Being Northern Irish I jumped at the chance to take part in Mark Koopman’s Blogfest. Although I live in England now there are little bits of irishness I like to indulge in every once in a while (namely food). So for this Blogfest I have decided to share with you a recipe for a
My Week #9 and Happy Mother’s Day
March is now in full swing and I have filled out this month’s planner using it to plan my Mother’s Day. The week started off quite relaxed with a visit from my parents – we enjoyed a day shopping in town and a steak night in their hotel. It was a great opportunity to catch

Planning my A to Z Challenge – an update
I have started planning my A to Z Challenge posts this week using my notebook. I started by generating a list of a few options for the different letters of the alphabet and then moved on to planning the bare bones of each of the blog posts. A couple of examples are in the pictures

Happy World Book Day
In case you didn’t know today is world book day. I used to love world book day at school as a kid. Being a bookworm the idea of a read-a-thon in the school hall instead of classes was my idea of bliss. I think it is a great initiative. Although the £1 book token won’t

My Week #8: March Already!!?!
I can’t believe that we have reached March already. February seemed shorter this year than before (but obviously it wasn’t). In “Big News” it was my birthday this week and I am despairing at being yet another year older. This week I simply wrote “My Birthday”!! There was something depressing about getting older. But in

A to Z Challenge Notebook
As Printed Portal is all about the organisational notebooks I designed one for the A to Z Challenge back in January and it is now in full swing. Obviously I don’t want to make money for selling notebooks relating to the challenge (as the Challenge is not mine to make a profit from) but obviously

Week #7: Networking
Last week all the events I had “pre-scheduled” seemed to be networking events, including a delicious chocolate tasting event at the local museum. Again, I have been keeping my planner 02 with a very fresh look and I continue to love using the lime green pen to write with. My to-do lists have been more

Week #6: Valentine’s Planning and looking forward into March
It is my sixth week (I think) participating in Angela’s My Week. I love looking at what everyone else has been putting in their planner and how they have been decorating and doodling in it. Like last week I have kept my planner 02 clean. I also got to use the Valentine’s Day Planner and
