"Friendly" is the perfect word for your book! I love it so much- so cute and cozy feeling. That "contact" card is very charming. 🧡

Thank you so much :) I'm glad that it comes across as friendly to you too! It's amazing what an impact a couple of stickers can have to the feeling and connection of a book

Always love watching your videos. This weeks cover is so “cottagecore” and matches perfectly with your adorable cat stickers. I almost went with the Harvest plaid too, but decided on the Paddington Weeks. With my back pages, I usually don’t section them out, I just use the next page, but perhaps I will this year! I am using my weeks notebook this year to keep track of my life with our first baby on maternity leave. Exciting!
@MaikeOatleyАй бұрын
I agree, it's very cottagecore, I didn't even realize that before you brought it up! The Paddington Weeks is sooo adorable too! I think they did a great job with that whole line of products. And how precious that you're using it to document life with baby!

I love your comfort page. That vintage card is so adorable! A month or so ago I saw a video from someone I don't normally watch, so I don't remember who she is, but she flipped through her Hobonichi Weeks from previous years. She laughed about how she decided one year her word of the year was "Potato". Another year it was "Moist" with something else, but I can't remember what. Something else similarly fun! Previously my words of the year have been things like "Simplify", "Calm", "Peace", but for 2025, I decided - why not - I'm going with "Coffee"! I like coffee, I have coffee scrapbook paper to use for my Weeks cover, I have coffee stickers, my most used Tombows are #942 and #992 (with #761), so I'm just going to embrace the coffee theme! Am I organized? I won an award at my company outing for most organized! (Out of 120 employees!) 🤣 2025 will be ny 6th year in a Weeks. I use the notes section bullet journal style, but also track things like online orders, who won the NASCAR race each week, why nail color I had done at the salon, movies watched, PTO days, and a few other things. I'm definitely in a good rhythm with my Weeks! Have a great week Maike!

Thanks so much for watching Kathy and for your kind and fun comment! I love that someone had "potato" and "moist" as their words of the year! Hey, whatever brings joy and meaning to your life, I'm hear for it! And I think it's great that you're going with coffee and that it is already giving you creative ideas for your Hobonichi Weeks!

So nice to hang out with you and watch! I’m new to planning - I know, scandalous - and I already feel it helps me getting more structured and organized. I don’t NEED a planner, but now I’m starting to incorporate it into my life and it makes more and more sense and I find more and more uses! Since I wasn’t sure about the whole thing I didn’t wanna spend the big bucks, but found a very affordable one on Amazon ( planning to film a video on it), so far great for me, but if the whole year goes well I’ll have to switch to Hobonichi for 2026. I use fountain pens and they even work in my cheap planner, it’s great paper, no bleed. Your cat stickers are absolutely adorable!
@MaikeOatleyАй бұрын
I'm so glad to hear you liked hanging out together! It sounds like you're taking a very sustainable approach to planning, which is helpful I think, since you weren't sure you needed one in the first place. It's easy to get too complicated to quickly and become turned off by planning completely. And good for you to have found a cheap option that even takes fountain pens! That's neat!

I love your cat stickers. You’re so talented. I tend to be messy with a focus to be more organized, lol. I have Christmas shopping almost done. I have a small family. Just my boys, mom, dad, brother, sister in law and nephews family. I am using a weeks and a6 for planning, I have a separate b6 journal. My b6 is my synchronicity journal. I write about my spiritual journey there.

Thank you so much Stacey for your kind words, really appreciate it! Oh a synchronicity journal, that sounds intriguing! If you feel comfortable sharing, I'd love to hear more about that.

I just ordered my first hobonichi weeks today. I use a hobonichi techo avec a6 for my cat collage club stickers and daily journal. I’m not 100 percent what I’ll use this for but I’m sure I’ll find a use. Your weeks setup is so cute. Can’t wait to see what else you do with it.
@MaikeOatleyАй бұрын
I don't know why or how Hobonichi did this, but the Weeks is such a fun book, and very versatile too in my opinion. I feel like i have recently seen more people use the Weeks as a hobbies journal, or reading journal.
