That was so wonderful to see! What a big family, that must feel so nice!! And I love how you all make such an effort with all your parties and games and even do proper invites!!! So fun! And of course your journal is BEAUTIFUL and I'm so glad you could share it with us, so many good ideas in there, thank you xxx

[@ohaijoy]

Hi Emily, thank you so much for watching 😃 LOL my family takes parties very seriously. I am missing it a lot this year, but we still managed to take virtual family parties to another level 🥴 Hope you and your family have a happy and healthy new year!

[@amywjn]

Love the idea of taking a picture of all the Christmas cards you received! So smart.

[@ohaijoy]

Thank you so much 🥰 Glad you got some ideas.

[@palestblue]

Waaaaah, I'm so glad you're baaaaaaaack ❤️❤️❤️ I have been so swamped at work and feeling really terrible this past year and I kind of stopped journaling and creating for months. But your video made me really miss journaling and creating and I think I'm gonna try and start a journal again ❤️🌟. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season, Joy ❤️ thank you for always being such an inspiration!

[@ohaijoy]

Hiiii Maria!! ❤️ 2020 has been a rough one for us all. But you techinically did "create" this year! (Coming soon July 2021) 😉🥰🤣 and I'm sure you'll want to journal about that. I miss your videos so much and I hope you and your family are having a lovely holiday. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@palestblue]

@@ohaijoy bahahahahhaa 🤣 I missed you so much, Joy. Let's hope that 2021 will be a happier and lighter one for everyone, 2020 sucked so bad, ugh, I have never wanted New Year's to come so bad. 😘😘😘

[@KimLechelle]

It is so nice having you back on KZbin! I have missed your videos; your handwriting, voice, your document style (so many good ideas) and etc! Enjoyed every minutes! Thanks Joy!

[@ohaijoy]

So happy to be back 🥰 I get so many ideas from all of you too! Thank you so much for watching!

[@englishmuffinisabel1352]

How nice is to hear your peaceful voice again!!! I like your handwritting a lot. Waiting forward to 2020 december daily!! 😉

[@ohaijoy]

🥰 Thank you so much! December Daily 2020 coming soon to a youtube near you 🤣

[@LeilaniScraps]

YAY! Joy is back!! I love your videos and this was a delight!

[@ohaijoy]

So happy to be back 🥰 Thank you for watching!

[@nesdingo]

I love your videos so much. You can't not smile while watching you flip through and listen to you reminiscence about 2019. It's just all so super sweet. I also love how much you are able to incorporate from your day to day. I need to start peeling labels off of food more often and tossing them in my hobo cause it looks so cute in your TN. I'm also going to start doing your full photo idea to fill a page. Next year I'm using two Hobonichi notebooks so I'll have a bunch of extra pages that will need to be filled up! I was wondering how I'd do it and you gave me the perfecto idea. Ohhhh yea and I'm also stealing your tradition of hiding chocolate bears! It's soooo cute and I like that so much better than Elf on a Shelf. Mainly because you can't eat the Elf when you find it. xD WOW, ya so many good ideas. Such a great video! Thank you for sharing, Joy!!! ::HUGS::

[@ohaijoy]

Ooooh yayy! I'm so happy I gave you ideas Nes! I hope you start sharing your journal spreads again ☺️ And yes to Where Da Bear! I'm sure you can use other kinds of candies, but the bears are just too cute! 😅 Thank you so much for watching! Lots of hugs to you ❤️🥰

[@ChaChaKathy]

What a great December Dail! I was a little teary eyed when you got to the group photo of the cousins! I'm happy you all have that wonderful memory and photo to cherish! Happy New Year!

[@ohaijoy]

Thank you so much for watching, yes the cousin picture really got to me too 🥺 ❤️ I hope you have a happy and healthy New Year!

[@bobettemccann8497]

We love you, we've missed you and we're so glad you're back! I swear I'd be a much more consistent journaler if you posted once a month :)

[@ohaijoy]

🤣🤣🤣 I'm so happy to be back and If it helps, my youtube goal this year is to try to at least post once a month. We'll see if I can do it, but I am motivated 😃

[@savrdadolls]

Yay! I missed your journals! Beauty! :-) Happy Saturday! :-)

[@ohaijoy]

🥰❤️ Thank you so much for watching!! Have a lovely weekend!

[@evawojna8105]

I missed your videos so much ! I am glad that you are back and feeling better. You have a wonderful close knit family and your holiday celebrations look amazing. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@ohaijoy]

Thank you so much for watching and I am so happy to be back 🥰 Sadly because of the pandemic, we probably will not be partaking in our large celebrations 😭 Hopefully we will be able go back to our regular celebrations in 2021! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ❤️

[@stampinwithalohajoyceb9310]

Wow - great December Daily. I am so bad about journaling. Maybe next year! TFS and glad you’re back!

[@ohaijoy]

Thank you for watching 🥰❤️ If it helps, it's hard for me to journal everyday so I do it in chunks 😅

[@dickieangenson2236]

What a great look into the end of a year! That is the thing about journaling - this record we have of ourselves before events and life force us to change. It’s pretty poignant. The picture of all your cousins is so great. It must mean so much to all of you.

[@ohaijoy]

Yes, couldn't have said it better myself (about journaling) 😅 I really want to blow up the cousin pictures and hang it somewhere! Thank you for watching! And I hope you have a happy and safe holiday.

[@TheSarahLindy]

“Show Mommy how the piggies eat!!” Oh how I love A Christmas Story 🐽 We are super late getting our tree decorated this year (it’s been sporting only lights for three weeks😅), so the first thing I did this morning was make my coffee and turn on A Christmas Story so I could get the ornaments on ♥️ I did think of you when I was stamping my Christmas Cards last weekend! Your channel is a big part of the reason I started collecting stamping paraphernalia. I hope you’re doing well ♥️

[@ohaijoy]

I also put a movie on while decorating 🥰, except my decorating movie is Nightmare Before Christmas because I decorate after Halloween 🤣 Yes, I'm one of those early decorators. Awe that's so awesome! Stamping paraphernalia is the best. Hope you have a lovely holiday and enjoy your tree as much as you can! It's almost time to take it down again 😄

[@nisharasikaran9131]

Love this Joy! You’ve inspired me to start journaling again ... Nish x

[@ohaijoy]

YAYYYY NISH!!! That's great news 😃👏👏 I'm so excited to see what you share.

[@ohaijoy]

Wow Scotland! It's on my list of places to visit 😃 I hope you have a lovely holiday despite all the ickiness of the pandemic. Sending love! ❤️

OMG Porto’s potato balls... miss those. So happy to see you back!

[@ohaijoy]

Yessss! I miss them too. I miss the sandwich they made with it too. I don't know if they do that anymore 🥺 So happy to be back! Have a lovely weekend! ❤️

[@LisaAlex777]

@@ohaijoy wow -didn’t know there was a sandwich. They added another location closer to us, but with Covid and all, who knows. Happy Holidays!!!

I missed your videos and journals so much! I truly loved seeing this, Joy. I hope you're feeling a bit better.. Sending love. 💕

[@ohaijoy]

Thank you so much for watching 🥰❤️ And yes I'm feeling better. I think it gets easier with time.

[@bluovalgal]

Have you ever NOT found the chocolate Christmas bear? LOL Reminds me of Bob's Burgers when Bob and Linda drunkenly hid Easter eggs from the kids... and the kids found all but one. LOL

[@ohaijoy]

🤣 It's funny that you asked, because I could not for the life of me find it the other day. And it was staring at me in the face. It took forever. We do have some rules like it has to be in plain sight (it can't be in drawers for example) and only in the kitchen, living room, and my office (also known as the dining room). Otherwise, I think I'd fail 🤣 I remember that episode! I love Bob's Burgers! I feel like I am a mix of Tina and Linda 😅

[@MsSclera]

Miss your video, so glad you come back

[@ARTnDaCityCreations]

Seriously love your DD. Cass was right the tracing paper is so cool! I need to know how do you size the full page pics in your journal! I'm so happy you're back! ~Kay💜

[@ohaijoy]

Thank you so much Kay 🥰 When I print the full size pictures, I make sure the height is about 7.5 - 8 inches, print it out, line it up on the page and I just trim away the rest. Not sure what kind of journal you're using, but I'd measure the height and make sure your picture is at least the height so it covers the full page. Hope this helps 😅 Have a lovely holiday!

You always make me wants to do this project!! 😂 Love seeing your vids pop up in my subs 🥰

[@ohaijoy]

🥰 Thanks so much Amber! It's a hard commitment especially during the busiest time of the year but I love looking at it so much! 😃🎄❤️

[@ohlovelyqs]

Porto’s!!! Have you order from mail? We got some last Christmas. They are my sister’s favorites. She moved from LA so the mail option is perfect.

[@ohaijoy]

My auntie ordered from them! 😃 She's a fiend for the cheese rolls they have. When I lived in LA, she used to ask me to bring her home a box 🤣 Thank God they ship now.

[@clare78]

I think this is a bit of a dumb question but how do you get the tracing paper into the midori insert? Also how do you tip in a big card like that? With just scotch tape / or washi? Thank you for your help. I loved this video!!! You are so creative and have such great ideas.

[@ohaijoy]

Definitely not a dumb question! I made the insert myself. I took apart 2 pre-made midori inserts (kraft and plain insert) and alternated kraft, plain, and tracing paper cut to size and then stapled it. TADA! For the big tip in, I just used washi. I washi on both sides so it's secure. Make sure to use the really good and sticky washi. But you could definitely use scotch tape too if you want. Thank you so much for watching 😃 Feel free to ask me anything else.

[@littlegypsyrebel4495]

hey what do you print your pictures with? I totally just binged a ton of your vids! Love em' we would have been neighbors, I'm just moved back to the mainland but lived in Kapolei!

[@ohaijoy]

Hi! I just print them on regular sticker paper on a regular printer 😃 Probably not best for longevity 🥴 but it's ok for me. Oooh nice Kapolei! I was on the other side of the mountain from you - North shore side. Thank you so much for watching!

[@meghan9436]

So glad to see you back! I know this is going to be the most random question in the world, but I have to ask. Are you and your family familiar with a band called The Moffatts?

[@ohaijoy]

Glad to be back! And to answer your question, yes I think we used to watch the Moffatts when they were younger. I remembered their name so I had to look it up if I was correct lol. 😅

[@meghan9436]

@@ohaijoy Omg! They reunited back in 2018. Clint and Bob still work together. Their separate band has gone through numerous name changes over the years, but now they play under Music Travel Love. They shoot beautiful music videos around the world. They have also rerecorded several Moffatts classics :)

[@cassrawk]

Did you make the book for this yourself? LOL that part of Parks and Rec was one of the most memorable moments for me from the show!!! Some of those "I'm gonna tell my kids..." were classic but that one was hands down the best for sure!!! Your handwriting is a whole vibe!!! I call charcuterie boards sharks coochie boards...

[@ohaijoy]

Yes! I took apart 2 premade inserts (kraft and plain) and cut up some tracing paper and just alternated the pages. Then stapled it with a big ass stapler 🤣 TADA! Omg anything with the Tammys are my favorite. LOL @ sharks coochie boards 🤣 That could be a sticker!
