I LOVE this. I love the haphazardness of it. I dont think it’s ugly at ALL. I love a neatly curated and organized journal as much as the next girly but chaos is where it’s at for me!
My brain says it’s chaos but I absolutely love this for you! Hopefully people get inspired to franken-stick their planners together. I think it’s awesome.
Preach! Go off about those folks who are bound to their issues and can’t see a paper bound book as anything other than just that. Love your chaos, love your pages, and especially love your sweet pup!
oh neat quote of yours up there in the video description. I wonder what could have prompted this functional planner enthusiast discussion. Were the words in brackets close to your original phrasing at all..? 😇
Oh my goodness, your handwriting is so neat and I think your creative journal is so nice 👍🏾, I could cry 😂 with joy for you. I am so hesitant to write ✍🏾 in my “creative ‘discbound’ journal 📔” because I have this perfectionism syndrome!! I love 💕 that you are so vulnerable to share your journal 📝 here on your channel, I love 💕, love 💕 it!! I want to journal freely like you and I want to stick pictures, words sayings like 👍🏾 you are, but I am too tightly wound up ⬆️!! I want to be free like you have been to express your thoughts on paper and in such a “beautiful way”!! I am totally inspired by the words you have so creatively put to paper!! Don’t stop 🛑 doing what you are doing, for you are able to express yourself freely and that is 😅so wonderful!! Thanks for you video, Arlene 😂
I love that you both try new things but also stay true to your love of the Cousin. Do what you want! It's just paper! There are no rules! Thank you for sharing. Also thank you for all the Cookie content 🐶
Amazing, it's a Frankenichi 😂 Not for me, but totally love this for you!! Also love how it gives you one journal for archiving purposes. I see other journalers/planners who hop who copy everything over for archiving purposes and it's so pretty and organized, but I don't have time for that, ha. Love this as an alternate way to archive without keeping all the books.
@@LindaLovesCreating frankenichi!!!! Gagagaag I’m obsessed. OH, I totally know what you mean. I would LOVE to have the patience and stamina for copying everything over
OK, I'm back. It's not even slightly ugly. It looks like someone has lived in it, which is my favourite type of book. I'm so tired of the "perfect" planners; the only perfect planner/journal is the one we use. 13/10 - would recommend. 🥰💖
Enjoyed! - good ideas - and agree it is just paper and it is for you - imo - no one needs a directions for using a planner video - I click right out of those and I don’t need to watch someone show me their plans for social media posting schedule ( yeah another pet peeve🤪) But… I love creative journaling, planning and appreciate seeing these types of videos - it is a glimpse into how someone else documents thoughts, feelings and life Makes me feel not alone in my randomness of journaling and planning and liking / using multiple methods throughout the year(s)
Claire, I just found you in the tube today… totally subscribing to your channel. Love your style and whole vibe. Sending you lots of love from Bolivia 🔴🟡🟢
Wowsa! That really is SUCH a mess! I had to subscribe 😂 I also rip out pages in journals that I've abandoned, so I'm totally here for that. I've never added them to another one though as I want a whole new journal/start, but that's a very cool option. Thanks for sharing the 'ugly' - 100% behind doing journaling/planning your own way. 🙌
I used a hibino. It was different. It’s honestly like 3 hobonichi originals stacked on top of each other. And that’s with no bulk. It just did not work for me. But it was real cute.
@@ssum92 I don’t think it ends up working for a lot of people which is why I hardly ever see it beyond unboxings 🤪🤣 excited to try anyway!! I kept missing the release. Doubling up on a few hobo a6s might be the move!! Great idea
Absolutely loved this idea! Thanks for sharing 😊 And about the hibino, hope it works for you, in the end it didn’t work for me for dailies so I turned it into a 5-year book and loving it! Tip for the cover in case you don’t get the moterm: you can use the hobonichi A6 5-year book cover 😉 I bought the Mina Perhonen one and fits great!
I love this, I would never have thought to take pages from another planner and tip in. ❤ I keep trying rings, but I just cannot settle in with rings 🤷♀️
Your videos are impressive. With some modern editing, they could appeal to a broader audience and generate more engagement. I have a talented team of video editors and designer. Would you be interested in outsourcing your editing? I'd be happy to offer a free first video and thumbnail to demonstrate our work. My goal is to make sure you're fully satisfied before any commitment.
Claire, your creative freedom in your planning and journaling practice is an actual inspiration to me!!

I’m really happy I found you. I am also an SLP and love journaling (all forms) and just got my first Hobinichi. Yippee! Happy creating
Doing whatever you want! We love to see it! 🏆

Watching your videos has inspired me to just do what I wanna do with my planner!!! So thank you!!!
@@Charley_84 thank you for watching!!!!! 🥹🥹
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think this is beautiful. It looks loved and there’s nothing more beautiful than that! Tfs ❤❤
Personally, i really REALLY love your “chaotic” way of journaling. It’s similar to my style as well, you quite influenced me in this 😂!
I love that you both try new things but also stay true to your love of the Cousin. Do what you want! It's just paper! There are no rules! Thank you for sharing. Also thank you for all the Cookie content 🐶
This super helped me figure out how to archive all my jumping around!
@@sarahsteidl790 WEEEE I’m so glad, thank you!!!
I love your style! I ordered all kinds of silly stickers and I have tons of washi so I can't wait to follow in your footsteps next year 🖤
@@irocktallsocks3126 silly stickers are theeeeee best!!! Have fun playing 😄
It's interesting to see how other people use their planner/journals. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thank YOU for watching!!
The one-handed attempt to re-cap the fudenosuke killed me. You are so real for that!!
"It's mess, but it's my mess." Ah, such good words, thank you❤

This is the video and channel I needed! Lol my hobonichi has been an ugly mess and experiment this year and I’ve loved it! It’s just paper!
the “do I care? naaaoh” at 12:04 is the Chicago accent staking its claim on this vlog
@@jenhasaplan if there’s one thing about me… 🤣🤣
im dying at those tutter stickers. hes a national treasure!
I'm only half way through your video, but I've seen two pictures of Tutter already, so I know I love you! 😁

@@autisticbucky thank you so much!!! Definitely scrapbook-adjacent! lol
I love this, I would never have thought to take pages from another planner and tip in. ❤ I keep trying rings, but I just cannot settle in with rings 🤷♀️
@@lkessler1 I feel the same!! I think they’re soooo beautiful! Can never settle.
We love some cookie ASMR! 😅😍🥰🐶
I took a bunch of my rings pages and archived them into the end of my Q1 book similarly. It's just paper hehe!
Where can I get that pink and green washi? It’s gorgeous
@@MsIvy12 it’s from Mellowworks!!
Can you explain your drink of choice, how you make it?
@@kristinedonahue5113 it’s called Cometeer! I have several videos on my IG & TikTok if you’re interested 🩷
The hobo cousin spring … is it only in Japanese?
