    How kind of you to have such an excellent giveaway! I have the patent in duck egg and must say it's a great little filofax :)
    My best planning tip is: do it every day! I find myself at a complete loss without my planner! :p
    I'd love to follow you on bloglovin but i cant quite work out how from my mobile! :p
    Thanks again, Elli :)

    Congrats once more :) this beauty has never appeared in Portugal, so curious. I would say that my best tip for keeping it light for an "On the Go" planner is always asking yourself "Do I really need this all the time with me?" before puting anything on it. This way I managed to keep a quite light On the go planner :) I follow you on Bloglovin. Hugs from the Organized Scientist ;)

    Congratulations Amanda on reaching this goal! I have been following you for a good chunck of that time. I love how you decorate your planner and am always checking for blog updates! I follow you on Bloglovin' and Facebook. My biggest tip would be to not get caught up in how everyone else pretties up their planner and make yours you. I really got caught up in it all and spent so much time trying to make it pretty that it wasn't working for me. I am now down to minimal decorations so there is more room for my documenting! I also use half the width of the skinny washi to decorate between my days and the regular with at the top and bottom of the pages. To make it half the width, I found it easiest to put a strip of washi on wax paper and simply cut in half. It peels and sticks really easy. I have also done this to make my own die cut look. Thank you for the opportunity to win my very first Filofax! Congratulations again!

    happy year 2!! what an achievement! im following via email. my main tip to all newbies is to sit with a pen and paper and think how you want your planner to work for you. figure out what sections you want and need, source pages that you are going to WANT to use! it doesnt have to follow the traditional filofax set up. you can include anything and everything! then have fun with it, personalise it. washi tape and stickers are always a favourite amongst the ladies in UK Planner Addicts. I have a growing collection myself and love to decorate my planner daily. A Filofax is a great tool, so flexible. Make it work for you! love, Lo Lah - UK Planner Addicts <3

    Two years already! How time flies!
    my best Filofax advice is to use top tabs if you can, especially in compacts. Side tabs stop pens fitting properly.
    And I follow you on bloglovin and google+ I think?

    Grats on your anniversary! My tip would be not to watch and search how other people use their planners too much, especially as a starter (but also later on) it's really easy to get carried away and blindly copy things you think that look nice but in the end of the day don't really work for you.
    I've been actually stalking your blog through my Feedly but with this opportunity I started following also on bloglovin and google though I don't use them all that much :P

    I follow you by Feedly, actually, but just added you to BlogLovin - I realize the stats are helpful through there, so I've been trying to add people on it, but I hate how it's set up...so I just ignore that account :/ But Feedly, now that I check multiple times a day, ha!

    Happy beautiful two's, Amanda!
    Thanks to philofaxy blog I found your blog and follow it on Feedly, I believe it can be called following by email. Thank you for the time and effort you put in this blog. Hope you'll celebrate many beautiful anniversaries.

    I am new in Filofax family, just got a pocket baby chameleon. The best tip for me is to stop reading endless tips&tricks on various sites somehow and start planning :) I am dying at every YouTube video on Filofax setup and planning. Now I saw this compact sunny patent and I want it soooo bad!) what are you doing to me? ;)

    What a cute little filofax! I've never had a compact size before and I have been looking at them.. fingers crossed. My tip is to write all appointments, shifts etc in pencil then one evening I then get creative and jazz it all up.

    My planner suggestion is to decorate important dates with washi & page flags so they stand out.

    Hi Amanda, Happy Anniversary.

    This is the first time I am entering a Filofax contest or to say any contest online. I follow you through email.

    My tip would be about to do lists. I think a master to do list should be used instead of number of different to do lists.

    Happy Anniversary and thanks for the very generous giveaway. I follow by email. My tip is not to make your planning too complicated or you will not use your planner. Allow it to be for quickly jotted notes and maybe not perfect handwriting, or the exact colour code as the most important thing is having the correct information.

    Happy Anniversary!!
    I think my planning tip would be to just start a routine to plan. Make to do lists every day when you get up and plan out your week. I like to decorate every Sunday for the week so that I have cute pages to look at too. 😊
    Thank you so much for the chance to win your awesome giveaway!!

I have maintained a planner for many years, but have just recently discovered the world of planner decorating. I love the way you decorate your pages and am now obsessed with your reinforcement circles! I can't decide which to buy, I want them all!

    I am getting more into using my filofax personal. One of my planner tips is using washi tape down the side to help reinforce your holes. (but I just love decorating.)

    & unbelievably it has arrived today! Wow! Most impressive! Beautifully packaged with funky washi tape & cute stickers-an absolute pleasure to unwrap. It goes without saying that I luuuurve it- it's so great to be able to try a compact; it'll be perfect for my handbag :-) I'm loving yellow atm & it's a beautiful ice creamy yellow, not a sickly pastel tone if that makes sense. So perfect for Spring; I've been playing with all my stickers, sticky notes, paper clips, flags etc-one of my most relaxing & favourite things to do. I've some lovely green accessories which I think will go perfectly & a gorgeous owl pen to pop in the pen loop. Thank you , thank you, thank you. I am super happy & super grateful & will share some pics once it's decorated :-) Mwah! xxx
