I am from the Caribbean and thinking of doing my own type of stationery... I am a stationery lover...so why not embrace it ❤ you enspired me to go for it. Thank you ❤
So wonderful watching a proudly South African video!!💓💞 my prayer is that your business grows into a thriving internationally acclaimed business! God bless you!💕💞
I saw your video, and I love the scriptures you included in the teacher planners! I can see God providing at each step and I will be praying that He will bless your business and it will grow...allowing you to make more money than you ever thought and bringing glory to Him at the same time! Oh, and "apple"!
Apple. Thank you for sharing your story! I've had a long-term closet dream of making planners as well, but I've never felt like it was something I could actually DO. Hearing your story helped ground my mind and make me realize it's not only possible, but ideal to start small and work my way up!
This is amazing. 2 weeks ago I came across a video on how to create your own notebooks and i fell in love with the idea that this could be a great business venture since I love creating greeting cards ect. Thank u so much for this video. It has truly inspired me to venture into this notebook Journaling business. I am also a South African, durban and can relate to the challenges you face. I am so exited to start designing and creating my very first notebook. I wish you all the best for your business. Stay blessed.
Wow, the planners look amazing. Beautiful! And you did it all by yourself! Congrats! I know this feeling of being „restricted” in a way - most of these type of videos are from the US and I sometimes feel jealous of their bigger client base and planner/scrapbooking industry being so big and popular. It’s more difficult for people like you or me but nonetheless , here you are, you’ve made it! Sending love from Poland!
Apple ... I am a small printing business in the UK and have been inspired by your determination. As an ex SA pat I subscribed and look forward to more videos on how you are doing. Keep it up girl. Can't get enough of the accent. Kisses ...
Apple 🍏. I teared up when I saw the scriptures, may God bless you beyond your wildest dreams and knock your socks off in the process. I'm currently in the beginning stages of setting up my art business (I'm an acrylic painter in Canada) and stumbled across your video searching for business strategies and learning from other creative individuals like yourself. Your video sure inspired me and gives me hope that my business will be launched and take off.
I too have a handmade spiral bound book business. Your books are absolutely beautiful! I took a look at your Etsy shop and would like to suggest that you create more books like the $40. one but leave off the suggestion that it is only for South African teachers. You will get way more sales if it is for all teachers. I am also a homeschool teacher. Teachers are always using planners so you are definitely on the right track.
Apple 🍎. Thank you so much for sharing. I shall check out your course. I really like paper and paper products and enjoy crafting with paper and threads, yarn and just about anything that can be upcycled. All the very best with your business. I pray it will grow leaps and bounds! Blessings
Great job I really like it and I'm willing to follow your steps and make such a business in my country specially after looking for a planner for my school for too long without finding what I really was looking for .. So this idea will solve my problem as well as many students who are facing the same thing .. thank you so much and keep going !
APPLE!🍏 Hey I'm a new subscriber, I'm from South Africa too. Thank you for your inspiration! I would love to start my own small business too, you made me more excited to go for it🤭 I'm proud of you for how far you've made it with your business and may it grow more and become even more successful!🥰❤
You are very inspiring, I've been stuck with a business plan half done due to insecurity of whether or not I will be able to get funding. I guess it's a matter of mind over matter and just getting started with every additional rands I have each month 🍏 wishing you all the success you deserve. ❤
I am watching your videos they are very inspiring and beautiful. By far you’re the one person who has shown the whole process of making planners from scratch in each of your videos. I am stay at home mom, your work has inspired me to motivate myself to regenerate my long lost creativity. In the holy month of Ramadan, I am closely watching your videos and learning from you a lot. May god bless you😇 and fulfill all your dreams 💭
Awww I love this! Great job:) I was just thinking it’d be great if I could hire you to make specific planners for my business & then you said you can’t ship to US. Lol. Love that you put scriptures in it!!! God Bless your business!!!
Most printers come with a subscription. Like hp with insta ink which is like 4 pounds per month. Plus they do paper also so you're saving a ton every year on ink.
@DEARAfrikaCommunications thanks so much! It's been a few years now since I started and I'm still going strong. My next video will be going up this weekend and will help you start your business. So make sure your notifications for my channel is turned on! 🌸
Apple!!!!!! Thanks for this video. I am just starting to phathom the idea of a stationary business in my country (Panamá, Central America) and your video gave me hope.
Apple! I just subscribed!! I recently stocked up on some paper and stickers! I am going to learn junk journaling and bookbinding, and I am going to start making recycled paper, too! I want a stationery business so bad! I am ready to devote myself to learning the arts of various paper crafts! Thank you for sharing your start! I am in America, by the way! 🥰 I’ve never had a job (I’ve tried 🥺) but really I feel like my whole life has been leading up to this moment of having my own stationery business! 🥲
Always fun clicking on something on TH-cam and hearing that SA accent! May your business grow bigger and bigger each day! Sending love, from a Saffa in the US❤️

This is so relatable. I'm from Ukraine and it's impossible even to register on Etsy 🥲
I’m from the US. It’s actually quite intimidating to start any kind of business here because there is so much competition.
I love everything you do. ❤🏅🏅🏅
I just saw this for the first time! Blessings to you in your business! I did watch all the way. Love your story.
Apple. Best luck and success for your business!!! Your books look soo beautiful, they truly make us want one to bound with. 🍀🍀🍀
I miss the scented stationery when I was a child. You inspire me to make my own. Apple🍎

Howcan using your own printer give you àa profit? Cartidge prices are skyhigh???
