How Many is Too Many?: My Notebook Collection

[@quicksilver_jenna]

I haven't counted recently, but I have four dresser drawers full of unused notebooks. But I go through them at the rate of about one every two months, on average, so I have no regrets - and I will still buy more if I find one I absolutely love.

[@emiliplans3817]

Four dresser drawers!!! Whoa - I’d love to see your collection! And kudos for filling them up so fast! That’s what I aspire to do but right now, one every three months is my goal!

[@just__celia]

Why do I love seeing notebook collections so much?! Thank you for sharing! I have soooo many notebooks. Haven’t counted in a while.

[@emiliplans3817]

Gurl - same!!! There’s another KZbinr I watch that does a monthly Notebook Challenge. HeartBreathings - her videos are so satisfying!!!!

[@just__celia]

@@emiliplans3817 I love her monthly notebook videos too!

[@BlueEyedBabe03]

I am *obsessed* with how you put washi on the interior covers of your notebooks. That is gorgeous, and I could stare at it for minutes on end! What an awesome collection you have!

[@emiliplans3817]

Thank you💜

[@DrucieG2]

I absolutely love this style of showing off your journal collection. I love that you flip through your journals briefly because seeing the decorations and writing together is so inspiring. It’s beautiful and gives me the push to keep going. I might also adopt the idea of switching to one journal at a time so that I can actually finish them a little sooner. Thank you for sharing this video!!!! I’m obsessed!

[@emiliplans3817]

Thank you so much! This was such a fun video to make and thankfully, since filming I haven’t purchased any new journals🤣 But I am almost finished with my first one of 2023 so I’ll have to post an update!

[@katgirl1921]

I have a lot of notebooks that i have used up and a lot that i have not used up but i have been journaling since 1996 and i still have all my journals. i put a lot of things in my journal. i like to put pictures of family and things i watched or things going on in the world i put newspaper articles, i put packaging in my journal, i put food packaging and wrappers or things i have ate , i put menus and business cards, just anything that i can put in my journal. i put a lot of washi and stickers as well and greeting cards from family. i love my journaling style and making it fun and using flash cards and things i find at dollar stores that i can use to put in my journal

[@emiliplans3817]

I love that your journals have things like that! It adds to the memories as your re-read your writings and remember what you were feeling at the time!

[@ashleystivenson490]

Totally stealing the month changing scrap paper thing !!!! Loveeeeeee

[@emiliplans3817]

Yes! And I love to do it based on the month and theme! I let add so much to my journal!

[@magizzles]

That’s such a good use of the simply gilded washi’s! I run out of ideas on how to use washi tape so that really stood out to me.

[@emiliplans3817]

Yes! I have too much of it so at this point - all my journals get an inside cover makeover🤣

[@anime_chann973]

You go girl !!! I'm so in love with your notebooks, scrapbooking and your whole aesthetic

[@emiliplans3817]

Yay! Thank you! I have some journals I legit cannot read - I think what helped is that I do my journaling before bed. That way, I’m relaxed and ready to reflect on my day. It also helped me sleep at night when I’m not thinking about all the things because I got them all out on paper😊

[@annathompson3034]

What a beautiful collection! I have a pretty big collection of used and unused journals (more unused than used 😅). I loved seeing those short flip throughs and seeing how you like to decorate your journals as well.

[@kelliviterna7891]

Your notebooks and handwriting are beautiful ❤! Thanks for sharing. Giving me inspiration

[@uniquelybeautifuljourney7261]

I can relate I love notebooks started with the spiral bound 5star when I was in HS then hard cover notebooks like exceed lol to blanks and now I do have a few book shelves full of moleskine soft cover large to pocket classic notebook and planner I just love notebooks I love journaling scripting writing in general so keep on collecting because the cost of everything is going up you definitely save money on all of your notebooks I know I have saved 😊

[@emiliplans3817]

Yes! It’s a nice collection and it’s crazy how expensive a good notebook is there days! The Exceed notebooks are my faves because they are good quality and inexpensive!

[@JessicaGerald81]

Oh goodness, I love your notebooks! And thank you for sharing your faith!❤

[@annieg3087]

I just found you and I am absolutely loving your positivity. Enjoyed your video!

[@emiliplans3817]

Yay! Thank you!

[@journaltree1261]

I really enjoyed this video and your journaling style is so fun and meaningful ❤thanks for sharing!!

[@emiliplans3817]

Aww 🥰 Thanks for watching!!!

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

This was fun to watch!❤

[@trillianhosticka2150]

Nice to see another fan of the Exceed notebooks! Those are definitely my favorites - the price point, availability, and paper quality can't be beat. I'm also a huge fan of the dot grid artist loft notebooks from Michaels when I'm in the mood for white paper instead of cream. Also - I love your washi tape endpapers!

[@emiliplans3817]

Right! Those Exceed Notebooks are so underrated!!

[@AyuJogaComigo]

Love your style and your handwriting

[@purposebehindthepen]

I use all of my notebooks to create the novels I have written. Thankful to have cross upon a fellow journal collector.

[@lighthousesanddaisies2711]

Love your journaling techniques. I need to up my game. TFS.

[@emiliplans3817]

Please do! And let me know how your journal! Why I love most about journaling is there is no right or wrong way to do it. Just get a pen, a notebook and go!

[@np5342]

Seeing from your notebooks. You love journaling and have good planning 😊

[@emiliplans3817]

Yes! Thank you!

[@LisePlansandJournals]

Loved the flip! New subbie, you’re such a fun personality. I was literally typing up ‘what do you use to print your photos?’ when you pulled out the hp sprocket. It’s time I invest in one for my journaling. Too many moments to document.

[@emiliplans3817]

Thank you for subscribing!!! The HP Sprocket has been a MAJOR game changer for me and I love using it for my monthly wrap-up/memories pages!

[@user-mk1mt2in3t]

Beautiful pages ❤

[@just__celia]

I love the Simply Gilded washi inside your covers!

[@emiliplans3817]

Thank you! It’s a nice added touch ❤️

[@samanthae4931]

Your KZbin channel kept popping up in my feed because I love journaling videos or anything that has to do with journaling even the journal notebooks. I am the same way I love getting journals, so I have a lot of blank ones I need to use. I like the journals that are the ring type because I think they work better for me since I'm left-handed. I am also a Harry Potter fan and I have the same journal as you but mine is the Hufflepuff one since I am a Hufflepuff, but the journals are so beautiful that I will probably get all of them also one day.

[@emiliplans3817]

Yes!!! Team Hufflepuff!!! And thank you for stopping by and watching my video! I’ll have more to come and I get thru these journals and probably buy new ones❤️

[@LifetimeDiarist-uj3dp]

Love the gilded Washi on the front and back pages! Great idea!! ❤❤

[@emiliplans3817]

Thanks you💜

[@LifetimeDiarist-uj3dp]

@emiliplans3817 I tried it in my journal and omg it's harder to do than it looks, but I got it done 😃

[@TommieG63]

I thought I was the only one with a notebook addiction. I like you buy them every time I see a good one. I love the EXCEED books!! I have so many different ones. Moleskine, Hobonichi, EXCEED....LOL I think I need an intervention. If I were married I think my wife would divorce me lol lol lol. What can I say, I like to write!!! In total I have 73 notebooks. LOL

[@ivaesty9186]

Midori MD notebooks are my favorite. Love the cream colored paper, the feel, and how my pens work on them ❤ Question for you - Do you journal every day? Does journal ever feel like a task or burdensome? How do you just keep going? I ask as a person who serially starts journals but I always fall off.

[@emiliplans3817]

My goal is to journal every day and I’d say I hit that goal four out of seven days a week! I notice my mood shift and I feel anxious and overwhelmed when I don’t journal so it does help me process things and keep my thoughts straight❤️

[@anicame2]

I love the Erin Condren hard cover notebooks too :) they r very nice!

[@emiliplans3817]

They are! The black is the last one I have so I’m trying to save it for something special!

[@iHanna]

NO such thing as too many notebooks, especially if you're using them and loving them! 😜💕🎉🎨🌈🧡💛💚📗

[@maeofflowers4187]

Very beautiful handwriting❤ I wish, my hand writing is very messy lol

[@ashleystivenson490]

Love how u journal

[@emiliplans3817]

Thank you! I’m starting to get into journaling challenges and such so maybe it’s time to post an update!

[@Three721]

Love that sticker❤

[@emiliplans3817]

Thanks! It’s the best!

[@srivirao]

ooooo lovely

[@OnlineTherapistGroup]

What did you say you are using to print those mini photos? Also, are they on sticker paper when you print them? Love it!

[@emiliplans3817]

I’m using an HP Sprocket! It takes 2x3 paper that I get on Amazon. 100 photo sheets is $45-$50 and it lasts me six to eight months.

[@yureliplans]

Hey hey. Fellow Ravenclaw here! 🙋🏽‍♀️💜💜

[@emiliplans3817]

All day everyday! This is a Ravenclaw STAN account💙💙💙

[@anastasia1522]

Cool notebooks. I have a similar collection. What size are the minis?

[@emiliplans3817]

The minis are 4 1/2 by 6 3/4 - my apologies for he late response! Life has been crazy - thanks for watching my video 💜

[@JulieVengeance]

What is the pen you use in most of your books? Watching this I can’t get over it, it looks like a black sharpie but there’s no bleed through? Beautiful collection. Whatever you use, I NEED TO KNOW

[@emiliplans3817]

So…I’m a heaux for a good felt-tip pen/marker! I’m using a set from Hobby Lobby now, but my go-to is a Sharpie Pen or a LePen marker😊

[@prettyinpink2102]

[@eliettydevesa]

Hey im not trying to be rude but i dont think its a good idea to share such personal details on the internet. If you arent feeling well i recommend giving your life to God and i promise he will be the light to the darkness. God bless your day love remember he wants you to find him and the peace he has to give

[@traceythibault4946]
