Opening a Pandora-Filofax Box

*sigh*


First of all, there are waaaay worse problems to have then mine. That being said, here is my little Filofax "problem".


For a while I had the personal crimson Malden. She was my main Filo used in conjunction with the oh-so-colorful Erin Condren planner. All was well in my world. I toyed with A5 binders to handle other information such as crafty things, volunteer work, meal planning, and the like. I was working the planners yet not staying on top of enough things. I struggled when I only used the EC (or tried to do that--fail!). The Malden was used but not well enough. Change. Was. Needed.


Enter the A5 Malden in ochre. Jill, a fellow Philofaxy reader, offered to trade it for a personal so I jumped to do so. This Filofax is lovely. I have filled it with lots of good stuff and feel like I am making more progress than before--I simply needed  r  o  o  m    t  o    s  t  r  e  t  c  h and write MORE stuff down. The EC became the home stuff tracker (projects and the like) and I now have Malden and Malden. Or shall I say did have the motley pair.


Then along came Ms. Finch. She is lovely and a nice change from crimson. I did carry the crimson for over a year, readers. Seriously. I even went through insert disappointment this winter but recovered nicely. Well, for now. But that's for another day.


I can you saying, incredulously, so what's the problem? What could be wrong now?


Simply put:  Filofax overload. I scored some Filos off of eBay, models I have always longed for, and now I need to move into ONE personal. The contenders are:


Ms. Raspberry Chameleon, Ms. Imperial Purple Finchley, Mr. Brown Amazona

Each has his or her own strengths. Each his or her own beauty. Each has something special to offer. Egads--I feel like I am choosing a suitor. Oops.


Now, I won't *freak* out over such a minor decision. It's not like I'm conducting brain surgery or saving lives.  I do value the opinions of others, though. So, what should I carry this season? Hmmn??? By the way, I'm totally leaning toward the Amazona. Shh...don't tell the other Filos....
