I love your video.!! You took a simple Hobonichi book and made it into a personal journal of simplistic beauty.! Your spreads are an inspiration.! Calming voice and a Beautiful Journal.! I would Love to see more spreads.!!! I wish I could place stickers the way you do, I always think my stickers have to reflect what I wrote instead of making a page of something pleasing to the eye.!! 💖💖💖💖💖You have a new subscriber for sure.!!
I was stressing bc i wanted to stay with hobonichi this upcoming year, but i didnt want to do a dated journal again since i fall behind. I forgot they had blank ones ! Love your spreads and thanks for the inspo ☺️
this is so inspiring yet relaxing to watch, i love the way you talk to us as if were just chill friends sharing our journals!! im not much of a daily journal person but this definitely has inspired me to include a tiny journal section on my weekly spreads :-)
LOVE this video! thank you for sharing! i have my first hobonichi cousin in the post and this has given me soooo many ideas for how i will use it in 2025
muji glue tape (or tape runner as yall call it) works pretty well. i've never used hobonichi though so i'm not entirely sure how it works on hobonichi paper. but so far, i've never had issues with my muji glue tape
I really enjoyed watching your flipthrough! I know you said you write about mundane things and I do too but isn't it kind of nice to just get all the thoughts of the day out even if it's not much? lol also re: tape runners/glue runners-- I've been using hobonichi for the last year and the only tape runner I use that hasn't given me any issues at all are the Tombow mono dot runner. It last me forever and they sell refills in a three pack-- you can get them online but I got mine at a Michaels craft store with a coupon and it was a pretty solid deal! (:
So … this might not be a tape runner.. but I use double sided tape that’s not the puffy white kind .. it’s similar to a tape runner but I tear it by hand . I use 1-3 torn bits on anything I want to stick.. and it’s extremely cheap than a tape runner in the long run.. the ephemera don’t move around btw , if that’s an issue for not using anything other than tape runners. I got a huge roll from Amazon for 2-3 dollars and have been using it for about 3 years now 😂
Love this video, it inspired me to start a journal for the first time. Do you have recommendation for pens that are not fancy fountain pens but something more beginner friendly? Right now i’m using my drawing fine liners but i don’t love it for writing.
thank you! i’m so glad to hear that! 😊 i would say gel pens are nice to write with, they’re similar to ballpoints but smoother in my opinion. my favourites are the zebra sarasa clip and the uniball one pens
Really nice spreads. In viewing videos, I actually like to LEARN more about the functionality of the journals - for example, your page with the illustrations of the journals you used this year, it would have been nice to see the illustrations & learn more about which journals you selected. For me, a deeper dive is far more interesting than repeatedly saying “this is washi tape from XYZ “ which tons of You Tubers say…. Your pages are lovely and your style is unique- I hope you’ll share more details & let the content of your pages shine a bit more in future videos!
you spreads are such a great balance of decoration to simplicity and ease of use! really inspiring for my own journaling practice
@@dgnas thank you so much! glad you liked it :)
Totally agree…well said!
Your printing is very neat and perfectly-spaced. You did a really nice job especially it being your first one !!
thank you very much! 😊
You have such a unique style! Beautiful!

this was such a nice flip through, loved your style 🤍
Nice flip through! I like the way you used your journal. A good inexpensive tape runner is Scotch tape runner; the green one works great.

@@glosno8173 thanks for the feedback!
Inspiring!
thank you 😊
Where do you buy the notebook?
this notebook is by hobonichi , you can get their notebooks through their website or on jet pens, amazon and most other stationery shops
where do you get your amazing washi?
most of mine are from michael’s, wonder pens and some local (to me) artists. i’ve also enjoyed some of the packs available on amazon 😊
