Things

Now, working full time in a job and industry that I love I am still working on finding a balance between work and my other creative loves;blogging, self-publishing, crafting as well as making time for rest, play and fun adventures with friends and family. Here are a some snaps of a few 'things' from the past couple of weeks.
Smiles, Jenna xo

Some snaps of my desk, where I like to get creative with,mt, shape punches, stamps, polka dot stationery and zakka and being inspired by Japanese books.
Most weekends are spent packaging up zines. I just love my new polka dot stamp!
Hello Kitty Jelly Belly's from New York! Thanks Sis!

Looking forward to experimenting with mt wrap, thrilled to find this mt wrap broshure in Kinokuniya!Cute craft pictures on a stripey background :)
Peko choc lollypops make me smile and feed my chocolate addiction. Once eaten you have a cute set of swivel sticks!
All that glitters nail art
In love with spanish magazine Kireei. Language is not a barrier for me when it comes to magazines and books. The visuals and discovering wonderful new talent is enough. This is a beautifully designed magazine filled with inspiring creatives.

  12. I love how you surround yourself with creative and colourful objects that make you happy. I started doing that recently since I finally have my own place. I like that magazine Kireei that you featured (luckily I'm bilingual so Spanish magazines are open for me to read). I know Japanese magazines and books have some of the best art, designs,ideas, and the instructions are always brilliantly illustrated but I usually bypass them as I find not being able to read it frustrating. :p
