Helen! Hopefully I don’t sound dumb. But watching you do this made me realize two things: 1. you are a trained artist and designer with a lifetime of experience. seeing this helped me be more patient with myself today. 2. i love the way you block time to design. you reminded me to block time for deeper thinking work. I just started following and buying tcmc earlier this year. I love my sub packages so much. Thank you for helping folks like me be artistic. Also thank you for your vulnerability and your honesty. I appreciate you.
Ok I'm totally losing my mind. First, seeing this all come to life like this is phenomenal. I am so glad you shared it. You are incredibly talented and I'm so happy that I get to enjoy your creations. Second.. the RULER!! It's like you knew I missed out on one since my first purchase was last November 2022. I'm at 31 orders and going strong. Third, I cannot wait for the next two subscriptions! It's so exciting to get to see them from start to finish. I appreciated them before but wow I appreciate them even more now! Also, will there be another little icon theme (list?) for 2024 subscriptions? I loved being able to reference it when I wanted to remind myself the theme that was coming. Happy super long video sunday! Have a great day Helen!
I’m very impressed with how disciplined you seem to be as a small business owner. I’d love to hear/see more about how you got there and schedule yourself. I struggle really badly with this myself. 🤦🏽♀️
Your creativity and design process is absolutely amazing! I am totally in awe of what goes on inside your head and what makes it out and a reality. Truly genius!!
New here. Your work is so lovely! I especially love your calligraphy. I used to do calligraphy... a million billion years ago. My hands don't even remember how to hold the pens anymore. It's sad. But it makes me glad younger people are still writing by hand at all! Everything is typed these days. I used to have nice regular handwriting. Even that has gone to crap because I very rarely have any need to write anything by hand anymore. Plus, I do tons of typing for work so many hands often are tired/hurt.
Helen, the insight into how you work - brainstorm, sketch, draw, refine - demonstrates so much creativity, SKILL, and experience. What a talented human you are, the result of much hard work and passion. You inspire me greatly.
I love this thought process/creative process video. And even more exciting is the vintage theme with maps and postage stamps!! My absolute favorite. I am such a sucker for all types of vintage ephemera. I need to sign up for the snail mail sub! I am pretty new to your channel and products, so everything is new and exciting!
Oops! Clearly i hadn't watched to the end yet. Was too excited!😂 what a masterpiece!! Everything is just beautiful. I cannot believe how high quality everything is. ❤
Helen you have outdone yourself! First, the video, I love seeing the behind the scenes design process and then see your vision come to life! Second, the art, wow, your artistic skills are amazing, I've decided you can draw anything! Third , the items, each piece is very special and well thought out and I can't wait to use them...specifically the ruler and B6 folder for work! I've never had one of your rulers before...I'll take them in any color and even in different materials such as a thicker acrylic! TFS!!!
What an awesome video! I am new to TCMC and have loved watching your design process. It's amazing how much time, work, brainstorming, and dedication that is put into your products. I am so thankful I am subscribed to the PenPal bundle! Thank you for all you do to add fun and happiness to the planner/stationary community! 💜
Helen! I am OBSESSED! So, first of all - you are hilarious! "You rule" on a ruler and "mapping out the map" when talking about your process. But also - these products are gorgeous! So much time, effort, and care goes into your design process- I jut can't say enough how much I admire you. Thank you for sharing this video. It makes me feel not as bad about how long it takes me to do artwork from start to finish :P ... also - that folder is just *chef's kiss* perfect!
It took me three tries to finish the video. I kept falling asleep because your voice is so relaxing. I think I'm the most excited by this quarter's subscription! I've been wanting a ruler since I knew they existed. Everything looks great! Thank you! *big hugs* ❤
I’m sure it’s challenging to balance revealing products, but I absolutely LOVE watching your design videos. Or even snippets of design in your other videos. You’re truly so wonderful as an artist and business woman. Thank you for the inspiration!
such a cool idea for a video - thank you for allowing us to see your progress on how you come up with the icons of the planning world! It's really cool to see how you come up with ideas, prices, and designs. I have never been able to afford your items not yet, especially older designs that are going for $100 for a washi on mercari - absolutely insane), but it shows how desired your products are! My brother brought me back my first hobinichi from Japan this weekend, so I am hoping my first purchase from you is going to be the precious tabs for it!! Your voice is so soothing, and I love your videos! I'm definitely a new fan, and I can't wait to join the masses who get to own these precious emotis!!!
You are so talented Helen!! Thank you for showing us your process, I found it so interesting. I'm so happy to be one of your subscribers, i especially love the world washi and book mark! Lots of love xx
I hope when I grow up, I can be like you Helen. The work behind creating a sub box, wow, it intimidates me lol. Love your whole process :) Much love :)
I’m going to enjoy watching this behind-the-scenes documentary hehe…It’s so cool seeing your thought process for your designs! For me, it makes seeing the final product even more spectacular 😍
I love seeing how you come up with your designs. I love seeing the process and absolutely love how calming your voice is. Being an artist who runs a store definitely is not easy!! But I am going to be watching this video more than once. It has helped me relax and I am so greatful for you Helen. You are a beautiful and talented person ❤️
This time last year I got a puppy I was not at all prepared for, and watching your videos helped me calm down and feel like I could get myself together again. Now I’m cuddling with my adult dog and feeling nostalgic 🥰 thanks for sharing your processes with us
Thank you for showing us some of your process, Helen! Seeing that there was a long video today started my day off on the right foot! 😊 I'm super excited for this quarter subscription, wonderful work!
Loved this video! ❤ The sound came through wonderfully, fyi. I would absolutely LOVE if you introduced some more envelopes for the planners! Yours looks fantastic in front of your planner…such a great idea 😊 Thanks for bringing us along!
This was so cool to watch! Thank you so much for filming and sharing this process. I know that slowed you down a bit but it made me appreciate how much work goes into each sub. - Casandra Marie
Great video, I love that you shared just how much thought and time goes into these items. Now I can't wait until December (PenPal), hopefully it will arrive before Xmas. Thank you for making your items special and unique!!
Very pleased to watch the whole designing process. You did such an amazing job! I wish to get these subscriptions, but I live in China and the international delivery is a big concern. Still looking forward to seeing these kind of design videos more often! ❤❤
Helen you are so incredibly inspiring. Absolutely love your stationary… would love if you could do a acrylic floral emoti ruler, don’t know if you have done one already… but just curious to know your thoughts. ❤ Thank you…
All the little details and funnies! ❤ love it! I’m so excited to be able to get a ruler and the file folder. Two things I’ve not gotten yet. Can’t wait to see the rest of the weather stuff.
Really loved this video x so much so made my first ever CoffeeMonsterz purchase by subscribing to the Snail Mail for October - especially looking forward to the ruler 👌🏻🐌✉️
Oh Helen, I loved watching your process. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work. I am not a subscriber, YET! I’m thinking of subscribing to Pen Pal but not sure I want to wait until December haha.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH!! It’s amazing watching your thought process turn into such unique items! These longer videos are my absolute favorites, I can’t wait to see everything in person! ( I think I’ll have to hoard the sticker sheet, I love the little emotis with hats.) 🥹💛
I love this video so much! So fun to see the idea to product journey. Completely heartbroken I missed the deadline and praying I get good luck with overstocks 😭
loved the video! i enjoy seeing behind the scenes videos like these. it's so interesting to see how much effort and planning is put into creating all the items you sell in your shop. i signed up for snail parcel right after i finished the video. :)
Do you ever use shimmery inks in your fine nib fountain pens? If so, do you have shimmery ink brands you would recommend, & with which pen? What nib size do you have for your PIlot vanishing point?
Helen! Hopefully I don’t sound dumb. But watching you do this made me realize two things:

Hahahaha THANK YOU!!!!!

Hahaha sudden realization :p
Your creativity and design process is absolutely amazing! I am totally in awe of what goes on inside your head and what makes it out and a reality. Truly genius!!

Cool! I was thinking an old phone at the beginning of the video…then BOOM ..there it is. 😊
I love everything! The conversions on the ruler are a great idea. It's very important to know how many potatoes are in your order of fries.😀😀
Thank you Sandra! Hahaha indeed!!!

What nib size do you have for your PIlot vanishing point?
