Came for the hobonichi set up. Staying for the book smeller community.

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Welcome 💕🙏 📖

[@fishheads08]

Dude, I have always been a book sniffer! I used to love to go into our used bookstore just to smell the older books. 😅 Cute set-up, Erin. I am with you on Helen's stickers. I print my own from Etsy shops but TCMC stickers just make me happy 🙂

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

lol 😂 glad I’m not alone! 💕 Thank you 💕🙏

[@amycampbell2264]

Omg old books are the best for their smell!

[@Budinky]

Same, both me and my mum! Magazines as well...and the new book smell is just 🥰

[@annettefertitta6868]

Me too!

[@sheilasminicreations]

I love this setup. And I love smelling new books, magazines. When I was in Grammer school. Before they had printers. Way back in the 80s. I love when the teacher ran off new papers through the machine they used. I loved the smell of the toner they used them. It was awesome 😂

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you! And I’m so glad it’s not just me. Lol 😂 I remember that smell 😊

[@shawnaisntshestrange5830]

There is nothing better then the smell of new books. Even a new shiny catalog. Love it. And have always gotten weird looks for it. 😂 proud book sniffer here.

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Yes! 🙌🏻 💕😂

[@allisonwinters6442]

I love the smell of books, especially new ones! I also really enjoy watching others set up their planners. So creative.

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

🙌🏻 Thank you 💕💕

[@LinzyMakesPlans]

I feel the same about the stickers with CoffeeMonsterzco & Okyplans. Really enjoy your videos Erin. I'm a newer subscriber. Helen recommended you actually, well in a video.. and I get great inspiration esp layout ideas from your videos, ty for that! 🫶🏼Happy Planning!

[@kelliehanbury2067]

I also have two daughters and they both always and somehow sniff out my favourite and best craft/journal items and it has made it hard for me to hide/stash things and so I have learned that if I go and buy my things while they are at school then I’m able to stash/hide when I get home before my daughter (my oldest daughter lives with her father interstate) gets home and if I order anything online I hope it gets delivered before my daughter gets home but if my online order arrives while my daughter get home I allow her to open and I always buy something like washi tape for her to in my order so she doesn’t feel left out from the online order (my daughter loves washi tape more than stickers)

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Aww I love that. I buy and share with Spencer too. She’s excited to do some diamond painting this weekend. 💕

[@amycampbell2264]

So many ideas from this thank you so much for doing this!

[@Szucsjackie]

You are like a copy of me. All over the place but very organized and excited.

[@DragonWarriorMama]

I just got my first hobonichi a5 and found your channel ! Thanks so much

[@longtimetnbcfan]

I have two hobbies, Planning/Journaling and Collecting Nightmare Before Christmas stuff

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Love it!

[@Journalesq]

Just found your channel and I love this video. You were speaking right to me. I have always love planning but the last year I have dove head first into memory planning and creative planning/journaling. It’s been great to have a hobby again after so much time!

[@chrissyhilton6957]

YEEESSS!!! The smell of books has such a calming effect on me. 📚

[@ivettemartinez6684]

Love your videos. I have the weekly and I just ordered my hobinichi cousin. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thanks so much! How exciting! 💕💕

[@Teachmond]

Hi, I’m so glad I found your channel. I have always tried to journal since I was a teenager . I don’t remember how I obtained my first “diary “ but it had precious moments on the cover. I would for years write in it now and then. We didn’t and don’t have stationary stores near me as a kid or now. II’m 60 now. I still consider myself new because I’m not faithful and of course feel guilty. Anyway I tried the HP for a while and it just didn’t click. Well this year I heard about the Hobo and was working it and I’m hoping it sticks. I found some helpful tips and plan on trying them out. I love Helen’s coffeemonsterz cove as well. I would love to meet her one day . Thank you for your video and listening to me ramble.

[@melissawade5873]

Got my Hobonichi this past week. I can’t believe I find myself having so much backplannjng in it already while I watch your videos. ❤️

[@amycampbell2264]

Ahhh this was fun! Love these long vid and love set ups!

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you Amy 💕

[@loveforpaper6203]

Aw love your set up! I just placed an order to TCMC the other day and I’m so excited to get it! I LOVE the newspaper vellum too! Enjoy your planner ! It’s always nice to have something for you that makes you happy. I think that’s something only people that journal or do creative planning etc understand! It’s like self care and brings happiness 😊Have a wonderful day

[@KayeReshaw]

Nice job. I really love your videos. My word for 2024 is “appreciation”. It inspires me to look for the positive, reflect on it and show appreciation. It is a word I feel that is neglected. Have a beautiful day.

[@fbombplantmom]

Sometimes I feel like I have created mini stationary monsters with my kiddos! They love riffling through my stash! 😀

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

😂😂😂 yes!!!!

[@Libertyschoolhouseplans]

Wrapping gifts while watching! Love the set up!

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you 🙏 happy wrapping 💕🎄

[@mrspricecreates]

There is a lice prevention shampoo we use. It’s called “fairytales” and it’s in a red and white bottle.

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Yes we used that for years. Didn’t help the last time. 😞

[@jneewright96]

Such a cute setup! Makes me excited to set up my cousin in this upcoming week :)

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you! I’m excited for you 💕💕😊😊 planner set up is so fun!

[@anna_teresa]

I am 10000000 % a book sniffer :D :D I just loved what you all said

[@niquegrigsby6901]

Thus was a great video. I love how your planner turn3d out. I look forward to trying to recover my finances this year after getting married and moving

[@brookewilt654]

I love your set up! Love your videos to

[@brittanymiller3396]

On the inside page where you put the little pocket is so cute. If it bothers you that it's a lil crooked just use a piece of washi tape to go all the way day on the side it will cover it up.

[@amycampbell2264]

I’m a huge book sniffer…there are book smelling candles lol

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

😍😍

[@lindaturley3762]

Erin, i love your chatting n planning n knowledge n creativity regularly -allll the way from Australia, you are my little hobinichi guardian angel. After using hobi wks this year and loving it, my hubby is gifting me my first Hcuz for Xmas🧑‍🎄 so i understand your excitement to set up. x

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you so much!

[@MamaGraciePlans]

I’m a book smeller and so is my husband. We feel alone in the fact that we both smell books, magazines, bibles, leathers, old books too. I’m glad to know we’re not alone. We found out early on after he seen me pick up the Bible he gifted me as I smelled the pages. 😂

[@loveforpaper6203]

Also, sorry to hear you and your hubby had Covid! Happy you are feeling better! It’s ok no worries the presents will get finished when they do it’s ok😊

[@anitaowens1758]

Love this video! I'm also with you in smelling books! Xx

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you 🙏 💕💕💕

[@christinavaughan1980]

I also love the smell of books. It doesn’t matter if they are new or old.

[@ladybooklover]

Thank you for the huge set up video! 2024 will be my first Hobo Cousin year. I love TCMC so much and I’ll definitely use a lot of Helen’s stickers. I take this opportunity to wish you and your family Happy Holidays from Italy!!!🎄🎄🎄

The cover is amazing

[@crystalchapman3207]

Love your videos. I'm using a commit30planner but I've been thinking about trying the hobonichi

[@angelabutful1]

Looks great, Erin! Don't forget to get a cover on cover for your Hobonichi cover!

[@LibraryLed]

I feel your pain: I love my handwriting, but I absolutely hate the way I write my name! 😁 Your book came out so cute. ☕

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Glad it isn’t just me! Thank you 🙏 💕

[@deniellekirkman3675]

I always randomly comment at points in the video but they have a repellent spray or just mix tea tree oil with water and spray her hair before she goes to school we had to deal with that before too and I finally found things that just stopped it

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

I will try that thank you

[@aubreygarrison5388]

I was thinking the same. We have a spray called Fairy Rales Rosemary repel. You can get it at Target or Amazon. We dealt with a very similar situation right before Thanksgiving and I was super anxious. Still kind of am, even though everything has calmed down.. 😂. The spray helped though. The company has a preventative shampoo as well.

[@annettefertitta6868]

Yes, creepy crawlies tend to trade off when middle and high school kids pile their jackets and hats together in the gym, cafeteria, etc. you might add a few drops of Tea Tree oil into the wash (natural deterrent - and either put a few drops of Tea Tree Oil in her/ their shampoo or get some Paul Mitchell Tea Tree oil Shampoo for them to use at least once per week… sorry I just recently found your channel, you probably needed those ideas 2 months ago!

[@user-mh5du1ph5h]

it's so nice.

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you 🙏 💕

[@adelerobbetze]

thank you for sharing!

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

You’re so welcome! 💕😊

[@annettefertitta6868]

You should use whichever stickers make you feel good, what is it you called it the other day? Comfort crafts!

[@mrspricecreates]

I read on a kindle and audiobook but my husband is totally a book sniffer

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

I love my kindle and audiobooks. I do love the smell of books just not the clutter lol 😂 💕

[@annineverlandnimue6027]

Oh yes I always smell books and paper and many stuff, my nose is very sensitive 😊

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Same 😊

[@rutemarper]

Hi Erin, try not to roll your tape roller on top of tape you already have down, it will pull the roll and "ruin it" (it is fixable and you did it 😀) Loved the video!

[@shaunashomctear2897]

Awesome ❤🎉

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you 🙏 💕

[@Chaos_and_Creativity]

We need to start an anonymous book sniffer club because i would join. Its the first thing i do when i pick up a book!!😂

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Omg yes!! 🙌🏻 😂💕

[@darkmoore05]

My daughter totally smells paper and books ... I like to TOUCH the different papers, but only smell them sometimes. My daughter even selects her drawing suppies and sketchbooks by smelling them. So Yeah, not weird to me at all ....

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

No not weird at all! 😂😂 We’re the cool ones 💕🙌🏻

[@aliciamoore3940]

It's so nice to see you find planner peace and thrive in it! I've been a subscriber since your HP days and I don't mind at all! You're the true definition of a Happy Planner. Your set up is inspiring....now do I try my hand again at a Hobonichi Cousin? Lol! I tried it in 2022 and didn't complete it, but I've truly been itching for change in 2024 🤔.

[@snikrdoodls14]

Have you thought about something slightly different like the fleurir labs planner? It doesn't have the weeks pages like the a5 cousin does, but I've heard great things about it. I'm eyeing the Take a note a6 planner for 2025 for the weekly layout, as I already bought the Jibun Techo days for 2024. We're certainly spoilt for choice! I would love to know what planners you've used in the past.

[@PlanningLifeWithErin]

Thank you so much that is so sweet! So I’m an enabler lol 😂 but if it speaks to heart then I’m a firm believer in going for it 💕😊

[@aliciamoore3940]

Not an enabler. I'm just easily influenced 😅.

[@aliciamoore3940]

​@snikrdoodls14 2023 I've only used HP planners and a Half letter planner/inserts. For 2024 I'll be using HP planners and a Passion Planner for school. I just found an Inamio Planner on Amazon that is similar to Hobonichi but it's $12. This way if I don't stick to it my budget won't feel it.

[@snikrdoodls14]

@@aliciamoore3940 Smart move starting with something you don't find too precious and worry being a waste of money if you don't use it. That's exactly what I did this year as my first time keeping a planner. Just got a cheap dot grid notebook and I'm now a planner addict! It's always difficult finding a balance between getting something you want to use, while also not getting something so nice that you don't want to use it! There's also so many indie brands that do wonderful products at a low price. Good luck on your 2024 planner journey!

I was going to say before watching this video for the second time that I would sign up so fast for your Patreon! Maybe do live videos or calls so we could all chat?

Does the normal A5 Moterm cover fit the Hon or do you need the A5+? I can't seem to find a clear cover in the Hon that is not sold out but also like the Moterm covers.

This is the one I got amzn.to/49iEY7h It does fit the Hon without the clear cover on it.
