[@LayleByMail]

Welcome & enjoy!! We’re creative listing this morning at 9 am pacific time here on my channel, pop in the chat & say hello!

[@LMarge64]

@@LayleByMail that's noon for me ! Perfect!!

[@jesshileman]

I am feeling so unbelievably inspired after watching this thank you!

[@LayleByMail]

YAY!!!

[@saraaquoma1413]

I just found you! I am going to get back to using a TN...I have tons of covers, books, washi, papers, etc. you have definitely got me excited about using one again!

[@LayleByMail]

Yay! Enjoy!

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

binging this play list. I used to think 'bullet journal' when I heard traveler's notebook. Love that you show it can be so much more! Creative Blessings!

[@Heathernk1028]

I have been scrapbooking for 20 years and have been pondering (procrastinating 🤣) for months to start a travelers notebook... 1- because 12x12 albums are taking over my house! And 2- there are stories/pictures that I want to document that don’t necessarily need a large layout but still important to me and this series is just what I need!! Thanks for the inspiration and fabulous ideas! It’s just what I needed as I have been struggling creatively for the past couple of months! So thank you!

[@TLee-s8r]

Love seeing your work & hearing the history of your creative process - much thanks! How did you do the metal comb binding on your book of lists?

[@LayleByMail]

Thank you! I used a tool called the Cinch - amzn.to/3RQh3FK

[@christina413]

Hi! I found your channel this morning at 2 AM. I had to fall asleep but as soon as I woke up I remembered what a great video I was watching and checked it out again. I love your style and had to subscribe :)

[@LayleByMail]

Hi Christina! So fun, glad you enjoyed it!! Welcome :)

[@jodysgirl20004]

I'm that person who came across your video 3 years later and yes we made it through 2020!! I have already made some of your scrapbook projects but I never tried a traveler's notebook. I just had surgery and I'm in bed for a while so I'm going to spend some time and learn from these videos!! I would like to order "The year in review 2024" when it comes out. Thanks so much for inspiring me to try something new!

[@LayleByMail]

Hello & welcome! Hoping for a speedy recovery for you ♥ Sounds like now's a great time to jump in with Traveler's Notebooks! When I'm not traveling, we're here on my KZbin channel on Saturday mornings at 9 am pacific doing what I call creative listing. You can find the tentative schedule through the rest of the year here on my blog - laylebymail.com/blogs/news/saturday-listing-schedule-3. There are 3 years worth of those listing videos, also here on my KZbin channel that you can access at any time - kzbin.info/aero/PLX5ml2RuCU4v8lTsFQVXMazHAbHEehRoi. Have fun!!

[@mrs_diamondpainter5331]

I just found this video. Omg I did not know I needed this in my life but I am now obsessed! I am going to binge watch this series! I thought I was the only one who loves lists! I was starting to think I was weird haha! And your so down to earth not everything in your journals is pretty which is so refreshing! Thank you for this video so much so glad I found your channel! Xxx

[@LayleByMail]

Hi there! So glad you found me, too :) And no, you're not alone!!!

You're welcome!! You stay safe as well :)

[@claireellis2117]

I am new to traveler’s notebooks. This was such an informative video. I came across you after Vicki Boutin mentioned you in a FNL. Needless to say, I have now ordered by first sets and have bought your This is Me class so I can learn how to fill a book or two ❤ 1:20:29

[@sherryann55]

Thanks Layle for adding some joy to my day as we all deal with the current situation in the world. Can't wait to begin the journey.

[@LayleByMail]

You're so welcome, Sherry! So happy to be adding a little joy to peoples' days :)

[@peggydannel933]

I love doing the list being creative helps with my sanity makes me happy being creative

[@jacquelinedavila-alicea7545]

Watched on the replay. Jackie, Stafford, Virginia. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@kapirk2244]

This class was very enjoyable and helpful. Absolutely interesting and motivating. Thanks for making it available.

[@vickiolejniczak5074]

I’m fairly new to the TN’s and I love your videos! You are absolutely my spirit animal!! I have lists upon lists! And I have a severe love of planners and pens... it’s become an issue and I’m currently looking for meetings in my area. I have trouble staying with one planner for more then a month and it’s becoming a bit expensive. I hope the TN will become my home permanently!! Thank you so much for you videos!! So much inspiration!! 🤗❤️

[@LayleByMail]

Yay! Thank you! Fellow list makers unite - ha ha!!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I have always liked the concept of a travelers notebook but never thought I’d have a use for them until now. I love al, these cool ides. I will for sure be making some of these.

[@LayleByMail]

Love hearing that!!

[@marypaulinem6705]

Luv this! Answered all of my questions and gave me a great education! Thank you!

[@LayleByMail]

So glad!!

[@janetkemper9177]

This video is fantastic! I just found your videos and I’m binge watching. I’ve always been a list maker but I am new to TN. Thank you!!

[@LayleByMail]

Glad you found me, Janet!!

[@SDH1970]

Thanks for the distraction today. 😀Much needed. When I begin a new TN signature I pre-decorate it. Washi, stickers, scrapbook paper. That way I don't have to think about each new page I start. It's helpful for people with busy schedules.

[@LayleByMail]

That's a great idea!!

[@deanamcmann6885]

I too add things that are done on my TO DONE lists. It feels like a small win to get me going.

[@berrygirlfinn]

Starting right here at the beginning and I already love you to pieces! You are beautiful with a beautiful spirit! I want to hear and learn everything you got to put out here! What a wonderful bit of luck I've had to find your channel... it's so much of what I need in my life right now. 🙏🏾 Very, very grateful..and now back to class!

[@LayleByMail]

YAY! Glad you found me, too :)

Thank you Layle. This was a great break from the world.

[@LayleByMail]

Thanks Jennifer! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lorilealott5962]

Thank you sharing all of these. I am enjoying, bought some supplies, now to brave the fun and jump in...from Ontario, California. Hoping to move to Utah...soon.

[@debbie.pettit]

Thank you so much. Truly enjoyed this! I use my TNs in much of the same ways, but now will go add “notes” pages of all your tips while I rewatch! 😂 Especially loved the part of having to create a little something for yourself every day. Same! I sleep so much better at night when I’ve added pen and washi to paper! My favorite quote is “I love my life. That’s why I decorate it!” Also would love to use my stamps more and play with mixed media, but dang that’s all so messy! Washi tape and die cuts/stickers are always my go-to. Other lists I have: essential oil recipes, favorite healthy meal options, scrapbook projects to complete, photography tips, gift ideas for friends/family. Each month I add a “ currently... “ section along with a few favorite things I’ve discovered. Your KZbin channel will be added as a favorite! Thanks again. Stay safe and well.

[@LayleByMail]

Love your ideas Debbie, thanks so much for sharing :)

As a beginner... what other tools/supplies should I purchase? I know I need adhesive tape but I am at a loss beyond that. Thank you for making creativity accessible

You're welcome! Yes, sooooo many different uses :)

[@llewis617]

Your video is extremely informative. I've been a franklin covey user since 1994. Last year I bought my 1st happy planner(s). Lol 🤭🤭 I recently bought 3 travels notebooks...Idk which size I want to use....I'm so excited to see the other 8+ parts. Keep it up. I'm loving it......writing down all the things to reflect back later. I want to start a youtube channel but don't know where to start or the subject. I'm learning and putting my ideas on paper.😍😍😍

[@LayleByMail]

Thanks Audrey, so glad you enjoyed it :) I agree with you - convert the world to them!!

[@logannewman7141]

I absolutely love this video! I have a big question. I have some inserts but I’ve yet to write in them because I’m afraid of making a mistake! I’m wanting to do everything right but can’t seem to put pen to paper. What should I do? Also I e had to quit my job to care for my mom so what is an economical cover? Thank you!!!💞

[@LayleByMail]

Hi Logan. Just now seeing your comment. You could write your list on a piece of white cardstock and then adhere it to your insert. Once you get more comfortable then you could start writing directly in the insert. Another option is to write with pencil first. If it was me, I would just go for it. If you make a mistake, that happens! As far as an economical cover; you could make your own. I have a video here on my KZbin channel about making your own inserts :)

There are a lot of choices!

[@Kindlelover88]

I’m new to travelers not books so thank you!!!!!!

[@MomofCurt]

Thank you! This was wonderfully done! One comment, cahier isn’t a size, but rather French for a thin notebook with a cardstock cover. Moleskin makes their cahier notebooks in small, medium, large, etc. Thank you again and stay safe.

Hi Danyel! Thank you. I didn't realize they were all called the same thing, now I know! :)

[@MomofCurt]

Layle By Mail very common. Side effect of studying French for so many years 😊
