the hunt for a 2011 diary began yesterday night...

first to kmart... then to bigW... the newsagency and then reddot.

nope. nothing. oh there was the breast cancer foundation one, but i had it two years ago and the pages were quite thin...

so it continued this morning. trekked to karrinyup and picked up chris along the way.

first the kikki k. some of them were quite nice. but totally overpriced. like seriously >=[ i refuse to pay $30 for a diary...

next was david jones. yup nothing good there...

then smiggle. last year i had a pretty decent purple smiggle diary which i had left at reddot before it got renovated - and it had dissappeared... then i got another smiggle one, this time a square graphic diary - but because it was already nearly half way through the year, it was on sale for only $3!  so when i saw a similiar square graphic diary for $15...... i just couldn't bring myself to buy it. and when i went looking for the normal A5 diaries - they were all shiney O__O and like glossy, plasticy and weird. very weird. *dislike*. oh there was a pretty nice weekly planner thing - but it didn't have dates! you had to like.. circle it yourself, and i'm too lazy

then we took a break from our diary hunting and went to HJs for brekky.

after regaining some energy, we went to myer, bigW, the newagency and back to kikki k (where chris decided to buy his 2011 diary)

but me? what did i buy?

i finally found one i liked in myer! it was 30% off too :)

it's part of an artist exclusive range... and by nadia flower

metal spiral bind. hard cardboard front & back cover. A5 size. white pages -not too thin. a week to a double page spread. week numbers on each page. yearly planner at the front. spare pages at the back (both lined and blank). ahh it's perfect!

and i quite like the cover.

so yeah i went to her website and i must say, she has some pretty awesome artwork. some pretty abstract stuff too.

ahh. so yes, i'm very happy with my new 2011 diary. wohoo - goodbye disorganisation, it was bad enough having you around for a few days.
