Foxy Fix *NEW* Bujo Foundation Stamp Kit

Keep a notebook. Travel with it, eat with it, sleep with it. 
Slap into it every stray thought that flutters up into your brain.
Cheap paper is less perishable than gray matter, and lead pencil
markings endure longer than memory.
-Jack London

These words pierce my heart like an arrow. I can't remember how many times a memory enters my thoughts, and then escapes as if it where the wind through the trees. How I have learned over the years that I need to catch that thought and keep it safe into my memory bank. Memories are our legacy. This is what brought me to seek out my-now-favorite company...


Foxy Fix

Foxy Fix products are made of full grain and top grain veg tan leather and premium aniline dyed leather. They contain natural range markings, scars, moles (beauty marks) and other natural markings that one can find on full grain and top grain leather. Each cover is as unique as you and me and that is what makes them beautiful! Textures will range from smooth to rippled. And color tone will vary. Proudly handcrafted in the USA!** 

Foxy Fix is growing their empire rapidly! A husband and wife team they are creating more and more  accessories for their amazing leather products! This week, they just launched the first ever BUJO FOUNDATION STAMPING KIT!!! I was blessed to be able to have one of the first ones so I can share my thoughts, my layouts and share awesome deals with you all.

Here is a description of the stamps that Kelly has shared with our Facebook Group: My Foxy Fix  (if you haven't join, make sure you do. They give out new information there first ;) )

The entire set is designed to work with each other to make graphs, columns, charts, days of the week and more! They include shapes, squares, rectangles, columns, graphs both monthly and hourly, lines, banners etc. The stamps may not be cute but they will help you easily create the space in your notebook you want for planning or journaling. These stamps are made of high quality photopolymer. 


 


Right now, Foxy Fix is being generous and selling the entire Foundation Kit for 25% off!!! That's $50 + you will save if you order this kit NOW!  I double checked and you get over 100 stamps that can be used any way you want. They are simple, but open up a world of possibilities!! If you do buy the stamps, you are able to pick out 1 free notebook 

If you don't want to buy the entire kit. That's ok! You can still buy the individual sets (still 25% off!!) 


Here I am making my very first Mission Board for the month of May I am using a hobonichi planner and it has a buttery, soft leather cover in Alice! 


These stamps are total game changers. Completely! Please keep checking back to see how I use these beautiful stamps. I will be experimenting with different layouts!

Buying these beautiful, handmade leather pieces of art has been one of the best things that I have done for myself! I have been inspired by Kelly, Jordan and Foxy Fix in so many ways, and because of their amazing artisan creations, I now have a special place for my memories to live on forever. I really hope one day my grandchildren will read my journals and appreciate my artwork. I pray that my grandchildren will know who I was, not just as their grandmother, but as me. These leather journals are my legacy.

April Favorites!

It's already May?! Where did April go? Life is going by so quickly....

Here are my April Favorite: 



Made of premium leather, this pouch is butter and soft, perfect for holding your writing supplies, or even beauty supplies! I use it as a clutch when I'm doing something fancy. The color is subtle and calm. It will not patina like some leathers either, which means the beautiful color is here to stay! 


If you know me, you know I love owls (my obsession with these wise creatures will be revealed with time, i'm sure). I love coffee. Owls + Coffee = My favorite mug ever! I love natural life products and this one is my favorite with a reminder printed on the inside: Be Happy. 


I was gifted these pens before I discovered the world of planning and journaling from a friend we were visiting. She was showing me her zentangled designs and I was in love. Since then, these are my most favorite pens to sketch and draw with. You can find them at most local craft and hobby stores, or find them on amazon. 


Made of premium leather, this foxy perfect bound fits thicker notebooks such as hobonichi, leuchtturm 1917, and Moleskine to name a few. Please make sure you double check the size charts on Foxy Fix web page.

Who is "Little Miss Alaska" ?!

In this world, where life is fast and furious and sometimes tough, there's nothing more important than intimate and authentic reflection...


Putting pen to paper, not worrying about the actual penmanship but capturing the little moments that make life real, raw and beautiful. This is where I gather favorite memories, share my own creative expression in soul, writing, creating, and living. This is my window to find commonality and kindred spirits! I want to find my tribe, and through the community of journaling and planning I have found my soul sisters (#planneraddict #journalingcommunity #planningcommunity) 



This little corner of the endless tabs on the internet, this little blog is my blank canvas. I'm so excited to splatter some paint on! It's a new leather journal complete with stickers, stamps and pens that I can't wait to write on. It's an empty scrapbook that is begging to be filled. is my happy place where I get to share with you my journaling and planning style, new jewelry I have created, tips, tricks and tutorials! 


So pretend I have just invited you over for a cup of coffee, it's ok. I'll let you use one of my favorite owl mugs, we can sit and talk about this fast and furious ride called life. And we'll create some masterpieces.
