Does it fit the bag and would I realistically want to carry it around?<br /><br />I would also consider the organizers ability to lie flat and the number of pen loops. <br /><br />What industry is he in? In some businesses like banking only simple black may be acceptable, in others like Love, me.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08270581013865090877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-71645149001002362062011-09-28T07:46:32.428-04:002011-09-28T07:46:32.428-04:00There´s another "how to make your own divider...There´s another "how to make your own dividers" post.<br /><br />http://thelifeoftheperpetualstudent.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-new-diy-dividers.html<br /><br />(for even more colour you also just chance you pen for a few days. or switch between several colours, each one for one day. you have to choose carefully for not loosing the "reputation" point.<br /><br />and you also can NinaRaffaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599369890336671004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-78931078310843996282011-09-28T07:32:03.311-04:002011-09-28T07:32:03.311-04:00@girlinmaths

One option is to use color on your tabs (I use the colored sticky tape flags and trim to fit). Or, you could put in some cool graphic-design tabbed dividers, there have been lots of photos in people's blogs in the past couple of months of diy tabbed dividers that look really cool.

Welcome..
In response to your quest...@FirstTimer. Welcome.. <br /><br />In response to your question. I think you might like to look at may be the Malden, or the Holborn models. Then you need to consider what size. A5 gives you lots of space, but can become quite bulky to carry around. Or may be a personal size which is a good compromise. <br /><br />Others that might be suitable are the Kendal, and the Cuban. <br /><br />Go for oneSteve Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062727836545335187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-10025457133600198572011-09-27T05:41:03.111-04:002011-09-27T05:41:03.111-04:00@Nia - remember and contact me when you decide to ...@Nia - remember and contact me when you decide to sell your Personal Rose Finchley! :) And enjoy your Amazona, aren't they something?...Vanjillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259485957251975368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-11830369754526429592011-09-27T05:34:19.360-04:002011-09-27T05:34:19.360-04:00This will probably seem like a really silly questi...This will probably seem like a really silly question but I am a filofax virgin and was recommended this site to ask my question!<br /><br />I need some advice about which filofax to buy so I am guessing some of you will have an opinion!<br /><br />I am looking to buy my partner a Filofax for Christmas.
