Hobbycraft Haul

Some of you may know that I keep a scrapbook...I use it to document things in my life, rather than having a memory box I chose to document things in a book! I am in process of putting together a blog post of what is inside my scrapbook so I will go into more depth on why I started it and what sort of thing I put in it. This haul is made up of stuff from my recent trip as well as things I got given for my birthday.

Hot Glue Gun - I got this for my birthday and I can't wait to try it out!

Squares of decorative paper

Some Graduation stickers! - I have been planning a graduation page for a while, I actually happened to get given the same pack of stickers for my birthday

When in need of some cute universal stickers these are the ones!

Some generic travel stickers!

I was given these for my birthday, I love the polaroid frames and have so many ideas of how I could use them outside of my scrapbook and for decoration using those glass photo frames.

Some more travel stickers! - I came across these when I was looking for some Greece/Athens themed stickers but apparently these don't exist...WHY NOT?! So these were my next best option.

Again because I haven't found any Greece themed pieces I have decided to get super crafty and make miniature greek flags on cocktail sticks so I picked up this white pen to do the lines.

You can never have too many letter stickers, as you will see in my next post I actually don't have any and I like to put titles on my pages so it will be good to finally have a few options. I love the map print stickers as these will be great for when I travel.

Some Grace Taylor decorative scrapbook page sheets... I have a very bold overly decorative pack of pages at the minute and so I wanted something that was a lot more minimalist...

What I got for my 21st birthday

I recently celebrated my 21st birthday and I was fortunate enough to receive lots of lovely things so I thought I would share a few of them with you...

Along side all of these I also received an Oliver Bonas bracelet, a Cath Kidston wash bag, an afternoon tea at The Ritz gift voucher (this shall be explained in one of my next posts) and a couple of Pandora beads which are in one of my many boxes as I am currently moving from out of my student house!

 A few bath bombs, a facemask and a Ted Baker makeup/wash stuff bag which I absolutely love! I can't wait to take it to Greece with me in the Summer and I can' wait to try out the bath bombs, especially the one with the rainbow on top as I have brought it many times for other people but not myself.

 A beautiful glass jar that I am unsure of what is going to go in it and a couple of candles, the big blue one is a Sea Salt scented candle and the smaller one which I have burnt is a Lavender smell.

 Cakeology, which is a coffee table recipe book because it is full of amazing cakes that would take weeks to actually make! A Hummingbird Bakery recipe book which I had requested and some multicoloured sugar which I am still undecided on whether it is for decorating or if it is actually granulated sugar.

A New 50-200mm camera lens and some Scrabble Fairy lights that I can't wait to use however I am stuck with what I should write on them...I have 10 characters so please leave some suggestions in the comments!

Last but not least, this beautiful Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette which I have been wanting for so long! There are some both beautiful and interesting colours that I am enjoying experimenting with.
