I love journalling vlogs like this, so glad to hear that this will be a series! Such a fun and cosy video 🥰 Also, in Word there is a function to resize an image by typing in the dimensions you want. I found this handy when I wanted specific dimensions 🙂 (Apologies if you already know this!)
Canva also has a similar feature which I recently discovered! I had looked before but couldn’t find it. Has made my life so much easier when printing photos for my journalling! 🙂
I really like your example Mother's Day spread! It reminds me of that safety disclaimer at the end of movies, like "No mothers were harmed in the making of this journal sample".
🤣 I did end up doing one in my actual journal with my actual mum in it at the workshop, when I flip through that journal I’ll have to put a sticker over her face!
For sizing book covers in word I always right click on the image and pick "size and position", that lets you type in for example 2cm height and it changes it to that size exactly 💖
The joy I feel every time I see someone using a travelers notebook!!!!! Also, love the video! "Stationary social" sounds amazing! I wish we had those here!
So tempted to see if I can get a sticker social group going when we move - you guys have so much fun. I'll have to see if it's possible! Also - I love that you're memory keeping in your journal. I started doing the same in my daily/long form journal a few months ago, and it's so nice to be able to look back on photos and things to remember events.
I truly couldn’t recommend it enough Becka! I know when this group first started the physical store didn’t exist yet, so they just met in cafes and libraries 💕
Loved this style of video Erin, it was so fun to watch! Also loved the journal kits you made, they were so so cute! I wish I had a bullet journal meet up group near me, that would be so fun! Maybe I’ll start one 🤔
In case you don’t know : when in Word if you double click the picture you have a sizing menu that show in the menu bar. You can then just write 2 cm in the width option… or any other width or height. I find it is quicker and less bungling in my case.
I love this volg ❤ your bubbly personality really shines through... I did have to check my shelves... in case my A&O embroidery square Notebook had fallen through the portal 😂.... it's sooo gorgeous! We both have amazing taste ❤
I'm trying bullet journaling this year and have kept up with it so far ~ sort of. I don't use the planner pages for much other than noting holidays, birthdays, and some special events. So I may scale those back to one spread only. I only have three habit trackers: journaling, home (cleaning/projects), and adventure (get out of the house). Those are working for me! I have space for monthly memory highlights. My main journal is nothing but memory keeping and is where I spend most of my journaling and creative time. I wish I could find more videos dedicated to decorating such journals, but everything I see is bullet journals, planners, and reading journals. Yours are so pretty! Maybe I'm searching the wrong keywords. I'm not sure what my style is called. It's not really a scrapbook journal or an art journal. It's full of feelings, memories, and thought organizing. Therapy with flair!
I love your collage spreads. I do two full spreads at the end of every month. I go through my phone's gallery for the month, print off mini photos and collage all my favourite memories. when I first started Bullet journaling, other than a calendar, this was all my journal consisted of haha!!
I also had to have that Heirloom Journal. I have no idea what I am going to do with it. I have so many Archer and Olive journals just waiting for attention. I have decided to set up a reading journal separate from my bullet journal. Now to choose which one to use. Not the Heirloom, that is waiting for something super special.
Of course, your favorite band is my favorite band.... since i was 10. I want to see them in person SO BAD!!!! did Paris Jackson open for them there?? Brandon Boyd has been my crush for just as long. STELLAR is my absolute favorite song of theirs. Ahhh so jelly!!!
You HAVE to see them Randi, they’re so incredible! They’re kind of the reason my partner and I met waaaay back in 2005 so they’re really special to us 🥰 we’ve seen them on every Aussie tour since then except one, so I think 5 times now? This was a mini-festival so no Paris Jackson, but they co-headlined with Live and were supported by 3 iconic Aussie bands which was great! And they did play Stellar! 😍 such a beautiful song! Morning View is my fav record of theirs so it was wonderful to get to hear some Morning View XXIII tracks too! Keeping everything crossed they bring that tour to us, and bring Coheed and Cambria along too! 😍
Loving the Vlog and the memory book. I’ve been using my travels as my inspiration for decorating my months and weeks, etc. A different city or country each month. It’s been super fun and a great trip down memory lane. I’ve already bought a dedicated memory journal to start on 😂
I live in Europe and I ordered stationary from an Aussie brand, DAMN, the shipping and custom, it has more than double the price of the items but there is such nice stuff from Aussie shops.
Hmmm…I know they have names, but I didn’t pay too much attention to them. One is a medium to large brown tote for work. And the other is a small blue one that I’m calling my summer purse. They are both lovely.
ok, it's been 30 mins already?? I watched the whole thing without blinking :D I LOOOOVE this type of videos! So cozy and entertaining with all the stationery but also chatting and showing a bit of real life! P.S. watching you here in Ukraine, d r e a m i n g I could ever get my hands on this type of gorg stationery and notebooks! Love and hugs!
So I was disappointed you did not say “the rug really tied the room together” from The Big Lebowski😅 I started memory journaling but in individual long-term journals. I have one for travels/day trip and one for shows/cinema/theatre. I am just starting this year so not a lot to report yet but I am sure that I will be happy to look at them and reminisce soon enough. Can’t wait to receive my Archer & Olive journals. Should be shipping soon but has a long way to travel.
hahhhahaaa welcome to the dark side.. xD it all started with memory keeping in my bujo xD now i have an entirely different journal like my bujo and my reading journal i prepare spreads monthly and have recaps etc... and now i got 3 books. i got archer and olive neapolitan to spice it up a little, guess which one is my fave :D my bujo started being redundant recently other than tracking some events and habits :D:D basicaly my bujo gave birth to my memory journal heh xD do i regret it hell noo :D:D:D its genuinely amazing feeling to check back your memories :) i highly suggest to anyone who loves writing and stationary :)
I hope they get them out soon, it sucks to wait for journals - especially if you have plans for them and want to start using them! These wholesale deals with global stockists must happen months in advance for us to have them in Australia now 🥲
I'm not sure if this works in the Mac version of word, but in the PC version there's an option in the image menu where you can enter the desired dimensions of the image. I'm not sure if it's easier than dragging the images but if you want a specific size it might be?
Hi, Erin, I can't remember in what video of yours I've seen it (cause I'm just binge watching them now), could you please tell me how are the stickers that may be tranfered to the paper called? (stickers that leave a picture on the paper and then you remove the sticker from the page) I tried to find them on Aliexpress but I don't know how exactly they are called (or maybe you'd be so kind to send a link to them?)
You did such a good job describing them! They’re called transfer stickers usually, I used them in my May reading journal stats pages so there are some linked in the description of that video 🥰
An Australian stockist - I assume they have some kind of wholesale order system for stationery stores around the world, so Washi Gang probably had these on order months ago too 🥲
As you lit the candle ( 13:40 ) I got to thinking about how I miss when I'd put an extinguished match down without fear, whereas now that I'm older and live in a region prone to extreme forest fires I still dip it in water before throwing it out. No lingering enjoyment, here. *sad face *

We are very very lucky to have Jessie and Stash World in Brisbane! I hope the idea takes off around the world so everyone can have stationery socials!
0:38 the way Mitsu looks at you
He is the sweetest little soul 💕
I really like this vlog format, I think it's perfect for starting a little cozy journal session at home and feeling like hanging out together?
I love that so much - let's hang out again next month! It's a standing date now haha

I loved all of this. Also, I live in Leura and am so glad you liked our little town. 🧡🍂
We had some VERY good ice cream in Leura! 😍 your little corner of the world is so beautiful!

Very fun vlog. I enjoy the inspiration I get from your videos. 😊
This makes me so happy to hear!
Thank you for the vlog and all the other videos you upload. They are always such an enjoyable time to watch. 😊
I know this video is a bit different but I love it! I feel like we’re being allowed to see behind the scenes 🙈
I love this volg ❤ your bubbly personality really shines through...
I did have to check my shelves... in case my A&O embroidery square Notebook had fallen through the portal 😂.... it's sooo gorgeous! We both have amazing taste ❤
Do you know what you’ll use yours for yet? I don’t usually get notebook paralysis but I really don’t know how I’ll get started on her!
@@ErinSmith Oh I'm totally petrified to use it and 'ruin' it! For the moment I'm just admiring it.
SUCH a fun video !!! I thoroughly enjoyed ! 😍 I hope to meet you one day in Australia ! 🥰
-Jessica
Thanks Jess! I’ve been loving watching your journey across the Pacific. Definitely give me a shout if you’re in my sunburnt country anytime! 😍
@@ErinSmith Omg ! No way ! I really had no idea ! I’ll surely send you a DM when in Sunny Aussie 😎
I love deckled edges on paper, that's so cool!! 🥰
It was such a lovely little surprise!

What an amazing journal haul!!!! I love new journals!!!! You have such a fabulous collection of washi tape. Loved this video! Enjoy!

I feel the same Tara - no idea what its purpose will be yet! I hope you love your reading journal journey! 😍

YESSSS A VLOG VID!!! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE WHEN YOU MAKE THESE
I’m so glad you like them! I love making them too 🥰
Enjoyed virtually hanging out with you & Mitsu. You always have loads of great ideas!
I live in Europe and I ordered stationary from an Aussie brand, DAMN, the shipping and custom, it has more than double the price of the items but there is such nice stuff from Aussie shops.
Same for us but in reverse - anything from Europe or the US costs an arm and a leg 🤣 we’re just very far away!
Loved this! Thank you for blogging!
Thanks for watching! 🥰🥰
I love all your videos and this one is not the exception! There’s just something special about vlogs I love so much!❤
I'm so glad Antz! I love making them too! ❤
Because of you, I now have two Teddy Blake purses. 😂😂😂😂
Aww! Which ones did you get? 😍
Hmmm…I know they have names, but I didn’t pay too much attention to them. One is a medium to large brown tote for work. And the other is a small blue one that I’m calling my summer purse. They are both lovely.
That makes me so happy to hear! I’m thinking about getting a smaller one for everyday too 😍

It’s so much fun! I don’t know if I can see myself starting a new journal for it but never say never 🤣
SERIOUSLY! I live in Texas and I STILL don’t have my A&O back order! Lucky 😢

I am stalking the cabinet of curiosities collection soon to be stocked in a local retailer 😂 still haven’t gone “on sale” yet
I hope you get everything you’re after! 😍
@@ErinSmith Thank you Sweetie 🫶🏻
Good morning Erin and Mitsu! 💕
Goodnight Shannon! 🥰😴

How did you get the embroidered 8x8????I ordered mine in February and they said they couldn't ship until May!!!

Where is this shop at in what city. I'm moving to Sydney next year would love to come for an event like that .
It’s in Brisbane, which is where I’m based 🥲 if you’re ever visiting they’re well worth popping in! Stash World in Fortitude Valley!
@@ErinSmith awesome if I ever go there will definitely stop by 😀
