I like your whole “don’t buy stickers, find things you already have”. Its still okay to buy sometimes, but I really want to be more mindful when i buy! So thats a nice idea. I also love how you don’t try to make everything perfect. That’s how I actually started to work on my journal, when I told myself ‘who cares if its not perfect as long as I have fun’. Sometimes I feel like the pressure of internet where everything needs to be ‘aesthetically pleasing’ might stop people from doing things
I so enjoy incorporating things from packaging, ephemera, etc. so many cool things, I also enjoy tearing bits of tissue paper and layering a sticker on top
Best journal lover videos always!!! I wish I could articulate better how much I appreciate your content but in summary, I truly love watching your videos because they are authentic and helpful. ⭐️
What I like most about your videos is that you're not worried about being "camera perfect" -- your attitude of just setting your planner and having fun with it, just drawing a line even if uneven, or writing something without fancy lettering. Thanks!
Thank you for this new video. A Filipino fan here!! I just want you to know that I really love your videos and it helped me chill from a long day of work. Merry Christmas in advance.
Hey Roxanne glad to meet you. I’m Keisha and I used to be a diva but she fell off due to my chronic illnesses. So I need to start journaling with all the pictures and cool stuff to make it exciting. I also want to get closer to God creatively as well. Hoping that in my search or quest to will find out who 50 year old Keisha is all about . In the meantime, I obsesss over everything because I don’t go anywhere…I’m a recluse. So feel free to contact me anytime.
Always Love your enthusiasm! I get plenty of ideas as you go over things! I tend to set my reading goal low at the start of a year and increase/update it as I read more. I use the vertical months tracker for start / finish books ( I just write an S and/or F on the date line) on the 2pg monthlies I put the titles at the bottom notes and then on the date box I finished the book I'll put my stars rating.
I totally agree about just buying from Hobonichi directly. Plus, I'm an accidental collector of their pens. For 2025, I'm using the cherry blossom weeks for my health, particularly tracking RA pain/meds and a personal size rings for everything else. Thank you for sharing!
You can buy the refills for the hobonichi pen. It's the uniball and they sell refills that have the larger size writing. I think they sell them at jetpens probably other places as well.
That was such an inspiration. I use a Hobonichi avec A5 this year and also next year. So i can use more stickers and tapes then in a A6. I want to release also. I can decorate a wall with all the stationery i have.😂😂😂 looking forward for next video. ❤🎉
Using an A5 Hon for journaling and art drawings. My weeks is my planner. So hard to decide this year but you bring such joy to journaling and the planning 😂❤ Thanks
Happy to hear that a HON will be part of your 2025 lineup as well! Don't you just love the Weeks as an everyday planner? So handy and light! Wishing you a Happy Holiday season, P!🩷
I am a passionate diary writer and for 2025 i thought it would be a good idea to change from an a5 notebook that gets heavy over the time to a smaller a6 . I chose a day free from hobonichi with some nice Covers... and now that i started it i realize that i dont like the small size. I dont know why, maybe the smaller size and the thin paper feels so different to the scribble that matters a5 with extra thik pages i had in 2024... so i bought three (...) scribble that matters in different colors and i love them :-( No i have to find another way to use the expensive hobonichi planners and covers i so enthousiasticcly bought.... but its all about the feeling. My head thinks i shall use the hobonichi a6 because its portable,its light weight, it has expensive covers.... but... my heart wants the scribble that matters books and decorate every single page with washis and stickers and all that childish stuff i like 😅
I have a HON for 2025 and I LOVE IT!!!!! It’s a perfect size and great for EDC. I love the snoopy stickers. Too cute. Also, how do you print those book stickers? Great idea.
Love your video ❤ Using Hobonichi cousin for journaling next year. Bought also Kinbor A5 to try out. I thought I might switch to Kinbor in 26. If I like kinbor. I think Hobonichi has become too expensive for me personally. But I'll keep it for at least another year. Instead of Hobonichi weeks, I bought the Kinbor weekly for next year for planning. It's the same style.
Quería esta versión pero solo encontré la TECHO, le compré su cover y el cover del cover omg 😅 esta edición de OP es una maravilla! Me encantó el video ❤
I've corrected myself from using, not only Post-It notes, but scribbling onto any small piece of paper I have at hand....like pieces of mail that have my address torn off, but I haven't yet thrown out. I might remember I have to get an ingredient for dinner that night, then think, since I'm at the store, remember you needed more Ketchup, or you're low on whatever, so I'm almost out the door, so I jot down those extra thinks I need on a scrap paper. Notes to call somebody, notes that I made a hair appt, or don't forget to renew your license...yada yada yada, until it became quite obsessive! Then clean up time came and I had this massive stack of little notes to read thru, just torn pieces of paper, even my kids would say "there you go with your little notes all over the place". So I decided to get an A5 size notebook, which is basically, 5X7, and use it to write To Do Lists, I ended up with 4 all together. The first being my daily To Do List, one for my Bible notes and anything to do with Faith, even writing down UA-cam videos that I need to come back to, 3rd one for All Things Fountain Pen! Yes!, Pens that I've bought and where, Inks that I own and have put a sample on the the first pages of this notebook, with room for more, Fountain Pen websites that I would otherwise have forgotten about, and fellow FP lovers that show you what they've bought and where, and what works for them, how to utilize different pens, how to fill and clean them, or trouble shoot problems, and the 4th is for new recipes I've come across, recipes I've found that works for homemade cough syrup using natural ingredients, how to make liquid laundry detergent using Zote soap, or 'recipe' for natural, non toxic weed killer during the summer, not just food recipes. Now I'm so organized and much happier. I usually buy 4-10 packs off Amazon where I don't pay more than $5. each. The brands are different, but the pages are pretty thick, GSM of 100 usually and I can write with any FP with no bleed-thru, no feathering, utilizing both sides of the page. Most of my FP's are under $30. some are nice ones on sale for $10. My most expensive was a limited Edition TWSBI Eco for around $55. and I still love my Platinum Preppys because they write so beautifully....like butter! Love the Pilot line, or any Japanese, but also love Jinhao! Thank you for sharing your notebook ideas!
i bought the muji vertical planner as this is my first year using something like this and i'm scared that i can't commit (im also diagnosed with adhd!) and this was super super helpful, thank you 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
Loved the video! I will also use a hobonichi original for 2025 and I was looking for inspiration and glad I came across your video. I’m curious about the vertical month pages and the pages at the end… what purpose you will give them? Looking forward your next video!
Thank you! For the vertical month pages, I intend on using them as trackers. Pages at the end will be used as lists and favorite tracking. I share more of my thoughts on that here, in interested: ua-cam.com/video/gXEAFA5zL0E/v-deo.htmlsi=2eXlEWWvs1sF4fQE
The founder of hobonichi discriminates and disregards women so many Japanese stopped using this few years ago.I am so surprised that you’re still using it!?
@@nooneontheearth interesting. Did not know about this. Can you elaborate on that statement? I’m surprised this information isn’t widely known as I’m not the only one still using this brand.

My word for 2025 is Resilience. Thank you so much for these videos. It's like sitting down with a good friend.
What a beautiful word for 2025! Thanks for sharing!
I so enjoy incorporating things from packaging, ephemera, etc. so many cool things, I also enjoy tearing bits of tissue paper and layering a sticker on top
Yes!! Adds such a personal and unique touch to the pages, right!
Peanuts is Celebrating It's 70th Anniversary that's why your finding more items and brands are collaborating with them

Yes! The book covers sounds like a great idea for tracking everything more visually. AND its cute!
thank you! It'll keep me on track and motivated as well! 🩷
I must confess that I love the colour of that cover. ❤
I love how you plan to track your books/ reading! Great use for those pages!
Thanks! I had to find a creative way to track my reading since I'm a total bookworm!
this was so relaxing and it accompanied me through my journaling ahah!

I love the mini snoopy stickers. My husband and I just bought Snoopy Christmas mugs last night.
Snoopy is just the curtest, right! I'm sure your mugs are adorable! 🐶❤️
My WOTY will definitely be “use it or lose it” more like a frase.. but I love it 😊
You can buy the refills for the hobonichi pen. It's the uniball and they sell refills that have the larger size writing. I think they sell them at jetpens probably other places as well.
Yes, you're right! I could just switch out the refills. Perhaps I'll consider that if I get tired of the pink barrel 😅
That was such an inspiration. I use a Hobonichi avec A5 this year and also next year. So i can use more stickers and tapes then in a A6. I want to release also. I can decorate a wall with all the stationery i have.😂😂😂 looking forward for next video. ❤🎉
Super cute and the kitty on your cover is adore! Did you make that yourself? 😍
thank you! The kitty deco came from another package order. It's by the illustrator Yumi Kitakishi.

@@SeaweedKissesI'm definitely in love with my hobonichi weeks, the feeling you described at the beginning of your video was too real!!❤

Lifelong PEANUTS fan - they’re definitely more available of late ❤ Thanks for another great video Michelle ✨
Yay!! Another Peanuts fan! Appreciate your support, as always! 🩷
Hi Michele 👋
There is a Uni Jetstream 0.7 (2&1 -black/ red and 1 pencil) . I bought it on Amazon.
Yes, the Jetstreams come in other colors. I have the black too!
The Hobonichi multi pen is a Uni Jetstream 0.5!
Came here to say this.
Ah, okay! Thank you so much!
I have a HON for 2025 and I LOVE IT!!!!! It’s a perfect size and great for EDC. I love the snoopy stickers. Too cute. Also, how do you print those book stickers? Great idea.
So happy to hear you like the HON edition, too! For the book stickers, I just resize the images on canva and print a sheet on sticker paper 🩷😉

I love this little red book of yours!!
Oh, have you seen Pantone's color of the year? It's gorgeous, I thought of you because of your fountain pen.
Thank you! I just googled that color...and it does remind my of the TWSBI bronze fp! 😅🩷

Now that's a great idea! 👏
I love your emerald ring! Where is it from?
thank you! It was made by this Australian artisan here: www.loveyourthreads.com.au/
I love the cover you put together! Do you happen to know how I can track down that sticker?
I think she mentioned in another comment that the artist is Yumi Kitakishi

Where did you find the little book printables?
You can swap the ink from pen you like into the Hobonichi pen. It’s the same refill.
Very true! If I get tired of the pink, I'll give that a try
can you make more videos about commonplace . like ideas
I am trying to find the fountai pen you used in this video but am unable to. Can you please send me the link?Thanks
Thx for Show all this
where are your snoopy stickers from!! im obsessed!!
**expect the worst, pray for the best. Is that how it goes? lol (about the book goal)
the hobonichi free pen is a 0.5 mm 😊
Ahh, thank you!
What did you use to print out the book covers???
resized the book images via canva, and just printed the sheet out on sticker paper 😉
Peanuts is back! What is going on?!
It’s because it’s the 50th anniversary of the Peanuts gang.
