Time for another round up of things I have been reading lately. There's quite a few businessy related articles this month as I've been trying hard to learn how to get people to visit my new website. But there's also some awesome DIYs that I really must find time to try.

Blog and Buy Sale Spring Wish List

This year I am trying to be brave and get myself out there a little bit more. It's hard because people might say no, and that makes me a little bit sad. But, just sometimes, they say yes! And that's exactly what the lovely folks at Blog and Buy Sale said when I applied to take part in their Spring Wish List. I'm very excited to have my map notebooks featured alongside some uber-cool handmade products.

Button magnets

I love buttons and wanted a way to have more out on display rather than hiding them away in jars. Buttons aren't just for shirts, they make great decorative items and there are some amazing buttons out there that deserve to be shown off. So I started creating button magnets.
