Am I going crazy??

Ok... I have finaly decided to make a blog post about this to get it out of my head once and for all (I think that's not gonna be possible LOL)... It does not make any sense to me when I think about it so maybe you readers can help me figure it out...

WHY I WANT AN A5 ORGANIZER??????

I had one a few months ago... I gave it to another beautiful and sweet lady to use it and I'm over flowing with personal size Filofaxes (I love them *-*) but for some extrange reason that I can't figure out... I want an A5 again...

The reason that this is so mind blowing for me it's that I gave my A5 Domino because I wasn't using it, it was too big to take out of the house and even with that knowledge in my head I want one... But I can't choose one and not another Domino because I already have one in personal so...

The other reason I can't stop thinking this is nuts... it's because my bank account it's been down and down... I don't have my mother's nose in my account all the time but when she finds out she will be really upset with me so I can't make another purchase at this moment in time... maybe later I can...

I have watched from Martha Stewart binders to Filofax, Daytimer, Dayrunner, Franklin Covey and all... I know I won't get one now but... I do have two A5 binders, one it's a 3 ring one and the other a 2 ring binder but I want another...

This is a case of wanting what you don't need? I don't even know how I will be using my A5... I don't journal, I use my personals changing from time to time into another... The A5 page looked so big to me... How I can fill that? But I still want one...

Darn! Am I going crazy??

Planners / Binders

Well... today I wanted to talk about binders... *sigh* Yes, I know we are all in love with planner binders and that's the reason behind this blog post...

I have to say I have only 4 kind of binders in my lifetime, if you take the normal ones that you use for school and stuff... Most of them you have seen here except for two: my zip binder (the only one that I have in that way) and my spare binder for my planner.

Most of you know this little guy. My first planner/binder... I found this at my aunt's apartment when she past away over a year ago and madly felt inlove with it because it was like a Filofax... and yes, by that time I was already looking at planner binders but discovert Filofax only a few months before this finding.

As you can see it's black and brown, wich I love and it shut's with a strap so it's ok and very secure, not with a clasp but I love the binder none the less. The rings are a little smaller for me but I guess that if I use it for work may be really enough to take notes and keep a calendar in there.

What I like about this binder? It's very soft to the touch and for what I have research it's leather so when you touch it it's smooth and fresh. It's padded so it's really nice to the touch. The pockets on the back are great for a wallet or something more. The strap that hold's it closed it's really nice and it won't slide out just because...

What I don't like about this binder? It has the zip pocket outside on the back of the planner and make's it more fat. The pattern on the front cover it's not my liking because of the mix of color.

This next binder does have a clasp and it's a nylon binder, the rings are almost like the Sketch from Filofax and as you can see, the model it's too. So... I found this in November, it has inside 12 credit card holders and A-Z address and phone tabs. I't was like 10$ so I got it and I use it to save my spare paper.

What I like about this binder? The ring size maybe for work. It's more slim than the other one. It has a clasp closure. The fabric it's not bad at all to be honest. The vinyl grey part it's soft and nice to the touch. I won't feel guilty if it's get stained or something.

What I don't like about this binder? That orange stripe along the cover, it's so out of place. Not so great pockets inside. The color of the fabric it's not my liking.

This two you all know *smiles* My two UltraViolet Domino's in personal and A5 that my lovely Jayne send to me in October/November of 2012.

What I like about this binder? They have an slastic band across so you can keep your planner closed. It's very soft and nice looking. The color it's gorgeous for me (If they made an Ultra Violet Metropol I will get it). The pockets are really usefull.

What I don't like about this binder? The tabs bend when you put a pen in the pen lop. I'm worry about the elastic getting to worn. It has bubbles on the back of the binder.

And last but not least my zip binder *smile* yes, it's a strawberry binder and yes it's not a planner, it's an A4 binder system with three rings and it's cute and brand new because since I got it a few years ago I haven't use it much.

What I like about this binder? The zip protects the pages of the binder. It lays flat. Really nice pockets inside. I think it's more usefull that it's fabric and not leather.

What I don't like about this binder? I don't be carefull it will fold some corner of the paper. The idea of zipped and unzipped the binder everytime I want to use it because I don't leave it unzipped. I don't like the color anymore.

So this is my post about my different kind of binders... *thinks* I should do this with my purses too... *denied with the head* Never mind... Tell me what you think about this? Do you have a favorite tipe of binder? How is it?

Stalker Mode 02

Hello again gorgeous people out there on the other side of the computer (n.n)

Ok, this is anothe one of my post of stalking on Ebay and adding Amazon to the list LOL

Starting with Ebay and this baby in personal size = the Filofax Tropic

The next in the list it's one that I would love to have and I would use my money if I didn't want the Aston more = the Filofax Finchley in black and Filofax Finchley in purple [tendency for the purple on this binder]

This beauties from the Filofax Website on Sale = the Filofax Dakota, Filofax Chameleon, Filofax Metropol in Orange

All of those in personal size, now the A5 that I was looking at for being the cheapest next to the Sketch that I don't want is... = the Filofax Apex and some may ask, why? Because I need something big that I don't be so worry about scratching and my Domino can get some scratch. I would go for the Apex in personal but I'm looking for something to use at work, A5 looks too big and personal sound perfect right now.

Leaving Filofax on the side and going to my next chance and more affortable for now it's Day Timer Croc in bouth sizes because they are on sale, one on Ebay and the other on Amazon.

And last but not least, the Franklin Covey it's a binder that I'm looking for a few days, not sure about it but it's nice looking, not so cheap but for working in accountancy like I will or in a bank I think it may work = Franklin Covey Compact Croco

This are some refills and stuff that I want and probably won't get also but like to look and just found and think are great price for this kind of things = Flavia Day Runner 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, Dodo Pad A5, Martha Stewart Craft Tape, Le Pen Set, Mt Slim Twist Cord Washi, Japanese Washi Tape Bundles, K&Company Washi Tape Like This, K&Company Washi Tape Calendar, Day Runner Zip Pouch, Papermate Inkjoy 8 Pack, 3 Fixion Pen, 8 Colour Uni-Ball Signo.

I can keep going all night long finding more stuff but this are the most interesting for me right now at this moment in time. Some of this I don't nee (most of it) but I like it and If I could I would get it LOL

Stalker Mode

Hello again (@_@)

I'm in a stalker mode, just looking on ebay for bargains and bids for gorgeous Filofax.

I did had my eyes on a personal size Blue Finsbury but it's already more than I can pay for it with the shipping added.

After I couldn't get my hands on the Finsbury I looked for a personal size Metropol in orange...

WHAT?! I know, it's rare for me to like that color but I wanted one so I looked and the prices were fine but the shipping cost was more than the binder itself so... I move on... I brown Metropol, the price it's sooooo low and with the shipping would be only 27 US Dollars, but I'm not convinced yet...

So I keep looking and I found myself a bargain in A5 size for a Chameleon... well two for the same price and I was going crazy!!

A black Chameleon and an aqua Chameleon... with the shipping was 40 US dollars... wich for an A5 I'm ready to go broke to get LOL but looked reasonable for my mind. And then I saw a personal size Chameleon in raspberry...

I was inlove (*w*) I don't like girly colors but this was love at first look OMG! and then I when DEAD...

You sould know by now I own two Domino's in Ultra Violet, one personal and one A5... What you don't know it's that I'm a sucker for snakes since I was a child, I can't help but love them like you have no idea and now I'm going for spiders too LOL well... back on track and to make things short, this was what I found...

A BRONZE SNAKE DOMINO A5!!!!!!!!!! *drools*

Ok people, I'm not kidding, this is more cheap than the Chameleons and since I have been reading about the discoloration problems of the Chameleon I'm stalking this baby until the end. I have seen this binder before in Philofaxy and adore it so much. I know most of you may think this is crazy but OMG this would be the perfect gift for myself.

Others may said that I'm nuts just for knowing that I can't pay so much money for a planner because of the shipping cost issue, so why torture me with Ebay or Amazon? For me it's more of a healthy thing in the end, why? It helped me to think... I do have my personal size Domino and my A5, so... why do I want another? can I afford to get another? what purpose will it have? just to get it for the excitement? and other questions that make me stop and just look wich for me it's a kind of training, so I learn how to use my money in a wise manner.

But this baby would be in my eyes until the bids are over LOL

OBS: None of this pictures was mine, I google all of them jijijiji

They Are Here!!! (*w*)

Yesterday I started my journey in the crazy and amazing world of Filofax (YEY!)

First of all I should have made this post yesterday but I was so overwhelmed with this parcel arriving (FINALY) that I couldn't even get my hands to write here. But, better now than never, isn't right?

One interesting fact (at least for me) was that this parcel left London the 31th of October (O.O Halloween) and arrived the 13th of November (TUESDAY 13th). Being me, the one little witch that I like to say I am, this fact was relevant and make this gift even more special (*w*)

You would see (if you watch the video) that this parcel was FULL of gift and things that I love and I will use in my Filofax's when I get them set up. But for those who don't want to watch a 17 minutes long videos of me opening my parcel (-.-) I will list what I got down here:

1) Stickers (*o*)

2) Magnet paper clip (2 of them)

3) Sticky notes in various colors

4) A ball point blue pen

5) Note pads (one spiral bound, the other one in the shape of a cat)

6) Stamps (for Christmas)

7) Stickers for Christmas presents or others

8) An 8 hole punch

9) A few Dodo Pad inserts (definitely try them out)

10) A mini Malden in GREY

11) A personal Domino Ultra Violet (with page marker)

12) An A5 Domino Ultra Violet (with page marker)

I think I put everything in that list... hmmm... If I find out something is missing I would add to it (^-^)
