Celebrate the Small Things!

Celebrate the Small Things is a weekly bloghop hosted by Viklit over at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author. The idea is to post anything you want to celebrate from the last week.


This week I am celebrating:
- I've managed to fill my first ever writer's notebook (yay!) and have got myself another one, and it's so pretty! I even took some pictures, which I never do (but hopefully I'll start; my posts look boring when I don't use pictures!)
The blue notebook is the one I've just filled, and the one with birds is my brand new one :)
I wanted to include a picture of the pages, because of the pattern at the top; my old one just had blank pages, so it was  a nice surprise when I opened it up. 
 - I signed up for the A to Z challenge; I really enjoyed it last year, so I can't wait for it to begin.
- Some of you may know that I recently handed in a couple of assignments, and that I was really worried about them. I haven't got the marks back yet, but we were told yesterday that everyone has achieved a 60 or over, which is brilliant! I won't fully rest until I can see the mark for myself, but it's lifted a weight from my shoulders.

I hope you've all got plenty to celebrate, too!

  5. I love the notebooks, I'm a notebook addict. What do you write in them? I'm curious because when I buy a pretty notebook I want to use it for so many things that I end up not using it at all.

    And congrats on the assignments!

    1. Thanks! I write all sorts in them, they're not very organised! Ideas for blog posts, stories or poetry I want to write, to do lists, quotes that I come across...everything!

  6. Those are beautiful notebooks! Congrats on getting the first one filled, and starting the next! I love writing in journals, with lists, poems, story starts, diary entries, descriptions, and free-writes . . .it's all fun.

  22. I've nearly finished filling out my writing notebook which I use for blog post ideas, random lists etc but I don't know what to do with it once I've filled it. Are you dumping yours? Or keeping it somewhere?

    1. I'm keeping it, at least for a while, because I have a lot of unused ideas in there!
