2013 Personal filofax set-up

Hi everyone. Sorry it has been a while since my last post. My entire house is quite ill at the moment, including myself. It has made for a long holiday season.

Today I thought I would show my set-up for 2013 in my personal chameleon. I have 2, the aqua and a black one I just got for Christmas from my husband. I am currently using the black one, mostly to break it in and give my aqua a bit of a rest. The Chameleon is truly the Filofax for me I think.

I am trying a few new things this year. I have a seperate To-Do section for more major, or lengthy to-dos, and I am using the week on two pages cotton cream that was wonderfully gifted to me by Sam. (Your thank-you package is on its way, I hope you like it.)

Get ready for some pictures.....


The front cover...I love the chameleon...


Some goals and resolutions.


Inside the front cover


A pocket I made using an Avery product I found at Staples.


My 'flyleaf' with some post it notes on it ready for use.


Awesome stickers from Tracey


Some blank filofax paper that I perforated into three sections, but you can't really see it unfortunately.

My first attempt at using the To-Do sheets. I hope this works out for me.

  2. Love it too...Yes I got a perforating blade for cutterpede paper cutter. I got it at walmart in Canada for about 20 bucks and the perforating blade I got for Christmas, but I think they are about $4 here in Canada. I think I will feature it for That Thing Thursday which I have to start doing again....

    1. The perforator has got to be my favorite Christmas gift this year, and I think my mom only spent like $5 bucks on it. Even my kids like it. Best thing ever. Thanks so much for checking out my post. It means a lot

  7. I just put a perforator on my to get list! Nice set up! Did you just cut down the Avery product for your pocket divider?

    1. I did have to cut down the Avery product but the reason I didnt' really mention what it was is that I just don't remember at all. It was for an 8.5*5.5 product and had a pocket on either side, it opened sort of like a book. I hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate it.

  8. Lovely colourful setup. I like your pocket - will borrow that idea for my finance FF to stash receipts, rather than leave them scrunched up at the bottom of my bag!

  10. How do you find your perforator? I have been looking for a trimmer and a lot of the ones on offer seem to also have a perforator (but are slightly more expensive) considering whether it is worth it?!

    1. I am going to do a blog post on my perforator I think, it seems to be a big hit. I found it at Walmart. I purchased the actual paper trimmer and the perforator blade was a seperate purchase. Best money I ever spent. The trimmer was $19.99 and my mother bought the extra blade for about $5. Hope this helps. Check out my post in the next couple of days for more info. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  11. I love your setup! It's practical, pretty, and you seem to have everything you might need. I love the Chameleons too! And I absolutely love your 'shopping list' idea, with the perforations down in the middle... thanks for this post!
