February Bullet Journal Setup | 2021

[@andimarus]

i love how everyone does the inspirational motivational quotes and you're over here with the Willy Wonka nostalgia. i'm here for it.

[@sankey1988]

As an Irish person I wholeheartedly appreciate your cursing 🤣 i don't hear too many americans cursing and it's one of my love languages. Us irish people are known to split words up with a curse 🤣 I've been following you on ig for ages but I literally only found out you have a youtube channel and I'm loving it xx

[@MoneriasJournal]

I love that pf her too! Its so genuine! And real! You can’t find this real persons in this type of channel as often.. everyone is super happy and super pink 😆

[@mchobbit2951]

"Look at this garbo line, this GRETA GARBO" oh my god! I am cracking up here. You are so genuine and genuinely funny. You really stand out among the many many bullet journal and planner youtubers.

[@allieyates557]

As a February birthday person, I really appreciate your use of purples versus the typical pink and valentines stuff!

[@lilsxybear6]

Oh my gosh. Im new to journaling and just found your channel. Can i say i love how fing awesome you are. This is great!

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

i'm glad to have you here!

[@harshdesai7483]

Me too

[@stephanienichole3652]

Hahaha! “When in doubt acknowledge your fuck up and move forward” life quotes 🙌🏼

[@MsLaurajudd]

I really enjoy the bullet journal planning. I liked all the others you’ve done too, but I feel your artistic side is grooving. Aesthetically pleasing AF. Still achievable for me who struggles with shit. Thanks for letting us be a part of your family. 🤪

[@VeronicasShelf]

YES to more drawing flowers videos! This setup looks so nice!

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

thank you so much!

[@lulabela1]

I love watching you set up your bullet journal way more than any other planner youtuber people. I think it's because you're awesome and fun and make it all feel very approachable and...well, maybe not easy but doable. Like I finish a video and think that maybe I could be aesthetic AF in my bujo/planner too. And that's coming from someone who doesn't letter or draw. So thanks! Also, Roald Dahl - I was going to go super basic with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but I think it's actually The Witches. And My Uncle Oswald, but that's very much not a children's book.

[@carawewetzer6386]

I adore the quotes you pick. I can't stand inspirational/motivational ones. Love your bujo journey! You really have inspired me to embrace mistakes and flaws and not obsess so much about perfection.

[@cballard540]

I just got your lettering book in the mail yesterday and I haven't been able to put it down. Congrats on writing a book about lettering that actually teaches you lettering. I have bought so many different books and none of them compare to yours. And let's not forget the size, its the perfect size to carry around with you to, like you said, practice whenever and wherever you can. I just wanted to thank you and I can't wait to see whats next

[@DivaPWI]

James and the Giant Peach is my all-time favorite book! Also this is the most amazing looking spread. I love that doodly-messy style since that is also my style!

[@bunnyspellman]

Happy Birthday!! Thank you so much for all you do and share, and for being you!! You are a joy to watch here on KZbin.

[@RiverGrad07]

The palette is so pretty! Roses are for June! This Gemini loves them!

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

purple and green is a longtime favorite of mine! in the summer we've got some sort of morning glory situation growing on our back fence and in the morning there is this gorgeous burst of purple and green! (right now it's a bunch of branches lol)

[@EmilySuess]

Love these spreads. The purples with green really speak to me. I keep gravitating to them in trying to find a palette I can stick with for my website and junk.

[@valerienilausen8410]

I love how cut-flowers-half-page situation turned out - but I felt every second of your anxiety with that exacto knife. Which is personally why I’m never that adventurous my pages.

[@rachel2journal]

So satisfying to watch. Your humor makes me smile. I enjoy your instructional/coaching bits throughout, like how to shade or draw something.

[@creatingwithdonna]

Love this!! I could watch you draw and do bullet journals all day!! Love your channel and chats!!!💜

[@lafemmerouge4271]

Loved it, especially the cutout! I read the Borrowers as a kid...and still do as a grown woman. ❤️📚

[@emo.ly87]

Matilda was my favorite as a child; but the BFG was a close second (and it is my FAVORITE to read aloud to my own kids...you get to say so many funny things). Also, years before I even wanted kids, my husband and I went to some book store that was going out of sale and I bought a box set for “some day just in case we do have kids” because those books were such an enjoyable part of my childhood.

[@bummerdawn]

I almost didn't like it because you had 69 likes, but I love this set up so much I couldn't not! The sleep quote is hilarious! See you Sunday.

[@debra9916]

I didn’t discover Roald Dahl until I became a teacher. My students love all of his books, especially The Witches. I didn’t learn to enjoy reading until 6th grade when I found The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. That set me off on a reading binge that I carry on to this day. 😊 P.S. Two of my favorite children’s books are The One and Only Ivan and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. They are great for adults, too, and I highly recommend them to anyone 8 and older.

[@Angela-bg6vi]

I want to be you when I grow up! I love to watch you doodle!!! More doodle videos would be great! I am trying my best to learn. I can't wait for your new book.

[@jessicaknox4837]

So did anyone else read Matilda as a kid, try to Do The Thing, and then get sad/annoyed when you couldn’t move stuff with your brain? Or was I a weirder kid than I thought?

[@laniemercier5711]

I loved your last flower doodle video! It relaxed the f out of me because I watched it before a really frustrating meeting, and doodling during that meeting is probably the only thing that stopped me from yelling at my boss! 😂 Please do another one with those pretty violets

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

I'm glad to help haha

[@LynS216]

Love the color scheme you chose! My birthday is in Feb, so I love the amethyst color w/ that green. It’s definitely very rich looking. Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry was one of my favorite books as a kid.

[@IshmielMantooth]

I absolutely love the way the light shines in from the yard on your page! And I love the way you send that song. This account has really inspired me to keep going with my flawed and all channel ❤️

[@chelseafletcher8821]

I loved your little rant on doing what works for you. I started out bullet journaling thinking I needed to have certain spreads and have them a certain way but the whole point is that you are creating something that is all your own and the spreads need to be what works for you otherwise there is no point in doing them unless you just like to draw ..I guess... Anyways, love your set up and always keeping things real.

[@wendybowman5871]

The Secret Garden is one of my favorite children centric books. I was a weird kid and read things like The Hobbit/Lord of Rings series and The Metamorphosis by Kafka quite young. Mom had the Reader Digest kids versions of many other classics too like Moby Dick & The Three Musketeers. A punishment for a while was to copy pages from the giant unabridged dictionary we had until Mom realized we liked reading it.

[@533134]

I loved box car children, babysitters club and the dear America series

[@lbeard7661]

I still love Matilda. And the movie was delightful.

[@Lu.G.]

Love this! *Yes* to more _doodling flowers_ how-tos! 🤓

[@tcconnection]

Are you able to consistently fill everything out? I have no motivation. But I have high stress and just getting through the day is a success.

[@Worldtinkerer]

I LOVE this month's spreads! The colors, the style, everything. I'm Swedish so a lot of my childhood book loves aren't widely known - except for Astrid Lindgren's books, of which my favorites were Ronia the Robber's Daughter and The Brothers Lionheart.

[@aragona199]

I feel like I need to use your "KABLUUUURM" as a message alert tone. So even if I get bad/annoying news I'll laugh first XD I love you

[@angelafasold962]

Words to live by... “When in doubt, just acknowledge your fuck up and move forward.”

[@annec8127]

You're really killing it with the stamping!

[@JadetheCreeper182]

My favorite book is Matilda for sure. I also have fond memories of the Twits

[@lareinaolson3460]

I am a HUGE Raoul Dahl fan! I think I liked "The Witches" best! The BFG was also one of my favorites!

[@carolhutner9441]

WOW! Just when I think your videos can’t get any better you surprise me. Curse away! Love your openness because it’s so you. Happy early birthday. 🎂 Will be watching on the 31st! Sunday at 2:30pm is always scheduled in my planner. 👍🌻

[@catoroest6989]

Love this theme!👏✨💜 My favorite book of Roald Dahl is The Twits🙃

[@Cup13Cakr]

I read Matilda and The Witches sooo many times when I was a kid!!!

[@spirited_grace]

Fun set up. Thank you, again. YES to a video drawing flowers! CGB-style.

[@kimberlyh8201]

yes would love to see the color palette video and the more detailed flower doodle videos! maybe also one on your line shading techniques!

[@PlanwithLaken]

I can’t wait to hear if you love the hatch! It has helped my sleep so much!!

[@jennifermerk7693]

The BFG was my jam for a long time as a kid. Love Roald Dahl! I need to start adding those books to my collection.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

that was RJ's favorite - he'd sleep with that book

[@jennifermerk7693]

@@CindyGuentertBaldo smart kiddo! My daughter was big into the Matilda movie-I need to find the book for her.

[@kimroberts8113]

Love the theme and your flowers. And those Tombow purples 😍😍😍

[@jameslawrence6710]

I was multitasking and listening, but looking at another window. I looked at "Well it doesn't look... heinous" and my mouth fell open. You did THAT and it looks great. You aren't even done yet! Gah!

[@karenwyzwmnbrown5853]

I’m always completely fascinated watching your work...such talent!

[@marycnhatch4934]

Hatch Tracker.....LOL. I resemble that remark, oh HI Mark!

[@effietymony2985]

Matilda is my favorite as well.

[@nicstyl]

Matilda is my fave, too! ❤

[@robinbowman6991]

The Enchanted Forest Chronicles were my favorite books as a kid, and I still like going back and re-reading them, they hold up!

[@wendybowman5871]

If I have a small stamp, I’ll brush the large tip of a Tombow over the surface instead of trying to find an inkpad that wont bleed through my pages. Tombow markers tend not to bleed unless heavy

[@lupe1808]

My birthday is February 27th . I always wanted the birthstone to be a sapphire or turquoise because i am obsessed with blues and blue-greens.

[@raeelizabeth8942]

Handwriting goals!!!

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

awww thanks!

[@kimowen9665]

I've read a lot of Roald Dahl and my favourites as a child were George's Marvellous Medicine (he blows up his horrible gran) and The Twits! Really love the spread, I'm new to bullet journaling and your channel is my fav!

[@PollyCarpenter]

The Twits! Yes! Cindy if you haven’t read it (or listened - the audio book is fantastic) you will love it - hilarious and irreverent. Your kids (even at their ages) would find it hilarious too. Kim, thanks for the rec of George’s Marvelous Medicine.

[@RiverGrad07]

My favorite Roald Dahl book is Danny Champion of the World. It's not a super popular one but it's amazing!

[@inkstampandscrap]

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad you like the Stampin Mat 🙂

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

Thanks again! i was a skeptic but shit dude it worked SO WELL

[@aliyyahj]

I love the colour palette this month! And the theme! 💕💕

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

thank you! i love purple and green together so much

[@aliyyahj]

@@CindyGuentertBaldo its the perfect non valentine February theme as it actually relates to February!

[@PrincessMia1078]

Maybe this is too extra, but could you do a series of videos over simple bullet journal themes? Like where you take each drawing a little slower and show a couple variations on it? You could have a couple main elements and show a couple small details that could be used to fill up empty space. I’m relatively new to decorating my bullet journal, and I’m having to think of really simple themes that I can decorate with. Last month’s was bubbles and this month is going to be Tetris - both pretty simple to draw

[@art.by.lurinda]

I love love the flowers ❣

[@StephanieGood]

I must have liked it because the book that always pops into my head from elementary school is Strider. I don't remember hardly anything about it other than a child who went blind and his guide dog. Part of me wants to read it again, but I'm not sure I want to read that with an adult PoV. I can't remember much else from then so it must have struck a chord.

[@maryregan6114]

Roald Dahl books -- so hard to choose, but overall I'm going to say The Witches bc I read it as an adult and literally LOL'd and read sections to my Reading Group. After that comes James and Giant Peach, I know it's a dark horse, but I absolutely love it! After that the Charlie books probably. Confession: I haven't read Matilda, but now Cindy, I will amend that! Gorgeous setup and HAPPY F'KNG BIRTHDAY YOU QUEEN YOU!!

[@hollyburley1]

Really like the addition of the flower demo. And the quote font is beautiful!

[@lifehappenswithsarah8140]

I haven't read all of Dahl's books, but my favorite out of the ones I've read is The Witches.

[@ritamckenna-cohen8075]

I love the colors! I am struggling with sleep right now. Curious to hear about the Hatch. I am working on reducing caffeine right now.

[@Rojo731]

Three minutes in the first video of yours I that I have seen, and I already love you. Hilarious!

[@nadiabarksdale3959]

the Ramona Quimby books are my fave childhood books! Plus the Super Fudge/4th grade nothing books. edit: how could I forget The Witches... my fave Roald Dahl for sure.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

omg i loved the shit out of Ramona. I identified HARD with Beezus lol

[@deadmelodies]

The Witches! Oh I adored that book as a kid, still do! I have vivid memories of reading it in class on a rainy day (which of course as a LA gal, those are are rare all around). I supposed it added to the ambiance. haha Btw, I quite enjoyed the HBO Max version. Though Angela Hudson is forever the best Grand High Witch. lol I haven't read Matilda actually, I'll add it to my TBR.

[@brittney3165]

so you basically picked the color palette of your Mac desktop background hahaha. it looks great and i hope you're happy in it! Are you liking the voiceover more than talking through as you're prepping? I would think it takes a bit of stress off the actual prep since you can set up in private and edit out what you don't want to include later...
