February Stationary Haul!

​February Stationary Supplies: a mini haul!
 
I don’t know about you but I’ve really gotten into stationary and feel a bit nerdy looking for new supplies! This is what I’ve treated myself to in February’s mini haul. Do you have a favourite? 

​First up is a pack of new pens. These were really cheap (although I did want to get some of the awesome Frixion pens, but they were too much considering what else I wanted to buy this month, so I left them – one day though!). The pens I did get are ballpoint ones and came in different colours: black, blue, green, purple, pink. 

​Next up is some of these sticky tab things because I used nearly all of mine when I was looking for quotes and passages in HUNTED to use in promotional material. With the different colours, it means I can signpost different aspects of a book when looking for quotes. Typical I look for short one liners, paragraphs and then longer passages for posts, blogs and advertisement (although don’t talk to me about advertisement – I don’t get it…)

​I’m sure anyone who hates mistakes will resonate with this one! Correction tape! Just got this pack inexpensively to see if I’d use it and I can confirm that I already have! It’s mostly for in my weekly planner where crossing something out leaves me with less space. Took me a second to figure out how to use it – not because it’s complicated but because I’m just a special kind of person. And I could still write and highlight over it so win! 

​The next two things are washi tapes which I’ve become slightly obsessed with thanks to another author, Sarra Cannon, always using it. I feel once you use it, you don’t go back! I like using it to spruce up my planners. It makes me happy to see a bit of colour and decoration; I’m not sure if it makes me more likely to do something/follow my plan? Anyone else in the washi tape love camp?
 
I bought another lot of 10mm width tape which is perfect for the bottom of my planning pages. I’d originally bought a small selection so this one was much bigger. . . just look at them! I also purchased thinner tape at 3mm. I was aiming for 5mm but these work and gosh, look at how many different designs I have now! I have plenty of tape to last buuuut let’s see how long I can go without buying anymore! 

Firmly in the more boring side of things, I needed some printer paper and got two varieties: a thinner 80gsm for normal printing and then 100gsm. The 100gsm is for things that I want to write more on (it helps with printing and working on the paper if I’m using both sides as ink doesn’t show through).
 
Finally, I wanted a microphone that connected to my phone for recording videos. It wasn’t an expensive one (but the most expensive item out of the items above) so I can see if it does make a difference. I’ve not noticed it during a quick look, but I’ll have to compare when I have a video edited and uploaded!
 
So that’s February’s stationary roundup! What stationary is your favourite to use?
