Creative journaling has genuinely transformed my life. I feel more in-touch with reality and connected to my experiences. I get to create art with my life every single day. It's a great hobby, but it's also an incredible self care experience and healthy coping skill
What an amazing video!!! I’ve watched countless TH-cam videos about journaling and they’re all great, but this really spoke to me. Loved seeing your flip thru and the sharing of your daily stories, photos and different medias. It all works so beautifully together, I love it. So inspired by you. Thank you, stay awesome!
I started doing this earlier this year. A yearly creative journal/memory planner that ends/begins on my birthday each year! Previously I only ever did travellers notebooks and I loved them!
Thank you so much for this positive, motivating weekly spread! While I am not always able to do each week, my goal is to at least grab snippets from the month! 😏. Taking the time to reflect and learn from what occurred in a creative way is so freeing for me! I love your products and appreciate the time you spend to share your creativity and talents!! Be blessed this week!❤
Amy when you said “perfectionism is not welcome here” I was like “YES!”🙌🏻 and thank goodness 😁 Thank you so much for sharing this clip through it helped me so much as I’m about to start doing this for the first time.🥰🙏🏻
YAY! What's that saying about perfection being the enemy to good? Or maybe it's perfection is the enemy to progress? Just flow with what makes you happy!
This was a brilliant idea. I loved all your suggestions, ideas, and thoughts. I do spreads like this once in a while like an occasion but never daily. I love the simplicity and the benefits of this daily habit!! Thank you for sharing this idea and for the flip-through 🥰
This was perfect timing. I’m sitting here with all of these books is the middle of the year and I just want to completely re-transform the way I’m planning not getting ready for 2025 because I think that’s insane but just redoing and reimagining some things in my life I’m currently on a wellness journey so I’m gonna reimagine that kind of notebook and this, this is perfect. This is exactly what I needed and to hear you say it’s only a 10 or 15 minutes. Oh this is this is in my morning routine starting Monday love love love love love this.
While driving from Santa Barbara back to the reality of LA, lol, I listened to you as the guest on the Abundant Ever After - Cathy Heller podcast. Your experience is so inspiring and refreshing. Love this journal walkthrough, it encourages us to find the joy and beauty in our daily lives.
This is so true! I started really getting back into journaling a few weeks ago, and it's a game changer. I was worried about starting the middle of the year, but you made a lot of sense with that, so thank you!
Love this! Thanks for sharing your journal and inspiring us. I’ve been so busy and overwhelmed caring for my mom. Setting aside some time to play in my memory planner helps to relieve my stress. Watching your videos cheers me up too!😊
Love this! Started in a Hobonichi in May and love it! I didn’t know I would. Thought I wanted more of blank pages but not having to think of how to date them is amazing. So easy to keep up.
Thank you Amy. I am in the process of decluttering anticipating a move next year. I have not had time since COVID to scrapbook or stamp since. I had sooo much stuff! So I purged what I didn’t want and kept everything that I would use. Including some of your ephemera 😀. I took what remains, some stamps and stickers for creative journaling. Haven’t started yet, but excited to start.
ALWAYS inspiring Amy and love the flip thru. Started something similar the beginning of July... I have been OVERTHINKING it the past 6 months and didnt do anything. Now i am just doing what feels good to me and quit comparing to everyone else's. 😊
Love this Amy! I was very curious about using a Hobonichi and I was lucky to find a 2023 one on eBay for $5! I figured this way I can try it and see if I like it. Just an idea for others because they are kind of expensive.
In January 2024 I found a 2023 hobo on eBay for $22 including shipping. I’ve been using it all year but wanted a lower price point to test it out before buying such an expensive planner. I’ve just been editing the days of the weeks/etc so it works for this year. Hope you’re enjoying your 2023 one too!!
@@kaleighthacker4367 I am enjoying it. I think the thinner paper takes some time to get use to. But I am enjoying the daily practice of being creative! Glad you found one too to test!
So beautiful!!!!!! Do you print your pictures at home? Are you sure they won't fade for them not having been developed in a lab? I worry a lot about durability in photos... Home printing or lab? Thanks!
Thank you!! I print these at home. I just did a compact printer review and uploaded that video. I do prefer matte photos printed in a lab, but I don't have the patience for it. For me, I think it's more important to get to creativity and doing this daily doesn't work if I have to wait for prints to come from a lab. Especially bc locally they only print glossy and I don't prefer that.
Love this! I wonder if you offer workshops in how to start your own creative business? I am at a crossroads and long to create my own crafty creative business but am unsure of where to even start,
Awww thanks! I haven’t yet but might have something in the fall that would help you. I’ve also done creative consulting sessions. Might have to offer those again. Thank you!!
I just ask for "milky white" and they know the look I am going for. It is SNS dip powder and she usually has to mix a couple of shades to achieve the look. Hope this helps!
Project Life or Creative journaling on Hobonichi? I currently do Project Life, because I love the photos, but the type of journaling you do is so beautiful...
I love this video!! I never tried Hobonichi notebooks before so I am totally new to this. Can I just use a plastic cover for this book or do I need a cover to add another cover?? 🤔💖 I just subscribed! ❤😊

I was so excited to see AT videos on YT… but then all that background noise had me running to my windows wondering who the heck is in my driveway. I live in the middle of nowhere so those sounds really throw me off. Cute journal tho. Mine is similar but more about my day & more journaling.
Lol, as if we all live such an eventful life as you do. My day consists of sleeping, watching TH-cam and, and, yeah that’s about it. I could do my journalling in about 1 minute.
as someone who has had similarly boring periods, i like tracking what i am watching/listening to. my tastes change over time in a way i never noticed until i started writing about it. idk, i know it sounds silly, but especially since the yt algorithm has gotten so weird, i found it fun
@@ruleofthree99 You make a very good point. I definitely go through periods when I watch ‘useful’ things on TH-cam and sometimes ‘waste of time’ things and maybe that does tell some kind of a story about my life in that moment, so thanks for that. You see people sometimes write down what their current playlist is, or what they are binge watching, and that does record a moment in time.
This video is another great reminder that the small everyday moments are in fact the big moments, and can be the sweetest ones 🧡
TRUTH!!!
I love the fact that you try and fail because I’m constantly staring and not finishing 😊
Keep going, my friend!!
Creative journaling has genuinely transformed my life. I feel more in-touch with reality and connected to my experiences. I get to create art with my life every single day. It's a great hobby, but it's also an incredible self care experience and healthy coping skill
YES!! TRUTH!!
Fun is underrated medicine. Love this.
Couldn't agree more!
My anxiety has reappeared and maybe some journaling is just what I need! Thank you for the reminder and sharing your journal.
Oh Stacey, I do believe journaling helps so much!! Have you seen Inside Out 2 yet?
@@amytangerine not yet!
Definitely helps me.
I love all the reasons you gave about the impact of journaling... I feel that BIG TIME
YESSSS!

I had so much fun watching this! Thanks for sharing what you've created. I've fallen off, but feel motivated to start again.
You can do it!
What a wonderful idea. Thanks for giving us this great idea. 🎉
Most welcome 😊
You never fail to inspire me. Using what I have is something I am doing on a daily basis.
Thanks for the confirmation 🌈
You are so welcome, sweet Justice!!
Thanks for sharing your journal with us Amy! I'm also using my hobonichi cousin for journaling and memory keeping and I LOVE IT!! ☺
You’re welcome! And yayyyyyy!
This is the one I want to buy next year; so inspiring!!❤
I have a smaller hobonichi book this year.
@@whimsicalexpressions YAYYYY! I love the smaller one too!
Love this! Thanks for sharing your journal and inspiring us. I’ve been so busy and overwhelmed caring for my mom. Setting aside some time to play in my memory planner helps to relieve my stress. Watching your videos cheers me up too!😊
Oh my heart. You're doing amazing and I am sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. Take some amazing care of yourself a bit too and relieve that stress.
Thanks for all of this inspiration Amy! I love the vision boards you created and just the overall easy collaged feel to your pages.
You are so welcome, sweet Mandy!! I still would love for us to collaborate on something but just need to get clarity on what it is :)
@@amytangerine I am always up for a chat about collaborating with you! What fun we could have! 🥰
Your journal looks the same like mine. And yes it helped me to reflect my day and my creativity. I love it. Nice spreads you have!!❤❤🎉🎉
I'm so glad!

Great video and advice!

an amazing video, thank you for sharing, I'm currently doing the daily doodle dairy challenge and have a load of fun with it ☺☺
Sounds great! Should I look up what that is?
@@amytangerine it’s an art challenge where you doodle every day in a diary… basically 😂
Omg pleaseeee tell me the name/shade number of your nail color!! I LOVE THEM!!
I just ask for "milky white" and they know the look I am going for. It is SNS dip powder and she usually has to mix a couple of shades to achieve the look. Hope this helps!
Project Life or Creative journaling on Hobonichi? I currently do Project Life, because I love the photos, but the type of journaling you do is so beautiful...
Thanks! I used to love PL, but now I am just Hobonichi, creative journaling, and the occasional mini book or scrapbook layout.
Thanks x Sharing ❤saludos from México
You’re welcome! XOXO
I love this video!! I never tried Hobonichi notebooks before so I am totally new to this. Can I just use a plastic cover for this book or do I need a cover to add another cover?? 🤔💖
I just subscribed! ❤😊
Yes of course! Thanks for subscribing. I didn't even use a cover for my first Hobonichi. Do whatever you feel is best, a plastic cover is just fine :)
@@amytangerine Ooh yay!! You are so welcome, and thank you for the advice. I can't wait to try one. 👍☺️💖
You inspire!!
Thank you!!
Very Nice!😊
