Lets take a tour!

 
This is the cover of my lovely Aston Filofax in Orchid!

 
Side view with my pens.

 
Love the stitching on the spine, and the F of course!

 
Top view!

 
She lays flat right out of the box, in case you were wondering!

 
Fly leaf dashboard with some post-its on both sides.

 
Fly leaf on the left, year overview on the right with a magnetic paperclip.

 
Contents of the left side pockets: extra magnetic paperclip, stamps, folded up notes, and a monthly 2 year calendar.


 
A glance at the monthly calendar... the retailer I bought my 2013 diary inserts at was out of the month on 2 pages so I just decided to do this as a cheap and quick alternative... I may still end up ordering the inserts online cause I really miss them and this calendar adds too much bulk!


 
This is a cross necklace made out of yarn that my husband gave me but it got itchy and was irritating so I stopped wearing it, but I really wanted to have it somewhere I could see it all the time, so I attached it to the ring opening mechanisms :) now its like a little Filofax charm!

 
I have some sticky tabs for the months.

 
I have the day per page diary inserts, so I write most of my to-dos and such on the day pages. I opted to (momentarily) just have the diary section and a to-do/notes section.

 
I have a fly leaf as a dashboard and divider for my to-do/notes section.

 
I have some leftover unused day per page inserts from last year where I switched layouts part way through the year, so instead of tossing them I decided to reuse the pages! I just blocked out the dates and flipped them upside down to use as extra note sheets etc.

 
On the left: another magnetic clip holding together some blank note sheets (just used computer paper then cut and hole punched to fit). On the right: black plastic thing from another planner I had (don't remember the brand) I have it in the back as a little sheet protector and to add a little more of a hard surface for writing.

 
All the lovely stickers, dividers, hole reinforcements that I keep in the back zip pocket!

 
My 2 Bic 4 color pens!

 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these hot lists!! Mental note: need to get more!
