These are my most recent stationary hauls. I haven't purchased stationary stuffs and planner supplies for a while because I haven't got time to decorate my planner lately. But these past couple of months I started to get my groove back and I went back to decorating my planner again. So to celebrate my "coming back" I decided to treat myself some cute little decorative items for my planner (^_^)

From Books & Beyond :

Books & Beyond has some cute stickers from Funny Sticker Worlds! I love this brand, their stickers has amazing quality and colors!

From an Instagram store (Yessica Shop) :

I got myself some page flags, washi tapes, deco tape set, and a cute carousel sticker! Oh yeah, I also found my first Sanrio washi! :D

( isn't she lovely ? )

I hope with these new purchases I can start decorating my planner again routinely. Oh and do you happen to know where can I get Mambi planner or Me & My Big Ideas Happy Planner here in Indonesia? The international shipping cost is too expensive from the website (*sad) and I really wanted one for my new planner :(

Please do let me know if you have any info! I've tried the P/O system with Made with Love Indonesia but they are currently not accepting P/O for the moment huhuhuuu... :(

Well anyway, happy planner-ing !



 

Stationary Haul #4

Haven't uploaded my stationary things lately so here are a couple of some previous purchases from local bookstore :

When I went to the mall to have dinner with my family I sneak inside this little stationary store called Office1 to look for new stationary stuffs. I only had 5 minutes extra time to go into the store and come out again to meet my family, so I ran into the store, did a quick sweep on things that I could buy, and found this cute craft punch that came with 4 different punches, and also spotted this vintage-themed name stickers that I thought I could use for my planner. So I grab those fast, ran to the cashier, and went out the store in 5 minutes (;p)

Below are the things that I got from Ebay. I used to scoured ebay for cheap stationary pieces but currently I don't do that anymore because now I have found some online stores that sell the exact same stationary pieces with an even cheaper price. I also don't have to wait for a long delivery time with these local online stores as I usually would when I'm buying from ebay. So these are my last haul from ebay from a couple months ago (maybe I would shop stationary from ebay again if I found something from hema) :

Those are accumulative hauls, sourced from different ebay sellers. I bought and won the bid of a rainbow round-sticker set, a floral fabric tape, a die-cut type masking tape, and I also won a set of 10 deco tapes in various patterns.

The theme of this deco tape set is "pink/red" and my favorites include the Parisienne themes, the red bow, and the Hello Kitty one ;)

Next is a purchase I made from one of my most favorite local store to buy stationary from : TM Bookstore. If you live in Jakarta and love stationary you should definitely check out TM bookstore. I'm not sure whether it's also available in other cities but you can definitely check on google for its locations.

I found some cute stickers there; from Sushi sticker set, musical note sticker, smilies sticker, cherry sticker, as well as two ribbons (silver & gold) for gift wrapping, and also a deco tape! I've been wanting to try a deco tape and I'm so glad I found one at TM bookstore. I am currently loving this and will def buy more of this deco tape ;)

Then a couple weeks later I went again to TM bookstore in another location and found these cute little things on the site :

This time I got so many stuffs and did a big haul including stickers, sticky note pads, wooden stamps, as well as pretty looking paper clips!

I'm trying some stamps on my planner as part of decoration so I needed cute stamps to add to my collection. I also love using deco sticker set which is a set of stickers in random patterns and shapes. It looks like this one below: 

My favorite hauls from this one are definitely the sticky note sets which comes with beautiful covers and pretty looking sticky notes inside. I bought all three of the available pattern because I just love them all (^_^)

That's it for my fourth haul this year. It's actually hauls from months ago but I just posted it now. I've been neglecting my planner these past several months but I'm planning to get back on it soon. I also have another stationary haul that I plan to upload soon, so please stay subscribed if you love stationary stuffs :)

Happy planning!

Stationery Haul : Part 2 & Part 3 (TM Bookstore)

If you follow me on my Instagram (id: yurikristia) then you must have noticed that I am currently obsessing with stationery, planner stuffs, etc. I have been a planner addict since high school and all through my college years. I've been using planners all through those years and my planner is always been full of colorful decoration. You can ask my friends about this, they usually would borrow my planner during class just to read through my planner. Apparently they think my colorful planner is more entertaining compared to the lecture (>o<)

So anyway, after college I started my 9 to 5 job and during those years I never have the time to wrtie in my planner again because life just gets in the way. I had a stressful job back then and I just simply don't have time for anything else, so my planner obsession was shut down immediately.

But now that I don't work 9 to 5 anymore I can finally have the time for planner, stationery, journal decor, etc again! I am so happy to have rekindled my love for stationery again because decorating planner / journal is something that I enjoyed very very much. It's very therapeutic for me, and I need it to de-stress myself. It's a very good stress-buster for me (^_^)

So to start off my new Stationery/Planner series in this blog, here are the first two big hauls that I did back in late December / early January when I first started to rekindle with my stationery / planner obsession:

Haul #1 :

This is gonna be a new series here on my blog. In this Stationery series you will see the places that I'd like to get all my stationery stock from. In Us and European countries they have Kikki.K, Target, Hema, etc to look for cute stationery items, while here in Jakarta - Indonesia we have Gramedia book store, Scoop, and TM bookstore, etc.

My favorite is TM Bookstore. The closest TM book store from my area (southern Jakarta) are in Poins Lebak Bulus and Depok Town Square. I prefer TM than Gramedia because TM seems to have more variety of stationery compared to Gramed, and the prices are slightly cheaper too. I always found some cute things from TM and they changed up their goods routinely so it seems that there's always something new every time I went to that store.

In this first haul, I went to TM and got myself some beginners stuffs such as glue tape, colorful pens, sticky notes, colorful stickers, etc...

These TOP Penciltic pen comes in various colors of the rainbow. They are so cheap (Gramed sells them for IDR 4000/5000 each (50 cents) - if I'm not mistaken, while TM sells them for 3000 each ;p). 

Although I do like the colorful packaging but these pens seep through the pages (alias tembus ke belakang kertas) even on thicker paper, so these are actually not my favorite ones to use.

The glue tape is my first one though.. I learned about this glue tape from foreign youtubers. I thought it's very practical to use and I don't have to smear my fingers with glue as usual, so I was glad to have found this in TM bookstore. The shape is similar to a correction tape but this one contains glue instead of correction ink. It is a "Must-have" for newbie scrapbooker!

I also bought some sticky notes and stickers. The stickers are glittery and very festive, while the mini folded sticky note set is my most favorite purchase from this first haul. 

The sticky note set is from Echi and they have a few variant but I chose this purple one instead. It's small but when you open it up it holds 5 different sticky notes inside it. And the best part is this was on discount too! :)

I like it because it's small enough you can put it inside your bag incase you need something to write on, or incase you need to leave a message to someone. I usually have something small like this in my stationery pouch that I bring with me inside my bag :)

Unfortunately I didn't find any washi tape in TM bookstore because I think they don't sell it yet, but I do find these cute deco tape with really cheap price, only about a dollar (sekitar seribuan rupiah aja satunya ;p). There were only three patterns left at the rack so I grab each one of them. These decorative tape would be great for gift wrapping especially if you use plain / colored gift wrap paper.

Last but not least, these are the alphabet stickers that are on top of my "To-Buy" list. I love using alphabet stickers to mark a page or to put up the "month" in a page by spelling them out with these alphabet stickers. I usually also use alphabet stickers to mark the day or the month in my diary/journal book.

Alphabet stickers are not that easy to find, so when I found one I usually buy them in two :) I like this one that I found in TM because they are small but colorful so I can mix n match the colors. These are also very cheap, only IDR 3000 per sheet (around 30 cents).

Haul #2 :

After my successful first haul from TM bookstore I decided to come back the very next day for my second haul ;p

Surprisingly on the second day I got there I found out that they have put up new stickers, new sticky notes, and a couple of new notebooks on their rack! This is why I love TM bookstore, they seems to rotate their products routinely. There's always something new every time I go there :)

In this round I got myself another Penciltic pen in blue, a regular red marker because I'm out of red marker, and a new set of stamp! 

Stamps are new to me because I never use stamps in my decorating process before, so I think I'll try the newbie stamp first. This was cheap and was also on discount :)

Noticing some new note books on the rack I picked up two of them. The left floral one has different designs on each page so I think it would be very useful to decorate my journal and/or to write some notes or letter to someone (because I'm thinking of doing some International penpals soon).

The right one has a very pretty design. With vintage pale green and vintage style sketch at the center with a touch of french language at the front which makes it even more beautiful. I will use this as my new diary/journal book because it has blank pages which is perfect as a decoration background.

One of my best purchase from this lot is this super adorable Hello Kitty set! Isn't she pretty? I love red color so this set obviously called my name from the rack :) This set was also on discount and I think it was about IDR 24000 which is about $2.5 - it includes 4 HK pencils, 1 HK pen, 1 eraser, 1 sharpener, and a cute HK shaped note!

I think it was a steal considering that this is authentic Sanrio products because it has the brand name and registered Sanrio trademark behind the package ;p

I got one more sticker from the rack which is this large Rilakkuma sticker pad. I'm not really a fan of Rilakkuma but this is so cheap and comes with lots of small stickers which I will need to decorate my planner pages. So on to the shopping cart it is! :)

One more thing I got from this second haul is a new monthly planner! I was contemplating buying this one because I already have a planner that I custom-made in Gramedia a while ago, but I decided to buy this one anyway so I can use two planners at the same time. Another reason is because this planner is so freaking cute! Just look at the different designs in all the pages!! *I'm in love*

-------------------------------

Well I think that's all from my second haul at TM bookstore and here is a full photo of all the goodies that I got from both of my hauls:

I think these would suffice for a while :)

One more thing, I also received my sticker order that I won from ebay at the same time of doing this purchase. It was a cute cat stickers with 6 different sticker sheets that I can use to decorate my daily planner pages:

So that's it for now.. 

I'm gonna post my planner page spread on the next post so if you love stationery and planner decorating please subscribe to this blog and also subscribe to my Instagram (id: yurikristia) !

See you later, alligator!

Stationary Haul #1

I've been into stationery again lately and I bought two planners for this year's planning, so I did a lot of stationary hauls especially from the start of this month. I've been writing journals and decorating my planner since I was in college but when I had my 9 to 5 office job I didn't have extra time to decor my planner. This year I started using planner regularly again, and I was inspired by all the budding stationary-addict out there to decorate my planners and journal to make them look pretty :)

So, here is my stationary haul part 1. 

I bought all these things mostly to decorate my planner and journal, so you will see lots of stickers, sticky notes, page flags, etc ... 

Also, I plan to name my haul in Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, etc -- so that I would know how many stationary hauls I did in one month.

One more thing, what you will see below are a collective haul from a week. So usually I would go and buy some stationary things 1-2 times a week (because I'm starting as newbie again so I still need to build my stationary / planner supplies). 

FYI for my foreign readers, I live in Jakarta - Indonesia so most of these things I got from local stores and Ebay. We don't have Target or Hema here so I usually shop at Scoop (a must-visit store for stationary addict!) and our local book store such as Gramedia, etc.

For week 1 of January I went to SCOOP and bought these :

Three Page Flags 

Vintage Post Card set

Vintage Bird Stamp Stickers

Two Fabric Tapes

I forgot about the scissor, it wasn't part of my Scoop haul. 

It's a "Wave" Crafting Scissor and I bought it at TM Bookstore.

My most favorite purchase are probably these fabric tapes. 

I bought two of them: one in pink floral design (with adhesive) and a neutral lace tape (with no adhesive)

And then I went to IKEA and bought these items which I would use for planner decorating and gift wrapping:

 A set of Gold Gift Tags

A set of Paper Ribbons

The Hello Kitty tall mug is not from Ikea, 

I bought it from TM Bookstore and it's for my pencil holders on my desk ;p

 The two items above are the ones that I got from Ikea

Then at the end of the week I went to SCOOP again and bought these:

 Rose Floral Round Tin

A set of "Internet Symbols" Page Flags

Kitchen Sticker set

Masking Sticker Set (>> I LOVETHIS!)

Two Deco Paper Tapes

 I really love the victorian romance theme in this haul :)

I love how pretty these deco paper tapes are!

 This is what's inside the Masking Sticker set. 

It comes with 8 different sheets full with a variety of stickers. You can see from the photo above that each sheet has different patterns, and each of the pattern has its own cutting lines in it. So all I have to do is just peel them! 

I really love this! Perfect to decorate any planner in a jiffy.

Lastly, here's the details of the page flag and kitchen stickers:
