New dividers-ready made

Hi all, this is a quick post to show you the Day-Timer "Blank Coloured Tabs" dividers I ordered from Amazon. They were about six dollars, and then the shipping ended up being as expensive as the dividers themselves! I e-mailed Amazon and tried to cancel the order, but they showed up anyway. In total, they were about $14.00. If I had seen them in person, would I have paid that for them? Maybe...they are pretty nice...take a look...















They come in a pack of 12, and as you can see there is a great variety of colours-it's not obvious from this picture, but no two shades are the same. The is also a sheet of clear stickers with every category you could imagine, as you can see above. You put the stickers on the little tabs! I still love my Adelphi dividers, but they have been taking a bit of a beating, and getting a little ragged around the edges. I was thinking about using a different type of divider, and saw these. Since they are plain white, I had the idea I might do a sketch or drawing right on the divider itself.

But, even though the tab is nice and strudy, the paper used for the divider is just that...paper! It's the thickness of a normal piece of paper, which I find too flimsy.  However, for those of you who like to attach images to your dividers, these would be perfect!

Also, upon putting one in my Adelphi to try it out, I discovered that the tabs don't protrude out from the pages very much. They are very small, as are the little clear stickers with the categories. I think they would be more appropriate for a slimline or compact... I like my tabs and category stickers to be nice and bold...but I'm keeping them, of course. You never know when a Filofax-compatible accessory might come in handy!

  1. I love them! The clear stickers are a nice touch. And I don't like too bold colors but these seem to be quite muted to me. Thanks.

    1. Hi there! There is a really good variety of colours-you could do a combo of,say, grey, blue, pink, green. I'm sure you could find a combo that suits you. Thanks for the comments!

    1. Oh, Tracy...should I thank you for enabling me? But that's what we Filo folks are for, right?!
