Thank you for continuing to link up! I love reading everyone’s chosen words, and it’s great to see so many familiar linkers, as well as new ones each week. It is a linky, so do please take the time to visit a few other posts if you link up, as that’s only fair.
If you’re new here, Word of the Week is a nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. You reflect back on the past week and sum it up in one word. Then share your word with us in a blog post, with as little or as much explanation as you like. Come join in!
My word of the week this week is:
I am a fan of stationery, so this is a good word for me to use for my week!
For those of you that don’t know, this is actually National Stationery Week, so it does seem fitting to have this as my word. I was also lucky enough to have some beautiful new stationery from the children for Mother’s Day – they know me so well! As I was away last week, I had letters to reply to on my return, so I’ve been catching up on my correspondence this week, too. I’ve been ordering myself some blog business cards from 123Print, and will share my review and offer a giveaway on those soon. And, in case you missed it, I’ve launched #BringBackPaper this week, which I’m very excited about, as it’s a chance for me to totally indulge my stationery obsession, run a book swap, and hopefully find other like-minded folk! I’m also offering #BringBackPaper stationery treat bundles from my shop, so I’ve been ordering in some gorgeous writing sets, notecards and jotter pads for those. Oh, I do love pretty paper….!
What about you? What one word sums up your week best? Grab the badge, link up and share, and do please take the time to read a few others…
Linky opens at 6.30am Friday, to midnight on Sunday.
There is something so lovely about beautiful stationery! And I love your campaign x
Thank you so much x
The teacher in me can’t get enough of stationary…. A new journal? Some note cards just because… Oh go on then!
#wotw
Exactly! Buy stationery, just because…!
I love stationery. As a child I collect the ones with dainty designs and strawberry smelling ones. After school me & my classmates would exchange sheets of them. This went through high school & college and my stationery box is so full of wonderful paper items! Everything is gone is a second tho when there were flashflood. Everything is gone with my books and comics and graphic novels =( Sad story I know but good memories.
Oh no, such a shame. It is sad, though glad your memories are good x
I love notebooks where I can write my never ending to-do lists!
Got to be done!
I love all things paper too! Great idea for a feature x
Thank you! X
I love pretty paper, note pads, journals. You can never have enough in my opinion!
I’m of the very same opinion!
I do love a nice pretty notebook. 🙂
Oh, me, too 🙂
I love beautiful stationary too. Been a while since I actually used some though:-( what with emails, texts and everything.
Use it! #BringBackPaper
I love stationary so hard!!!! As a teacher any excuse to get a new snazzy pencil case. I recently brought all of the Cath Kidston stationary. It made me so so so happy! xxx
Oh, I’ve just bought some of hers, too – love it!
I can’t remember the last time I had some lovely stationery, I might have to treat myself 🙂 all linked up x
Treat yourself! Everyone needs pretty stationery!
I love pretty stationery and can spend hours wandering around places like Paperchase (have you been to the branch on Tottenham Court Road? HEAVEN!).
Bunny got a card-making and scrapbooking set for her birthday and we were playing with that yesterday, and it was so hard to not join in and take over as she created some thank you cards with it.
I will be linking up later, when I’m in from work. x
You did well not to take over! I love Paperchase, and just want everything!
I do love nice pretty stationary but my daughter seems to acquire all of mine lately it’s ridiculous made up to be part of your #BringBackPaper book swap #WotW
Lovely to have you be a part of it 🙂
I really want to join in your #bringbackpaper but because I’ve been so Ill I just couldn’t face it. As soon as I’m feeling better tho, I will 🙂
Oh no, sorry to hear you’ve been ill. Yes, join in when you’re brighter then x
What a great idea, especially being so far away from home I find letters and cards are treasured so much more now and significantly more than an email would. Great campaign 🙂
Absolutely. Emails are not got treasuring, are they?! Thanks x
Another Fab idea #BringPaperBack.
I look forward to following this on your blog and taking part.
Sx
Thanks very much. Lovely to have you on board x
I love cards whether thank you, birthday, mother or invitations. Getting an e-card at Christmas is just not the same – I mean, how do I put it on my mantelpiece? Looks like you have some beautiful stationery in your shop.
It isn’t the same at all! And thank you, I do love the range x
I adore pretty paper and cards; but I fear if I added more paper to my life right now I might drown under it… My boys bring a tree a week home as it is 🙂 Love the idea of #bringbackpaper though x
Boo has brought a load home today, too! Thank you x
great word. i love jotting down my blog ideas in pretty notebooks 🙂
Ah, lovely 🙂

I’m very fond of stationary 🙂
I love it!
I do love a nice piece of stationary too! Received a pretty notebook this week! #bringbackpaper is a fab idea x
Oh, lovely! Thanks very much x
Hi Jocelyn,
I have just managed to finish my post about chocolate and linked it. I am so slow… I will now have a look at what everyone has been up to! I love stationery too! I cannot walk past a shop that sells pens or notebooks without stopping for a browse. x Mel
They’re irresistible, aren’t they?! X
Finally got round to reading about your launch of #BringBackPaper – and I think it’s a fantastic idea! Though I do most of my writing on computers I do an awful lot of thinking through notebooks (I think there might be a guest post in that if you’re interested…) – Arthur gave me a very cute one for Mother’s Day which I’ll have to remember to share. And there is nothing quite like receiving snail mail in this digital age. I have a couple of friends who are brilliant at sending cards and I definitely aspire to be more like them. x
Absolutely I’m interested in a guest post! I write and blog on the PC, but can’t think in front of it either – my best ideas always come with pen & paper!
I love putting pen to paper, it feels so much more purposeful than using Notes in my phone.
Only just linking up in time, it’s been a busy week x
