Week 31 Filofax Setup

hey everyone...  it has been a while since I posted here... summer is finally in full swing at my house...  if it wasn't for my Filofax, I wouldn't know if I was coming or going...  I always think I have time to relax in the summer, but who am I kidding...  the kids are always running somewhere and the sports are never ending...  it seems like every sport goes all year round...  what happened to seasons...  football in the fall, basketball in the winter and lacrosse in the spring...  not anymore...  football starts the Friday before my little guys' last lacrosse tournament...  well enough of my ranting... now onto my Filofax goodness...

before I get to my current week's setup,  I just have to say that I am soooo in love with my personal sized malden!!!  it has to be my favorite Filofax yet...  I carry everything in my Filofax and I am still able to close it easily with one hand...  to me that is the test of a good Filofax... now I also want to just throw out there that I just ordered my first A5- sized Filofax...  it just shipped today... I have been going back and forth on getting an A5, so I just went for it...  as soon as it comes I will do a review for you...  FINALLY onto this week's setup...

I went with a GREEN theme...  I purchased a 2-pack of washi tape from Michael's... it was cute that I just had to use it immediately...  I ordered that cute little sticker from ebay...  it was in a 6 pack on Korean diary stickers... here is a look at how busy last week was...

 

 

and a look at my week 30 from my pocket chameleon...

 

I hope you enjoyed catching up with me...  i'm am trying to make an effort to be more timely with my blog posts... until next time...

Comparing Finsbury to Chameleon Pocket-sized Filofaxes

hey everyone... it has been a few days since I have moved into my pocket chameleon from my pocket Finsbury Filofax...  there are a few things that stood out to me about how different they are... each have their good points and then their o.k. points...  neither has an issue that would stop me for using or buying the filos, but I just want to throw it out there...  I posted a video on YouTube going through both the Finsbury and the chameleon... You should check out our channel... it is Teamfilofax719...  now onto the comparison...

here they are side by side...the Finsbury is the black binder and the raspberry on the right is the chameleon... both styles in this size are flexible...  I happen to love the raspberry color of the chameleon, but I am sooo on a raspberry kick right now...  Now onto the inside...

the inside of the filos have a few differences... The Finsbury has 2 pockets and a 3rd which is mesh... he chameleon has 5 pockets... The entire inside of the chameleon is leather and themfinsbury has some fabric behind the pockets... Both have a deep pockets running vertically behind the card slot pockets... now onto the back...

both filos also have a zippered pocket the entire back cover... there is a tiny difference between. both  the models... The chameleon has a covered zipper, while the finsbury's zipper is out in the open...  Both pockets are flexible and easy to get into... now all of the differences that I have listed so far would not make me decide not to get either of the binders... My next difference might not be so tough to overlook...

now that brings me to the ring  size... I was very surprised at how small the rings were in the chameleon Filofax than in the Finsbury... the chameleon rings were the same size that the mini chameleon has... I had to remove some sections out of the chameleon in order for me to be able to turn pages with out ripping them...  I'm still using it for now... I'm waiting to see how long it takes me before I move back into the Finsbury...

well, I hope you liked this overview of both pocket sized Filofaxes... This is just my opinions on each of these Filofaxes and what seemstomwork well for me... I hope you find it useful...  I off to bed now... We are heading into new York City tomorrow to visit the Flofax section of Sam Flax... hopefully we do not do too much damaged to my pocketbook, but who am I kidding... Of course we will...  Have a great night...  See you soon...

Decorating my Filofax - Week #29

Hey everyone -  just here to show you the decoration for week # 29.  I can't believe how fast this year is going.  We are already 1/2 way through July and it still feels like I'm in May!!!  I spent most of the day catching up on my Project Life (with the help of my Filofax, of course).  If it wasn't for my Filofax, I would be hopelessly behind!!  At least I'm caught up to week #26!!  Now enough of that!!  Now back to the Filofax stuff!!  Here are my decorated pages... See you soon!!!

Thanks,

Another New Filofax

hey everyone... just here to show you my new filofax!!!  I am soooo excited...  on sunday night I was looking though the pens and leather website... www.pensandleather.com.  I came across a Raspberry Saffiano Personal sized filofax... There was only 1 left, so I pulled out the credit card and ordered...  What else is a girl to do???  Now fast forward to Thursday,  my mailman brought me a little present... My new Filofax arrived... I wanted to do an unboxing or bagging in my case... I had to wait to do a video until this morning...fast forward to this morning... I finally did my unboxing video... I was very happy and pleasantly surprised with the color of the binder...  It does have a two-tone thing going on... the outer portion of the binder is a more purpley color than the fabric lining on the inside of the binder... I'm ok with that... here is a photo of how pretty she is...

my latest edition to my growing filofax family...

hey everyone... it has been a while since I blogged on here... this is the busiest time for my family... my 2 sons play on travel lacrosse teams and when I say travel, I mean travel... we will be in 3 different states every weekend...  my daughter is in lacrosse camp for the month of july... she is also camping with her girl scout troop in july as well...  all I can say is, thank goodness for my Filofax!!!  I would not know if I was coming or going without it...

this weekend (in between lacrosse games) I managed to find a store about 40 mins away from me that carries Filofaxes...  I called ahead to see what personal filo's they happened to have in stock.  she said a black and a purple-pink one... I asked to hold the purple-pink one and rushed there not caring what type of filo that it was...  when I arrived at the writing place (which is the name of the store)  I was super excited to see that the purple-pink filo was actually a raspberry metropol!!!  just the day before I was searching the internet for that same Filofax...  the Filofax Gods were smiling down on us, because we also found a pocket-size mode for my daughter...  it was aqua and raspberry and the cutest little filo I had ever seen!   we walked out of there with 2 filos that cost $70 usd...  this was one of the best days Filofax shopping that we have had!!!   we will be posting reviews of the latest editions to our growing collection.... here is a little sneak peek at them!!! 

see you soon!!!
