Fed up with Ebay and Making Inserts

Hello all :),
I am extremely tired of ebays 9.9% fees and the fact some buyers are dodgy. I have set up a shop on

http://goodsie.com/store/beauty-and-clothes

I have already put up filofaxes and cheap makeup but will be putting up stationary and more filofaxes soon.
Sorry to international peeps but at the moment I will posting to Australia only until things pick up. Unless you really love something and are prepared to pay for international postage.


Also I am in the process of making my own Filofax personal inserts.
I want an insert to keep track of what I am eating and drinking and so I will make a daily insert as I couldn't find anything online like it.

Also wanting to make a uni task list, I have four subjects so I want tasks divided into 4 sections for each one.

How I made my Personal Filofax dividers

Hello all,
I should clarify, I got the divider templates from My life all in one place Blog.
Then I found photos doing a simple google search of 'black and white pretty drawings'. I picked designs to my own taste then printed them on the divider template.
The tabs I picked to put my filofax were

• Important -user log ins, bus timetables, and anything else I will need.
• University -features 4 subject tabs, will put anything needed to remember.
• To do - basically to do notes and anything that comes to mind that I should complete.
• Ebay- Ebay, I sell and buy a lot, my tracking no stickers, to do check off lists to post items and what I have purchased will be kept here. Also I'm putting my blogging ideas and notes in here.
• Social- I see bands so often I lose track of what I'm going to and where & when it is. I have printed a month per day calendar for this section and will keep tabs on any social events I will attend.
• Writing-any ideas or notes that I need to write about on the go will be put here.

I hope that you like my dividers, I like putting my personality into my filofax.

So far at uni I have received many compliments on my filofax. 

Enjoy

PS. Stay tuned, I will try and create my own inserts to suit my needs then I will share for download here :). Im thinking maybe a daily food and drink tracker insert. 

 

How I styled my Filofax

Hello,
Another blog already :D.
I have already customized my filofax to my liking and wanted to share the results. Note I took out most of the given pages, as I found I would have no real use to them.

The pages I removed were the A to Z dividers, the 1 to 6 dividers,the starting intro pages, Jan to March diary pages, and the coloured note pages.
Whilst the filofax coloured sheets were pretty, there was only 2 of each colour, I would want more to make it worthwhile. I do like everything matching and wasn't prepared to purchase more filofax branded notes.
  The currencies and public holidays seem useful but realistically I would not that as a reference when I'm out and about, especially as I always have my smart phone handy.
And yes as you may of guessed pink is my favorite colour.

I tried to make the filofax as pretty as I could, with bright colours as I believe in colour therapy and besides its nice to look at. :)

Here is my new improved customized filofax.

 As you can see I haven't found use for the credit pockets yet, apart from holding stickies in the rear pocket.  I created a front page simply by printing out a colourful design and glueing it to cardboard enforce it.  

 I made a post it page and the perfume page is a cut out from a magazine. The glossy page will prove a good 'dashboard'page to stick 'to-do' notes plus the perfume sample smells gooood!

 Heres the side view,in my previous post I mentioned I would use the fluro avery note tabs to create dividers.  Which is what i did.

 Here is the rear view of the post it note page, I fastened the various post it note pages with double sided tape to secure the notes whilst in transit. As you can see I created a thin to do note slip. This is a handy way for me to use up the scrap paper I had left over from creating inserts. 

 My diary Just an example of how I have prettied up my filofax. The more stickers the better! 

 This is the yearly calendar sheet I printed off.Also I have purchased some tiny Korean diary stickers to use with this page, as the the individual dates are too compact to write much. I will use the stickers for key dates such as exams, holidays, exercise and so on. 

 The end of my filofax. I printed plenty of the to-do notes and they have already started being useful. I put pretty things in my plastic slip as well as important items such as my movie voucher.

 Just a bottom view, the bottom tabs are for the months.

Lastly the back view. I took out the filofax note pad as I can just put notes in the various sections in my filofax. I have used the rear space to keep sticky reminders. 

Im glad I didn't buy the A5, this personal size is perfect for my uni bag and it is so easy to print off inserts.

I have already planned out my notes and have started using it daily. Such a great purchase.:D

Thanks for looking and I hope I have given you some ideas of how you can customize your own organizer.
