😍 love it! i might just have a terrible memory haha but I think I was just the butterflies and not the lovely cat.

The OURS journal layout looks so good, I'm so tempted!! Amazing how you transformed and decorated the cover, love it!

the cover looks so pretty with all the stickers!!!

ok i want that lochby

Really like how your covers turned out! It’s very satisfying to see how good they look together ✨

That is so perfect! I love it! That hobonichi fitting so well is just sublime. So good!

wow, i love love love just how functional this is? i don't have a detailed planning system quite yet because i don't need one in my day-to-day, but in the next few months i expect my needs to change, and i've been wondering what i'll do then. but this setup and take a note in general has given me much to think about!!

the little squeal when the little hobonichi fits on the pocket. I squealed with you haha. Love seeing you setup and YAY TAN club next year

The satisfaction of your little A6 weekly fitting in that pocket was my everything. I may have also said YES out loud. I also have a Take a Note and an A6 weekly, Excited for 2025. Thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas!

You are the second person I’ve seen talk about a North Star journal - is that something specific? Googling led me to an anti-slavery newsletter by Frederick Douglass, but I feel like that’s not what you’re referencing 😅.

I am using a TAN slim biweekly in 2025 too! I’m pairing it with their undated slim weeklies because I need both a vertical & horizontal. I like that they’ll fit in my existing TN system. Though the more I see of the A5, the more I think I might try that for 2026. It’s such a good layout for what I use planners for.

Omg the way you’re stretching the elastic!!! It’s killing me haha

So fun watching both videos from two of my favorite creators!

i feel a little silly saying this a whole month after the video was posted (and sorry if you now know this!!) but the sticker sheets that dont have an artist credited are made by stickii club themselves! over the years theyve been able to collaborate with more and more artists, so those are a rarer sight nowadays i already have all three of these and opened them the day i got them but theres something so fun about seeing other people enjoy them ^^ your enthusiasm is wonderful!

What a lovely idea! & the spread came out so cute too! Those little rice balls were some of my favorite pieces too 😁

"if i'm going to be a hoarder of anything i'm going to be a hoarder of memories" 😭 beautiful!

this is such a cute idea! the spread came out lovely

I love this idea! so fun to have stationery friends! Love the spread.

i love how the spread came out 🧡🧡

Yay for adding in a weekly supplement! I seriously couldn’t function without having a time blocked calendar in front of me at all times. I look forward to hearing what you think about it once you start using it! Also, so sorry to hear about your mom’s cat. I hope you and your family are holding up okay. Sending you positive thoughts in advance of your surgery as well. 💓

Oh my God I love your kitty love love love so cute. I want you to know that I have my gallbladder out. It runs in the family so if any of your parents or your siblings have had it it’s best to just get it out as soon as possible totally sucks and hurts and gets worse and worse so I hope that doesn’t happen to you.❤

love the vibe

Love seeing your plans for 2025! I just love how your break works so creatively 🤌🏼✨I’ve sadly fallen a little out of touch with my journaling hobby and one of my biggest goals for 2025 is to get consistent af with documenting my life in analogue form through my planners and several journals I have lined up. Seeing your line up really helped me think of my process and ideas a bit more carefully, thank you so much friend 🫶🏼 P.s I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss! I can only imagine how it feels to have lost a dear furry family member 🥺 Sending you lots of love and a big hug ✨

Yay to the Zelda music! I'm slowly learning 한국어 and never had a language journal until this year. I chose the Hobo Cousin because it's free enough to give me a small amount per day, but structured enough to encourage me.

love seeing your plans for 2025. journaling is also my longest standing hobby! i love those dots, they turned out super pretty!! 🤩

love seeing all the ways you’re planning and journalling in the coming year!! i hope everything works well! 💛

This was very enjoyable to watch, thanks for taking us through your journal lineup ☺️ and I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️‍🩹 losing a pet is sad.

Hope you are feeling better. And maybe setting up the passport was comforting too. Loved how it came together.

this is such a perfect video for body doubling with <3 thanks for sharing :)

I like to use a pocket TN cover and use passport and pocket sized inserts in it!

Yay for the techo kaigi! This all looks so good Chris! Can't wait to see how it flows for you next year.

excited to see how the journals will end up looking like next year 🤩

Well I’m excited for ya too. I love your enthusiasm. I have made a few freebies for passport size if you want any. I have a few of the same items you bought. I just got my camel (still need to edit my unboxing) enjoy your black. It sounds like you got a good one!! The blue one comes with the yellow golden band but of course you can purchase the restring kit and place it on your black. I see you don’t like jump bands either. I added another string to my TN the way they strung it. Get yourself an embroidery flexible needle (it’s plastic) and you can add another string. It’s pretty much invisible on the outside and it helps 100%. Keep molding that spine in your hand and it will mold to the inserts and fit better. Many don’t realize how much you actually can stuff these leathers and it will look great minimal overhang sorry for the long response.

thanks so much for watching! here is the techo kaigi/ lineup in list form: Functional Planning: Take a Note A5 - Workhorse Digital Monthlies for Pre-Planning Weekly Hobonichi Supplement - Timeblocking Take a Note BiWeekly - North Star / YearBook Memory Keeping & Creative Journaling OURS Journal - Photos and Color Dot a Day A5 Rings - Junk Journaling Hobonichi Weeks - Media Journal TN Standard Grid Insert - Daily Journaling (Processing) TN Vertical Weekly - Daily Log (What happened in the day) Every Day Carry: Passport TN Black Grid Insert - References/ Longterm List Monthly Insert - Health Tracker Morning Pages - A5 Journal (Usually a leuchtturm1917)

Hope you are feeling better today ❤ Passport is amazing! I love passport size so much! As you said - it just fits in hand perfectly! Like it has been created specifically for each hand 😅 It’s small and light, easy to take with you anywhere even without a bag. And so many things in terms of deco fit there! And so easy to fill in page, make it more layered and interesting due to space limitations. I hope you will enjoy using it as much as I loved mine

i like the single charm in the front more than having both charms. very neat setup! also your bakudeku cards that you briefly showed were so cute

omg the way i perked up from my planning when you said maine! hiya fellow mainer! i never seen planners/journallers around heeere!! <3

the daisy charm is cuter <3

i loooove passport TNs! 🤩 so happy to see you move into one! i use one for my wallet and one for my brain dump journal. i hope you heal well from your ER visit also! this was such a lovely video to watch, as always thank you for sharing! 💛

Cutting up field notes feels blasphemous to me 😭 but you do you.. I’d be bothered by the mismatch as well 😂

really enjoyed this video! your setups are always so visually interesting 🤩 i love the photo of the lady you thrifted. i am tempted to work in a small journal now.. 🤔

Oooh! This is so cute! I love it. I love Erin's idea of a "comfort blanket edc". It's so cozy. Can't wait to see this fill up.

😍 you are so talented, everything is stunning! Totally feel you on wanting to design for future me, but also knowing that future me may want to design something differently!

I don’t know if it will be useful to you or if I am doing you a disservice by this news… I found out today that Muji has a planner that has same layout as Hobonichi weeks, but it different sizes (A5, A6 B6, I think). They are very cheap (around $10). Not sure about the paper, as websites are mentioning “high quality paper”. But in case if you need more space for Media journal you now have options.

I love your journal! It's one of my favs I've ever seen! I love everything about it! Thanks for sharing.

tweezers for stickers is so smart! i have squished so many tiny stickers by accident 🤣

You got me really scared there at the beginning 😂 journal update - and you are lightening a match. My brain “Don’t burn it! It can’t be that bad” 😅

There is NEVER a failure of experimenting as the whole point is to try. And you won’t know til you try. When in doubt, try it out.
