Look what I have just found!

OK I am still unpacking... but I had boxed all of my Filofax things in to one box, that was well labelled and I found it easily the other day.

Then this afternoon I was unpacking yet another box....I'm sure someone is repacking them at the other end of the house! And I found a 1980's DIY index, still in it's plastic wrapper, still sealed with the price tag on it. As you can see I didn't even want to open it to scan it!

I can remember buying quite a few of these for a project I did for a friend of mine, this must be one of the left overs!

She was using a Filofax binder (bought empty I presume) to create a training manual and she got me to create the pages for the manual by printing on to Filofax fan fold paper... I still have some of that too... but no printer that will take it these days!

The section index had our own lettering on it that spelt out PARTNERS on it, but I forget what it stood for, it's a long time ago now!

I know you can get similar blank indexes these days but you actually cut the tabs to your own length and then stuck them on with these old ones. 

Anyway click on the picture and see something from yesterday year!

Traveling Filofax

This weekend I am going to Croatia for a few days, which I am very excited about!  Has anyone been?  I've heard it's cool.

But, you know what that means for me: Travel = Planner Crisis.  You would think I'd have this figured out by now!!

To my credit, often when I travel it's to Scotland, and I do have a designated Filofax just for traveling to Scotland (which works great for me and I love it).

But my current situation is this: I don't want to bring my A5 Domino on this trip.  I have tons of work stuff in it that I don't need or want to bring with me.

I'm only going to be there for a few days, but there is certain information that I need to have with me: emergency and medical info, contacts, travel reference info and numbers, etc.

So, I've decided to turn my purple personal size Finsbury into my Travel Filofax for non-Scotland travel.  And, what a great opportunity to try out the Travel Journal Lifestyle Pack that was very generously given to me as a sample by Brigitte at Filofax in London!  You can expect to see my review soon after I get back!

I know there are some Philofaxy readers that have a designated Filofax specifically for travel.  Tell us about your Travel Filofax!  What do you keep in it?  What are your pages and sections? Do you use the Travel Journal insert?  Give me ideas and suggestions for mine please!  :D

Free For All Friday No. 81

Philofaxy mentioned in branding article!

Our blog was mentioned in this article about the Filofax brand and its enormous appeal.  Cool!

Erin's new Aqua Finsbury

Erin very kindly emailed me some photos of her new aqua Finsbury that her husband gave her as a gift!  Lucky lady!! 

I saw this new Finsbury color while I was at the Filofax shop in London.  It is gorgeous, I love how saturated the color looks.

I think this color will be very popular this year!  And, as with all colored Filofax models, if you like it you should get it quickly because you can bet it's being produced this year only!
