Filofax Pretties: Weeks 48 & 49

Filofax weeks seem to have taken a bit of a back burner. I've literally been busy all the time....although I do procrastinate a lot! I'm trying not to do that any more. I've had a very productive morning so far I'll have you know! So, here is this week and two weeks before!

Filofax Pretties: How Useful is a Monthly Planner?

I currently use a monthly planner and also a weekly planner. I know there are some people who find that using both renders one of them obsolete but I find it so handy to have both. I use my monthly planner to write down plans that are happening well into the future and to keep track of birthdays and special dates. I also get my work hours for the month so it's nice to have them written down in one place where I can just look at it in one go. Hence why it's called month at a glance!

I almost never write anything directly on the page. There's this wonderful thing called washi tape and it's re-positionable so if a plan changes I can just lift it up and move it to where it needs to be. If a shift at work gets changed, I can just peel it off, chuck it in the bin and write a new one. It's so much nicer than crossing things out or using correction tape. It makes my heart happy because everything looks so much neater.

 It's also cool because you can do so much lovely colour coordinating and who doesn't love that. I love my monthly planner probably more than my weeklies because it lets me see into the future. Don't give up on monthly planners, just learn to love them!

Filofax Pretties: Using HEMA for Week 32 + SoJoey Inserts

This morning when I was thinking about decorating my Filofax, I had a thought that I didn't want to use my new things on Filofax pages. I wanted to use them on my pages. I haven't made personal pages for myself so I quickly rustled these up and printed them and then got to work! I really like my own pages so I should probably do some more for the following weeks! The only thing that sways me to do my own pages is the quality of the paper. I can't deal with not being able to use any pen on the Filofax paper. It drives me crazy! 

How nice is the washi!? I really like the text one! They're going to make my letters look extra special!

Filofax Pretties: Week 28 + New Washi

My decorating is back in full swing because I have new washi to motivate me. You know how it is!

Thank you Joe&Flo :D

This is my week in my Personal Aqua Saffiano. I don't have that much planned because since it's Ramadan, I spend a lot of my time not doing things. Instead I've been seeking spiritual enhancement. That and Laura is working on all the days that I'm not.

THIS ORANGE WASHI IS KILLING ME! It's so nice!
So nice, that I used it in my A5 too! And MERMAIDS!

There's nothing in here yet because I use my A5 as a reflective journal more so than a planner. My months are for planning, but my weeklies or for writing nonsense things that I've done or felt.

Filofax Pretties: Playing Catch Up

I haven't shown you guys my decor for weeks! I've been seriously lacking. To be perfectly honest,  time just ran away from me. Like where did June even go? I don't know what's happening!! So here is the week before last. I can't even show you last week because it was over before I even got the chance to decorate it. Fail on me.

I got given this beautiful Kirstie Allsop washi tape as a late birthday present and I adore it! It's safe to say that after I got it, I've been using it on everything!

Can you remember what I did on Thursday? I can't!

I remember now! I made pies ALL DAY LONG! I love pies as much as the next person, but they take forever to make and we made looooadddss.

The thing I like about having penpals, along with getting to know different people from all over the world, is that they send me beautiful washi samples that just brighten my day. Thank you wonderful people overseas!
