One Sketch a Day . . .

A yearlong record of sketches - because every daily drawing is worthy of remembrance.

Whilst browsing through blogs last week I came across a post about a journal called 'One Line a Day' where you write one line a day for 5 years! I loved this idea and decided to search Amazon to buy one for myself. Instead I ended up buying 'One Sketch a Day', a visual journal where you do exactly what its called, draw a sketch a day for one year. I liked this idea even more as recently I've been wanting to get back into drawing again and as my mum said in regards to the 'One Line a Day' do you really want to be reminded of your thoughts 5 years ago?

The hard back journal is navy blue with the pages edged in orange along with the font on the cover. After the year is up I could maybe think about combining all the sketches somehow...


I took a trip to my nearest Primark (which is quite small with not much choice) and found this gorgeous scarf for £4! I really like the colours and it looks a lot more expensive than its price! I'm very much a scarf person so this is a lovely addition to my collection. I also bought a dress (£10 down from £17) which looks much better on than it does on the hanger. I may put it in an outfit post sometime soon . . .

Other purchases were some No7 nail varnish in Milan (a silver and pink glitter) and some Candied Ginger Body Butter from The Body Shop for £3 down from £12!! It was part of their Christmas range which is now in the sale! Sadly I couldn't find any Candied Ginger shower gel. . . I was planning on buying more as both me and my mum love it and have almost used it up!

I was also given a tester for the new Chocomania Body Butter which is released next week! I have yet to try it but with my love for chocolate and body butter I know I'll love this exciting combination!
