Hobonichi A6 Setup in a Chic Sparrow Pocket Plus Traveler’s Notebook

[@dsonyay]

That’s an awesome hack you did to fit the A6 techo into personal plus.

[@knc3]

First of all, you have the BEST maverick collection I have ever seen. I’m so envious and in love with it! It’s drool worthy.

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Thank you so much!! I do drool on them a lot😁

[@EmilyKariya]

Your folder hack is AMAAAAZIIIING. This totally changes things. I have always disliked the idea of putting my hobonichi on strings in a TN. Now it is an option again, woohoo! Thanks so much for thinking of it and sharing!

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

I’m so glad to hear that!! I hope it works well for you♥️♥️♥️

[@denisetaylor8683]

Those pen / planner holders are amazing

[@g_knee]

Hello! I know this is an old video/some of the shops listed are no longer active. Can you recommend anyone currently making the card inserts for tn? I love that you shared this info ~ it really cleared up some confusion I was having on Chic Sparrow sizes/what fits etc. Also TYVM for the folder tutorial

[@tattooedcat]

I totally caved to the sale! I knew I couldn’t hold out because I didn’t buy something last week and I really wanted to. I’m so glad that your contentment kept you from shopping. That is the ultimate dream isn’t it? Making one of your slip pockets again tonight and looking forward to moving in to a new notebook that isn’t plastic. 😹 Thank you for linking to the videos. I look forward to checking them out! I love your pocket sized fabric inserts and the fit couldn’t be better! The opportunity to carry planner and wallet in one is amazing. Great video and thank you for sharing! 🧡

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

It was such a great sale, I wish I would have waited to get this pocket plus😂. So glad those slip pockets are working for you! Enjoy your new goodies and thanks as always for your sweet comments♥️♥️

[@SterlingInk]

LOL, what a coincidence, I just uploaded a video on pocket plus vs A6, and mentioned your video on creating a jacket for the A6 notebook.

[@SterlingInk]

and Yay! PP size looks soooo cute and I am so glad that you like it too :)

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

OMG I just finished watching your newest video! How funny we’re on the same wavelength 😂. I’ll have to update the description here with your new video too. Your comparisons are so helpful!

[@efthygat6763]

I feel you so much, I bought yesterday my first Mr Darsy buttered rum and I am so excited! I really want also a Sojourner in stag leather but I am gonna wait for a few months because I really want to appreciate and use first my Mr Darcy tn! My experience have shown me than more than one tns in the same time don't get the attention that each one deserves😊 I am so happy when I am notified for your videos and this maverick and the pocket plus set up is so elegant!

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

You are exactly right! I was really wanting to enjoy this new TN without any distractions😂 The Sojourner Stag looks so gorgeous too! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments♥️♥️

[@Dreblueskies]

Bought my first Maverick today! 😁

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

YAY!! I can’t wait to see it!!

[@marshahostetler]

I just ordered a Mockingbird/Hummingbird pocket plus I am so excited!!!

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Yay!! I just can’t quit the pocket plus with A6 inserts. It’s such a satisfying fit!

[@CydPiper]

Oh Yesss, this is a sweet treat! Thank you Sarah! I've been sooo waiting for you to do your Pocket Plus presentation Love X. I did opt for the Creme Black Beauty Deluxe afterall. Figure it will be an early BD gift to myself and I'll worry how to pay the bill later LOL. I hope you change your mind and go for another one; you have us spoiled! LOL. Hoping you go back to discussing your self care journal too. I don't have the Hobonichi A6 and I'm not sure how I"m going to set it up but I enjoy your inspirational discussions, opinions, and ideas and I know having a Self Care insert would be good for me too. Luv and Hugz xoxo

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Thank you, Cynthia!! I think I’m waiting for the wallet insert she previewed on Instagram! I keep flip flopping on the anniversary notebook because B6 isn’t my size but if I use it one day, I’ll be glad to have a rare notebook!I’m definitely planning to do a dedicated video on my self care journal. I always appreciate your requests and insights! Enjoy your black beauty♥️♥️

[@CydPiper]

@@sarahmartinezjournals You are my Beautiful Muse girl. I'm older and I draw my strength, hope, and inspiration from your soft/well spoken, kind, and personable demeanor. When you present, you are not bragging or boasting which means a lot to folks like me that watch these video's but don't have expendable 1st or 2nd incomes and are might be experiencing tough times but you have a way to present your TN ideas and thoughts without making someone feel inferior and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being Real Sarah! Respectful Luv and Hugz from my heart xoxo

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Cynthia 😭😭😭. That’s the sweetest thing anyone has said to me!! It makes the work so much more worth it to know that there are people like you who are benefiting from it and choose to spend your precious time with me♥️♥️

[@CydPiper]

@@sarahmartinezjournals saw this on Amazon; wondering if you would be willing to check this out and give your thoughts? Its only $13.95! TIA xo www.amazon.com/dp/B06XC1HKVL/?coliid=ITR3ZMLWFEWNA&colid=2PR2637LNQLGO&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

I actually have it in passport and an A5 (but I cut it down to standard)! It's a great option! The leather seems to vary from batch to batch but it's really nice and a great affordable option. Most closely resembles the Midori leather to me.

[@CraftingVicky]

beautiful. I was drooling about having a maverick... but I resisted the sale so happy with that... it was hard however lol

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

I know how you feel! I feel like I could always use another Maverick so yay us!

[@szwarner]

I think your new Maverick with that beautiful shine is amazing. I wish my Maverick looked like that. I’m glad you are enjoying it.

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Thank you, Sheila!! Mavericks are always such a surprise♥️

[@MandaFandaa]

Sarah, do you still recommend putting an a6 Hobonichi in a pocket plus?

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Sorry so late! If I used A6, I would always choose to put it in a pocket plus if I could.

[@pameehanson1764]

Interesting as I ordered my first Maverick in the weeks cover and it looks exactly as your Pocket Plus, I had the same reaction but as you use it love takes over 🤗

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

We’re totally experiencing the same thing, Pamala!😂

[@rc17268]

Hello!!! Just found your channel and am SMITTEN with that glossy Maverick! Do you know how common/rara that surface is for a Maverick? I think I'd only love that cover if it was glassy smooth like yours... Also, in your opinion, is the deluxe too bulky to work with a Hobonichi? It's the only option available on the CS site atm. :(

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

I’m glad you’re here!! I have been buying Mavericks for a year and I’ve never gotten one that was glassy like this. It seems to be the stock of hides they got in, so I would order as soon as you can. The deluxe PP would still work, IMO, you just may not be able to fit as many additional inserts as I have (but I have a lot in there 😂).

[@rc17268]

Sarah Martinez I ordered one today; hoping it’s icy smooth like yours!

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Fingers crossed!! Please let me know when you get it! If you have Instagram, tag me @sarahsjournals. I would love to see!

[@marciabarber2552]

My Stalogy fits well in my Websters Pages pocket size.

[@adbwell]

Hi! Just discovered your KZbin channel, and love it! I was hoping to order one of the inserts from Pakita’s, but her shop is no longer on Etsy. Do you know where I might find a similar insert with a pen holder?

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Oh no! I’m not sure of anyone else that offers similar inserts with a pen loop, I’m sorry!

[@elliescorner2019]

Hi! Great video, I love the set up and I consider you my go-to source for Mavericks 😀 After seeing all of yours I bought my first Chic Sparrow - a Maverick Deluxe in B6 slim and I love it! I’m thinking of purchasing a Maverick in pocket size, and am debating between classic and deluxe. I know you have both classic and deluxe Mavericks and was hoping you would give me your opinion on which you prefer. Thanks!

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Aw, thank you! I have a deluxe pocket and it’s pretty stiff and thick, which I don’t mind. If you like to stuff your TNs, a deluxe may not suit you in pocket size. That said, deluxe maverick models will either be discontinued or get a huge price increase so the time is now to buy deluxe!!

[@elliescorner2019]

Sarah Martinez thank you!! Hmmm you may be right, now is a good time to buy a deluxe! And for future purchases (😂) is the classic noticeably more flexible or pliable than the deluxe?

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

In general, the classics are way more pliable than deluxe. So I enjoy having the smaller sizes in classic. The bigger sizes handle the stiffness better.

[@elliescorner2019]

Thank you so much for answering my questions!! I appreciate it and love your channel.

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

No problem♥️♥️ So glad I could help!

[@Karelife]

Wow did I run to CS as fast as I could to get a pocket black beauty. Thank you for the heads up. I love my Mr Darcy in rum, I've had George for years.

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

I’m glad you got to take advantage of the sale, Karen!♥️

[@merylcooper]

fabulous video! So helpful. Thank you. Who makes your tabs?

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Thank you!! They are post-it tabs. They’re the really small ones, like a half inch wide.

[@angiepayne6104]

I didn't know about the sale until you just mentioned it. Do you know how long it will be going? Meaning, more than just today? I don't have money until the 15th. UGH. What a shame to miss out when I have things on my list.

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

The sale runs until 8am PST tomorrow😬. But it seems like A LOT of items went out of stock earlier in the day. And she might have some more specials and discounts throughout the month so keep an eye out!

[@staciabrown6383]

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

I’m glad to hear it! Thanks for watching♥️♥️

[@lisabochat7974]

I wanted a a5 maverick but I couldn’t get it everything was sold out I was online at the moment the sale started so I looked at other leathers and I had one a5 in my basket but it sold before I could check out I was so disappointed all a5 we’re gone but I really wanted a maverick your collection is stunning so I thought well I e wanted to try a b6 and I was able to get it in the maverick yea but man that sale was brutal it was like a store Black Friday where everyone goes crazy 😂

[@sarahmartinezjournals]

Oh no! I think the sale started with lots of things already sold out as well (like the e class) and with things going out of stock in seconds after the sale started, it was slim pickin’s! I looked at a wide Maverick but it was sold out already too. I’m glad you got a B6 though! I just got some leather samples in the end. And now we all have to wait impatiently for shipping😂
