What's On My Desk

My desk needed a good tidying up after finishing my exams. I thought I'd dedicate this blog post to everything that's on my desk

I'll first start up with my little friends that help me through my studies. As you can see I have cute little rainbow lamb. This was an Easter present from my grandparents when I was about 5 years old and I just love him so much. He's gone a bit grey over the years but he's still great company. I also have a cute little tortoise with glasses. I bought this myself when on holiday to Malta and he just gives me the wise vibes (sorry what?!). Anyway, my Mum also has a similar large one, but instead it sports a hat instead of these top range glasses. 

I've also got some cute cat clips which hold the photo of my grandma and great-grandmother. My friend recently went to Japan and got me this cute pink origami peace dove. The people that survived the horrific atomic bombing make these origami to promote peace. After the tragic incident that happened there during World War II, it is incredible to know that they carry on striving for peace. I can't help but wonder the story of the person who made my origami. I would really love to visit Nagasaki myself one day to witness the horror but also the hope in people's faces. 

I love my mug which holds the gulp of my stationary supplies. It is a red dragon which I bought from Wales, sporting the dragon of the Welsh flag. Inside I have two rulers (because one just isn't enough), two pens (including an adorable Rilakkuma bear), a fluffy sheep pencil, scissors and quite a few highlighters. I love highlighters because I just need some colour to brighten up my revision notes. 

I also own a little green storage container from Hawaii. My auntie bought this for me from Hawaii and it comes in very useful. Inside I store some paint tubes of various colours. In the outside pockets I have even more highlighters, some cool tinc felt-tip pens which I never use, paintbrushes, and some artificial flowers. 

Scattered across my desk include some boring stationary supplies which include: a rubber, stapler, hole-punch, correcting fluid, a box of pins, another box of clips to keep my separate revision cards in place, revision/index cards, post-it notes and of course my laptop. I do have a lava lamp, but sadly I need to replace the bulb..so that doesn't work at the moment.  I also have some super cute tissues my Mum got me from London which I have never opened, and probably never will. Last but not least, my roll of stabilo pens. These are great! The colours are beautiful and some are very unique. They're perfect for note taking and brighten up any gloomy revision day. I definitely recommend these to anyone who loves stationary. 

In the picture you have probably notices my wall. Yep, that big, colourful wacky thing. I like to brighten up the ambiance with this collection of keep-sakes. Each postcard, or whatever else I can stick on this wall, tells its own story. I call it the inspiration wall because I often just daze into it, recalling ideas and new challenges. It is possibly my favourite thing about my room because it's very personal to me. I do hope to fill the entire wall someday, but we'll see how that will turn out. ^.^
