For those who don't know, a Wreck This Journal is a book that has instructions in for you to complete it with - but the instructions push you to use your creativity and go against the conventions of normal literature by literally wrecking the book! You can find more examples on my tumblr page. The above video is a quick flick through my book so far - I've had it since September.

New Year - New Filo?
Happy 2013! Let's hope it's a good one :)
The title is a little misleading - no, I won't be buying a new filofax as I own three already! However this year I want to use my personal Finsbury for an actual use. Currently it sits in my desk at uni and I use it to record when I go to the gym, and what I do there - and that's all.
So I need a decent useage for it. I'm going to start applying for jobs soon (as I graduate in July, eep!) and I'm hoping to move in with my OH as soon as possible after leaving uni. I've used the finance sheets that come from Filofax themselves but honestly, I found them too small to use properly and useless for budget planning. I think this year I'd like to try using my Filo as a way to keep track of my money my way, shopping lists, wants and needs, savings, meal planning, job apps, possible flats to look at as well as the gym record.
I need to figure out a good set up for the above uses then. Hmm. I have no idea where to start with budget planning or set up and it's bothering me a lot! Maybe I'll go with just blank pages and write on those, keeping it organised into sections. Hmm.
I might look at selling my A4 metropol, I rarely use it. I will almost certainly be selling it in July when I've graduated as I won't have a use for it anymore.

Crafty bits - Smashbooking
I got a Smashbook this Christmas, something I've been lusting over since October! Mine is a lovely 'pretty pink' one and I've already started customising the front cover:
A smashbook, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is a scrapbook with all different papers inside, and a glue/pen combo attached so all you need to do is stick in the photos and items you want to keep. I've done a (sadly, quite long!) overview of my book on youtube which you can watch below.
I'll be back with a filofax post soon, I'm planning to revitalise how I use it in 2013 and actually use it!
