This year, I’m determined to share even more of my work in the form of printables. I create a lot of artwork in my journals, but they often sit there for all time, in unfinished form. But even the simplest idea can be transformed into a finished work of art and that’s why I wanted to share this little blooms stationery set with you.
These little bloom doodles come from my journal and I took the extra steps to digitize them into Illustrator to create a repeating pattern. With a few splash of color, I was able to create this cute printable stationery set – pretty cool, huh?
Although it’s not the most groundbreaking design work in the world, I know it still a lovely piece of stationery that you can use in your lettering writing, snail mailing and papercrafting.
The creative process is still a magical process for me, from the spark of an idea to the final steps of creating an actual finished product. You can download the free printable files in your preferred paper size via the links below.

Want some pretty stationery writing paper for notetaking or writing letters?
A few folks asked for plain paper with an essential oil twist, so I thought these bottles of essential oils would be a great paper design.
You can use this printable to create your own stationery writing paper and add them to your home binder to take important notes about your essential oil usage and things to remember as you learn ore.
There’s a lot to learn about essential oils, from experience to reading and interacting with the community. The best way to learn is to write it down – so take notes with this free printable!

InCoWriMo is shorthand for International Correspondence Writing Month and it happens February of each year. The point is to write a letter, card or note to someone every single day of the month. April is also letterwriting month for those participating in that challenge – although I suppose we should simple note that it is ALWAYS a good time to send someone a handwritten letter or card!
I have participated on and off with various snail mailing and correspondence challenges over the years and although I always find it challenging to keep up, I know from experience that participating means that I will write and send more mail than if I just passed.
I don’t know if multiple people are claiming the name but I found multiple references to this letter writing challenge and multiple websites! There is InCoWriMo.org and incowrimo-2017.org – is it two groups promoting the same thing? And of course there is also the LetterMo challenge – same exact idea really. I don’t know who started first or if they just have different names for different groups who like to participate together, but I can understand that February is a popular month for challenges given that it has the least number of days in the year. Trying to help everyone succeed, right?
Regardless, you can definitely participate with whatever challenge or group you choose. They all provide some resources to help you prepare and get started. Namely, it would help to write a list of who you want to write to, get mailing addresses ready, prep stationery/cards/postcards and mailing stamps at hand!
Personally, I don’t think I will make it to the post office or post box every day, so will probably do every couple of days or weekly drops. As with all challenges, you can follow the rules strictly, or just make up your own. Because the point is to doing something enjoyable and not beat yourself up!
I noticed that Boho Berry blogged about InCoWriMo with a giveaway and so did Goulet Pens. I also noticed that quite a few folks in the letter writing community blogged about the upcoming event, so there are groups popping up if you want to join a smaller group who will write to each other. It’s just another way to do some pen pal writing for this month of intense letter writing!
For my own contribution, I would love to share a printable stationery set, so you can prepare for your month of letter writing. I took my Rosie the Riveter drawing and colored her up to design a set of printable stationery for you. There are lined and blank pages as well as the matching envelope. You can easily print out the stationery in advance!

No matter how much planning I do, there are times when everything seems to converge and explode chaos into my life. Maybe this happens more often than I want to admit… but I know that a brain dump really helps to alleviate the stress. With a million things I must do for the kids, for work, for business, for myself dare I say – my brain just goes to overload. The act of writing all the things in my head, down on paper is always the first step to clarity for me.
So I decided to create a stationery printable that makes the process a bit more fun and definitely prettier than plain white copy paper. It’s all about getting more productive with clear head. Once I get it all out, then I can prioritize, organize and file properly. But first – brain dump! Download the get productive stationery paper printable PDF in your preferred paper size below.

I used my classic to-do girl illustration for this lined stationery paper. The lines are wide-ruled, because I like having room to write things out and not have it squished all together. If you need more lines, just print more paper. That’s the beauty of printables! This design also doubles as pretty stationery paper as well, so you can also send some snail mail to friend. I can always use some pretty stationery paper!
