Raspberry Finsbury!

I have a new raspberry Finsbury A5 filofax :-D 

I use this filo for keeping track of all my online blogs , websites , Etsy shops and anything else I need to update on a regular basis plus a gallery log of ideas to paint , inspirations and competitions . 

I have a thing about the stitching .

Details details :-) They make me happy . I love the fabric inside with filofax on it and I love that its engraved on the ring support too . 

I have a world map and a time zone map in it . LOADS of cream lined paper , finances , to do etc but no calendar in this as i keep my work calendar as a year to view in my A4 . 

It came with a cream A-Z . I have always wanted one of those ! This is a filofax I won from ebay , it had a torn pen  loop but a bit of superglue fixed that and its fab ! 

It has loads of credit card pockets which clearly should be renamed stationary pockets . I love those martha stewart stickers ! I also remembered to put some of my business cards in it . 

Setting it up with my studio page . Each tag relates to a blog or Etsy shop etc . 

I love how the pink bits in the map match the deep raspberry cover . Its all in the little things . 

Not to be left out , my retro bloom personal filo has a new week in it . With plenty of raspberry to match its new workmate :-D 

Filofax Classic Italian leather chocolate A4!

My new Filofax Classic  chocolate italian leather A4 ! 

A total Ebay bargain . Hardly used and smells absolutely divine . Its perfect for all my art project work and I have a year planner in it too to keep all my artist activities /demonstrating,exhibitions etc organised . Although I have all the dates in my Retro bloom personal filofax its nice to see all my  artist related work in one place so I can see my timings . 

It just so happens that this came at the perfect time . I just recovered from the HORRID dizzy virus and I was asked to submit an application for an artist residency . It's a complete pleasure to plan for it in this . 

I adore the stitching details in it , it feels very secure and classy and the colour is fab . 

It has a full length today marker plus cream dividers . I have an A4 hole punch so I can add in whatever pages I like to this plus plastic sheets to hold loose pages which is a complete bonus . 

I Love the cream A-Z too .

My A4 is purely business so I wont be customising it . It is business as usual though in the retro bloom personal filofax . Here is my next week set up . 

I love using the 3D butterfly stickers . They simply squash flat when I close the pages . I have never been so organised ad I am loving it . no more missing or forgetting things . Using filofaxes is really working for me . I have been collecting from Ebay , only small purchases but I have fun uses for them all :-)  

I am decorating with some of the cheaper tapes I found , this one was from The Range . Its not quite washi and it does pull up the paper a bit if you reposition it but i found as long as I am careful using it then its perfectly ok . Lovely patterns and colours . I am still using the removable task post its . Moving anything not finished onto the next week takes a lot of worry away  . I know I havn't forgotten anything and that helps me to sleep . Which is great because my boy is being assessed now for autism . This will be a fun ride but it explains an awful lot ! 

Sunshine ! Makes my whole day feel brighter .
