This is my very first blog post!  I'm so excited to share my love of Filofaxes and cute stationery with you!  I plan on posting lots of photos of my set-ups and fun weekly diary pages!  Thank you so much for joining me!

I am currently using my Personal Grey Osterley. It is an absolutely beautiful planner!  It holds a LOT of stuff and looks so elegant at the same time! Please view the video of the inside of my planner on Youtube HERE.  The link is also on the right side of this blog.

In the card slots above, I have:
  • Blue and green Avery tabs from Staples
  • Post-It brand sticky arrows from Target
  • Parakeet page tabs from Jetpens.com
  • Elephant page-marker by Re-Marks from Amazon.com
On the cover page, I used:
  • Giraffe sticky notes from Jetpens.com
  • Inspirational note card from Michael's
  • Blue dot card stock from Michael's
 
    Here's a great shot of the cover.  So far, it is holding up well with minimal signs of wear.  It is well worth the money!

    Pink & Blue Personal Finsbury

    These two just might be my favorite Filofaxes of all time!  I am so in love with their beautiful color, design, and simplicity.  I must also admit that they almost always match my diary pages.  Yes, I usually try to coordinate the two.  It's the little things that make me happy! :)  They wear very well and are not easily scratched.  Love them!

     

    It has six card slots and one full-length pocket on the left-hand side.  It also has a darker pink fabric lining.  A full-length zippered pocket is located on the right-hand side.  As you can see, it doesn't lay completely flat...good thing it's cute!  However, with the inserts, it does flatten down a bit more.


    Here is what the pink finsbury looks like with my diary pages located in the middle of the binder.  So cute and fun!


    The blue personal finsbury is stunning!  I love these cute little heart paper clips from jetpens.com.  They fit nicely in one of the card slots.


    This is my set-up with an elephant theme!  The stickers came from Target and Etsy.


    See how well this orange and blue theme coordinates?  LOL!
    If you're thinking about purchasing one of these (or both), I would say go for it!

    Pilot Frixion Marker Review

    I absolutely LOVE the Pilot Frixion Erasable Pens so I thought it would be fun to give the Erasable Markers a try.  First of all, when any marker claims to be erasable, I can't help but be skeptical.  But, these are actually AWESOME!  They are available in all types of amazing colors.  I ordered the ones above (from top to bottom):  blue, pink, soft green, light blue, green, and black...from Jetpens.com.


    They write smoothly and erase nicely.  All of the colors I purchased show up very well on the Filofax "To Do" list page...although the Soft Green is a little light.


    This is the back of the same page laying flat.  You can't see any bleeding through here.


    If you hold the page up, you will be able to see the writing on the other side.  However, the ink does not bleed through.  I highly recommend these markers!  They work great in my Filofax and add just the right amount of extra color when needed.  I love them!

    This has been a busy week so far!  I LOVE Summer Break!  My 3-year-old son started swimming lessons for the very first time and is doing so well.  He is already jumping in and looks so cute in his little blue goggles.  I can't wait for him to be able to swim on his own like his two older sisters...then I will finally be able to relax at the pool!  We've also been to the movies, park, Barnes & Noble, and the eye doctor.  If you add in all of the loads of laundry I've done, I'd say a relaxing weekend is in order!  Hope you have one, too!


    Here are the items I used to create my week:

    *  apple tree sticky note (Mochithings)
    *  "remember this" sticky note (Target)
    *  animal stickers (Target)
    *  monkey magnetic page clips (Amazon-Plush Puppy to Go)
    *  frog sticky note (Yozocraft)
    *  black frixion ball slim pen (Jetpens)
    *  happy thoughts notecard (Michael's)
    *  green post-it note (Staples)
    *  monkey sticky note (Girl of All Work)
    *  elephant bookmark (Amazon-Plush Puppy to Go)
    *  polka-dot washi tape (Michael's)

    The little frog tab on my flyleaf (in the My Week shot) was created using an Avery tab from Staples and a frog sticky tab from Mochithings.


    This week, I'm currently using my Personal Cuban in Chestnut.  Love the color and smooth texture of this binder.  It's getting me by until my Personal Ochre Malden gets here.  Can't wait!

    Thank you so much for stopping by!

    This is the cutest little light blue case and it's perfect for stashing a lot of my on-the-go Filofax supplies.  It's a Cosmos Multi-Purpose Case from Amazon for only $7.99!  I originally saw this on Instagram...@ddrabmama and @craftymommy24cs both posted pictures of it.  For that price, I had to give it a try.  I really like all of the pockets it has and it fits nicely in my bag.  It holds so much and even has a zippered pocket on the right-hand side, for extra storage.  The entire case also zips closed.


    So adorable and perfect for Filofax fans!  Its dimensions are:  9.5" x 5.5" x 0.2".

    This week was all about getting ready to go on Vacation!  We are beach bound and I've been busy doing loads and loads of laundry, packing, finding pails and shovels, holding the mail, etc.  Can't wait to relax with my family for a few days, enjoy the sand between my toes, and celebrate Father's Day!

    Here is a list of the supplies I used to create this fun week:

    *  pink chevron washi tape:  Michael's
    *  stickers:  all from a Hello Kitty sticker book from Michael's

    This week, I moved into my Personal Blue Apex.  I decided to have some fun with a blue, yellow, and cute monkey/bear theme.  After a busy four day vacation at the beach, it's now back to reality.  This means lots of laundry again!  Ugh!  I'm also preparing for my son's 4th Birthday this weekend.  I still have a few last minute items to buy.

      Without a Filofax, I would be so lost.  It's amazing how mind-clearing it is to simply write things down.  I'm definitely a planner and seeing things written in my calendar really appeals to my visual/creative side.  You just don't get the same effect using a smart phone or computer.


    Here are the supplies I used to create My Week:

    *  Yellow Mark-It Dots:  Amazon
    *  Yellow square sticky notes:  Target
    *  Monkey magnetic page clip:  Barnes & Noble
    *  Birthday stickers:  Target
    *  Black Frixion Slim Pen .38:  Jetpens
    *  #dreambig Post-It notes:  Target
    *  Monkey sticky notes:  Girl of All Work
    *  Blue polka dot washi tape:  Michael's
    *  Yellow Post-It sticky flags:  Target
    *  Yellow flower hole protectors:  Etsy (School Locker)
    *  Rilakkuma sticky notes:  Amazon
    * Heart stickers:  Creative Memories
    *  Monkey & banana stickers (pictured in Filofax):  local scrapbook store
    *  Monkey clip (pictured in Filofax):  Barnes & Noble
    *Take Note (in Filofax):  free printable from Pinterest
    * Yellow polka dot card (in Filofax):  Michael's

    I'm really liking the Blue Apex.  It's fun, lightweight, colorful, and perfect for summer!  It lays completely flat with inserts, too!  My cute little Rilakkuma clip looks right at home next to Mr. Monkey!  Love these two together!  Hope you have a fun day and thanks for stopping by!
