thanks for sharing chelsea! i always love to hear your intentions behind your choices😊 your decisions definitely make sense with your little one coming soon! and yay five year! it’ll be great to have that documentation soon after they’re born! i’m starting a new one next year as well and am trying to find pen/ink combos that work. so far, several sailor inks like those from the shikiori line and sailor seiboku have worked well with the pilot iro-itsushi dip pen in fine. i will let you know if i find others😊

Always love seeing techo kaigi! That 5 year techo looks so nice! On another note, I watched your chocolate advent calendar videos last year and I was able to get in on this year's calendar restock! I just had day 1 and it's amazing so far! These next few weeks will go by quick and baby will be here before you know it! Congrats and hope everything is going well!

Always love seeing your setups. ❤

YAY!! So excited to see how your creative journey changes and flows once the little one comes along. Always love your insights, friend!

I got the 5 year notebook after seeing your haul because I fell in love with the whole gift set! I am determined to keep writing in it consistently and I hope I don't fall behind.

I’ve personally had trouble with Cafe note, A6 size though- didn’t like my Zebra Sarasa Dry I’ve moved away from smaller grids due to hand issues so nbd 🤷‍♂️

You can make a baby journal that should be nice🎉❤

thank you for talking us through your systems! it was so nice to see what has worked for you and what you’re adapting. :)

What a fun flip through. I hope you're having fun with dragon's age.

Thanks for sharing! Always like a peek in your planning a new journal system. 🎉

Chelsea, thank you for sharing your techo kaigi. I really appreciated your response and approach to the inconsistencies with TRP S 2025 paper, I thought you were very measured and love your intention to make use of journal for the next 5 years. As for my TNs, they will be my memory keepers one for stationery related pop ups and event and another for CA pen show.

Ah congratulations for your new chapter :) It's nice to see an update of your low spend, thanks for being honest and taking us through your thought process. I'm also doing a low spend this year and I've set up a strict budget for each month, so if I ran out of funds this month then I'll save it for the next month, or if I overspend this month then I won't buy anything next month. So far it's been good and having a notion budget planner helps a lot :)

So excited for you! 🎉❤🎉

Omg congratulations!! Wishing you the best on this new chapter!! Also thank you for the amazing videos 🫶😊

I wish this event would come to NYC! I would love to make my own notebook

Aah!! Chelsea, the random sample sale got me too 😆🤭

That’s so exciting! Congratulations! ❤

Congrats on your baby - how exciting! I have 3 kids and yeah, purse or bag options depends on your lifestyle. Obviously when you go out without baby, it’s like normal, otherwise every bag seems too small and not enough space to carry all the things. Or you mostly only need your baby things and don’t want to keep track of so many bags…. It’s a challenge for sure but you’ll eventually figure out what work for you and your family. I think strict no spends are hard because in the end, suddenly spending a lot as a reaction after a no spend period can still result in spending too much. Some kind of budgeting probably makes more sense… thanks for sharing your thoughts! I think there’s only ever going to be more to buy and prices are increasing, so this topic is always on top of mind!

omg low key expecting!!!! congrats, Chelsea!!! also, love your restraint on the Road Trip TN. I was not as successful lol.

We were there too and it was so much fun! Thanks for sharing the footage! ❤

From one Chelsea to another this is great! Thank you for sharing! When I saw that San Francisco got the red stamp I was so jealous 😂 (red is my favorite color) but I totally agree that it was nice that each city got a different color.

Thank you for sharing. I'm living vicariously through you. Do you have any idea if they will sell on the trc website?

I love your notebook choices, it turned out really nice. The leather tags are really nice. I missed the Long Beach one for the second time in a row. Its nice seeing so many videos about the caravan in different places. Maria

this looks amazing

Chelsea, thank you for sharing your beautiful footage of the event!! I just love how you were so intentional with your process on creating your notebook! ☺️

I think it’s so brave of you to work on your journal in a café. I think I’d feel too self-conscious because I’d be worried that everyone was staring at me.

I love your organization skills. You have so many cute things. This was very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

great video! I love the cute little fox sticker on the back of your planner that says "stay curious"!

Super-nice video. So relaxing and beautiful. Thanks!

Where do you get the lovely cream coloured plotter sheets eg at 16:30 please?

I really enjoyed the quiet and calm of this video. It makes me feel that I am there with you drinking coffee.

Love the vibes!

Oh wow! Where have you been hiding all this time? I'm so glad I've found you. New sub here ❤

Gorgeous. Please point me in the direction of the best tutorial to make a paper trashcan. 😊

I love the way it turned out

I really needed this chill video, thanks Chelsea. I believe the only way to eat a croissant is to eat inelegantly haha.

What was the slightly smaller book with green and yellow trim we saw in the beginning of your video? Also do you mind if I ask where you got the elastic band with a Traveler Notebook button ? I’ve never seen that before. Thank you!

What a fun tour

I store all my stationery items in the Ikea utility cart! It is so handy and I can roll it to where my desk is

omggg this video reminded me of my classiky grid roll. Where did I put it? 😅

I bought the 1180 for 2025. I’m still deciding what I want to do with it

have been really into Taiwanese artists in the past few months! One day, my friends and I would love to be able to experience the creative expo in Taiwan

If you pack the Plotter so full you can’t close it probably, you have defeated the whole purpose of buying a Plotter. I have the leather ring protectors. And paper. No pen loop. No elastic thing. No dividers. I don’t use it as a dated planner. Just my To Dos. I use one 3x5 card for each day with any errands and Dr. appointments for just that day. I use the Plotter for a master to do list broken up into categories. House maintenance. Exercise. Food diary.

What a great haul. Judy is so thoughtful

Thank you Chelsea as always for the support ❤❤ No amount of extra gifts can represent my appreciation and love for you these last few years and with many more to come 🥺! Missing you and always thinking of you whenever I can ❤

Did you make the pockets etc? So cute!

The TSL goodies are gorgeous!! ❤

What a nicely curated collection of stationery/journaling supplies. Thanks for sharing. I also like the Daiso Corn pouch. I love the look of the Rickshaw pouch, the graphic is so nice.

I love all of them but especially the corn pouch

My favorite is still the corn pouch from Daiso, it’s so silly and cute
