This week Im in my new vintage pink Malden

Thought I would post my current personal Filofax that's in use. Im so pleased with this Filofax and the leather is so soft. Also I was in Staples today and came across this calculator. It can fit into any size binders with multi-fit rings. Im not too keen on my Filofax calculator although it's much thinner than the staples brand. If you want a good binder calculator get the Staples one. ;-)

New Filofax Delivery & shopping haul

Today I was really thrilled to see my ebay parcel had arrived. I had bought a vintage pink Malden about 2 weeks ago on Ebay for...wait for it...dun...dun...dunnn *drum roll* £40!!!! It was brand spanking new, the best rings I had ever seen! I am sooo happy with this Filofax :-)

Anyway today I had also bought some stationary at Paperchase with the stickers you see, the magnet page clips and washi tape. The hello kitty mini pad, woodland animal pad and heart sticky notes I got from Wilkinson's. Heres some pics :-)

My bag matches my Filofax :D

Someone told me today that my Filofax matched my bag! I honestly hadnt noticed until they had mentioned it. Its such a shame that I dont take my a5 out with me.

I also went shopping today and was shocked to find some pretty neat stationary Items in Sainsbury's. They have a new beach range out. Here's some pictures. :-)

Oh, and the last picture is of my ever growing Deco tape collection.

Two New A5 Members of my Filofax Family

Really happy today as I discovered last night that I had won a King Fisher Blue Metropol in the Organised Heaven competition! YAYY!! Also well done to all the other winners!

Today at work my lovely Filofax parcels had arrived! Here are the pictures of two new members of the family! The A5 Finsbury and the A5 Osterley. Also some small packages that arrived including the famous Muji stamp. :-)))

Decorating my pages for Monday & Tuesday!

Thought I would show you a few pictures of how I decorated Monday and Tuesday's day-on-a-page. I would definitely recommend using good quality rubber stamps. You can get a great selection at Hobbycraft and good quality too! http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/papercraft/stamping-and-embossing/rubber-stamps

The thing about using rubber stamps is that unless you are not using a really harsh black ink or dark red for instance, it creates a really subtle but decorative effect. With certain pens, once the ink is dry, you can even write over it! Plus, rubber stamps never run out, unlike stickers or washi tape!

Here's my decorative Filofax pages for Monday & Tuesday, let me know what you think! :))


Both ink and stamps are from Hobbycraft.

Artbox Haul


Today hasn't been that great for me. I was looking forward to opening all my packages today as my mum brought home the mail. I had previously ordered a custom stamp on Amazon, which you could change the letters. I opened the parcel and just found two sheets of paper, one being the invoice slip and the other being a warranty form :-( I did send an angry email to them. Not a happy bunny at the mo!

Anyway, I still got the rest of the stuff I had ordered and I must say Artbox are excellent with delivery time, really impressed with their service!

Here is some pictures of what I had ordered! :-)


Here's some washi tape stickers I had ordered from Amazon which I LOVE!



I was a bit disappointed when trying out my Hello Kitty 'ok' stamp. I noticed if I dont press on it too much it comes out 'ok' :-)

Other random pics I took with my new camera, which I hardly use :-( 

The pens I use are mostly Frixion/Le Pens & Coleto with five colours.

This week's Filofax and setup

Hello Filofax stationary lovers, I havent blogged or posted anything for a while, so I really need to up my game and post more! 
I would just like to let you know I am waiting on quite a few packages this week whoop whoop! One being the Osterley in a5 (orange) and the other, Finsbury in a5! Im very excited and have ordered a few more other things such as stickers and a Muji stamp. I was really happy yesterday as I stumbled upon this lovely pink a5 Finsbury. Filofax were having a 50% sale so I had to get this little beauty worth £55 BARGAIN! Considering that the original price was £79 :-)
You Jung Byu

 Ok enough babbling of my new purchases and onto the pictures! This month I will be using the Osterley in plum (personal size) and hopefully when I get my two new A5 planners I will choose between them. As you can see I am a big sticker fan. I also love Kawaii, so I added a little Rilakkuma squishy.

I use the month on two pages to quickly view when I am at work and when I am off. It also shows me when I'm due to be paid!




The pen I use to the left of my Filofax is the 'Takeout' range by Paperchase. The design includes takeout foods such as chips, burgers and all things naughty but yummy!
This is the layout of my page for this week, I've used greens/yellows and turquoise. I get a lot of these creative idea's of using themes and washi tape stickers from ApurpleLife.
