Kat's life in Cali

Gillio Medium Compagna is the IT planner from Gillio Firenze .   I have been a ringless planner girl for over 2 years.  Every time I see those beautiful photos on the facebook page, I told myself one day I am going to try the Medium Companga when the time and price is right.  So, when I saw this IT planner show up on the  Gillio Good Deals Corner  site, I made the purchase right away.  I made the purchase on Thursday and received it on Wednesday.  At first I thought the shipping cost is high (22 euro), yet, the shipping is so fast from Belgium to USA that I think the price is well worth it.   Customer service at Gillio is probably one of the best I have experienced as they offer the online chat on their website.

Currently I am journaling in a personal size blank notebook which I cut down from the Midori refill 003.  It is a nice blank paper that can handle stamps, distress ink, water color and fountain pen.  I am not a huge decorative girl and depending on how creative I feel for the day, I will choose how to layout the page.  Usually I go with the easy route, washi and colored pen.  Here is what I need to have round me when I am journaling Black or blue ink pen:  Currently I am favoring  Pilot Metropolitan fine nib fountain pen Metal Ruler:  to write straight and use as a guide to cut if necessary Polaroid Zip Photo printer .  I LOVE this little guy! I compared the photo print quality with my cannon printer and surprisingly, the quality of polaroid is actually better than my Cannon.  Note my Cannon is Model # MG5230 ink jet, not the selfphy.  Exacto-Knife  Different designs of washi Scissor White out Cutting board Document your life and journal on~ xoxo Kat
