Chatty Hobonichi Journal Flip March '24

[@nikicooper4792]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pages Maike, they are very inspirational. I love your cat drawings, they are so cute! I was wondering if one day you might consider sharing your desk set up and your current journaling supplies? I always find it so interesting to see other people’s creative spaces 💕

[@MaikeOatley]

Thank you for your kind words! I love seeing other people’s desk setup too! I’m currently trying to optimize my desk space and I am looking at switching out my storage solutions. Once I have that all figured out, I’ll film a desk tour ☺️

[@nikicooper4792]

That would be wonderful, thank you Maike! ☺️

Really loved this video ❤ the way you layout your pages with the stickers and your cat images look so gorgeous. And the colours you put together too. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journal - always enjoy :)

[@MaikeOatley]

Aww thank you so much Stephanie! I really appreciate that. There are so many wonderful and lovely monochromatic journals out there that are so inspiring...but I can't resist all the yummy colors, especially now that spring is here :)

Hi Maike, lovely video as usual. It feels like chatting with a friend. 😊 I guess every now and again we all struggle with our journaling routines at some stage. I have to say that your collage pages helped me aaaa ton to pick up on my journaling routine and it always fills me with so much joy to stick those little kitties into my journals. Yay. 🥳 Thank you so so much. 🫂

[@MaikeOatley]

Hi Anja, thank you so much for your sweet comment! I am glad that you feel that you're chatting with a friend as that is how I feel making these videos. And I'm glad to hear that the cats are helping you with your journaling routine, that's encouraging to know. And yes I absolutely agree with you that it's totally normal and ok to have ebbs and flows in our journaling. It's a tool and and a creative outlet, not a job at an assembly line.

[@JaneHull-j8o]

Thank you for sharing. Your journal is a source of inspiration for many.

[@MaikeOatley]

That's very kind of you to say :) Thank you!

I had a bunch of Hanni und Nanni cassettes and I did the same thing when I was a child, then when I was older, I would pull them out when I was sick.

[@MaikeOatley]

Ah yes Hanni and Nanni rings a bell, though I have never listened to those. I think I should also have some Bibi Blocksberg and Benjamin Bluemchen somewhere...

[@crafterdeidra]

I always love your doodles in your journal. Great flip through as always!

[@MaikeOatley]

Thank you Deidra! I'm glad you enjoyed the flip ;)
