วีดีโอ

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too ❤️

Such a lovely video,thank you x

Thank you-I’m so glad 😌

That sounds fun! No shame though-mine are usually unorganised! 🙈

Hi! No, they don't unfortunately. I tested one in the video aswell as a Blackwing pencil (blink and you will miss it though!) and neither fit upright. They fit lengthways if you dont use the velcro section though if that helps 😊

Oooh, do it! It made me feel great! 😊

So glad! I have lots to organise so I am happy to provide more like this 🙈😂

Thank you so much 😊

Hi and welcome! So glad you liked it. The Tarot compendium is here: amzn.to/3UXVq7M It is called "Tarot. The Library of Esoterica" by Taschen. Hope that helps 😊

Oh fantastic! I think they are a fab secular alternative. So happy to have you here 😊

Oh perfect! You will hopefully like it here then! 😊

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, it is a great idea to downsize. You are right-I definitely shouldn't feel bad for indulging in my hobby-thank you. I would love to know what you think of the B6 Wonderland222 and Aura Estelle Daily Weeks because I have never tried those.

@ Hobbies are designed to bring us joy, so why not invest in what makes us happy?! I love the Wonderlands and the Aura Estelle so far! The grouped months and weeks is making me excited to forward plan, a thing I rarely do. If Wonderland had a Weeks size, I probably would’ve just gotten all W22. The paper is comparable to other TRP planners and I’m not finding there to be intense bleedthru in any of them, including the Aura Estelle. Since the Aura is a proper 2025 start I haven’t played in it as much as I have the rest.

I love that perspective-I will be borrowing it from now on 😂 I am new to both Aura Estelle and Wonderland and I would love to try them-Aura Estelle's covers and stickers and general aesthetic is so beautiful. The shipping costs to the UK are not fun but are very fair in comparison to Hobonichi so maybe I will give them a try next year.

@ I totally get the shipping cost being a deterrent. That’s why I didn’t get the Papertess weekly this year. I just couldn’t stomach the shipping lol. I might do it though if I don’t get it out of my mind lol.

Haha! How many years do you think I can get away with calling 'experimental' because I fear next year will be one too! 🙈😂 That's the problem-all of the pretty paper and pens (and accessories, books, charms, stickers...)!! Well, if my channel takes off like yours, I might just be able to justify it for 'work'! 🤞😂🙈

Oh, I am so glad! I am just starting to experiment with a Standard Travellers Notebook and I think I love it! So glad you are finding my videos useful 😊

Definitely recommend revisiting it. I don't know if it is muscle memory or something, but I think it is working for me even more quickly this time!

Thank you, you are right. I think being relatively new to the 'good' brands and collecting stationery, I feel a bit OTT sometimes, and then on days like today, I feel I don't have enough 🙈😂 I haven't tried the Kinbor planners-are they good? Are they similar to Hobonichi?

@stacysspace veeeeery similar and much cheaper!

You are welcome! I am absolutely desperate to use it if I am honest, but I am making myself finish my current one first because I know I will never complete it otherwise 🙈😂

Haha! I am already planning on my next purchases so it looks like I am over my concerns 🙈😂 No, I haven't read that, but I will add it to my TBR-thank you so much x

Haha! Same here! I forgot about it until I read this too! It's a Cath Kidston one I bought years ago! 🙈😂😂😂

I am so glad you think so 😊 I definitely recommend it. It is one of my favourite ways to spend 'free' time now.

So glad you like it! I intend to make lots more videos like this one. It's a shame your library doesn't have them-are you from the UK? They are American books I think so that may be why. I can't think of any sites specifically, but I will be on the lookout so I can let you know if I find any.

@@stacysspaceyes from Uk but I did get the daily stoic from the library and that is quite a nice start 😊

@KSS709 Oh yes, that’s a good one! Have you read “101 Essays that will change the way you think” by Brianna Weist? That’s a good one too x

Oh, I am so glad you like it! Thank you for letting me know. I have been creating lots of stationery videos lately, following my interests but I have some study videos planned to upload soon so hopefully you will enjoy them too. 😊

Awww, thank you so much ❤️ I am sorry it has taken so long to respond-life is really 'life-ing' right now 🙈😂

I am so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know-it is so wonderful to have encouragement. 😊

I love the idea of using morning pages 'to find out what you are thinking about'! What a lovely way of describing it! Also your way of 'clearing the pipes'! Thats exactly it isn't it?! Since 2003?! That is incredible! Have you managed to be consistent the whole time or have you had breaks? I wish I had known about them much sooner-I genuinely think I would have dealt with some of the crazy life things differently if I had. 😊

You are so welcome! I am so glad you like them. 😊

Glad it was helpful! 😊

They are really lovely planners-Ruby brings out updated versions every year 😊

Oh fab, I will go and watch you video now! How funny that I have only just got around to responding to this after I already uploaded a video on it! I think I will definitely have to try a standard Travelers Notebook and see how I feel about the dimensions, I worry that it will be too slim but they aren't much slimmer than an A6 are they? It is looking like my experimentation is not finished 😂🙈.

Morning pages are magical. Been doing them on and off since 2017 but been back in the practice since April. The practice comes from a creative named Julia Cameron and is in her book The Artist Way

So glad you enjoyed it and how funny that I am just managing to get back to you now after my new video on The Artist's Way! I have looked into so many different notebooks that I think I have given myself too much choice and confused myself even more! Either my next or the one after video will be about my choices I think so I can give myself a bit of pressure to decide or I won't have anything set up until January! I think I have narrowed it down to an A5/A6, I just need to find time to have a play around with some spreads on each size to decide. Haha! I am the same-I see things on here and immediately go online to find them!

Thank you for helping @abookabrewandcraftingtoo! I couldn't agree more that morning pages are magical! :)

Thanks for subscribing, and welcome! No way?! I am so gutted! I would have loved to see him speak. I only found out about the 'fests' after they had happened already this year so I will definitely be there next time.

I got them from Etsy but can't find the exact ones now. I have just received more today actually from 'StickerMasterGB' on Etsy and they are slightly bigger but still good quality and I have some more smaller ones on the way from 'TwistedWicked' on Etsy and they have great reviews. The cat ones I got from Amazon. I hope that helps :)

Oh fab! How are you finding it?

Hope you enjoyed it!

I couldn't agree more. Morning pages are truly magical. I have the opposite preference with paper. While, I love good quality paper for fountain pen writing, I can only write my morning pages in cheap dollar store spiral notebooks (black). The paper is what you would expect but I started writing in these cheap notebooks back in 2017 (before I started collecting fountain pens) and can't do morning pages in anything else. But I will check out the Rhodia books. Thank you!

@@christadavidart That's how I started back in 2003, and I didn't want to "waste" good paper. But I find that I enjoy the physical process of writing more, (and am more inclined to do it!) if writing is easy. I also have an old injury of a broken wrist, so it's rollerball and fountain pens for me!

That's so interesting! Thank you for sharing. I tried with good paper and fountain pens but I just find myself getting too prissy with them and paying more attention to my handwriting than what I am thinking. It just occurred to me when I was writing this that perhaps it is a scarecity mindset problem and I should maybe see if working on that makes a difference!

Same here, but I think I will look up the Rhodia notebooks too :)

Oh, I love that! Thank you!

Thank you ☺️

I'm glad you liked it 😊 Congratulations on starting-that's the main step! The brain fog is real here too! I just try to take notes as extensively as possible and try to give myself enough time to review the material properly before planning my TMA's. Communication with your tutor is imperative too, they are great at giving extensions and extra help when needed in my experience so use them. Let me know how you get on x

Glad it was helpful! I will be doing more videos on commonplacing so hopefully they are useful too 😊

Oh yeay! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you for subscribing 😊 I have some more stationery and planner videos coming soon so hopefully you enjoy those too! x

Oooh! Thank you for the recommendation-I will look for those now!! Yes, totally agree that it is so much easier to remember quotes etc when I have written them down and yes-morning pages are definitely not to be shown, unlike a commonplace! 😂

I am so glad you liked it! Yes, self-help and non-fiction used to be my morning go-to swell, but I find the intellectual devotionals a lighter way to start the day now 😂

So glad you liked it 😊 I absolutely love the Intellectual Devotionals so I hope you do too. x
