@@Wholelatteplans hi Elyse, thank you, it kind of makes sense to me but took me a while to work it out LOL :) slow learner I am! Thank you so much for watching 😊
Hi Jayne. I always love your monthly recaps and especially the ramblings. Your journal is definitely on the “chunky” side.😂 As always, I’m always so impressed at the amount of pens you write dry. Enjoy the rest of your week!
@@Tina.Journals hi Tina, thank you 🙏🏻 I’m glad you enjoy them. It’s definitely on the chunky side, I think it would be great for people who only use pens in their journals, but for those of us that like to stick things in, probably not. Anyway, it’s all a learning exercise, can’t say I haven’t enjoyed it, it’s been great using something different this year. Thank you for watching my friend, hope you are taking care of yourself and have a great week 😊
Thank you, Jayne - for being a ray of sunshine. I appreciate you and I love your ramblings (I think the "Diamine Ancient Coffee" is actually Ancient _*Copper*_. I had to look it up because I was excited at the prospect of a coffee themed ink that I do not already have in my collection. Sadly Ancient Coffee doesn't exist... even though it totally should).
@@storge306 oh you are right Steve, it is Ancient Copper, don’t mind me 🤦🏼♀️ I believe Colorverse has brought out a new one called “Smells like Coffee” which is a scented ink and apparently does smell like coffee ☕️ Have you got that one? Thank you so much for tuning in and watching, I hope you have a great week 😊
The GVFC Moss Green is very high up my ink wishlist, i think it would be great for my garden planner (I believe it's water resistant, but it's also just a great colour). You always have such a great selection of inks on the go! With the Hobonichi getting chunky, if you otherwise like the format of the Cousin, I would strongly recommend staying with Hobonichi but switching to the A5 Avec next year. It's the same layout, but split into two books of 6 months each, basically for the people who love to stick things in and think the regular all in one gets too big!
Hi there, yes that makes perfect sense re the Hobonichi Avec. Darla below has just mentioned the same thing. I will definitely look into that. The GVFC Moss Green is such a beautiful ink to write with and performs well in any pen I put it in. I can highly recommend it :) Thank you so much for watching and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
Congrats on receiving your first lot of $$ from YT Jayne. I'm so glad I got to inspire both you and Louise (even if I only ever did a couple of videos that never were very successful other than for myself and my friends). I think you've inspired me to go back to the a5 Hobo. I prefer the a6, but I do miss that I can't put in the bigger and chunkier things and I miss the vertical weekly fun (I actually also miss the fact that my journal legit weighed a kilo after the year was done haha). So maybe I can do some common planning in that and normal journaling too..... food for thought
@@becwrites hi Bec, thank you for all those tips. Yes I quite like the A5 size, just think it would be better divided into two maybe, so the Avec. It’s all great fun working it out though. Maybe one day when you have more time you will get back to recording videos. Take care lovely and have a great week 😊
Congratulations on YT earnings. Twsbi makes an excellent pen, IMO. I’m after and red and a transparent green (I’ll be add them to my Christmas pens.They will be used year round). Have a great weekend.
Thank you Jane, I never thought it would happen so am quite excited! I think the transparent green and red would make wonderful additions to your collection, especially to use with your other Christmas pens. Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend :)
@@mybibliofiles yes I’m really enjoying it, don’t mind the marks on it or patina, rather like an old friend it is starting to show character 😊 Thank you so much for watching!
That Peach looks pretty close to buttered popcorn! Why would they discontinue that ink? Crazy. Have you tried folding a bit of your Hobo back on itself until it evens out and you don't have a hump? It really helps!
@@cerealnana ooh thanks for the tip, I’ll give it a go! I know, I don’t why they discontinued it either, people love the Buttered Popcorn 🍿 Hope you’re feeling a bit better lovely 🥰
Would you consider using a Hobonichi Avec for next year? I use one as well as a Traveler’s notebook, but I really enjoy the Avec more because I love the paper.
@@Susansinksanddrills hi Susan, I tend to use the Travelers Notebook 013 Lightweight Paper insert which has Tomoe River Paper so it’s kind of the same but without the grid.
HI Rob it is a great colour! And flows well in the variety of pens that I have tried it in. What pen do you plan on putting it in? Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you so much for watching :)
@@robbourne1950 I think that’s what I ended up with but wrote others dry along the way. I still have a fair few inked up that may be carried forward to August. 20 inked is a good number though, gives you a lot of variety 😊
Hi Darla, is that the one that is broken up into January-June and July-Dec? In two parts? Mine is the A5 size and I thought it would work ok, but its now turning into a bit of a chunky monkey LOL ;)
Jayne, How did you decide on GVFC Moss Green? Do you happen to know how it compares to Deep Sea Green? The bottles are 75ml so I don’t want to buy both. Thanks Arlie
@@arliemoses4272 hi Arlie, I don’t have the Deep Sea Green so can’t really compare, but I do love the Moss Green. It’s quite a deep green, darker than the Ferris Wheel Press Spruce County Post if that helps to give you an idea. I find the GVFC inks to be well balanced and good quality. Hope this helps Arlie, let me know what you decide 😊
I loveeee the way your hobonichi weekly and daily pages look!!! Such a beautiful idea to use all the different colors on each page!
@@Wholelatteplans hi Elyse, thank you, it kind of makes sense to me but took me a while to work it out LOL :) slow learner I am! Thank you so much for watching 😊

Gosh this is such a neat way of keeping track of currently inked pens...
@@Nerdygram thank you 🙏🏻 If I don’t keep track I lose track of what I have in each pen 😂
The patina on your natural TSL is lovely. I am using a brown one and I'd love to have a natural one someday. 🤩
@@mybibliofiles yes I’m really enjoying it, don’t mind the marks on it or patina, rather like an old friend it is starting to show character 😊 Thank you so much for watching!
@@jppenandink Absolutely! An old friend. I call mine "Brownie" and she has battle scars and life marks from journeying with me for the past year. 🤎
@@mybibliofiles such a good companion 😊

@@anitaanglin hi Anita, they are very similar so that’s good! Thank you so much for watching, have a wonderful week 😊
I'm having the same problem with my Hobo. I'm going to use A5 notebooks next year.
@@raybuck yes it seems to work well for some. I think I just stick far too many things in 🤦🏼♀️
Hey Jayne. That Waterman Tender Purple is a nice color. I just got that one a week ago. Every flat surface is getting purple ink next month. 😅 💜
HI Rob it is a great colour! And flows well in the variety of pens that I have tried it in. What pen do you plan on putting it in? Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you so much for watching :)
@@jppenandink I have a TWSBI ECO transparent purple that I am most likely going to put that in. The nib is F so I think that will work for me.
@@robbourne1950 oh good choice!
@@jppenandink I counted the number of swatches you had on your paper. Do you currently have 34 pens inked? 🤯 I am going to try for 20 in August.
@@robbourne1950 I think that’s what I ended up with but wrote others dry along the way. I still have a fair few inked up that may be carried forward to August. 20 inked is a good number though, gives you a lot of variety 😊
I like to use the Hobonichi Cousin size Avec, so I can use the stickers and things in there.
Hi Darla, is that the one that is broken up into January-June and July-Dec? In two parts? Mine is the A5 size and I thought it would work ok, but its now turning into a bit of a chunky monkey LOL ;)
@@jppenandink Yes, they are 6 months each. That works much better than the year in one book when you like to add things.
@@darlamaple6319 that makes sense. Thank you Darla 😊
Jayne,
How did you decide on GVFC Moss Green? Do you happen to know how it compares to Deep Sea Green?
The bottles are 75ml so I don’t want to buy both.
Thanks
Arlie
@@arliemoses4272 hi Arlie, I don’t have the Deep Sea Green so can’t really compare, but I do love the Moss Green.

Hope this helps Arlie, let me know what you decide 😊
Perfect. I’ll order a bottle!!
@@arliemoses4272 I imagine the Deep Sea Green may be more teal leaning.
that was very kind of you Jayne 🩷 The natural light is perfect.
@@DebraDarkandTwisty oh good, I am always worried that it’s not enough light. Enjoy the rest of your weekend lovely 😊
