✨ 2025 Hobonichi Cousin Set Up 🦋 - Trying to use ALL the pages!

[@melissairl]

it’s always a good day when a new dandelion diaries setup video drops! your videos are so relaxing. i totally agree - no music is a vibe and i’m here for it. thank you for sharing your process!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

💖💖 Thank you 😊😊

[@moxiejournal]

I was already loving this and then you said you wouldn’t be playing music and I hit the subscribe button. (As a person with auditory processing issues, I am so grateful for the respite.) Thank you for your wonderful ideas and inspiration and the quiet so I can think and watch at the same time.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you so much! ❤️️ Welcome to the channel 😊

[@planner_sayra1871]

I truly enjoyed watching this video and getting a bit more insight into your 2025 planner setup! Your ideas on the blank pages (weigh in, books read and exercise tracking) are eye opening! I've thought of these ideas but didn't know how to execute them so your video definitely helped me to see them visually. Can't wait for the next video.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you so much!! 😊 I'm always trying to use all the pages hehe

[@andylanegra-thoughtsfromth7451]

Danielle, you're out here creating freaking masterpiece layouts with these planners. I had to show my roommate that LOTR quote you did for the last planner, with the emphasis "she hand wrote that!" I was inspired by your last reading log in the calendar spaces and this will be my second year with that layout. Love, love, love the green and black aesthetic. I'm obsessed with your moth sticker (I have it housed in my Take-A-Note planner this year). I am excited to see what you come up with for the Wonderland 222 and the Nisha Fernando planners. Those layouts have me intrigued.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Oh my goodness thank you 🥰 I was really tempted to do some quotes again this year but decided to change it up. 💝 I am so glad you enjoy the different layouts! The W222 and NFD are going to be a fun experiment for me, I'm really hoping one of them will be the "ultimate" planner haha

[@morganwentworth2041]

Also, I invested in some clear matte sticky notes and they are so nice because I can use them to experiment with what a filled in spread may look like before actually filling it out

[@JustScribble]

Same

[@mydandeliondiaries]

How fun! I think the transparent stickies are a great idea 💖

[@tanishame]

Thank you for sharing how you not only decorate it but how you track/plan meaningful tasks using the different sections. I am new to the Hobonichi world. This was very helpful!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

You're so welcome! Planners are functional but also fun 😉💖

[@arvillaviya]

Love that you show journal and your sample, I've been looking for scripting videos and majority of them are just talking videos. I'm a visual person and I love seeing examples like yours!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@QuirkyGirlie]

Those tiny scissors are so sharp! I love the washi dashboard and really want to use the large watercolor dragon washi I have!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I love my tiny scissors hehe. OOO your watercolor dragon washi sounds gorgeous!

[@moonykmi]

I started my 2024 with a happy planner notebook, a cloth and paper planner, a poketo project planner, a poketo concept planner and a garden planner. Around august, i decided to try hobonichi and got a cousin and the rest is history. My lineup for 2025 are: 3 hobonichi weeks, a cousin and an A6. 😅😂

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Hahaha the Hobonichi take over!

[@unflitered_ash]

I love this setup!! The cover is cutest!!!! This is the first full yearly hobonichi setup n not just decorating the cover page with stickers n putting transparent cover over it.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you!! I try to use all the pages hehehe

[@LivexLifexLost]

your video may have convinced me to get a cousin next year. This looks so good!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

It is such a fun planner to use!

[@AlinaPlumbLina]

New here and new to the planner community. Really enjoyed you set up video, the washi tape page turned out so well. Lots of fun ideas. I also enjoy no music. Thanks a million for sharing.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thanks so much! 😊 Welcome to the channel!

[@dianazeh7]

Thank you so much for your inspiration! When you were talking about the 100, I was thinking about what I would write down. The first was skydiving and the next was visiting Japan - and then I laughed out loud. Well, let's go for our 100!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Hahah great minds think a like 😉 Maybe a Japan trip is in our near future!

[@404-equivalent4]

This was a really nice and calming videos. It's always fun looking at set-up videos from people and it also made me look at your shop because I really liked some of the stickers you've designed! I'm also back in Hobo Cousin next year and I'm very excited. I used it for the first time in 2023 and realized I really missed it throughout this year. I'm excited to see more of your Hobo related videos :D

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Awesome! Thank you! 🥰 I feel like Hobonichi just feels like home sometimes 😊

[@404-equivalent4]

@@mydandeliondiaries I love just opening the daily pages and jot down my thoughts and feelings

[@tahniguglielmina1715]

Love this so much. Thank you for sharing your inspiration. I got a few things from your shop so I can get excited about my own page mgmt ideas.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you so much!! 💝💝 I hope you enjoy your set up!

[@treevinos]

Really enjoyed watching your setup. It gave me great ideas for the yearly and back pages.😋

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm so glad! 💖 Have setting up your planner!

[@tricotmiss]

I love the Earth sticker & went to the shop to go look at the sheet - they are so pretty!! Would you consider adding a Spirit one (usually a circle shape)? I go my goal setting based on the 5 elements as areas of my life and would *love* a set of stickers to use in the future!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

That is a great request! I will add it to my list :)

[@biomedmaven]

semester is finally over and Ive been looking forward to watching this!!!!!!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I hope your semester went well! 🥰

[@dinolemons9086]

I found your channel fairly recently and have been thriving with the planner setups 💖 I haven't settled for my planner for 2025 yet bc still on the fence between trying something new (a lunar planner) vs keeping the old (OURS Research Project Journal). I've been trying to find more long-form journaling content (on KZbin; I watch a bunch on Twitch) that isn't marketed as being ASMR and I'm really enjoying it here! Can't wait to see what comes in the future!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you for the kind words! ❤️️ I'm glad you're enjoying my videos too 😊 I wish you luck with your 2025 planner choice!

[@lisaaebi8329]

This is so inspiring. You have given me so many great ideas and now I can’t wait to set up my cousin. Thanks for sharing so much.😊

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@PlanitSarah]

I love the finished product!! The way you collaged the stickers inspires me to do the same since it came out so good. The back look great, too (the back cover). Your lettering is beautiful, by the way.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

❤️️❤️️Thank you so much! ❤️️❤️️

[@mydandeliondiaries]

¡Muchas gracias! 💖💖

[@Paula-xp7ve]

New to your channel. Loved the washi dashboard so much I had to stop and do one in my Hobonichi immediately. I wish I’d paid closer attention to the ruler trick. And your little scissors had to be super super sharp! Now back to the video. ….

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I’m glad you enjoyed the washi tape dashboard! For the ruler, just make sure you pressing down firmly and tearing towards the ruler :) And yes, those scissors are SO sharp haha, they are meant for sowing but I made them my baby craft scissors.

[@kimofdiamondz]

I am happy I found your channel ❤. Love your style

Hi from the UK, Thank you for some great ideas to use the Cousin (its my first time next year) - wish me luck :)

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm so excited for you! I hope you love your Cousin ❤️️

[@suista]

thank you!! some great ideas I really appreciate you sharing; I can’t wait to get mine set up (I’ve been holding off)

Have fun! 💖💖

Don't know what you've been trying for screen recording but Loom makes it really easy!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I will look into that! I haven't heard of Loom

Have never clicked on a video so fast 😂

[@maryannschuetz5155]

Outstanding!

[@morganwentworth2041]

My main planner is the Twines and Paper hybrid planner and it will probably not get to me until later in December and it is KILLING me. Not that I need it in my hands much before then 😂

[@mydandeliondiaries]

You can do it!! Waiting is the hardest part 💖

[@LenaMellow]

The reading log in the extra months was a great idea. That ghosting bothered me too much. I went with Hemlock & Oak this year.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm glad you found a paper that works for you! 💝

[@Ashley-d1m]

Ok I just learned about the sticker paper. I’m trying to learn now if I can use any sticker paper like from Walmart and if my printer will do it❤I’m slow with that stuff but it would mean a lot because it’s one major thing I miss with digital planning

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I find my printer handles sticker paper the same as regular printer paper, but you can research how your printer handles thicker paper :)

[@Planner_girl_kel]

I love how the emoti went from a ‘Sir’ to a ‘dude’ 😂😂

[@row_berta_dee]

Where are you star stickers from? Love how the cover turned out

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm not sure, I have had them for a really long time. I may have gotten them from Amazon, or a craft store. They came in a pack of a bunch of different colors!

[@77VJC]

Me looking at the uneven edge of the washi dashboard asking myself if I’m the only one that could literally not leave it like that and sleep at night 👀🤣

[@latinbudget]

Love😊💜💜💜

[@lifewithdebe9777]

Great video! What size nib is your vanishing point?

[@mydandeliondiaries]

It is a 18K fine! (My FAVORITE nib from pilot ❤️️)

[@abbielynnjuett4031]

A suggestion for visiting New York State, please recognize there is so much more to the state than the little appendix island that many of would like to surgically removed. Consider also including visiting the Finger Lakes region. We have history and vineyards here that are fascinating. On Cayuga Lake we have the country's highest waterfall that also comes with a lot of history.

[@somatteson]

And Western NY! From someone else who gets annoyed that New York seems to mean a city 6 hours away 😂

[@mydandeliondiaries]

This is so good to know!! Thank you so much for sharing!! 😊

[@Ashley-d1m]

Hi! Thank you such an inspiring video and sharing your creativity ❤I’ve ordered some of your stickers. My question is who can tell me or help with finding a proper clear cover for hobo cousin? Do I even need one if I’m using an a5 Moterm that I currently have it in? I purchased a clear one from hobo store I think from Amazon and it’s huge:(

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Hi!! Thank you so much for watching and supporting my shop! 💝 You don't need a clear cover unless you want one 😊 I like to have one to protect my stickers and vellum. As for finding the clear cover, here is the exact one I used (it is sold out for now, but Jet Pens always restocks them!) www.jetpens.com/Midori-MD-Notebook-Cover-Clear-A5-For-Codex-1-Day-1-Page-Journal/pd/29902

[@Ashley-d1m]

@ thank you! I like the idea of the clear cover to protect any time we put in to the front/back of our book. I think I will receive notification if it becomes available but I won’t sweat it because I did get a very nice cover to place the planner in🧡looking forward to more videos! Thanks again and I will definitely wait for your products with excitement and order again!!

How do you print your vision board on sticker paper?

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I export the file from Canvas as an image and then print the image to size in my print settings :)

[@arpitabhawal7359]

Hi! I love your ideas. I couldn't use the discount code given on your website though. It says "invalid". I used the code that is featuring on the homepage of your website. :(

[@mydandeliondiaries]

The code is active at 9AM Central Standard Time today 🖤 It should be working now! Send me an email at [e-mail] if it still isn't working!
