Wish I could be scent some supplies
What did you spray the finished pages with?
Love these pages as I love houses ❤. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year 😊. TFS
It’s UNBELIEVABLE seeing myself in one of your Plan With Me videos, I’m actually stunned. This month’s setup is as beautiful as always ❤ It was an absolute joy to see you and sing for you Amanda 🥹
it was so nice meeting you! 💖 thank you for singing for the lil doodles :) i’m gonna keep going back this month to listen to u sing!!!
Victoria, wow it was so cool to hear you guys. You sounded amazing!
I like your voice!
you guys made me so happy!! Keep spreading Christmas joy, you're incredible
That’s crazy Victoria! Amazing singing as always!
THIS IS GORGEOUSSSS
I love the carolers at the end!!
I absolutely loved the new outside content, the camera made it look like a movie 🙂
the carolers slayed 😮💨
Before you started reflecting on your year, I thought to myself, she looks so mature all of a sudden. Like you've matured into adulthood, and then you started talking about what you've gone through in 2023 and it all made sense. I'm so glad you're finding yourself and that you're taking time to think about what you want from life. It's a huge step. ❤
I was only able to watch some parts of the stream for this spread and I loved how it all ended up!! Soo cozy and perfect for December ❤ Also as a former choir singer, the carolers at the end were great!!!
just a random yearly theme idea (it’s not necessary to make this into a doodle planner ofc the ideas won’t suit everyone :)): but like it would be fun to do a whole year of themes of your favorite music albums and like we could do it along with you but in our own creative flow (swifties could do an entire year of taylor swift themes and same for other fans etc etc i hope you get what i mean) but yeah please do try it out! would love to see this kind of idea in a bullet journal..a whole year of music albums themed monthly spreads :)
please do try out this theme for next year.. in my opinion, Lil doodles would love it...and sorry for posting this on every video it's just a theme I would really really love to see for next year.... I'm actually a lil doodle as well... except I'm a new lil doodle but yes I'm so excited for this!!!! this is soooo pretty and cozy! thank you Amanda for this lovely spread! ❤❤
Oh Amanda, thank you SO much for sharing your reflections with us. You’ve been an inspiration and role model for me since my second year of college (I’ve now graduated and am going through the early 20s finding yourself you describe). I say that because to watch you grow and question and heal truly hits; it’s affirming of my own growth and questions and healing. No doubt I struggle with hustle culture too, and I prioritise success too. Your reflection to do more “slow art” is so timely. I feel so seen by your story. Thank you for existing and being brave, we are so proud of you too!!! ❤️✨🎄
I love the December spread! And also the intro of this pwm is cool as you filmed outside! 💙 Happy Christmas! 🩵
I loved everything about this video - from start to finish. Honestly, the holidays are not easy for me and I’m usually battling my sadness. This video made me feel so good. Thank you to you and to the Carolers!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎊
So cute! I can totally imagine your art in a picture book!
I'm so thankful that I was able to be on the twitch stream while you created this month's spread and being able to kinda hang out with you!! I'm absolutely IN LOVE with this spread❄
🎄💚
I love this! I've never seen someone paint in a bullet journal, but now I want to give it a try. Those buildings are gorgeous :)
Thank you for the free wallpaper!!! I’ve been wanting a new wallpaper :)
just hearing Amanda Claus is a christmas gift enough
0:21 The outfit is giving what needed to be gave. 👏🏽
You’ve inspired me to try something new once again-gouache here I come! I’ve been following since your calligraphy video days - your early videos were a light in a very dark time for me. You helped me in my healing journey & also helped me find my joy in creating. I’m truly happy to hear that you’re healing & I’m grateful for you-thank you for sharing your talent with us. Keep rising in 2024, wishing you all good things! 💜
The vibe kinda reminded me of December 2019 theme
Loved bothhh❤
Really miss amandaclause and all the vlogs too
I LOVED this spread and the carolers! WOW she is such a great singer!
Omggggg amanda clause is backkkkkkk

And the viewers voice is soooo nice omg love that little(doodle) add on to the video ❤️❤️
OMG miss Amanda Claus! What a treat & cherry on top by inuding the carolers. They were awesome!
This months spread and this vlog style planner set up is so cool and cozy! I love it! Glad I found your channel this year when I started my bullet journal
thank you thank you thank you, I'm doing it right now ❤❄️🎄
I didn't realise I was smiling until the video ended! Loved this cozy setup video! It's always nice to see Amanda with holiday cheer!! 💜
The end of this video is so wholesome. I'm tearing up.🥲🥰
The singing at the end 🤩
9:06 You’ve outdone yourself with this one.
The carols at the end! So fun. Love the spread so cosy!
I love the color that you chose for the sky in the background, that dark blue really transports me to a december night ✨
love the theme!
Aah love the setup soo much, we also had those little houses! The way they sang at the end was so good 😂❤
Thank you for the free wallpaper. Brings me joy each time I open my phone.
omg your fan is so cute! Her voice is SO amazing!!!!
I work at Hanji Gifts (the Queen West location) and I'm so excited that we're selling your cards! I've sold so many of your planners and packed many online orders for lil doodles all over the world and it makes me so happy meeting other lil doodles! :") i've been watching your videos since the amandaclaus days lol. happy holidays, love the december layout this year and can't wait to see what you do next year!
OMG, it looks amazing!! ❤❤❤❤ I love it soooo much, you should use this theme in the next year's Bullet Journals 😍😍😍😍
i really like the streaming aspect. its nice to feel like im working across from someone
This video so wholesome😍❤ Thank you Amanda! I can't wait to see your new ideas come to life in 2024💫
The voiceover got me emotional 🥺♥️ I’ve been watching you for probably 4 years now and I’m so happy this year was healing, it was hard to see you struggling with how hard you work and not letting yourself take the breaks and slow down when you need to. It’s so hard since you’re your own business owner, artist, creator, so many big hats and I’m so happy this year was helpful with giving yourself breaks❤ yes to community things, both in Canada and online 🥹💖 supporting you always
i went to college and i still feel like im doing my early-mid 20s 'figuring myself out' thing. honestly sometimes it feels like ive "figured myself out" multiple times in my life. i think identity shifts over time and all throughout life we're on a journey of self-discovery. there isn't any deadline to define ourselves. we are constantly redefining who we are.
2:35 Wow that sounds elaborate and also a Lego set. My mother has an elaborate set up for the Nativity though.
Love it amanda! I've been a follower for 5 years, never disappointed!
Omgggg I loveee this spread, it’s so cute! 😍❤
i loveee the ending with the singers wow!!! so fun!!
Damn, the carol singing at the end is beautiful! ❤
The themes u made for this year have definitely been my favourite! and this christmas intro is everything 😍 I love watching your content, always original and inspiring,,,
What you talked about in the beginning of the spread regarding mental health really resonated with me and a lot of others I'm sure, and it reminded me of how important it is to share about struggles in life and that not everything is so perfect. I'm very glad that you shared your thoughts and experiences ❤️ PS Very cozy spread as always! ❄️ Wish you a wonderful new year!
My family had the same Christmas village! It's so cool to see it in this watercolor setting
I did go to college and figure myself out. Now that I’m in my late 40’s I’m doing it all over again. Just thought you would want to know that it is a lifetime journey.
Ohhhhh the end!!! ❤ sweet! And the christmas village is perfect!
holiday chill with amanda 시작! (start)
this is always my fave season of ur vids because for years u have been part of my holiday routine starting from dec to the transition into a new year!! u’re definitely one of the ways I get rest and Christmas feels bcs u give cozy vibes
I remember when we set up a Christmas village. I have to find them and display them again. When you were talking about the houses and figures you were setting up, you brought me so many memories...
Truly appreciate your genuine sharing of your journey in this thing called life. I am an inspired 65 year old approaching retirement by your authenticity. Thank you, Amanda!! Here’s to a fulfilling 2024!!
Wow!! Their singing was amazing!
The end of this video is my fave!!!!
Happy Holidays!! 🎄
That was great. ....and LOVE the Candy Cane Carolers... They were awesome. :)
I think you are doing fantastic. You are only 25. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are wonderfully talented and a joy to watch. Thanks for all the inspiration. 😊
O g! I loved hearing them sing!!
Beautiful theme as always, and here in Chile, I have seen those kinds of Christmas villages and they are not only lovely but so much fun to discover all the details in them. Loved the carolers!!! Kudos to them!!
We need an amandaclaus comeback!!!
I think this was my most favorite video of yours this year! You, outside with the beautiful winter hat on, and the softly blurred background! Beautiful! The planner layout, beautiful!! The colors, amazing! The cards look great! Maybe add them to your shop for next winter?? Please! Victoria and the singers were great. Victoria, if you’re seeing this, your voice is amazing!!
ok vlog style cinematic intro 😭💕
The best Christmas theme I see so far! :)
love the winter vibes intro
Amanda's videos are so cute 🥺🥰
I remember , we had the same set up. I loved the silver tree too❤
Glad to see your consistency throughout🎉
I always wanted to do journaling but am never consistent and not as aesthetic as you are 🤌🏻😍
SO cute with the viewer caroling!
i absolutely LOVE this Amanda. queen. ❤
OMG YOU'RE PURPLE NAILS ARE SOOO CUTE!!!💜
My dad sets up a lego christmas village. It's so charming!
this video made me smile soo wide!!
Oh i loved this so much ! I could tell you were having a lot of fun filming, not just making the spreads but at the park and the song and everything. Loved this !!
I have stopped watching bujo videos cuz I don't bujo anymore. But this video came in fyp and instantly hit with nostalgia. So happy to see you thriving and being truthful to your inner artist. Appreciate your art so much, happy holidays 💕🪩
Haha that was awesome! Love that you included the song at the end ❤
This setup really brought back memories for me. My mother also had a giant Christmas village, and my younger sister and I would always stand and look at all the pieces and we would imagine who the characters were and what the characters were doing. When we got older, we started to collect our own villages. I sadly can't put mine out this year because of space, but I really loved this setup.
As for your questions:
This year I'm proud of myself for taking a risk and moving to another state even though I had a job and a place to live. In just 6 months, I've found another job I love and I've moved into my own place with my boyfriend for the first time. Some of my highlights of the year are accomplishing these things, but I also got to do some much more that I loved this year. I made my inner child happy and went to see Taylor Swift and Big Time Rush in concert. Something I learned a lot more of this year was appreciating the small wins because this year was hard financially, so I just had to remind myself that even my little accomplishments were all going to be worth it in the end.
Oh, my goodness, Jeff, Victoria and Lachlan are adorable and make a great team!
Yes to the European/London winter vibes! That’s a big theme in my art this winter
You’re building metaphor made a lot of sense and I honestly went through a similar thing of having to “rebuild” ❤ your videos are always a nice part of my day
Yessss!!! Amanda clause!❤
I remember!! Your the best ❤Omg!!!! It’s here!!!!! I love it! Just planned and posted my plan with me on my channel too!!! You are so inspiring and I just bought your journal!!!!
I love it! Your so creative and talented
amanda ur literally the whole reason i started bullet journaling, and i'm about to start on my 6th year! thanks so much for being such an inspiration 🥰
Absolutely loved this video. I borrowed several ideas to get back into creative journalling! Thank you!!
Amanda this months setup is amazing! I always love your art but this is perfect cozy Christmas heartwarming vibes and I love it!
How cool wss this month spread so different but gorgeous. Love the ending super fun video
I was proud of the fact I graduated high school this year, my highlight of the year was going to Taylor swifts eras tour concert, I learned to be kinder to myself, and for next year I want to finally open up my own art business I’ve been working on all this year
ahhh i remember amandaclaus!! 😭 this was such a lovely video. thank you so much for everything this year and always, amanda! we love you and we're so proud of you and your journey to find and become your most fulfilled self. you are a true inspiration and you deserve all the love you give to us 💜
Oh my goodness, this month's setup is insanely beautiful, I particularly love the colors you picked!
What a cute setup! I’m committing to working on my art, just for me, in 2024. Thanks for all the updates and the lovely art!
This is my fave spread you’ve ever done
Outstanding ican't believe this is unbelievable
I don’t know you, I’ve just been following you for years, but I’m still so proud of you. You said some really insightful and self-loving things in this video. I’ve been kinda absent from paper related videos as I’ve been outside in my garden and mostly watching related videos this spring and summer. So I unfortunately haven’t caught much of your videos since your health update. I watched some shorts and I thought she seems so much more happy peaceful and healthy! It made me happy to hear you confirm that in this vid 🥺💕. You’ll always be one of my fave creators because of how genuine and talented you are. It comes across loud and clear. Merry Christmas!
I LOVE your spread! It’s so festive and full of the Christmas season vibes! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
I loved the singing at the end ❤
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I love that you took your time with this. I can see how much you enjoyed creating this set up.
Cheers to you!
