In July, I will be 1 year old in Filofax years. To celebrate, a little early to note, I bought myself
a little present. What else but a brand new Filofax? A personal Osterly in brown. Very beautiful. I have decked it out in all new duds, natch: new cotton cream paper, which comes with it; tabbed dividers made from 'designer' duct tape sheets purchased from Target, and backed with ivory card stock; a brown Today ruler/marker; a personalized post-it dashboard with sticky notes purchased while on vacation in Hawaii, and some very smart beige-y, cream-y sticky tabs from Smash.
As I don't enjoy bright neon colors, I wanted my color scheme to be nice subdued earth-tone
hues to match the planner. Throughout you will see browns, beiges, cotton cream, of course, a little black.
The only thing lacking is the perfect pen. I'm on the hunt for one with brown ink.

A page from the Notes Section. I ripped pictures from a magazine
of some items that I need and swathed a piece of Smash tape over it. It's
the piece that says 'Need It!' |

| A page from the To Do Section. Standard fare |
 |
A page from the ASL (American Sign Language) Section. I hole punched a booklet
of signs for quick reference. I am a sign language interpreter. |
 |
| A page from the Bible Section |
 |
A page from the Books Section. I have challenged myself to read 40 books this year.
Almost half way there! |
 |
A page from the OOTD (outfit of the day) Section. I created a template
to record everything I will wear for the upcoming week. No scrambling
around in the morning for something to wear! |
