"... well, too bad!" Yes, girl! Yes! My BuJo theme for September is Blue butterfly and books for a few reasons. 1. Blue is my favorite color. 2. Butterflies = Spring (and I'm not a flowers person). 3. Books because I love them and we have the biannual book fair happening this month. Finally 4. It's my birthday month!!! I can't wait to start using those pages!
I live in Brazil and I love the fact that your seasons are the same as here, so we're going to welcome spring as well. I love decorate September with flowers theme.. ❤
Happy spring Veronica! Thank you so much for watching 🥰 what kind of spring flowers bloom in Brazil? We have lots of purple jacarandas in my city, they are so beautiful!
Love how simple but beautiful this turned out plus how you're nails are matching the theme! 🤗 I might try out your spending page in September, feel like I finally need to confront myself with the hard reality 😂
@@ErinSmith😮You may not get Autumn in Brisbane but the most Southern parts of Australia have four true seasons and beautiful Autumns. Please don’t mislead your international viewers as Australia varies a lot climatically.
Oh my goodness, your theme for September is so pretty I might have to rethink what I'm going to do for mine! Still, I have half of August left to make up my mind!
Hi, dear. I am from Sarajevo, Bosnia and you are so smart women. Your bujo is so so pretty. I like drawing and writing and I have 20 bullet journals curently 😂🍂🎃☺️🥰 Good work beauty. Greetings from Sarajevo for you. I am drinking a cup of coffee and I am watching your videos. ❤
I love your spreads and your ability to mix and match patterns and stickers that seem really different but that when laid on paper actually look really cohesive…I struggle with that and really try to just be like “go for it!” Lol my bujo version of YOLO 😅 anyway, I live in Costa Rica and our seasons match yours (kinda-ish, we really only have rainy and non-rainy season lol) so we’re also headed into spring/summer so it’s so great to see a content creator not doing fall, pumpkins, coffee, and orange tones haha I love that aesthetic for sure, but it’s a little mismatched with the sun and warmth I’m starting to see/feel outside my window. As always, lovely bujo and thanks for the inspiration! 😊
Happy almost-spring Hazel! 🥰🌸 I love your bujo yolo approach! I feel like this one was quite a similar approach for me - just get started and see how it goes!
That was a really pretty setup, you have so much beautiful paper and stickers! And I especially loved that you showed how to cover up a mistake- and it looked really good! ❤
I know that the southern hemisphere has opposite seasons and i know that christmas is in the summer but for whatever reason my brain never put that september is when spring will start for yall. now my brain is trying to wrap my head around this reality and i think my struggle is so silly. Love this theme!! the colors are really cute. a happy early spring to you
Do you have a Kaisercraft near you? They have some really pretty papers. You might not get one that exactly matches the one from Kmart but it will be pretty close.
I often journal while my daughter sits next to me. She is 8 so she does not journal, but she loves to be creative. So that is our thing. We sit and draw and talk together.
Such a beautiful theme indeed it's crazy how it's so simple but actually looks so good and surprisingly this might be my favorite theme it's so beautiful and cute🤗🤗. And absolutely love the nails there a spot on, I love them. Even though it's not spring here, I have been having a few bad days and spring is my favorite season, so this really made me happy the video was soo relaxing to watch loved it so much😅😅. Thank you again, Erin, for making life beautiful and say hi to Mitsu from me and Dora, Mwah!!!😘😘
They didn’t touch on the ethics during the class, not sure about other AI classes. I would love to see it addressed as part of the learning process! I had fun playing with the image generation, and it satisfied my curiosity - as a 35 year old there’s a part of me that’s scared of getting left behind by technology! But I think I’m happy to leave it there now. I am using AI in another area of my life, editing images for my photography business. I feel a lot more comfortable using it for this since I’ve trained the program on my own work and editing style, and I still have to take the photos the old fashioned way. It speeds up my workflow a lot, but it still gets things wrong anyway 😂
My September theme is Autumn 😂... am I the evil twin? Although the last week has felt more like we are heading into Spring... I often watch bullet journal TH-cam videos when I'm setting up my own journal 😊
You’re the northern twin 😉 there is no hemispherical evil! I sometimes get comments like ‘it’s not spring in September though’ from people who genuinely don’t know half the world is the opposite season so I always have to point it out! Are you setting up for September while you watch, Sarah Beth?
@@ErinSmith I'm on a sci-fi series called Hell Divers at the moment, and have also started on Brandon Sandersons cosmere this year...I have soooo many unlisted to books in my Audible lol
So bright and pretty! I usually either just have silence and space out or listen to an audiobook. I used to not be able to focus on audiobooks at all and had sort of just written them off as not being for me since I'd always space out and lose my place but I tried it one time while journaling and seems like that's the magic trick for me to keep my focus haha
Ohh that’s so lovely that journal + audiobook is your sweet spot! I didn’t love audiobooks at first either. I think I’m much the same, I’m always doing something else at the same time! Driving, journaling, laundry 😂
I loved the "well, too bad!" comment. I get such bad FOMO being in the southern hemisphere and the rest of the world are in cosy sweaters and autumn decor is everywhere - my favourite season is autumn, and it always feels like we don't get to celebrate spring here enough, or at least, it's not nearly as visible in social media because Halloween (also my favourite holiday) is normally associated with autumnal elements too. I'm also going with flowers for September in my everyday journal, and watching this really made me want to set it up already! I listen to audiobooks whenever I'm journalling. It's a great way to get through books whilst still being productive. The setup is great - I've never thought of doodling my moods, what a clever idea!
It does feel a bit like having your face rubbed in the opposite season sometimes doesn’t it? All the fashion seasons and makeup colours and limited edition drinks. And then people are like ‘WOW THAT’S SO WEIRD IT’S THE OPPOSITE THERE’ but it’s literally been this way for half the planet forever 😂
This theme is beautiful, the pastel palette is absolutely dreamy. Also, very good point about all the extra decorating space in those weeklies, definitely trying the grid for September!
Your Spring September theme turned out so pretty Erin!!! 💐💚💜💕🥪🥗🍉🧋✨🫶 I'm glad you're decorating for your season in Australia. I was surprised when I learned that others have felt they needed to go with US seasons and not their own country's or area's.
That’s really validating to hear from someone in the northern hemisphere Brenda! It honestly feels like we’re bombarded with the opposite season because almost all our media comes from the northern hemisphere, and social media can get that way too. Most of my viewers are in the US or Europe, which sometimes feels like a lot of pressure! 💕
@@ErinSmith Happy to validate! 😊🫂❤️ I grew up watching Star Trek and dreaming of meeting people from different places with different cultures, traditions and ways of thinking and perspectives. Now I get to do it via the Internet - it's wonderful!!! Definitely keep being you and sharing your authentic journey with us. We each have such riches to share with each other! 🤩😍✨

Ohh Vivian you’re going to have a wonderful journal month! Happy early birthday! What are you reading right now? 👀
@@ErinSmith I'm currently reading Immortality: a love story and The First Fifteen lives of Harry August!
I watch my comfort shows (greys anatomy or criminal minds) or TH-cam videos while I’m bullet journaling
I love that Gloria! I have definitely been known to throw Gilmore Girls on while journaling too 😍

You can do it Nele! You might surprise yourself and find out you’re a total boss with excellent saving habits 😉
Love the pretty spring colors and florals!
“…well, too bad” sounded harsh 😅
Channelling all my envy, we don’t really get autumn here 🤣
@@ErinSmith😮You may not get Autumn in Brisbane but the most Southern parts of Australia have four true seasons and beautiful Autumns. Please don’t mislead your international viewers as Australia varies a lot climatically.
I should have specified I meant Brisbane
I thought the same.
I sometimes journal in silence. Or I listen to lofi or Critical Role.
Oh my goodness, your theme for September is so pretty I might have to rethink what I'm going to do for mine! Still, I have half of August left to make up my mind!
I’d love to see yours if we end up journal twins 😉

New viewer here…loving your content! I journal with a candle lit and a favorite TV show-a cookie show or a documentary.
That sounds so relaxing 😍
That was a really pretty setup, you have so much beautiful paper and stickers! And I especially loved that you showed how to cover up a mistake- and it looked really good! ❤

Yep! 😂 Easter in autumn, Halloween in Spring etc!
I'm one of those strange people who have to have total silence while working on my journal. Otherwise I get distracted and will make errors.
That sounds very peaceful and focused! 🥰
Omgosh Erin this is exactly the inspo I needed for my BUJO- also not your nails matching the theme lol ❤
🥰🥰🥰
Do you have a Kaisercraft near you? They have some really pretty papers. You might not get one that exactly matches the one from Kmart but it will be pretty close.
I do Tanya! I hadn’t thought to check there, that’s a great idea!
I often journal while my daughter sits next to me. She is 8 so she does not journal, but she loves to be creative. So that is our thing. We sit and draw and talk together.
That is so lovely Annemette! What a special way to spend time together!

Hey, Erin! Lovely video. I was wondering where you got your long sleeve shirt?
It’s actually a bodysuit - I’m so sorry, I don’t remember where I got it 😅 I’ve had it for a few years!
I see you took an AI class. Are there any insights you can share about the ethics of it that you learned while using the program?

@@ErinSmith yes setting up September catching up on your videos and Jashii Corrin ❤️
I usually listen to an audiobook unless I'm focusing too hard 😂 love that your nails match 💚
What have you been listening to lately? 😍

Perfect! Time for couch and some Erin BuJo.
🥰🥰 I hope you enjoy, Veronique!
@@ErinSmithrelaxing! I’m getting “little house on a prairie” vibes from the soft pastels and flowers.
Love that your nails match! The theme is so lovely.
I tried 😂 my left hand definitely worked a bit better haha thanks Jen! 🥰
Very classically spring! So cute!
I usually listen to TH-cam, audiobook, or watch a show while I put my spreads together!
In the words of the great Miranda Priestly - ‘Florals for spring. Groundbreaking’ 😂
This theme is beautiful, the pastel palette is absolutely dreamy. Also, very good point about all the extra decorating space in those weeklies, definitely trying the grid for September!
It’s such a great weekly Kelly, I hope you enjoy it!
It turned out really pretty!
Thank you, I’m so glad you like it! 🥰
I love this theme 😍 it's not even spring here in my country but i'm taking it as an inspiration for my september set-up. Thank you ❤
I’m so glad you liked it! I’d love to see yours 😍
I love your theme!! Also, I just get so inspired by your style. I look forward to your videos!
This means so much to me 🥰🥰 thank you for your support!!
