New Kent from Oz style page turner

I love having a big page turner in my filofax but the downside is that half of the week is covered by the page turner. When I saw THIS video from Kent from Oz I ran to my craft space and made one for myself. What a great thing! Here are some pictures of my page turner inspired by Kent from Oz.

Dublin Haul

Just before Christmas I went Christmas shopping with my mom, aunt and cousin in Dublin. I had a great time and bought too much lol. I went over with an almost empty suitcase, I only packed the necessary stuff but I still had to buy a new bag for half the stuff I bought. Mostly clothes but I also shopped for Filofaxes and stationary.


Never seen so many Filofaxes together! <3


Pink inserts!! Haven't seen those before, but didn't buy them.


50% off all Filofaxes at Paperchase, I couldn't let this beauty go!


All the stationary I bought at Paperchase, Muji and random card shops.


Filofaxes and inserts I bought. I saw the Malden, I love it on pictures but I hate the floppiness :( So will be trying to sell it. I'm using the Classic as wedding planner and the Finsbury has no use at the moment.

Secret Santa Swap

In the "Dutch Filofaxers" we organized a Secret Santa Swap. We agreed to open the packages at the 18th. I couldn't wait so I stayed up till 00:01. Desiree made a beautiful swap! Sit back and enjoy!











Dutch Filofaxers Facebook Group

Only nearly 2 months ago we (Desiree, Danielle, Nga-Yee and myself) started a Dutch Filofax group. The main reason was that most FB groups are mainly focused on people in the US, that's great of course but we missed the Dutch gezelligheid (there is no translation for this word (<--great website about Dutchies btw)). So we started a Dutch group.. the Dutch Filofaxers! We're almost 2 months old and we already have 67 members! RAKs are flying around and we're opening our Secret Santa Swap tomorrow :)

Because the Dutch group grew so quick and got so active we also opened a European Filofaxers group. The European group is even bigger but isn't very active yet, but when the holiday season is over we'll be pumping some energy into the group.
We're also planning a Filofax meeting in Brussels for next year! We'll be visiting the filofax distributor for the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg). How cool is that?!

If you're Dutch or European come join us!

I bet most American people understand me with their groups. It's nice to share our hobby with like minded people :)

Filofax The Purse

I was searching for a wallet type filofax were I can fit in money, my cards, car key, phone and notes. During one of my visits to my local Filofax supplier Hummelman that my ordered "The Purse" came in! I couldn't wait to pick it up. I ordered the Antique White, I was a bit afraid that it would be to white and you'd see everything on it. But when I first saw my The Purse I was in love, it was perfect!


I love that it has a beautiful star on it, plain wallet organizers are a bit to boring for me.


The back has a pocket, I often put my phone in here.


This is the inside. There is a lot of space for cards, still I need some morge card pocket sheets.
You can take out the dairy/planner part but I don't see the use of taking it out.


I only have some notepaper in here for grocery lists and quick notes.


The front 6 pockets: I keep my most used cards in here, bank cards, credit card, drivers license and my parking card (for parking garages)



Space for my car key (yes that's my car key! :) ), paper money, receipts and tickets.
There's also a pocket with zip for coins


From the other side: cards for grocery stores and swimming classes


I took the loose things out and here I keep my company stuff.


Stamps, cards and other stuff for shops.

I hope you enjoyed my post!

My pen pouch

I use a "Kipling 100 pens" there are several colors available (google it ;) ). It was a bit expensive but I'm very happy I paid the price because it's ideal for me! This pouch goes everywhere with me. Get ready for some picture overload.

The pouch

Cute hangers <3

My favorite pens which I always use.

Underneath the pens you have space for.. anything!

This is what I carry under the pens.

I love ziplock bags to keep everything together.

Pritt is my favorite glue, sticks very very well! And my favorite washi tape.

Washi tape samples I received through friends and swaps

Sticky notes

Papers and envelopes

Hole protectors and sticker sheets

From left to right: small lose stickers, paperclips and sticker flake bags. And a beautiful ruler which I have no use for .. yet but it's so pretty!!

My Week 49 - Alice in Wonderland

In the Dutch Filofaxers group on Facebook we're organizing a Secret Santa Swap (SSS)and for my swap I orders at different shops on Etsy and Modes4u. Of course I couldn't resist to order some thing for myself too ;)

When I received a package this week I couldn't resist to used the items right away. Well here is the result!


I'm not too fond of the washi-like tape that I used. The design is great but I hate that it's not real washi, it's mixture of washi/deco tape.


These stickers come from Modes4u, I love the style!

When week 48 is finished I'll show you a full view of my week.

My month: September

My Filofax Finsbury Vintage Pink arrived yesterday (photo's will follow)!! Because it had 2012 inserts I went to Philofaxy for some 2013 inserts. I choose 3 layout which I wanted to try.

A month on 2 pages plus notes - For work.
Enhanced TM Week Per View with Journal '5 line' - For my daily life.
Vertical Week Per View - To try out, but the week per view works great for me!

Below you see my monthly view which I use for work. I used washi tape to mark the vessels.



Now it's time to take over appointments and so from my old organizer to my FF :) And it's time to spice things up! I'll be having great FF evenings the next couple of days.

Facebook groups

I love reading facebook groups. I don't post often, I'll admit it I'm a lurker.. During my holiday in Ireland I posted a few postcards I bought there on the Postcrossing Facebook group. After 2 days I swapped with more than 30 people!! I even had to go back to the shop to buy more cards! Now I'm home and almost everyday I receive postcards from the people I swapped with.. what a great feeling!
