My Custom Filofax + Giveaway
I’m a big planner- there’s nothing that I love more than a good list. I have a creative brain that’s not good with retaining specifics like times, dates, or things I need to get done so having a day planner is always important for me! Earlier in the year I posted two tutorials on making a custom day planner, after my cute little Filofax stopped working for me.
A few weeks after I posted my tutorials, I was contacted by the internet business director of Filofax USA, and she generously suggested that if I wanted to give a larger planner a try that they would send me one along with a kit of accessories. I was bowled over and so excited! After five months of use, my handmade planner is getting a little ragged so it’s the perfect time for me to switch over.
They sent me a beautiful, jewel toned Finsbury A5 personal organizer in Raspberry! I received it a little while ago and made some really cute customizations to make it all my own.
I made a custom inside cover that’s handmade and cheerful, with a detailled scalloped edge.
And added tabs with my label maker to help me track my spending, my days, addresses of friends and my important phone numbers.
But the best part?
I’m so excited to be able to share this with my readers- you guys are so incredibly generous with the time you take reading and commenting here every week, and thanks to Filofax’s generosity you can get organized for spring too!
We’re doing an exclusive give away of a pocket sized Domino personal organizer in Teal, with planner pages for 2011
You can enter from anywhere in the world– I’ll ship to Canada and the US with tracking for free, and will split the shipping with the winner if you live outside of North America. The giveaway will be open from Wednesday May 4 until Midnight on Saturday May 7 and the winner will be announced on Sunday May 8th.
There are five ways you can enter!
Leave your entries in the comments (in one or multiple comments, all will be counted) and I’ll draw the winner this Sunday. Good luck!

Last but not least, I have a banner to your blog on my blogroll page. It’s not exactly your button, but it’s a screen cap of your header that links to your blog. Does that count? The square just didn’t fit with my formatting theme!
I also follow you on twitter, and have for quite some time. :)
I LOVE this giveaway. The color is really pretty, and I’ve wanted to do something with your tutorials but haven’t had the time or inspiration. Needless to say, I’ve been completely unorganized all year!
