Another month, another daily photo challenge featuring my Filofax Finsbury planner. Take a peek and see what you think about my little ray of sunshine!
1 | Cover
Typically, I would go with an understated, classic brown for a planner. But, when I saw the yellow Filofax Finsbury, I just had to have it. Originally, I purchased the Pocket size for 60% off and needed more room...hence the Personal size and it is perfect.

2 | Where I Plan
On this day in October, it was still nice enough to sit on the much porch after picking up the girls from school. Oreo's and milk and a little planning, too!

3 | Orange
Using a free download I designed, I added my Halloween countdown calendar to the front and fancied it up with a bit of washi tape.
4 | Dividers
Made my own top tab dividers with clearance priced plastic side dividers and trimmed to size. The yellow washi tape hides that the dividers are pink.
5 | Planner Case
I don't use a planner case. At home she's on my desk. On the go she's in my purse.
6 | Around Town
We were hoping to finish up the house painting and had plans to be "around home" all day.
7 | DIY
How I keep track of my deal site coupon codes. For Filofax Personal size, trim your paper to 6.75" tall and 7" wide. From the left edge, where you would punch your holes, score and fold at 3.75". You should now have a flap to fold over and hide all the messy notes. A permanent Sharpie marker will write, without smudging, on washi tape.
8 | Festive
Made a divider out of Christmas cardstock to hide our plans for our Advent Calendar. I used graph paper and outlined a square before the activity so I could fill in the date in pencil as I decide which day has which activity or holiday event.
9 | Dashboard
I don't like to see sticky notes when I open my planner, so this is the third page back. Made from the leftover plastic that I made my Dividers with on Day 4.
10 | Menu Planning
A free download I designed so that I could finally get on board with a meal plan. Prints on one page, fold in the middle and punch holes.
11 | Bookmark
Just a simple paper clip to hold together my past weeks and point me in the right direction.
12 | Cleaning Schedule
No schedule here, just do it as it needs it.
13 | Holiday Planning
14 | In My Bag
In town running errands with my two favorites...Coach and Filofax. It was key for me that the Personal size fit into even my smallest purse.
15 | Planner Collection
Small, but mighty. The Pocket size I initially purchased sits patiently next to her big sister.
16 | Checklist
Getting it done and checking it off my to do list today. I draw circles next to the task and when it's complete color it in. If it's in progress, I draw only half the circle in and move it forward to another day.
17 | Spooky
Googly eyes that were left over from our Halloween goody bag project.
18 | Creative
19 | With My Drink
20 | Pretty in Pink
My dividers are pink, a DIY project, but I covered them with yellow washi tape to coordinate with my Finsbury better.
21 | Pen Loop
Although I use a pen to write my lists, I keep a pencil in the pen loop and use it most often.
22 | Washi in Use
Made a bottom tab divider today for my 2014 calendars and it was lonely without a little washi, this time blue.
23 | In Your Car
Car pick-up lines and planners just seem to go hand-in-hand. A few minutes here and a few minutes there do make a difference.
24 | Where It Lives
On my nightstand. In my purse. In the car. Next to me while I create and work.

25 | Quote
...and a reminder for me to see. It's a free printable and it's sized for Personal, Pocket and also as a 4x6 to display in a frame if you wish.
26 | Stickers
I don't use stickers in my Filofax, but a chevron heart on my third baby's upcoming birthday is perfect.
27 | Birthday
Today is my Dad's birthday.
28 | Supplies
Using the business card sleeve for on-the--road Post-It note supplies.
29 | Polka Dots
I ripped out my registration page by mistake, so I reinforced it with some polka dot washi tape, of course.
30 | Favorite Pen
Love it because it writes super fine. Love it because it has a thin barrel. Love it because it doesn't bleed through the page. And it's erasable. Good thing I accidentally ordered a box instead of just one, Gordon and the girls love it, too. Now if it just had a clip.

Happy Boo to You!
I love it all!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I just realized what I commented is the name of your blog. Opps. I seriously do love every single picture though :) Makes me want to get a little more organized.
ReplyDeleteI love every aspect of it including the content (make hot chocolate, write letters to Santa, hugs photo...). You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAh! So many fantastic ideas here! I just started using a paper organizer again (I have a DayMInder from 2002) and I'm getting it ready for 2014. Thanks for sharing.
