So you wanna Filofax?

Hey Filofaxing friends, it has been a while now since I have done a 'proper' Filofax Friday but slowly but surely I am getting there. Well today is Friday and I am talking about Filofaxes so lets just call this Filofax Friday shall we lol.



Sorry it has been a long time coming, firstly they took a little while getting to me and secondly there was my accident but I finally have in my possession three brand spanking new beautiful Filofaxes to giveaway. Super duper exciting I think you will agree.

Thank you so so much for everyone who voted for me in the Pimp my Filofax challenge and also a big thank you to Filofax for firstly asking me to participate and secondly for providing such fab prizes. If you remember I gave the Filofax away that Filofax sent me to use. I was allowed to keep it if I wanted but I chose to give it away and I am pleased to say that it is now safely with Faye who is looking forward to getting cracking with her first ever Filofax.

So here, right now, I am giving away two of the Filofaxes. I love instagram and I love participating in the monthly photo challenges so I thought it would be fun to set one up for October and make the third Filofax the prize for that, so please stay tuned for that coming soon. I will post details both here on my blog and also on instagram so make sure you subscribe / follow to be notified of when that goes live. In fact I have more giveaways planned for this year so you are best to subscribe so you don't miss out on those too. If you are on Bloglovin you can follow me there or just follow by email on the right side of the blog ------->

So on to the prizes then...



Firstly we have the Pennybridge iPade Mini Case (A5 Raspberry) which retails on the Filofax website for £30.00

A grained leather-look zipped case to hold your iPad Mini securely. Designed for simultaneous paper and tablet use, the 360 degree rotatable tablet holder can be used for multiple viewing positions. Featuring internal pockets, a pen holder and an A5 notepad for keeping organised.

Left Hand Details: elasticated smartphone and card pockets, A5 notepad/document pocket, A5 ruled notepad with micro-perforated pages, elasticated pen holder.
 

Right Hand Details: 360 degree rotatable iPad Mini holder, which folds open to enable multiple viewing positions.

Closure Detail: zipped with leather-look zip pull
Height: 235mm
Width: 180mm
Depth: 30mm


I don't have an iPad, I am a kindle Fire user myself but if I did have one I would certainly give this a try as the quality is amazing and I like the idea of being able to have your note pad, pen and phone altogether in the same case. Personally, colour wise, the cobalt blue catches my eye.

I love the original, everything about it really, in fact it is hard to articulate a feeling but I will soon as I keep promising to do a set up of that. One day soon I promise.

Beautiful in its simplicity and available in a range of striking colours, The Original personal organiser has an iconic design and features a bespoke button on the leather strap closure.

Aren't they just fantastic prizes. I tell you it is so hard for me to give that original away, I love it so much, I so wish that was the one I was given to 'pimp' as I don't much care for the Cover Story. Am I jealous that some of the other participants got an original to keep heck yeah lol. Talking other other participants, don't forget to check out the other winners from the competiotion as they took have Filofaxes to give away...

Winner Announcement...

I am so sorry guys...when I created the giveaway I put 'follow on Twitter' as optional so I still thought this would enable everyone to enter but that I would gain new friends that I could follow on Twitter too. It turns out that is not the case and that if you entered the giveaway and didn't follow me on Twitter you were not a valied entry. I am so sorry, I didn't realise this and this was not my intention. So....rather than use the widget to only generate a winner from my Twitter followers, I took the total number of entries and put them into random.org to find a winner and then I manually told the widget who has won. I just wanted to let you all know this, to apologise for my mistake and to also say that I wanted to do this all fairly (by random) and I didn't want to upset anyone or anyone to think I had done this fraudulently. Congratulations to Lexi who won the ipad case and Barbara who won the purple personal. Both have been contacted and their prizes are on their way. I have more giveaways coming soon, so if you didn't win this time there are plenty more opportunities and I will know for next time re the Twitter follow. Thank you so much everyone for your understanding. x
