Hi All

I'm recently joined here but have been watching and learning.

I have been looking at Pocket Briefcases but was slightly hesitant about costs, customisation etc. A week or two ago, I was hunting for something that would work for my needs; Small and slim enough for an inside jacket pocket, space for a weekly diary plus a note-taking space. I wanted something that I would be able to carry always as I seem to have ideas/remember important "to do" items at the most inconvenient times.

I stumbled across a small, leather double photo frame in a stationers called "paperchase", a biggish chain here in the UK.

The idea then began to take one of these and convert it to fit my preferred format of half 6x4 index cards. I spent an hour or so with a scalpel and ruler converting one and, if I say so myself, I am extremely pleased with it. It is not too high-level but it serves my needs, carries 5 cards each side and I can foresee it being used daily. Once a card is full or an idea is noted, I transfer it to my A5 Filofax at the office.

I am looking forward to any comments or suggestions for improvement. I will post up templates that I use to create my cards in case anyone is interested. Some pics on Flickr (I hope) in case you want a look. Keep up the great site.
