I bought a Webster’s Pages Planner, 6 Ring Binder, Undated Pages with Snap Closure from friend Wendy on You Tube, she decorated it and now it is a Wendy Original for 2024. I watch all your videos, I also love your voice. 📔📕📖📗📘📙📚📓
📖 I use a A6 Leuchtturm as a BuJo. I love the small format so much. It makes it easy to carry around. And the pages are so easly filled. Really released me from the stress (I , completely unnecessary, put my self on) of creating perfect spreads. For work I will use a hobonichi Cousin Avec for the first time. The Hobonichi just looked likenit could work really well for me. We'll see if it does.
📚 love this theme! You talk about balance and I've learned a lot about balancing my own collages from watching you *~the collage queen~* Cannot wait for the advent calendars!!! For posting, maybe you could share day of with a warning/spoiler alert ahead of time ?
Your collages are always so very pleasant to look at, these being no expection. Really loved your take on an academia vibe. My journal for next year is the dark green soft velvet cover A5 journal from Notebook Therapy that i believe you also have used as a journal in the past. I really loved the look of it and felt like having something classy, and the green and gold combination certainly feels like it. 📖
📔 It’s so adorable! 😍 It’s actually funny for me that you did a theme like that, because I designed mine in a academia style but also with some Fall elements and then your video popped up and I was like ohh lool wtf it’s so similar!😂😍☺️🤗 Aaand I was hoping that you will do some more academia stickers at some point & now you really did!! I love them soooo much! Can’t wait to buy them😍🤎✨🕯️🕰️
lovely spread hedda! what i really love about light/dark/general academia themes is that everyone has a different definition of what that means. i really like what you did with it. can't wait to see what your next notebook will be 📖
Gorgeous ❤ I adore Dark and Light Academia. I ran to your shop once it was announced with the new Academia collection ❤ I was actually in class at Uni 😂 📖 🖊️
📖📚 Always love your videos and themes so much! I get excited for the next year's bullet journal... Basically as soon as I start a new one 😅 I decided to change up when I start a new journal too, and want to start my new one in December since I got really into seasonal planning and otherwise my pages don't really line up and it's not that useful. I also went back to the typical leuchtturm1917 notebook with basic 80gsm paper, even though I like to be creative. But I figured that I always hold back a little bit with creating pages and just writing stuff down in the way I want to, if a notebook has for example 160 pages. And since the leuchtturm1917 has around 240 pages, I figured that this is more important to me than a pretty notebook with thick pages. I used this notebook for the second half of this year as well and it made me so nostalgic. Anyway, I totally understands how much joy this brings you - as a total notebook nerd I feel exactly the same! I'm already excited to see what you come up with for your 2024 set up ☺️
Absolutely gorgeous theme! As always. I'm so excited for my calender. We know it's your first time so a few issues here and there are only to be expected. But of course we trusted you with the contents! You've never let us down yet with your creations. I just ordered from you again last night actually 😂 I need to prove up what I spend each month vs what a higher patreon tier would cost because I'm buying all the exclusives anyway! I feel like I'm being kind of an idiot not just bumping myself up.
Love this collage, at first I thought the picture was Whitby abbey, all dark and brooding 😊. I may have to set up a larger notebook just to collage as it always looks so pretty ❤
📕I have room for 1, maybe 2, more months in my current journal, so I just placed my order for the replacement. I purchase the Leuchtturm1917 A5 dot grid notebook with120 GSM, in the colour "Rising Sun" (mustard yellow). It's the exact same as the one I'm using right now, except it's "Nordic Blue". It's a nice combo of reliable quality, affordable for me, and predictable shipping times to my country📚📖 I love your November theme, this is like what my October theme has been.
Coming back to watch these earlier videos, such a lovely style. I hope to try this collage style of decorating my journal. You make it look so easy but I think it will be quite the challenge for me!😊📕📙📒📗📘
For my 1st 2024 journal I decided to finally get my first high end journal from A&O - it’s from their Halloween release, the spell book! I just loved the design too much to not get it! (For my other journals… I decided so far! ❤) 📖
My new journal is an Archer and Olive 192 pages!! Gives me so room for extras!! In the setup and throughout the year. Well 6 months lol. I've been putting little things that will be used like stickers and scrap papers to use in the set up with it.
📚Oh no, I missed your advent calendar! I'm new to your channel, but I really love your art! I hope you'll show the items of the advent caldendar on youtube, too! Maybe as shorts the day after? I'm still very curious about your products, maybe I get the chance to order one next year :D Your setup for november is very pretty btw :) 📚
I'm nearing the end of my 2nd ever bullet journal, and I can fit up to the end of November if I'm frugal with my space lol. I was a little frustrated that I didn't think ahead and just ended my current journal at the end of September lol - I like spacing out my years in quarters. My current journal is a Passion Journal from Passion Planner, and it's 120 gsm with 210 pages. I managed to fit March - October in it so far. I love Passion Planner and have used their planners and journals since their Kickstarter days, and their products are really good quality but honestly, it was too expensive this time around to justify my buying it again lmao Anywho, I ended up going with Scribbles that Matter for my next one, I did the math and to fit at least six months in a journal, I need one that had at least 190 pages, and finding one that had that many pages and was at least 120 gsm was difficult lol. But Scribbles that Matter does, so I'm excited to give that a try. Plus it was a decent price too :)
📖 I use B5 Kokuyo Campus smart ring notebooks for my bujo. The paper is too thin for markers, but it takes stickers and collages very well. I also love the “dot-ruled” paper, because it gives me the best of both worlds between ruled and dot grid paper.
I'm an Archer & Olive girl for bujos, but for 2024 I thought I'd shake it up a bit with a journal that has BROWN paper rather than the usual white. Should make the designs a bit more interesting!
I bought an Ottergram notebook to use in 2024. I thought I might enjoy the slightly off-white paper again and it has 192 pages when I usually use notebooks with 160 pages. It should be fun!
i got my 2024 journal from notebook therapy! its a brown academia ish one - i wanted a darker coloured cloth cover because mine this year was white and latex and it got SOOOO dirty. I'm excited to start working on it once my exams are over HAHA 🥳
I always await your premières... and then something happens and I can't be there , so the next day as soon as I have the time I watch your videos and the never disappoint! 📚
Beautiful work, as always! I've been using A5 as my go-tos, but I'm flipping the script for 2024 and using a travelers size for the challenge and ease of carrying
📚 As always…So pleasant listening to your voice, loved those windows a lot, dark academia atmosphere is always a win win! Can’t wait to see your next videos! 📚
📚📖 I'm also doing dark academia for November, setting up this week! Definitely taking some inspiration from this, love it ❤. As for next year, I've bought my reading journal, which is a Yop & Tom. 2023 was my first year bullet journaling, so I got a cheap journal from Stationery Island, which has actually been really good, except it's 120gsm which means I had some bleed through and ghosting especially earlier in the year when I was first getting used to the process. Yop & Tom journals are 160gsm, so I'm looking forward to being a bit neater next year. My main journal I am still deciding, I'm going to London next week to do book and stationery shopping and hoping to find something then 😊
I have my next bujo, I went with the archer and olive book themed bujo from the fall. I did notebook therapy the last 2 years, so wanted to give A&O a go. I did go with a seqes for my reading journal however. I used them in 2021 and it held up great:) u also used marigona suli washi and stickers for the reading bujo setup. Pink and purple books and witches was so fun! 📖
I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a journal/agenda the way I do. I use a traveler's notebook and I use a spread per month. I've used agendas for years (yeaars) and I've always hated to waste pages, traditional agendas have way too much space and I don't annotate every single thing of my day, I just can't because I don't do everything and I have the reminder of that, I procrastinate too much and some days are good and some not so good (a problem with mental health), so it has been a try and error kind of situation, long story short: I came to the conclusion that the best thing that works for me is to have a month at a glance kind of spread. On one page is a calendar with spaces between weeks where I annotate appointments and such, on the other page is my to do lists and what ever I may need, tracker maybe. This year was challenging for me as I need to make room for other tasks but they just don't fit in my small notebook, therefore I'm thinking what should I do for next year, I don't want to change the format because the traveler's notebook size is just perfect for my space. I've been loving your past two months spreads as an inspiration for what I may do next year, actually. I don't know if this happens to others but the action of turning the page complicates my mind, I forget things if they're not in the same page, so dutch doors and such are a good compromise I think.
I have a lovely notebook therapy dark blue velvety book waiting for next year. I am going back to more expensive thicker paper notebooks for next year after a few years now of books from tgr. I am excited to do some dutch doors and some other cut outs that the thin paper I have now cant handle. 📚
I love it! 😍 📚 I’ve been trying to find more sticker/collage style journals! There are so many hand drawn out there and I just don’t have the time unfortunately.
My journal for next year is going to be an Archer and Olive A5 with 192 pages, specifically it's one of the halloween designs from last year, black with blue glitter, a silver spider web design, and silver gilded edges. I'm currently using its burgundy witch hat twin this year and I like how the journal can easily last me an entire year, the pages are high quality and bright white and it's got a elastic strap and penloop which is helpful when I have to travel with it. Theoretically I have a lot of journals to choose from (I also have all three of the currently released seasonal nootbook therapy notebooks from this year, the komorebi notebook, and another A+O halloween journal that I had to preorder when it sold out quickly.), but I think aside from the preordered Halloween journal, I'm interested in transitioning to Notebook Therapy notebooks going forward since they're a bit smaller and often have motifs I like more. Plus I think it would be super fun to one year do a year of seasonal NT journals and fill one per season, since theyre in the original size and smaller than an A5. The goal is to use a journal that I already have since i seem to buy around 5 journals a year and only fill about 3 a year. (My currently journal line up is a long-term collections, reading journal, and business card journal that each last me longer than a single year, My Bujo which lasts for 1 year, a homework notebook just for assignments and meeting notes which looks like it'll last for about 3 semesters, and then a diary style notebook with daily entries which seem to last me about every 6 months.)
I totally support using a notebook you already have! I think we all struggle with buying too many notebooks haha! I'm also planning on using a notebook I already have, because I got them for a reason; I wanted to use them! hahah I think the A&O notebooks are fantastic!!
📚📘☕ love your setup. felt like i was in my own little private reading corner
I bought a Webster’s Pages Planner, 6 Ring Binder, Undated Pages with Snap Closure from friend Wendy on You Tube, she decorated it and now it is a Wendy Original for 2024. I watch all your videos, I also love your voice. 📔📕📖📗📘📙📚📓
the brown with pops of red is such a nice aesthetic 📕
Your kitty-on-the-book-stack sticker is purr-fect! 📒
📖 I use a A6 Leuchtturm as a BuJo. I love the small format so much. It makes it easy to carry around. And the pages are so easly filled. Really released me from the stress (I , completely unnecessary, put my self on) of creating perfect spreads.

So warm and cozy. I want to crawl into a big comfy chair and write in it!! 📚
The first video I've watched from you. What BEAUTIFUL spreads, love'em 🌟🌟✨️🌟🌟 Lovely theme! Väldigt fina journal sidor! 📚 📘📔
/Ditte 🤓 🇸🇪
I love your collages and your stickers! Would love to see you reveal your advent calendar products the day after, that would be fun!
I definitely want to show them! Doing it the day after is probably the safest, so everyone can have a chance to open their first :)
The November Sticker is so cute!
Thank you so much!
this is really cute! I'm doing a b5 for next year, as a bujo/reading journal combo project, so I'll see how that goes haha
Lovely theme! I would love to see you making a magical girl (mahou shoujo) theme for your next bujo

That's a beautiful notebook!! I loved using it, it feels so nice when your journal is pretty and classy like that. I'd totally use it again haha!
I'll be using the A&O Halloween 2021 Dragon notebook! I've been saving this notebook to use next year because it will be the year of the dragon! :D 📚
Ooh what a perfect notebook for 2024!!
Yayyyy🎉📚 your videos are like candies for the mind. You're sweet. Thank you
Aaah that's such a lovely compliment, thank you! So happy you enjoy my videos

Oh absolutely! I feel like it's an "aesthetic" that doesn't have really strict rules, so you can take it in pretty much any direction!:)
The craft paper calendar looks super cute!
Gorgeous ❤ I adore Dark and Light Academia. I ran to your shop once it was announced with the new Academia collection ❤ I was actually in class at Uni 😂 📖 🖊️
📚Nicely done Hedda.
Love the castle views, very atmospheric! 📚
Lovely spreads this month, Hedda! 🔖
This theme was sooo pretty!! For next year I got the notebook therapy travellers notebook with a little bee on it 🐝 I'm so excited to use it!! 📚
Oooh I have that one too! It's so gorgeous!
I just started recently my own bullet journal, and was looking for November inspiration. Your video was so soothing and relaxing.
Lovely! It looks so good. 📖

Oh that's so fun!!
I was reluctant to do autumn theme for November but ig I can do it too 📚🍁🍂
This was absolutely gorgeous!! 📕📖
I have just seen this. I have bought an Archer and Olive Neopolitan notebook because of your gorgeous 2022 reading journal.
Best part of the weekend: a Hedda video for my me time 🥰😍🤩❤️
It came out so pretty 📚
What beautiful spreads! I love what you did! Beautiful stickers!! I loved getting stickers in the mail this month. It was so exciting!!!❤️📚
Beautiful as always!! So inspiring! 🥰
📚📚📚 I love this theme and I can't wait to use your printable in my reading journal 😁

Thank you so much!

Always informative - thanks! 📙
📖 Love this theme so much!
📚 This turned out lovely. Inspired me to try again with my journal!
Ordered the advent calendar :)
I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a journal/agenda the way I do. I use a traveler's notebook and I use a spread per month. I've used agendas for years (yeaars) and I've always hated to waste pages, traditional agendas have way too much space and I don't annotate every single thing of my day, I just can't because I don't do everything and I have the reminder of that, I procrastinate too much and some days are good and some not so good (a problem with mental health), so it has been a try and error kind of situation, long story short: I came to the conclusion that the best thing that works for me is to have a month at a glance kind of spread. On one page is a calendar with spaces between weeks where I annotate appointments and such, on the other page is my to do lists and what ever I may need, tracker maybe.
This year was challenging for me as I need to make room for other tasks but they just don't fit in my small notebook, therefore I'm thinking what should I do for next year, I don't want to change the format because the traveler's notebook size is just perfect for my space.
I've been loving your past two months spreads as an inspiration for what I may do next year, actually. I don't know if this happens to others but the action of turning the page complicates my mind, I forget things if they're not in the same page, so dutch doors and such are a good compromise I think.
📚 📖 i loved this video, so calming to see how the spreads turn out, and i love the dark academia type theme!
📚📚📚loved how you use frames 😍😍😍
I have a lovely notebook therapy dark blue velvety book waiting for next year. I am going back to more expensive thicker paper notebooks for next year after a few years now of books from tgr. I am excited to do some dutch doors and some other cut outs that the thin paper I have now cant handle. 📚
