I've been married 29 years. We have two daughters, ages 20 and 14. Happy family, happy home!

We have several pets. My Papillon dog is named Steve McQueen and my daughters each have cats, Llance and Nickel. We also have a chinchilla named Mary. There are no smokers in our household.

I'm not a crafter, but rather a planner, organizer, and collector.

I have a large collection of Filofax binders, mostly discontinued. I'm on a quest to own every size and color Finchley -- only four left to find and my collection will be complete. They are A5 in caramel, mustard, and jade, and a personal in mustard. Any leads are much appreciated!

Since August 2013, my every day carry is a medium Gillio Compagna. It's the same as a personal size.

I can be found posting in a couple of Facebook groups: Filofax for Philofaxy Fans; Gillio Firenze; and maybe soon in the Van der Spek Organiser Fans group. I lurk around the Functional Planning!!!, Bullet Journaling, and Franklin Covey Addicts groups for inspiration.

I started a blog in September 2013 and just recently in April brought it out of secret stealth mode. ;) I'd like to start using Instagram one of these days.

I'm an introvert and thought joining these swaps would be a friendly way to share and interact with other people who enjoy making planning fun.
