August Bullet Journal: Witchy Cottage Theme Plan With Me ✨

[@rutemarper]

Hi Erin, as a girl that likes watching livestreams, just do them at different times, even if its not a lot of time. people who can join will, and people who don't will watch the replay. don't worry too much about time zones, and just do them :)

[@JadeReads_2019]

I agree. I don't mind watching the relay to be honest!! I still love them

[@britt_journals]

As a Canadian I'm always happy to catch things on "the replay" as the kids say lol. Keep doing what you're doing Erin!

[@beckatea]

As a practicing witch, I do appreciate witchy themes all year long 💜✨ And you are especially good at creating them!

[@ErinSmith]

You’re the sweetest Becka! I really do enjoy them too! 🥰

[@amypoole30]

Don't worry so much on the Lives. Yes it would be fun to be on a live and just like with Jashii, you will have a team replay! I would be thrilled to be a part of your team replay for your lives. You are great about getting back to us with responses and that shows you care about your audience. That means the world to us as your subscribers. You are a fabulous creator to watch and I am happy, just that I found you amongst other great creators. You have a wonderful way of explaining things and a great eye for designs. So keep up the great work and team replay will be here for you too!

[@themission137]

a witchy theme for august, my birth month? it's like a birthday present to me! also that wink was ✨crisp✨

[@ErinSmith]

My kpop dance days trained the wink into me and now it will never leave! 😉 and YAY happy early birthday! 🥰🥰

[@steppy3736]

Well early Happy Birthday!

[@solar1913]

Erin….I am trying to stop buying stickers and washi here. You are not helping! 😊 This is one of my all time favourite of yours. I do not mind that it is coming in the middle of summer because it will give me time to prepare for September or October set up. I do have some exact or similar stationaries but I just need to get some of those bugs stickers. I have bought the Lunar Mystery set but had no idea how to use it. I was stuck in a « must be with black stationary » and was to witchy/esoteric for me. But apparently it can be used with sepia tones and be beautiful! So thank you very much I now know how to use it. The theme/decoration is perfect for monthly journal but I think I will also duplicate in my book journal.

[@ErinSmith]

🤣 I’m sorry! But also yay I’m glad I could help! 🥰

[@hillarybigham5872]

I agree with others on here. Different times live streams so everyone gets a chance to join. And the replays are always fun to watch too! We love you and we’ll take what we can get! ❣️😍 This theme is exactly what I’ve been trying to picture for my October! Light witchy stuff! Love it!

[@veronicabazoni8120]

As someone who lives in Brazil, it's refreshing watching a channel that the person lives in the south hemisphere too. I always like that your vibes are more similar to ours over here when we're talking about the seasons, for instance.... Just do your live stream whenever you can, dear 🥰

[@KellyAK]

Love this theme!! Im always ready for cosy witchy vibes ❤ I am based in Cambridgeshire in the UK, so it's summer in theory, but it's been rainy and grey for a lot of it, so a cosy theme is not out of place.

[@dr.janaleewagner1177]

As someone who is living while you sleep, don't worry about your live schedules. You have to do what works for you and I'll just watch the video ❤

[@julielavers3394]

What a great setup! I love the papers you used and the stickers you made. 🎀

[@MandyInMelbs]

Erin, this theme is gorgeous, love the colours and definitely feels cosy. I follow a lot of channels for lots of different interests and although I miss many live streams I understand and still look forward to watching them after. I am in Australia also but I guess my point is, I think most reasonable people understand. Love the earrings 🤩. So dainty and pretty

[@annaagafonova2614]

I’m watching from Argentina 👋 So your theme fits perfectly, it’s very cold right now and I’m all for cozy vibes!

[@cherylmccallum725]

Hi Erin, I am up here in Canada. This month's theme is beautiful . I like the livestreams, but I am just as happy to watch the replay. You should do them when it suits you!🌒

[@alyxbeauchamp7883]

Totally do the livestreams at your convenience! People who can join will but people who can will watch a replay! (I am in MN, usa!)

[@beth.watson]

Hi Erin! South African here, so it's winter for me too. You're 8 hours ahead, so it would be tough to attend a live. Luckily I enjoy the replays

[@juliangelus]

That music is amazing, please use it for your halloween videos :) I don't mind if I can make a livestream or not, I'm just as happy watching on the replay. What a gorgeous set up.

[@michaeltbarrett6127]

It’s been very warm this winter in Brazil too… such a shame because I love the cozy winters. Oh well 😊 loved the theme!

[@ErinSmith]

Thank you so much! I’m the same, I love winter. Hopefully next year haha!

[@Zahrah.M]

Girl i G a s p e d looking at the thumbnail!! This is the kind of theme I love, vintage celestial ✨ Also I did not know ana luisa had silver jewelry… i am a cool toned gal too so i will def have to check their page out

[@Sarahbee23]

Great Summerween vibes for the northern hemisphere!

[@ErinSmith]

It’s a little late for the actual southern hemisphere Samhain but 🤷‍♀️ I was just so keen!

[@Haffina]

Love the vibe!

[@VioletPhoenix922]

It’s kind of you to want to include everyone each time you set up a live, but that’s an impossible goal, so let yourself off the hook for it!! I’m happy to be Team Replay on livestreams I can’t catch live. No worries! I knew when I signed up for your channel that I wouldn’t always catch everything because of the time difference, so this is not news to me. Even the ones that are decent time for me sometimes are when I’m personally busy, so I catch them on the replay too. That’s just how life is! Schedule them when they work for you, vary them if/when you can to give people in different areas at least the opportunity to catch some of the lives, and then let the rest go. People will understand (and if they don’t or can’t, that’s a them problem, not a you problem).

[@ErinSmith]

You’re so kind Deb 💕 thank you

[@noornamu6677]

You inspire me to try more collage themes ❤️❤️

[@steppy3736]

I adore this theme! It's so perfect! Gives me "healing woman" vibes. I think it's perfect for August too. I imagine your healing woman using this layout to create her physick, healing herbs, and distilleries.

[@debiulmer3672]

I love theme. My favorite one so far that you’ve ever done and I think I’ve been watching you for a couple years now. My location in Houston, Texas, USA.

[@ErinSmith]

Thank you so much Debi! This one really surprised me, I'm so happy with it - usually when I wing it I don't love the results this much!

[@plancreatecope]

I’m in the US and I love your channel.

[@natalieeforsyth]

I’m in Adderbury, Oxfordshire, UK 🥰 Also, I would be more than happy to watch your livestreams back on a replay!

[@ErinSmith]

My goodness I want to visit your part of the world Natalie! October can’t come fast enough! 😍

[@mistyblack3895]

I’m in the PNW in the US! I’m always down for anything you make! The music this time was pretty cool!

[@ErinSmith]

I’m so glad you liked the music! I have fun trying to match it to my themes 🥰

[@jackiesuza2665]

Love your videos. I just missed your live stream a few hours ago. I live in Hawaii. The time you were streaming I was working.

[@JadeReads_2019]

I'm from Leicester in the East Midlands Uk and to be honest even though it's summer it certainly feels more like Autumn here! I definitely am feeling more autumnal here rather than summer so this videos was perfect!

[@ErinSmith]

I’m so glad Jade! It seems like you guys aren’t really getting a summer this year, and my city’s not really getting a winter 😅

[@JadeReads_2019]

Typical British weather for you but it’s nice this morning so it could change 😂

[@mistysidorov189]

I finished my first journal completely this month! The last theme I did was "scrapbook fairy-tale" so I think that this is just the point in the year where we're ready for spooky/autumn vibes all around the world! I love the theme and the layout as usual, Erin. Thank you for the inspiration and I hope your holiday goes well ❤

[@FantasyGuide]

Hi Erin, I love your videos and this setup looks awesome. 🥰 I'm from Germany , but actually it feels like living in the tropical rainforest... We had looooots of rain in the last couple of days with nearly 30°C... I would like to watch a livestream at weekends, because I'm a "nightowl" and watch TV, read books or do a little bit of journaling til the late night 😀 And... your lovely stickers and washis aren't very helpful to stop myself from bying more stationary 😉

[@MaFinCL]

Cozy is how i stay cool😅 heat wave here and sitting in front of a fan watching fall videos with rain sounds playing 😂 this was a beautiful theme.

[@missneko79]

My birthday is in August and this is VERY much my vibe so I love it! I'm in the US so it is hot but that never stops me from be comfy, cozy, and witchy ;) I also used my Stickii envelopes in my journal so that was fun to see here.

[@MeowMyselfandI]

I'm from Iceland and I settled long ago that most livestreams are in the middle of the night for me lol Absolutely do not worry about it and just do them whenever works for you. I enjoy watching them after the fact sometimes so there's always that. Also really love this setup! The vibes are impeccable

[@emilykump2298]

My fave spread here is the content planner I love how the washi tapes look together!

[@traceythibault4946]

I love today's video and i been writing in my bullet journal and i added lots of stickers in it i am from nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦

Thanks Tracey! Love right back from the land Down Under! 🥰

[@shansbo217]

This is quite lovely.

[@ErinSmith]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@airavanya]

Your video inspired me to do something like this with my work planner. With my assignment change next year and more responsibility, I need to be organized and the monthly set up will be great stress relievers. Your journal looks great. :)

[@MidnightChimeraStudio]

Totally love this theme!

[@akane-chaan]

This is actually very lovely, I'm very excited to fall myself! I'm from Norway so I am completely on the other side of the planet, where are you heading for your vacation if I may ask? ^-^ I hope you get a lovely stay wherever you go.

[@Kirsui]

I really love the vibes of your theme this month. I'm going for an academia theme in my journal for August and this definitely has given me some new inspiration on how to setup the rest of my pages that I've yet to make. I'm from Finland, and despite it being summer here, it's actually relatively cold haha. We're mostly having rain and wind at the moment where I am, and I am definitely cozied up with blankets and tea for most of the days. That brush tipped fountain pen is certainly intriquing. Never thought a brush tip was even an option if I'm completely honest, but I do love the way you used it (the ink is also a very beautiful colour). Might have to look into getting one too sometime in the future. :o

[@sundayh6634]

It’s July here but honestly I’m already decorating for autumn. So this theme is perfect ❤

[@corwyn-corduroy]

Thank you so much for showing off the Lumos pen! That's exactly what I've been looking for as a birthday present for my mom! 😄

[@ErinSmith]

She’s going to love it! It’s the niftiest little thing!

[@Ayumi033]

It was really refreshing to see your theme in July. I'm living in Hungary and the weather is just killing us recently with 40 degree. We have not used to such warm weather 😅 My fav season is still autumn, so I could set up my whole BuJo in cozy theme 😁

[@EmilyS-CRPS]

I'm in Carson City, Nevada, USA. I try to catch lives even at 4 am. 😅

[@amypoole30]

I wanted to add this is my first time in A5. My goals kept getting lost in my Big lined disc bound frankenplanner. So I grabbed 2 A5's and started a goals and R&D journals.

[@chfr1967]

Beautiful spread. Love Jashii, so totally get it. Bring on the cozy spreads. Summer is my least favorite season. I understand we need it for the health of the planet and food that we eat. But I have been rewatching movies with lots of snow to try and have cooler thoughts. Christina 🦝

Absolutely love how this theme came out. It's so gorgeous. 🥰

I am based in the UK. But always watch after the live

[@miamarshall2109]

Hi Erin, I'm South African so I totally get the cozy desire right now. It never snows here in Winter, but last year we had one day of snow, but none this year and it's still cold.

[@ErinSmith]

That’s amazing Mia! It never snows here in Brisbane either, I wish it did 😅

[@nourin_siddique]

I SEE ITTT I SEE ITTT AAAAAAAAAAAAA You really need to do a scrapbooking spread with these since u seem to love them so much hahah....I usually watch livestream reply so dw just do them and enjoy the process. Being in GMT+6 is the worst timezone for livestreams and webminars unless the host is in Japan xDD Also, I notice Jess's favourite peony washi tape hehe

[@ErinSmith]

🤣🤣🤣 she’s INKY! Now I just need to ink up some of the Actual Fountain Pens in my drawer 😅

Oh forgot to mention, I died with that wink tooo just gorgeous. And hey you are just stealing a Lamy Al-star not a hoddie from your partner. xDD

[@merakelley-yurdin7691]

hi erin! i am on the east coast of the US. time zones are so hard! it would be cool to be able to join live, but i also like watching after. do what works for you, it's impossible to please everyone & those of us who get it will be here :)

I'm in South Africa - so mid winter, but kind of on the same time zone as the UK and Europe.

[@TheConsultingReader]

August is my birthday month, and I hate summer. So it’s super nice to see a cosy witchy August theme for once. I’m feeling very blessed this year here in the UK because we’re having lots of dull days and moderate temperatures. (I’m used to heat and humidity in the summer from where I lived before moving).

[@steppy3736]
