I haven't finished the video, but I needed to stop because I am just appalled that someone would write a TCMC thread so hateful. I want to remind you Helen, that you can be ripest juiciest peach in the world and someone will still not like peaches. You are art is beautiful, the success of your business that keeps growing and growing is a testament to that. Take any comments from where they come from, someone who simply does not like peaches. Everyone else who enjoys peaches is still supportive of you and your art. I know how hard it is to read something so negative, when the brain seems to not be an ally sometimes. I hope that you are able to focus on the great things your business and your art has given your fans and customers, your family and yourself. Merry Christmas to the Tater Fam and to you Helen!!
Well said Martha! I will and continue to be a supporter of Helen and the tater family. She seems very genuine and passionate about her business and her customers. We need more people like Helen in the small business world, she’s a gem 💎
Had to stop the video when you mentioned someone created a hurtful Reddit about you. I haven’t seen the thread and don’t plan to. Helen, please don’t allow the negativity of some dim the light and love so many of us have for you. Continue to shine in the way only you can and know that you and what you create are truly loved and supported ❤
I just came here to say that I hadn’t come across your work until I saw that Reddit post, looked you up because I was curious, loved what you’re doing, and ordered from you the same day. I screwed up my order initially and emailed you to amend it, and I was so touched by how gracious and helpful you were. I think you’re doing amazingly. I can’t take the hurt of reading the Reddit thread away from you, but I can say that I’m grateful that you’re making such lovely things, and that I get to enjoy them now too. Happy holidays.
I'm not sure of your name but thank you so much for ordering and I'm glad I was able to help!!! And thank you as well for your kind words of reassurance
I was the person with initials EW who emailed on Christmas Eve to add some 2023 holiday stickers to the order I’d made about 3 days earlier! You were staggeringly efficient, I honestly hadn’t expected a response until the new year, and I’ve been hoping ever since that you’ve managed to squeeze in some proper rest time over the break. Wishing you well for 2023 :)
I like to think of that reddit thread as this: how POSITIVE is it that someone popped "Hobonichi layouts" into a UA-cam search and found that so many people loved and were using your products?! You inspire people! I'm sure there are plenty of people who would never have started planning if it wasn't for your layouts and/or stickers showing that it is do-able and that all you need is a book, a pen and maybe some stickers to plan and record memories. You have inspired ME and I love watching your videos and seeing your products around the traps. It's inspiring and fun to see how people take the same thing I have, and use it in a completely new-to-me way.
I saw that Reddit post. I think the fact that everyone uses your stickers and content is a testament to the fact that your emotis and art are so wonderful! I'm here to say I love all of your videos and products. You're a gem of a human, thank you for making content.
Merry Christmas! I am so sorry that you saw that Reddit post. It was untrue and unfair. Moreover, it started a spiral of negativity that it took days to reset. Let me say thank you for your posts and products. You created a community of people who share creativity and joy on social media. That is something to be incredibly proud of and I hope you know how many people appreciate you. For me, your channel has been so inspiring. I found your posts when I first learned about the planner community and helped me find my own planner creative expression. Your school/work schedule was motivating, too. You have had an incredible impact on many lives and have done that while you shared your kawaii-esque art. You deserve all your success and more! Ignore your critics and others who only contribute negative energy into spaces. You are up to better things. Wishing you all the good things in the coming year.
Hey Helen! I saw the reddit thread too & I hope it didn't get you too down. 😔 There were many of us that supported you & unfortunatly, there will be those people that like to tear down anyones livelihood. You are amazing, your buisness is amazing-you started it from the ground up at such a short age. No matter what anyone says, you created a loving welcoming community here at TCMC! 💖
Had to pause and comment…who would dare and how could anyone have anything negative, let alone a whole thread, to say about you. You are the sweetest and most kind-hearted person. You have built the most supportive community I’ve ever seen. Seriously, the group that has come together is filled with some of the most caring people. Your group is the only reason I still use social media. Don’t listen to people whose voices don’t matter. You are a beautiful soul and have done so many amazing and wonderful things.
So when you said about the disappointing reddit thread about you...I had to look it up. I found it. Girl....don't let it get to you! Everyone has their own styles/likes/dislikes. There are positive comments in there too! You can't please everyone! Your style is YOU...and lots of us enjoy it! :o) Merry Christmas and don't let those things steal your joy! :)
There will always be haters they are jealous of your work and organizational skills. Be proud of what you have accomplished it’s huge and you are amazing for letting us share that with you. Thank you!!
My lazy butt self could never do this. I don’t know how you juggle all this stuff. We shop at your shop because you are like a friend to us, we like to support you. Kudos to you Helen! Thank you for finding time to make a video on Christmas (well technically before) Merry Christmas ❤ Edit: I’ve never had more than 5 likes before 😂
Literally the first thing I do every morning is check if you posted. I know you post once a week but that video is enough! I love your videos and you are my go to UA-camr and the stuff on your shop is so cute and useful. The stuff from your shop (tabs, vinyls, etc) is sitting on my desk along with my 2023 hobonichi staring at me cause I’m to lazy to set it up 😅
Please Helen, do not pay attention to anyone who writes crap about you. They are the ones with the problem, not you. You are a wonderful person. Some people can’t stand that. Never change. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family.
I love your videos, your stickers are adorable and there is a reason why they are so popular! Unfortunately haters will be haters, but we will support you and your work. Your voice is always so soothing! Hope 2023 is a really successful and happy year for you Helen!
You're going to love Lore Olympus! It's a beautiful retelling of Persephone and Hades mythos. The art is gorgeous and the story is rich and funny. Happy Holidays to the tater fam!
I dont know why but every time I watch your videos, I just feel like sth keep inspiring me to explore my self, my journal self, if u know what I mean, lol. And every time has actually been a few years now. Thank you so much.
I think the Cozy Christmas washi tape is my favorite christmas washi I have. So festive and not overwhelming. Not screaming Red and Green. Stay healthy, safe and warm though the holidays. Merry Christmas to you and your amazing family and team.
Merry Christmas Helen! Totally enjoyed your video and can't wait to choose a subscription! Please ignore the unkind comments, in fact if I were you I would not allow them your time to read what they say. Their opinion does not mean anything in your big picture! You are loved by so many of us and you are such a lovely, generous person who shares her beautiful products with us. You bring us such joy!❤
Such a lovely thing to spend a day with you in a way. Inspiring me to make some videos like that this year as well. The biome sticky notes were soooo dreamy and heavenly to see in bulk! 😂
Happy Holidays Helen! I really love the graphic(s) you made for the subscription options and am glad you included the process for it in this video. It’s freaking adorable! :) I saw the reddit post you mentioned and I can’t imagine how difficult it was to read that 😔 I feel like one of the unfortunate byproducts of becoming more popular is drawing in negative people simply because there are more eyes on you/your business. (ie Like when Olivia Rodrigo/Jenna Ortega’s fame grew so did their haters). I know that it can’t erase what you read, but there are so many of us who love your work. (It’s hard to get my hands on it sometimes! 😂 ) Your company is one of my favorites to support and buy from because of the quality and care you provide. It’s so clear how hard you work and also how much you genuinely care for your customers. That’s (sadly) so rare these days and it’s something I appreciate and respect about you! 💕
Paused the video to say how jazzed I am you started reading Lore Olympus. The art style is beautiful and it's a fun (not always, though 😅) take in Greek mythology. I hope you enjoy it!
I ordered a bunch of Hobonichi kits! I hope that was my order you were packing! I can’t wait to receive my order. I was sorry to hear about the reddit thread. I’m sure it’s easy to say to ignore the haters- but I hope all the love you receive will out weigh those nasty moments. You are amazing!
I stumbled upon your one of your videos and got hooked an subscribed. I Love your videos. Your voice is so relaxing. I just played this video but instead put on my headset and just listened to you while going through my emails. I"ll have to really watch it now because I am curious about your products. I love journaling, but envy you so much with the dedication you have with it. I haven't journaled in the last couple months. I am so happy to have found you. Happy New Year Helen!
Hey, I didn’t see that thread, but I googled to find it and saw one comment that wasn’t so kind, and hoped there weren’t more. I don’t even use a hobonichi planner but tune in to watch you! I still get planner ideas, and your voice is so calm and soothing. Your designs are lovely and your talent and life energy is too. I love seeing how you organize your thoughts and love watching you draw.
Merry Christmas Helen! Don’t waste any of your energy on the Reddit trolls - they just like to whip up drama. We love everything you’ve created and shared with us. Looking forward to the new subscription options. Hugs! 😊❤️
Hey Helen!!!!! Happy new year in advance. I just want to inform you that be happy for what you are and remember progression matters perfection doesn't.
Uhhhh to me , anyone talking bad about anyone else, is just a sad person themselves and want to bring others down with them. Be above them. I am new here and I am livid. You are wonderful! Merry Christmas Helen. You and your family (and team) deserve it ❤
I hope you read a little life when you're in a good mood,man that book wrecked me, It's not my favorite but it will give you all the feels.. and trigger warnings.. 😊 happy holiday helen!!!
Merry Christmas!! Thank you so much for posting weekly videos, I love watching them. Love your content, and love your stickers. My mom and I just ordered more! They make planning in my hobonichi so much fun and your stickers are one of the reasons I was able to stay in one planner for the entire year. Looking forward to 2023!! Hope you're well and have a great week!
I'm new here, but I'm so glad UA-cam recommended me. I've been watching your videos and they are so much help to me. I love your products - as someone who loves design and being "artsy" but doesn't have the talent for it, the stickers and kits give me so much inspiration, and a solid base to build on. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I'm looking forward to getting more into the coffee & potato community in 2023
Your Hobonichi Cousin has gotten so chunky!! I’ve hesitated far too long 😂 and after seeing you use them again, I think this will be the year I finally try fountain pens 💕 Those swatches are gorgeous
Merry Christmas 🎄 Happy Holidays to all. Love these videos and the fact that you thought of everyone who is a little sad or lonely this year. Your for sure a light for some of us who feel we are in the dark
Thank you for sharing your art process! It is so wonderful to see the behind the scenes, your design thinking, and then the final results. It has encouraged my own creativity :) merry Christmas!
Cheers (coffee cups) and Happy Jollydays, Helen! Love the video and since you made cookies, I'm inspired to bake some brownies for later. I actually ordered lots of Hobonichi kits so I was imagining that was one of my orders you were packing smile 😃 😊 I'll get it eventually - in the meantime, it's happy doodling and journaling.
OH! I hope you were packing my order!!! I just got a Hobo Weeks for 2023 and ordered a bunch of stuff from you!!! Excited to get the package! The inks are beautiful, what a sweet friend. Not sure how anyone can write negative things about you - sounds to me like they're jealous. Take care and I hope you and everyone that reads this has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!! 💝
I am really sorry about that reddit thread. It’s easy to say that you should just take it a challenge but I understand it might be really difficult to just foreget about it. Just know that you’re loved and appreciated by your subscribers and customers. Hugs, Helen 🥰 ALSO. THOSE NEW SAILOR INKS. I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THEM! 😍 Thank you for swatching them!
Merry Christmas, to you, Helen, and all the wonderful Tater family. So much to be grateful for in 2022 and to look forward to in 2023....like subscriptions, for one.. teehee
Hope you enjoy A Little Life! I read it when it first came out and still think about it sometimes. For sure a sad book (I don’t know what I was expecting since the cover is someone crying) and a quality read.
Your french is so good! We would say "Tarte aux pommes du McDonald" and "Acheter des produits d'épicerie" but otherwise it's good! Thank you for releasing a video today! 💚
Merry Christmas sweet Helen 🎄 I hope you and your amazingly family have a great day. I’m totally thrilled that you’re finally getting to do a subscription box!! I loved the video and the inks were so gorgeous. Love you 😘
Helen, Bless You and Thank You for the beautiful Christmas Message. You brightened up my Christmas Day and encouraged me to carry on. I saw your FitBit Luxe Watch a while back and ordered one for myself. I love the smaller size for my smaller wrist. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful week and 2023. Catherine from Georgia, USA
Hi Catherine!!! Oh my goodness, please know your comment has made me very happy this morning. I'm glad you are enjoying the FitBit Luxe as well!!! Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! This is very kind and thoughtful of you! Two quotes by poet Morgan Harper Nichols are " I hope you meet a least a few people on this path whom you can share the experience of making one another feel seen" and "be kind to yourself on this journey you have already come so far." She has lots of great poems, quotes, and songs! Thanks for sharing your planning system. I like watching planner videos! However planners, daily list and hourly schedules do not seem to work for me. I seen some people use theme days like Saturday- chores and self-care, Wednesday- work on projects or hobbies or theme meals: Saturday- pizza and Wednesday- soup. I also seen people divide the day into three or four time blocks or routines like morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Maybe just a weekly or monthly list would work. Have you ever used theme days or routines?
Merry Christmas Helen!! Your videos are so inspirational!! I have been procrastinating following my own path and dreams! Your vlogs show a real glimpse into what running a business looks like combined with real life experiences! Thank you for letting us share this journey with you and motivating so many people
oof... never read what other people say about you on the internet. It's terrible for your mental health. Thanks for everything you do. Wishing you a happy and healing 2023.
As always I really liked the video, thank you for your hard work. I'm not the best at french grammar even if it's my first language but the only one thing I could see in your spread that may be inacurate was in the bubble (it would be "tellement fatiguée" with a "e" at the end). Your french is really good ! Wish I was as dedicated as you while learning a new language ^_^' Happy holiday season to you too.
I love lore Olympus, it’s so good! Also i read a little life and personally liked it but it can be a lot to read. So would definitely recommend checking out the tw before starting it
Beautiful video. I’m trying to incorporate this concept on my iPad as a digital planner. Your work is amazing and it’s shows the person you are. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas Helen! 🎄❤️ Just discovered your shop and I'm already absolutely in love with it! Placed my first (and already second because I wanted everything haha) order and I can't wait to receive them! 😍 Thank you for being such a kind hearted person who brings so much joy in their lives ❤️ Can't wait to subscribe to the Snail Parcel subscription already! 😍 I see you use something green underneath your page if you write in your planner? May I ask what that is? Thank you so much in advance! Lots of love from the Netherlands 🤗🥰
Great video 🎉happy holidays 😃I wanted to ask you what kind of pen do you use for writing in your planner at the beginning ? I been looking for something for my hobonichi weeks something dark in ink and that it doesn’t smear
Hi Helen and Happy New Year! I really enjoy your planning videos. They definitely encourage me to keep up with my Hobonichi Cousin every day. I do have a question, what pen, point size (0.7 for example) and ink do you use for your Hobonichi? I have tried every pen that is out there, and the ink just smears on my pages after writing and it is so frustrating. I allow it to dry but sometimes it still smears. I notice that your pen ink is very dark, which is what I like to see on my planner. Thanks in advance.
I have two questions! After saying ur videos are amazing!!!!!! Do you do all your drawings yourself and the other question is how to do you make your own stickers!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Helen. Whoever wrote that nasty piece is insanely envious of you, your talent, your intelligence, your goodness, and your accomplishments. It hurts, but you have to ignore that because none of it is a reflection of you, but of that horrible person. Onto another subject. What is the name of that first ink you swatched? I'm really into green inks these days.
I haven't finished the video, but I needed to stop because I am just appalled that someone would write a TCMC thread so hateful. I want to remind you Helen, that you can be ripest juiciest peach in the world and someone will still not like peaches. You are art is beautiful, the success of your business that keeps growing and growing is a testament to that. Take any comments from where they come from, someone who simply does not like peaches.

I hope that you are able to focus on the great things your business and your art has given your fans and customers, your family and yourself. Merry Christmas to the Tater Fam and to you Helen!!
I stopped to respond too. I was hoping she hadn’t seen the post.
Well said Martha!
I will and continue to be a supporter of Helen and the tater family. She seems very genuine and passionate about her business and her customers. We need more people like Helen in the small business world, she’s a gem 💎
This, 100%! Very well said x
What thread? In the comments?
Didn’t see the thread either

Thank you so much Katy :( I don't like to be the center of talk in general so it was a bit jarring to read haha. I appreciate your support!!!
There will always be haters they are jealous of your work and organizational skills. Be proud of what you have accomplished it’s huge and you are amazing for letting us share that with you. Thank you!!
My lazy butt self could never do this. I don’t know how you juggle all this stuff. We shop at your shop because you are like a friend to us, we like to support

Merry Christmas ❤
Edit:
I’ve never had more than 5 likes before 😂
Awww thank you so much! No no I definitely tried to cram as many fun things in this video as possible
Literally the first thing I do every morning is check if you posted. I know you post once a week but that video is enough! I love your videos and you are my go to UA-camr and the stuff on your shop is so cute and useful.

Hi Helen, I found you have a tender soul. I appreciate the way you are. Happy holidays. 🎉
Happy holidays Joanne, this means so much to me! Take care~
I agree,, Rena is the sweetest person, those sailor inks colors are gorgeous. Merry Christmas tater family and Helen 🌲
Merry Rosalin Rosalin!!!!
I love your videos, your stickers are adorable and there is a reason why they are so popular! Unfortunately haters will be haters, but we will support you and your work. Your voice is always so soothing! Hope 2023 is a really successful and happy year for you Helen!
Thank you so much Lida!!! I hope you have a happy new year as well!
You're going to love Lore Olympus! It's a beautiful retelling of Persephone and Hades mythos. The art is gorgeous and the story is rich and funny. Happy Holidays to the tater fam!
I'm SO excited! Merry Christmas Jacklyn!
I dont know why but every time I watch your videos, I just feel like sth keep inspiring me to explore my self, my journal self, if u know what I mean, lol. And every time has actually been a few years now. Thank you so much.
Oh gosh, this made me so happy! Thank you so much Anna!
Omg lore Olympus is such an awesome read, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!
Ahh I'm so so excited!!!
happy holidays everyone! i hope everyone is staying safe.
and if you're alone know i'm always here for you
I think the Cozy Christmas washi tape is my favorite christmas washi I have. So festive and not overwhelming. Not screaming Red and Green. Stay healthy, safe and warm though the holidays. Merry Christmas to you and your amazing family and team.

Randomly rewatching this and oh man, lore is so good. I hope you enjoy/enjoyed it!

Thank you Shannon! I'm SO excited!! I keep thumbing through the book haha
I ordered a bunch of Hobonichi kits! I hope that was my order you were packing! I can’t wait to receive my order. I was sorry to hear about the reddit thread. I’m sure it’s easy to say to ignore the haters- but I hope all the love you receive will out weigh those nasty moments. You are amazing!
Aww thank you so much for ordering Sandy!!! I appreciate you so much!

Thank you so much
I liked the tissue shape 😊
It does look kind of cool eh?!
That webtoon/comic book looks intriguing! And those inks!!!😮 Gorgeous!!! Love you Baby Bear!
Aren't they GORGEOUS? Thank you!!!!
How beautiful to have snow at Christmas! This is such a cozy wholesome video I just love it!
Thank you Anna!! Nothing more perfect than a white Christmas!
How sweet of you to think of others at Christmas and post a video in case they are alone. I love your vides! You're a very special person.
I hope you read a little life when you're in a good mood,man that book wrecked me, It's not my favorite but it will give you all the feels.. and trigger warnings.. 😊 happy holiday helen!!!

Thank you SO much Melissa! I appreciate your support
Your Hobonichi Cousin has gotten so chunky!! I’ve hesitated far too long 😂 and after seeing you use them again, I think this will be the year I finally try fountain pens 💕 Those swatches are gorgeous
Hahaha do it!!! Fountain pens are so much fun!
Happy holidays to everyone!

Thank you for sharing your art process! It is so wonderful to see the behind the scenes, your design thinking, and then the final results. It has encouraged my own creativity :) merry Christmas!
Thank you Plee, this makes me so happy to hear!
Ahhh I love Lore of Olympus!!!! ❤❤
This makes me excited to dive in!
Merry Christmas Helen!!!
Merry Christmas Tatiana!
Cheers (coffee cups) and Happy Jollydays, Helen! Love the video and since you made cookies, I'm inspired to bake some brownies for later. I actually ordered lots of Hobonichi kits so I was imagining that was one of my orders you were packing smile 😃 😊 I'll get it eventually - in the meantime, it's happy doodling and journaling.
Omg yayy honestly you might have just popped an idea in my head to bake some last minute brownies for today lol. Thank you Charina!
OH! I hope you were packing my order!!! I just got a Hobo Weeks for 2023 and ordered a bunch of stuff from you!!! Excited to get the package! The inks are beautiful, what a sweet friend. Not sure how anyone can write negative things about you - sounds to me like they're jealous. Take care and I hope you and everyone that reads this has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!! 💝
I am really sorry about that reddit thread. It’s easy to say that you should just take it a challenge but I understand it might be really difficult to just foreget about it. Just know that you’re loved and appreciated by your subscribers and customers. Hugs, Helen 🥰
ALSO. THOSE NEW SAILOR INKS. I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THEM! 😍 Thank you for swatching them!
Thank you so much lovely Stacey
What a sweet video! And you're gonna love lore Olympus. The art style is so beautiful and so vibrant in the print books!♥️
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas Sarah!
I purchased items from you before & I love them!
Merry Christmas, to you, Helen, and all the wonderful Tater family. So much to be grateful for in 2022 and to look forward to in 2023....like subscriptions, for one.. teehee
Merry Christmas lovely Denise!! Thank you always for your lovely comments in my videos, I appreciate you!
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo ❤️🤗❤️
Merry Christmas:) thanks so much for this video
Thank you Stareena! Merry Christmas!!!
Hope you enjoy A Little Life! I read it when it first came out and still think about it sometimes. For sure a sad book (I don’t know what I was expecting since the cover is someone crying) and a quality read.
Your french is so good! We would say "Tarte aux pommes du McDonald" and "Acheter des produits d'épicerie" but otherwise it's good! Thank you for releasing a video today! 💚
The Christmas washi is my favorite of all the washi you released so far. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas sweet Helen 🎄 I hope you and your amazingly family have a great day. I’m totally thrilled that you’re finally getting to do a subscription box!! I loved the video and the inks were so gorgeous. Love you 😘
I’ve been reading Lore Olympus!!!
Ooo hope you love it! I haven't started yet
Helen, Bless You and Thank You for the beautiful Christmas Message.
You brightened up my Christmas Day and encouraged me to carry on.
I saw your FitBit Luxe Watch a while back and ordered one for myself.
I love the smaller size for my smaller wrist. Thank you for sharing.
Have a wonderful week and 2023.
Catherine from Georgia, USA
Hi Catherine!!! Oh my goodness, please know your comment has made me very happy this morning. I'm glad you are enjoying the FitBit Luxe as well!!! Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays Helen❣ Happy Holidays to Mama & Papa Tater and the whole Coffee Monsterz Crew❣
Thank you so very much!!! Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas! This is very kind and thoughtful of you! Two quotes by poet Morgan Harper Nichols are " I hope you meet a least a few people on this path whom you can share the experience of making one another feel seen" and "be kind to yourself on this journey you have already come so far." She has lots of great poems, quotes, and songs! Thanks for sharing your planning system. I like watching planner videos! However planners, daily list and hourly schedules do not seem to work for me. I seen some people use theme days like Saturday- chores and self-care, Wednesday- work on projects or hobbies or theme meals: Saturday- pizza and Wednesday- soup. I also seen people divide the day into three or four time blocks or routines like morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Maybe just a weekly or monthly list would work. Have you ever used theme days or routines?
I just got Lore Olympus as well!! I have been on a Hades/ Persephone kick lately.
Great vlog Helen, Happy Holidays.❤
Merry Christmas Helen!! Your videos are so inspirational!! I have been procrastinating following my own path and dreams! Your vlogs show a real glimpse into what running a business looks like combined with real life experiences! Thank you for letting us share this journey with you and motivating so many people
Merry Christmas Helen! 🎄❤️
Merry Christmas lovely Brianna!!!
Omg! I have Lore Olympus on my reading list too.❤

Thank you!
Merry Christmas! It has been another wonderful Year with your weekly posts! Hope 2023 is better ❤
Merry Christmas and a happy new year XY!!!!!!
Merry Christmas Helen. ❤
Ink swatches are so fun. I use the back of a glass dip pen. I am always on the lookout for other ways to swatch!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Helen. Sending my love to you and the rest of the Tater fam!
Merry merry Christmas Gwen!!!! Lots of love to you
Have happy holidays Helen! Your designs are super cute and clearly made with love!
A Little Life is an incredible book! But really heavy. So on days when life is a bit too much, not the best book to pick up.
Ahh I didn't realize how impactful it is! Will definitely be cautious!
oof... never read what other people say about you on the internet. It's terrible for your mental health. Thanks for everything you do. Wishing you a happy and healing 2023.
Merry Xmas, Helen! Can’t wait to see more of you using your Hobonichi Weeks!
Merry Christmas!!! I'm excited too, it'll be a fun journey to find my style!
I hope you have a good holiday season too. ❤
Happy Holidays! Thank you for posting. 🫶🏽
Happy holidays Dici! It's my pleasure!!!
As always I really liked the video, thank you for your hard work.
I'm not the best at french grammar even if it's my first language but the only one thing I could see in your spread that may be inacurate was in the bubble (it would be "tellement fatiguée" with a "e" at the end).
Your french is really good !
Wish I was as dedicated as you while learning a new language ^_^'
Happy holiday season to you too.
Thank you SO much for the correction!!!!
Merry Christmas Helen thank you for all you do🎄💋🎄
Merry Christmas Carmen!!!
I love Kore! Hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Desi!
Merry Christmas! ❤️✨🥰
Merry Christmas Kellye!!!
I love lore Olympus, it’s so good!
Also i read a little life and personally liked it but it can be a lot to read. So would definitely recommend checking out the tw before starting it
Thank you so much for the heads-up Kylee!!! Excited for my upcoming reads~
Merry Christmas to you and the family!! Love you so much!! Thanks for all you do! We appreciate you!!❤️ p.s. YOUR NAILS LOOK AMAZING!!!!
Beautiful video. I’m trying to incorporate this concept on my iPad as a digital planner. Your work is amazing and it’s shows the person you are. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Happy Holidays
You are so sweet, thank you!!!! I'm glad you found some inspo in this!
I now this is an old video but by any chance do you remember when pen you used? I love the way it writes.
OMG HELEN!!! 'A little life' is my favorite book, please give us your review when you're done. I beg youuuuuu
Merry Christmas Helen! 🎄❤️ Just discovered your shop and I'm already absolutely in love with it! Placed my first (and already second because I wanted everything haha) order and I can't wait to receive them! 😍 Thank you for being such a kind hearted person who brings so much joy in their lives ❤️ Can't wait to subscribe to the Snail Parcel subscription already! 😍 I see you use something green underneath your page if you write in your planner? May I ask what that is? Thank you so much in advance! Lots of love from the Netherlands 🤗🥰
Great video 🎉happy holidays 😃I wanted to ask you what kind of pen do you use for writing in your planner at the beginning ? I been looking for something for my hobonichi weeks something dark in ink and that it doesn’t smear
Hello!! i'm using the energel clena 0.4mm refills!! it definitely still does smear though, I'm just extra careful!
I did see a few people comment on Reddit that they didn’t like your shop. It was a bit sad.
Hi Helen and Happy New Year! I really enjoy your planning videos. They definitely encourage me to keep up with my Hobonichi Cousin every day. I do have a question, what pen, point size (0.7 for example) and ink do you use for your Hobonichi? I have tried every pen that is out there, and the ink just smears on my pages after writing and it is so frustrating. I allow it to dry but sometimes it still smears. I notice that your pen ink is very dark, which is what I like to see on my planner. Thanks in advance.
LOL!! Helen please disregard my message. I just noticed that you have the pens listed on this vlog. Thank you for sharing this information. :)
It first looked like you made abstract art with the first ink
Helen what pen are u using with the needle point? Looks very inky and smooth.
I'm using an energel clena 0.4mm refill!
Thankyou💕
I have two questions! After saying ur videos are amazing!!!!!! Do you do all your drawings yourself and the other question is how to do you make your own stickers!!
Yes I do the drawings! I use a silhouette machine ^_^
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo you go girl!!!! 🥰 And thank you for responding. Sending you all the blessings from California 🌴🎄🌴🎁🎁
yayya I'm actually early :D
What do you do with all your books after you read them? I switched to a Kindle but I miss holding real books!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Helen. Whoever wrote that nasty piece is insanely envious of you, your talent, your intelligence, your goodness, and your accomplishments. It hurts, but you have to ignore that because none of it is a reflection of you, but of that horrible person. Onto another subject. What is the name of that first ink you swatched? I'm really into green inks these days.
