I used to LOVE shrinky dinks when I was a kid, and I didnt' know that you can print things out on them!! I've been looking for the ones for an inkjet printer, but I can't find any shop which sells them in the UK :( Did you order them from the US??

You then cut out the designs, punch holes and place them in a hot oven. They then shrink and thicken.Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926473417659563584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-22437449639992407872012-12-17T10:26:37.298+00:002012-12-17T10:26:37.298+00:00Before buying my first Filofax I thought about try...Before buying my first Filofax I thought about trying a Traveler's Notebook, but I ended up choosing a Filofax. Now reading your posts I'm getting attracted to the Traveler's Notebook one more time...! I've seen some people making their own Traveler's Notebook like this blogger: http://moripapa55.exblog.jp/7144625. I guess it would be cheaper, but I'm sure the Traveler's Notebook uses high quality leather! It's funny that you said "Filofax as my wife and the Midori as a mistress" lol! The charms you made are really nice by the way!! Did you print them out on thin paper and paste them onto thick card or do you have a printer which can print out on thick card??

But I will continue to use my Malden Filofax as my main planner. In fact, probably won't buy any calender inserts for the Midori. May just use it as a diary/journal or travel book. I've had bound diaries before but something about the Midori booklets, pockets and other accessories intrigue me and I like the tall narrowness of it.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17724328224689359468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-13492168524487829442012-12-12T10:44:33.541+00:002012-12-12T10:44:33.541+00:00"I will never have to choose between Filofax ...

I am trying to talk myself out of wanting one, though. I have no specific need for one, and my Filofax is still working for me. Maybe in the future I might look into it more. But the idea you've presented here is one that I can relate to, specifically with the digital and paper based systems. Right now, I have a hybrid of sorts that works very well for me, and there's no need to choose between the two. Whatever works is what one should go with!WellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-63582568984418104662012-12-11T00:54:40.489+00:002012-12-11T00:54:40.489+00:00I'll be keeping my eye out for them Ray, I was...I'll be keeping my eye out for them Ray, I was wondering if homemade inserts could work?

Spent the whole weekend pondering weather to get one or not. The £40 price tag seems a little steep for a piece of leather and some elastic, but I've given in and ordered one in the brown! Pretty excited about it now, had to order around £20 of extras to get it up and running, so hope it's worth it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151414964614704241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-76847626308095180622012-12-09T06:41:06.598+00:002012-12-09T06:41:06.598+00:00Thank you, both.Thank you, both.Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926473417659563584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-51991295990671286532012-12-09T06:19:42.563+00:002012-12-09T06:19:42.563+00:00Love this post - I think I may be swayed to get a ...Love this post - I think I may be swayed to get a Midori in the New Year (after the no shopping challenge is completed) :-)LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778171833372717942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782680101722146118.post-85875712608160118492012-12-09T03:25:26.527+00:002012-12-09T03:25:26.527+00:00Great post, Ray, both in content and style.Great post, Ray, both in content and style.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06149197895202293976noreply@blogger.com
