My YouTube series has started and I'm so excited!
Way more excited than seems to be coming across on camera!
Let me fill in any gaps in the details. So basically I started my YT channel at the beginning of January and it really took off! I don't really know quite what I expected to happen but I'm pretty sure it's far exceeded any expectation I could have had!
This past weekend was the latest and my first Filofax meetup organised by the very lovely Steve of Philofaxy in London.
It was a fabulous day.
My friend Anna (aka Mrs Brimbles) and I caught the early train (because it was cheaper!) and we started the day with a spot of shopping!
First stop, Fortnum & Mason.
If you're not familar, check out their website. It's just divine.
I absolutely adore their selection of teas.
We ambled around the entire store almost, and made an important stop at the stationary department to touch some planners!
We found a stunning collection of teapots too.
I couldn't not share the mouthwatering delights in their confectionery department.
Now, I haven't taken any pictures for the reasons stated in my last post so I will post the link to the video below.
I printed some pages from the Philofaxy page and hopefully you'll find it really useful if the Filofax own brand aren't working out for you.
If I had a tagline it should probably be 'technology failed me again' (TFMA) after all that's why I have a paper planner, right?!
So I log in here on the blog to see that lasts weeks scheduled post didn't work so they will go up together! Ugh, TFMA!
That adds to the fact that yesterday I posted up the latest episode of the series on my channel and later realised that I hadn't had any emails with comments as usual and I couldn't figure out why until I saw that it was set to private, TFMA!
Not to mention the drama of actually filming it AND the bonkers intro!
Anywho, I survived it all!
As I write, I realise that I haven't taken enough photos so will be another text heavy post. We love reading, right?!
In this weeks episode I've shown how to make pocket sized dividers with top and side tabs from scratch and how to laminate them.
Have you checked out my YouTube channel?
There are now 3 videos for you!
I had an absolute nightmare filming and editing the last 2!
At least it's given some great practice and I'm proud of what I've done.
I would love to read your comments over there.
I have made some friends this past week on the Filofax Lovers UK facebook group and have managed to get myself involved in my first swap. I'm very excited about it, I'll be getting some a-z dividers for my Malden and sending off a little package of goodies in return.
I'll most likely post it on Instagram in the week, which is where I seem to spend most of my spare moments lately.
So, I started this post last weekend and then my little boy came down with a bug which involved some sleepless nights, lots of cleaning, washing and having him home from school all week!
I've not coped with it particularly well but thankfully he's fully recovered now so I can try to catch up the weeks to-do's this weekend, including my Instagram!
Also I recieved the above mentioned swap yesterday so I'm about to do a post about that and will include some photos as I realise my posts needs some colour, if the content isn't enough!!!
So, on the jumping right in theme, I started a Youtube channel!
It was big and scary and I'm so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone.
The video is about my planner/diary history and then filofaxing!
I'm Georgie, I'm a Filofax addict.
There I said it!
I have some great feedback so far and looking forward to making more.
I plan to make other videos on the same topics I listed in the previous post so if planners and filofax aren't your thing there may be something else of interest coming up. If you don't want to miss them, don't forget to subscribe to my channel.
I would also like to give Vlogging a go later in the year.
I think it would be great for me because I'm not particularly good at writing or rather I don't practice enough, and my mind runs faster than my hands can keep up with!
But also if I can fit it into my life relatively regularly in a schedule I am comfortable with, I can get everything (well most things!) out of my head - like a therapy really?!
Sometimes I feel like I haven't achieved much or when I catch up with friends and they ask what I've been up to, I'm stumped (or just stupid!) I know I've been busy which is why I dont actaully see anybody often but busy with what? Doesn't often make for an interesting conversation but perhaps collated over a few videos will amount to something and failing that just something for me to look back on and remember!
