Beautiful Happy Mail (#Paperhaul Month 3)

It's kind of hard to beat last months #Paperhaul for me but they've done a good job in trying! Yet again there's nothing in this months box I'd pass on or leave sitting around (hey, it happens with a lot of stationery!) This month, it's all about stripes!!

First of all some more washi tape to add to my collection. Not the pretty variety I'll grant you that but I like it anyway.

Four very wicked postcards. I used to wear really long socks so love this particular postcard. I have a number of mug themed postcards so this adds to the collection and the zebra is just such a cool and unique card to have in my suitcase.

Several cards I love. The Elephant has my Mum written all over it because she adores elephants. I think I'll save it for her birthday.

Cute Raccoon gift tags

Two scrap papers. I think I love the Badgers and the hearts the best.

Of course no stationery box is complete without stickers:

Each box from #Paperhaul costs you £10 with free p&p and each box purchased means Postpals gets a 10% donation which is fab. I get a slight reduction in price as a #Paperhaul blogger. Do you receive a #Paperhaul box every month? Id love to know what you think!

Paperhaul January!

First things first, this month I have no idea what the theme is so im going to go with random. To me it's a totally random box of papery goodness and I adore it! There seems to be more this month which pleases me and I know it'll please other subscribers who felt the first box could've been full of a few more goodies.

First of all I will show you this lovely polka dot washi tape. I love the colour and can't wait to tape my happy mail envelopes up with it. I know lots of my pen pals will love it and it's very me!

Some more great postcards this month (more than last month!)

New scrap papers which are perfect for the new scrap book I purchased recently. My favourite sides are the ones in my first photo!

Some more cards ideal for popping into the post for those occasions but even better for those 'thinking of you' kind of moments that make people smile when they grab the post from the doormat.

Printed tags that are great for present labels, popping into cards with little messages on, sending as gifts with your happy mail or even using for scrap booking. These aren't my favourite items in the box but I know they'll be used.

You can't have a stationery box without stickers!

I'm looking forward to Februarys Paperhaul box even more now! I really do think these boxes will get better and better. If I missed a really obvious theme please let me know! As with the last review, I must point out I do pay for these boxes myself but I do get a reduction in the price as a Paperhaul Blogger. Let me know what you think of this months box in the comments below (or tweet me!)

Calling All Penguins!!

"Follow me brother"

Okay, okay, more like my fellow readers and followers who have a little cuddly penguin perched on a wardrobe, laying at the bottom of an overflowing toy box or sat in that charity bag in the cupboard.
If they're in good condition but lacking a bit of love, why not send them off to become famous little penguins featuring in a vlog by the lovely Kay who blogs at BrinkofBedlam before being packaged up and sent off to some truly wonderful boys and girls through the charity PostPals?

To find out more about PostPals please click the image below. It really is a lovely charity allowing people to bring smiles to some very poorly children and young people.

Now, I don't own any penguins (shameful really as I do quite like them) so I'll be going on my own little penguin mission to find some little fellas who need re homing for a bit of love and cuddles (and, of course, to be made famous- lets not forget that)

If you fancy joining the 'Penguin Amnesty' then please, please do! And it's not limited to just cuddly toys either, oh no, many companies have already come up trumps donating penguin themed products.

Why not join The Penguin Amnesty and bring a smile to a child's face?
Check out the Penguin Gallery so far, something wonderful is happening right now. Be apart of it, I promise it's worth it!

* Please reframe from sending real penguins, apparently there isn't enough bath space and penguins are too noisy for a family home. Although that would be a good vlog i'm sure!
