Personal Chameleon - the unemployed,part 1 ;o)


I always wanted an aqua colored Chameleon.
This was the first Chameleon in my collection - but it is still unemployed.
Finally I made some deviders,so I can move into that pretty binder,whenever I want :o)


The colour is soooo beautiful ... and by the way : No discoloration :o))
The sections are still "un-named"....
The deviders are made from the same paperpad that I used for my Malden...

Selfmade marker....

I really like that the penloop is NOT in the way ;o)
Isn`t it a beauty???

Another pocket : Dickie Malden :o)

This is the pocket Malden that I was reeeally longing for.
I already own a pocket-Malden in grey - but I don`t like the leather-finish.
The ochre pocket Malden is gorgeous!It lay flat,out of the box :o)
I ordered a smoother finish - but the inside is quite unique ;o)

 Lovely front ....

 Stuffed up ... :o)


 And soooooooooo flat .....
 It keeps the calendar,my "to-do-list",shopping-list and adresses ....

 Personal and pocket Malden cheek to cheek ....
 Ha!I should call him "Dickie" ;o))

 side by side ....

A perfect match!!!

The Personal Aston in orchid colour :o)

Since month I am trying to get happy with the personal size,instead of the A5 size...
I never believed it would be easy...but...it is harder than I ever thought ;o))
Why?
Because I am missing space.
Because every binder that I tried has something that I won`t get familiar with :o%
Hmmm...I thought it might be a good idea to try...to change...to switch...to get colourful instead of spacy ;o)
So,I tried the Aston in Personal size :








The Aston has a very soft leather...
Since I use my Personal Malden for my job,I miss that special pocket!My Malden keeps 2 Frixion-pens inside the zip-pocket,and a ballpen in the penloop....









The pink stiching is very pretty and I love the colour!






This is what I am always talking about :
The A5 Prescriptions/recipes of my Patients,for the Physiotherapy,that I have to carry around with me (not just one...)



In this pocket they get easily damaged...


My perfect system - I have another vertical calendar/business-range for the Personal size,that ömmmmm....ja....is still in my purple Malden ;o)
My absolut perfect system is the vertical/A5!




A real nice,flexible pocket!



A beautiful binder  :o)

Personal Adelphi 12 EUR :o))

Sometimes...there`s magic in the air...
I never,never longed for any Adelphi.I watched Ebay...and there was this damson Adelphi.Only 40 seconds left...and still 10,20 EUR! ... I. GOT.WEAK - and placed my bid at the last 5 seconds :o))BAAAAANG!!!
Now I own an Adelphi,personal size in damson!
Hmmmm.I guess the seller did a bit of gymnastik : Trying to bite herself in the butt :o))
2 days later it arrived!And it is almost brandnew!!
My first thought : Ok,I`ll do a little photo-session with that one,then I`ll sell it again.But...I like it!!
The leather is nice&soft,it has wonderful pockets!
For this Photosession I put in the deviders,that I made for my purple Malden (which I was still waiting for,when I took these photos)

This is not just a pocket,there are also creditcard-slots hidden (forgot taking a pic with opened pocket...),so they stay well protected inside :o)







I never thought,this binder would feel so soft!!!

The Adelphi will get its own deviders soon :o)

Update: The deviders moved into the purple Malden,the Adelphi got some deviders that I first made for the Holborn - and now the Adelphi sleeps in my car!I have to write down the Kilometers I drive every day and it keeps some things that I need for my job :o)

Beautiful Baroque :o))

 In some blogs I saw pictures of the Baroque,read about its smooooth and floppy leather...so,I started dreaming of a Baroque...but in what size?
I saw this one on Ebay,contacted the seller,to make me a price...it was a really good price :o))
 Yes,it is the pocketsize ;o) Hard enough,to get one in pocketsize...in personal size it is even harder....
 From my latest scrapbookpaper-haul I made some beautiful deviders...........
 The first has a pocket....then comes my calendar-section...............
 followed by the "to-do-section" ..................................
 And -very important to me - the shopping-list!!!
 An unnamed section ............. :o))
 And my "dit un dat" - section ;o)
The adress/telephone-list
 The zipped pocket holds my coins......
 There`s another pocket under the zipped pocket...+one more underneath this (for cash)
 It holds the nice pen,while my pocket Chameleon is sleeping on the shelf :o)
What a beautiful,yummi little thing!!!!

Why do I collect Filofaxes?

Some people keep asking:"What?You are collecting Filofaxes?For what??"..
My answer:"Because they are a perfect planning-tool for me.And they are beautiful".
My Mom collected vintage coffeepots and nobody asked her"why"...a friend of my Mom is collecting Teddybears,her husband munition from the 2.world war - so what ;o)  ?
I am a single Mom of two little boys,and I am my own boss,as a Physiotherapist.There`s no chance collecting shoes ;o))
Before I started using Filofaxes for work,I tried different calendars in A5 size - but at the end it was pure chaos...I had to lay the recepies of my Patients between the calendar sheets - guess I don`t have to mention,what happend almost every day*Lol*
I used kind of a personal Filofax(another,cheaper brand)for a year,but it had just the week at a page insert,so I used it just for my personal appointments.
When I started working again,when my little boy was 1 year old,I absolutely wanted something that really fits my needs - and I was soooo lucky,when I achieved my first Filofax,the chocolate  A5 Finchley.
When my back/shoulder started to get uncomfortable with the weight of that binder,I started longing for a smaller one.I already wrote about it...BUT that`s where the flame of passion started to burn :o))
I wanted to try,to feel,to move...also different sizes...
On that way I found the Philofaxy blog,countless youtube videos - and I started having fun in my evenings,that I spend alone :o)) my own blog followed,and it is so much fun making photos and videos,writing a bit,making deviders...and watching Ebay*hehe*
Maybe one day I will start collecting shoes...when my boys are a little older and I hopefully don`t have to spent the evenings alone and go out dancing instead ;o)
