My Stationery Must Haves: Schneider Xpress Fineliner

I will be making posts regarding what for me are stationery must haves, any piece of stationery that I think I couldn't do without (which knowing me will be quite a lot of things).

(Disclosure: I have not been asked by companies to review anything, these are my own opinions regarding stationery that I have bought myself and think that I could not do without)

My first is Schneider Xpress Fineliner:


I love these pens and have been using them to write in my book journal, they write so smoothly and they don't smudge. I also use these at work when I have to take the weekly minutes, I have to write so fast this lovely pen can keep up with me without making my hand go numb.

I love these pens that much I have one blue and a black one in my work jacket pocket, I also carry some in my pencil case.

Thanks for tuning in.

Stationery Finds

While I was off on Friday, me and my partner had a look round the local town centre, and I found some good stuff:

Art Shop

We have a shop in the town centre that deals specifically with arts and crafts, I'd previously seen paper in there and thought they might make good dividers in Jack (My Filofax, I've christened him lol)

Dominoes, blue leaf, and the Wicked Witch of the West

Wicked Witch and Scarecrow
 These I thought would make great dividers (will post in the future about my Filofax setup still tweaking it abit).
 I also found these small sticky notes and some washi tape, thought these would make a good addition to my craft box (I will do a post on my craft box and contents in the near future).

Sticky notes, washi tape, date stamp, duck sticky notes, duck stickers, and some binding rings
 I also had a look in our local rymans and grabbed a date stamp for my book journal, then I saw the duck stickers and sticky notes (I love ducks, as seen with my banner lol)

Wilkinson's

Washi tape, sticky notes
 I also had a look in our local Wilkinsons and came across this washi tape, (I have been looking for a yellow one for the summer months) I also found the sticky notes and thought they would look good in October.

Washi Tape

Thanks for tuning in

Teesside Park

 Me and my partner headed over to Teesside park to grab some printer paper (I needed to buy a specific colour) and I did manage to buy a few things.

 Staples

We headed to staples and grabbed some printer paper but I also grabbed some Martha Stewart items while they were on offer

I grabbed another to do book and some sticky notes with lines, I thought these would look good in my Filofax.

Hobbycraft

We also went and had a look in Hobbycraft where they had a buy 1 get 1 free on tape (so I had to buy a couple of rolls.

 I also grabbed some thin Happy Birthday ribbon as I thought this would look good.


Clintons

I also went to Clinton's card and bought some more of the Pentel sign pens in green, yellow, and pink

Thanks for tuning in

Cult pens

I went on Cult Pens and saw some pens that made me go ooh, so I made a purchase.

Faber-Castell - Textliner Dry
I thought I would try these dry textliners to see if they were any good (and because they were in pencil form they won't bleed through the page).

Staedler Textsurfer Gel
I thought I would also give these gel highlighters a go as the description said that they would not bleed through and that they were inkjet safe.

Zebra Z1 Ballpoint Pen
I love the Zebra Z1 they write really well and are inexpensive (I will be doing a stationery must have on these in the future so keep an eye out)

Schneider Slider Reload
I love Schneider pens, and with their slider range you really can't go wrong.

Thanks for tuning in

Artbox Raid

I ended up finding the Artbox website and wow, there was some very nice things on there. Due to it being payday I made an order for some things.

Artbox order
You can see I did order quite a bit, this lot should last me a while (the operative word being should)


Washi tape (thought these were quite sweet)


Sticky notes (I thought the bear was good and the mini ones I can use for tv shows that I watch)


The 2 pencils were bought because of the design (I love London, and it had a Union Jack, and want to go to Paris)



Stickers, they had some great stickers, thought these would come in handy in brightening up my Filofax
 
Very chuffed with my order and will be ordering from Artbox again (have noticed some Rilakkuma notebooks  and tape that I might have to order next month)
 
Some of the stickers you will see in the coming weeks on the 'My Week' posts (Week 13 due tomorrow).
 
Thanks for tuning in.

Rymans / Paperchase


We took my stepson out to a fun day in the local town centre, and while I was there I did a little browsing and maybe a little spending (you can see it's payday)

Entered Rymans and found some nice stickers to add to my Filofax (grabbed some Santa's ready for December)
Ryman's Haul

Care Bears + Balloons
Fast Food + Care Bears
Had a nosy in Paperchase and found some stickers for birthdays (which is what I was after) and saw some nice sticky notes in the shape of french fries (I thought they were quite cute).

Thanks to Imy off of Imysworld for mentioning on her blog Cult Pens as I am in love, I have never seen that many pens in one place, and they have Schneider pens (I do love Schneider Pens - review coming in the future)
Cult pens haul
I have found my new favorite shop

Schneider Slider Ballpoint - Black, Blue and Orange

Schneider Slider Edge XB - Black +Blue


Schneider Slider Memo XB - Black


Free Schnieder Office Set





Free pen from Schneider - Which I will be passing on to my mum (I get my pen addiction from her)


As you can see I did buy quite a lot of pens (I'm a stationery addict, I admit it.)

OHTO Slide Smile Clips
I also saw these clips and thought they were quite quirky and added some to my basket to try out (any good and I'll buy some more).

Thanks for tuning in.
