a planner book - I forget to put stuff in there so it all goes on my phone these days. Talking of which I like your chimp and I'm going to get one for my daughter coz I know she would LOVE it so thanks for the idea x Jackie 22
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, I do like that list book! What a great idea, to have post its in it as well. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #20 xx
ReplyDeleteSo you've seen the shocking seen on Downton! I thought it was well done because it was totally unexpected. You knew something was up but nobody expected that! Love the monkey with the purple, glittery eyes and all the goodies on your desk. You're right, in the winter we should surround ourselves with happy things! Thanks for visiting earlier! zsuzsa #32
ReplyDeleteLove your note pad ( Bit of an addict myself) Enjoy all the hearts while you can and have a fab week. Soojay xx
ReplyDeleteFab bag - I love ones with lots of pockets - though I do tend to forget which pocket I have put things in. Cheeky monkey is fab too! x Jo
ReplyDeleteYour cheeky monkey has made my day! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love those list pads. I'm a list person and if I saw that, I would buy it immediately!
Your bag (sorry: purse) looks great. I had one a few years back with lots of pockets and i kept forgetting where stuff was, then having to look in every compartment! lol.
Thanks for the visit,
Happy WOYWWednesday,
Lisca
Mr. Chimps is quite cute. I agree I love how everything has hearts and happiness on it this time of year. Thanks for the visit earlier. Good luck getting those Valentine's cards made (and in the mail!) PJ #50
ReplyDeleteThat was a GOOOOOOOD episode, wasn't it? I was going to comment on all your fun desk stuff, but you distracted me with Downton . . .
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW to you, Sandy Leigh!!!

I'm a season behind on Downton Abbey! I have to make sure I don't see anything I'm not supposed to! I love your Monkey, so cute, and you are right about keeping your desk a happy place! Thank for visiting and your advice about the Frugal Stamper. I did come across her on YouTube and she is very helpful! Lindart #46
ReplyDeleteSomehow I got bumped from #46 to #54! I don't know how THAT happened! Lindart #54
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a list book before that looks so fun, and I was really surprised to see your new bag on your desk ( because, If I were that brave for sure it would get something on it hahaha) :) Thanks for the earlier visit, ~Stacy #54
ReplyDeleteI love that monkey! So cute. I don't think I've seen them before. A phone holder. Can tell I don't get out much! I have a list pad similar to that. I use it A LOT and I'm not usually much of a planner, but I keep it handy and it's easy to write stuff down on.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

Cute monkey - fun & useful ! Your bag looks really useful - although I might forget which pocket everything was in ! Thanks for visiting Ali
ReplyDeleteLots of useful things on your desk this week! I love the chimp phone holder, he made me laugh. And those list pad whatsits are fab, I can Julia lusting after those. She's a devil for a list, you know :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's been odd weather here, very windy and alternating mild/cold days. My greenhouse is full of logs as we've had to empty our wood store in order to shift it. So there's no room to start seeds or anything like that....roll on Spring, say I!!
Hugs, LLJ 17 xxx
Happy WOYWW. Cute and useful monkey, loving the bag and other fab shopping too. I adore making lists - and ticking stuff off when I do it. Downton Abbey. I came to it very late. Started watching on Amazon Prime just before Xmas and have got upto episode 4 of the first season. Must get back to it soon, as I can see why everyone loves it. Ali x #64
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy happy WOYWW to you, thanks for swinging by. Your comment made me smile...most people want to stow away in my globetrotting luggage! I love the view of your desk and all the fun shopping you have been doing. I never thought of rummaging through Barnes and Noble..might do that there is a big one near me. Cx #53
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you about my new book ? It's called "My book of Things I might do something with, or I might not"
ReplyDeleteIt's got loads of bits of fabric and paper in that I can't bring myself to throw out.
Have a great week

Gotta love a list pad, I bet you're loving that! Jan laughs at me for lists and things, my obsession is nowhere near yours; a journal, Mindoro and new books on a whim! Fab!! I LOVE that Starbucks have got heart cups. I wonder if they do here, I must make an effort to find one!
ReplyDeletejust fell in love with that pad book :-) Vicky#9
