Hello there, beautiful scribblers. How are you all doing on this 2nd Monday of the year, I hope you are all doing well. Remember to stay strong, smile, or laugh as it's good for our mental health... Here's a sketch I did yesterday during our Sunday Scribbles Monthly Zoom Meet up. It's supposed to be a Water Rabbit as it signifies this year's Chinese New Year (which starts on 22nd January, btw). And yes ladies, I have given him a name he is called 'Gulf-ie'. I think you can guess it's a play with words as the 'Gulf's' around the world are usually coastal areas... I also wanted to use this gorgeous new fountain pen from @cultpens. Thank you for your amazing customer service and quick delivery. I greatly appreciate it.... I teamed it with @privatereserveink.official Shoreline Gold personally. I think it's a perfect match, what do you think...? This @conklinpens_official Duraflex Sonora by @yafabrands_official was specifically made for @cultpens it's the 1st broad nib I've ever tried and surprisingly I absolutely love it, so again I'd like to thank Yafa Brands Official for making this, I love the colour, the nib, the weight/balance, the smoothness of the nib on paper, the wetness of the ink and the fact you only commissioned 250 to be made (I have number 137)... #journal, #journalscrapbooking, #dowhatyoulove, #stationerylove, #vintagevibed, #moderncreativejournal, #journalcommunity, #fountainpen, #penmanship, #handwriting, #keepajournal, #notebook, #scrapbooking, #mgmbme, #journalscribblers, #scrapbookingideas, #journalideas, #journalinspiration, #mgmbesalie, #penandink, #stationeryideas2022, #sturminsternewton, #dorsetUK (at Sturminster Newton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnM4FVZIDED/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi there beautiful people, how's your Saturday going, today has given me the chance to actually do some personal Journalling rather than #challenge related... It's a bit of history/personal it's Plato theory 'ᴠɪʀᴛᴜᴇ ɪs ᴋɴᴏᴡʟᴇᴅɢᴇ' and how Socrates tackles this idea with his associates. But with this in mind, it's something that can be used with todays lifestyle, so with Virtue is knowledge we are able to teach ourselves to see the bad things before we act on it. Virtue is indeed all about grasping clearly what is good and why it is is good. My ex always use to say to me 'Speak kind words Hear kind Echoes' this is virtue and it's being good as good will come back to you... Do you like my sketches of both Plato and Socrates.....?

Hello there beautiful pen and inky scribblers, how are you all doing today. Here's the 22nd January's week 3 prompts of the #penandinkchallege This week ideas have been set by @claudespaintings and @penandinkchallenge The prompts she has chosen is 'Winter Animals' and for today it's a 'Deer' Here are the facts - Deer or true deer are hoofed herbivorous grazing mammals from the Cervidae family. There are two main groups of the deer family - the Cervinae, including the Muntjac also known as the barking deer and are native to Southern and Southeast Asia. The elk, or wapiti, is one of the larger species Cervidae family, and one of the largest terrestrial mammals in its native land of North America as well as Central and Eastern Asia. The red deer, this to is one of the larger deer species. They can be found in Europe, Caucasus Mountains, Anatolia, Iran, parts of Western Asia and the Atlas Mountains of Northern Africa. The Red deer is commonly known as a stag or hart, and a female a hind. Then finally in the Cervinae family the fallow deer. - the Capreolinae, including the reindeer (caribou), white-tailed deer, the roe deer, and the moose. Male deer of all species except the water deer, grow antlers this includes the female, each year the grow and shed their antlers. Only the Horned Antelope whose antlers are permanent, they come from a completely different family known as Bovidae which comprise the biological family of Cloven-Hoofed, Ruminant Mammals that also includes Cattle, Bison, Buffalo, and Caprines.

Friendship and Gratitude. They say that the best kind of people are the ones that come into your life and make you see the sunshine even when it's dark and dismal outside. That's exactly how I feel with my Sunday Scribbles group, they brighten up my life with their rays of sunshine and I am ever so thankful to them for that... It's amazing how friendship are formed with those you can never dream would be part of you life, and you can't imagine being without them. Thank you for making me smile... Today I used my gorgeous @conklinpens_official Duragraph Red Night's with a stub nib by @yafabrands_official and teamed it with their Dusky Rose ink, which I think suits it very well.... @skybambi @paperabilia @kari.bullet.journal @science.notes @penfibook @naraenil @insponote @thesnowystudio @suzettes_pretty_pages #sundayscribbleszoommeetup, #dowhatmakesyouhappy #myhappylife #scrapbooking, #mgmbme, #journalscribblers, #scrapbookingideas, #journalideas, #journalinspiration, #mgmbesalie, #penandink, #stationeryideas2022, #sturminsternewton, #dorsetUK (at Sturminster Newton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVFdoxI-a0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On Friday morning I had a knock on my door it was my postman holding out a parcel from @cultpens it was my new @conklinpens_official Fountain Pen The Sonora pacifically made for them, this is the first numbered pen I've ever had, it's also got the first broad nib I've ever used and like all Conklin and @yafabrands_official fountain pens they are a joy to use. A couple of weeks ago someone noted that I like both Conklin and Monteverde fountain pens and I clearly remember saying to them that I am a big fan of @yafabrands_official in general as they not only sell their pens at an affordable prices, but they never let me down, right out of the box it felt very comfortable, no matter what nib I've chosen they ALL write beautifully and again it doesn't seem to matter about what sort of paper I'm using. This time I teamed it with @privatereserveink.official Shoreline Gold and again a perfect match in my books... So I'd like to say thank you to @cultpens @conklinpens_official and @yafabrands_official for creating this limited edition Duraflex fountain pen, of which I've got number 137... #mgmbesalie,#domoreofwhatmakesyouhappy #deskdecor #mgmbme, #journalscribblers, #monteverde, #mgmbesalie, #ғᴏᴜɴᴛᴀɪɴᴘᴇɴ, #sturminsternewton, #dorsetUK, #teamconklin #duraflex #teamyafabrands_official #conklinduraflex (at Sturminster Newton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnLLHeoo2-h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi there everyone here's a picture of mum and myself on New Year's Day. It's quite difficult trying to take a selfie when there's two of you, it took me several go's to get it where I wasn't cutting mum off and this one was the best (out of 9) lol No pens or notebooks in this shot I'm afraid but here's the girls ready to have our lunch... #mgmbesalie #mgmbme #mums (at Sturminster Newton) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9gU75o7WA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
