Last Saturday, May 28th, 60 enthusiastic, creative, inspired and planner-crazy people (59 women and 1 man I believe!) gathered in the bubbling city of Amsterdam for the first European planner event: #Plansterdam2016! When you say 'planner', you say 'Gillio', so of course I (Mella) had to attend, showcasing my personal collection of Gillios, spreading the Gillio bug and handing out webshop vouchers and sample sets to all attendees! So I packed my bags and took a train to Amsterdam early in the morning... Wonderfully organised by Liselotte and Katie, we were greeted and ... Read more
