It's About Time!... Plus Enter: Alice.

Hi everyone! :) Finally checking in here with my first -hopefully- relevant blog post! I realized I've been advertising the blog for a while now, which doesn't really work when there's nothing on it. So here we are, and since it's the first post I guess I should tell you a little about me! This is my least favorite part, so please forgive me if I keep it brief.

 

So, hiya! My name is Shelby - I'm a nearly 19 year old girl from the southern United States (Yes, I address everyone as "sir" or "ma'am", say "ya'll" instead of "you guys", and refer to all soft drinks as Coke - and you bet you'll get a crazy look if you don't ask what kind of Coke I want. :P) I am a quirky, introverted teenager who is quite taken with the arts of old-fashioned snail mail and -my newer obsession- Filofaxing.

Since the latter is a newer, shinier, and perhaps more rant worthy passion, I'm going to take this first post to share my growing family with fellow Filo-fanatics.



From left to right: Personal Deep Pink Domino (will be used for school
stuff - I'm a college freshman and need all the organization I can get!
A5 Fluorescent Pink Original - my current "Personal" carry-on.
Personal Orange Osterley - currently awaiting a greater purpose I haven't discovered yet.

 Coming soon - a Large 2014 Kikki-k Time Planner! <3

At the moment, I'm using my A5 original, Alice. I will now proceed to bomb this entry with photos of the lovely lady in all her beautiful glory. -teary face-

 

 

As you can see, she isn't all that stuffed yet, but I *may or may not have* gone a little crazy with the Filofax back to school sale on non-dated entries... soon she'll be bulging! :) Or maybe not, once my Kikki-K comes in... ;o

 

Here's a glance at some of the sections I'm toying with right now.

 

 

Tabs Not Shown: Mail & Finances

 

Diary - > Typical diary-section setup. I use MO2Ps and WO2Ps inserts from the Etsy shop Kiddy Qualia. Here are a couple more pictures - the first is the setup of a past week, the other is this week's in-progress setup!

 

 



 Mail - > Includes address sheets, birthday sheets (one page per month), a list of penpals on Instagram, lists of penpals with Blogs and Youtube channels, and Incoming/Outgoing Mail Logs.

 

Finances -> Is somewhat neglected at the moment, but I'll need to get in the habit of using it more if I'm to make it through Spendless September.

 

Notes -> Washi tape reference, everything else.

 

Self Improvement -> In progress. Will contain subsections that monitor my work towards my goals (i.e. Weight Loss, Reading More, Inspiration, Journaling, and more).

 

Lists -> To-Do lists, goal lists (year/month/week/day), wishlists, etc.

 

So that's all I have for this first post! Sorry if it isn't all that interesting, but I haven't really learned HOW to talk about my Filofax just yet. If anyone has any advice for getting into regular blogging or how I can improve my blog setup, finding things to say, or just wants to -y'know, talk about Filofaxes, hit me up!

 

Thanks for reading! <3
