Month on 2 pages - Rainbow Design

I'm wayyyyyyy behind my blog post schedule, because, I've been working on these pages ^^

I love the rainbow and I think a calendar like this will brighten each day! Let's look into the inside...

There are "to-do" "monthly must-do" and "monthly quote".

I really love how it turns out, especially the grid background. And you can be creative with the blank spaces =)

Last but not least, a time to review 2014, and plan for 2015 yay~~

This is now available at charisliving @ etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/charisliving

It is really pretty and fun. Hope you will like them =)

And most importantly, I will be posting more regularly as I'm done with this design!

Alternative Leather Organizers

I'm so excited to have found some lovely leather organizers!!

I've always been looking for a light weight and compact leather organizer to act as a travel organizer. And yes! I mean to find cheaper (than Filofax) ones.

I've been using my Personal Jack Vintage, but it's still abit bulky to carry during my trips. I really need to keep it slim~~

And finally............ I found these!!

 

They are made of natural calf leather, the upper design has hard cover, while the lower one has REALLY soft cover.

 

They have small rings of 5/8" or 15mm. Similar to that of Filofax Compact size. And each of them comes with a set of blank note paper.

 

I will be sharing how I set it up as my travel organizer soon ^^

 

I shall be putting some of them up for sale. Hope you can enjoy it as much as I do!!

 

Happy Filofaxing!



My Work Planner - Compact Metropol

A week ago, I got a Compact Raspberry Metropol from Filofax UK.

Love at first sight!! And I start to understand all the craze about "Raspberry"!! it's really beautiful and really "compact"! haha if that makes sense!

It's the first time I own a Metropol and I'm very impressed by the simplicity and sleek design. There's nothing more or less than you need. It's totally functional and goes with everything.

As compared to my Pocket Aston, It's basically of the same width, abit taller, but thinner!! (Yes of coz, with the smaller rings... but i'm still excited about it ^^)

Then I set it up as a work Filo, and it's doing a  good job so far! it's been a week, and I totally can't imagine how i worked without it before!!!

Do you see the colors on the edges of my calendar? that's how I mark the months for easy access. Old tips, but just to mention and share =)

I'm using the WO2P that comes with it, and it's working great so far. But there are other layouts that I'd like to try out too. We'll see...

Last but not least... a matching pen!!! It's my all time favorite ball point pen. It's the UNI JETSTREAM 4&1. I have another one in Navy too ^^ and probably going back for a purple as it's on sale at a store near me!

Oh yes about this pen, it's super smooth to write with, and I find myself taking notes faster with this pen, great for school and meetings! Highly Recommend!

Thanks for reading~ Happy Filofaxing~~
