ahhhh shelbyonpaper here 👋😊 thanks for sharing! I love these videos so much, you’re such an inspiration! keep it up Ammie ❤

[@ammieyall]

Shelby! You’re the best. ❤️

[@Cassafrass972]

What a cliffhanger!! Thanks for the journal ideas! I have got to figure out how your flaps(?) (pictures, parts that flap over, etc 😂) are so flawless in your journal! I just can't ever paste mine in the right way. ❤ your videos!

[@ammieyall]

Thank you! I’ll talk about it in my next video! They’re not always perfect (clear tape helps hide that) but I love them

[@MsJudeAnne]

Your humor is hilarious! I needed this today. :)

[@ammieyall]

Thank you so much!! 😊❤️

[@meeplesoverpeoples]

your videos are never too long!! You could go over the same pages again and i heart listening to you talk about it!!!

[@ammieyall]

You are the best!!!

[@kristinagabrielsen1351]

This video was so funny, you're hilarious. I loved the flip through and the show and tell. I have to back fill so much of my Hobo 😬

[@ammieyall]

Thank you! I believe in you!!!

[@kaleighthacker4367]

I love watching your videos!! Thank you for the labor of love it is to create them! (I’ve seen your insta stories about how long the rendering and editing takes). Love that you have a coach/instructor you like for a morning class -I’ve always found that whether I like a workout class has so much to do with the teacher. Richard 4ever!!-I love seeing him on your stories & showed my partner because he’s so cute. But I didn’t realize he was new to the family! Actual parchment paper is genius! You asked for a reminder to fix the vellum pocket from your friends wedding. & I love the use of the hotel key pocket. I think the little rectangle that comes with my birth control may work as a pocket so I think I’ll try that inspired by you!

[@ammieyall]

Omg thank you so much about the pocket. You’re the best

[@ammieyall]

Birth control pocket sounds genius!!!

[@megjournals]

so blown away by your creativity with every spread! thank you for sharing your magic!

[@ammieyall]

Thank you friend ☺️💘

[@paperstoryjournals]

Ahh I seriously want my journal to look like yours when it grows up.

[@ammieyall]

☺️❤️

[@Jojournals90]

Your videos never fail to put a smile on my face. I watched this whilst waiting for a flight and had to control the giggling. ❤ (p.s. not worn a wired bra since March 2020 baby. Refuse to go back 😂)

[@ammieyall]

That makes me day! Safe travels!!

[@emmasmith8563]

I'm always happy when I see you've put a new video up! Thank you! Did I imagine you saying something a few videos ago about designing Hobonichi and reading themed t-shirts? That would be epic.

[@ammieyall]

Yes! My designer and I are putting the finishing touches on them right now. It is surprisingly hard to narrow down tshirt color choices 😮‍💨

[@AlexisViele]

Morning workouts....! I could NEVER! lol

[@ammieyall]

I haven’t been back lolllll

[@grantcrawford6707]

watched this while catching up on my weekly spreads in my hobonichi cousin!! i swear the last month has not been real, i feel like i blinked & boom now a whole month behind!! i hope you enjoy the rest of your april & backfilling!! :))

[@ammieyall]

Thank you! I totally agree. For a person who spends a lot of time reflecting on days by devoting a whole ass book to them I’m like HOW IS IT ALMOST MAY

[@kendraval]

“Make pockets by any means necessary” is going in my nichi today FOR SURE 💀

[@ammieyall]

Hahaha I’m honored

[@oh.journals]

I'm just a random woman on the internet, but girl, you're so beautiful! :O loved the video, it's always so great to meet new journaling friends

[@ammieyall]

This made my day!! Thank you! Nice to meet you :)

[@moonsandbears]

I love love love the way you inspire yourselfnin your journaling and inspire us in return. Obsessed with your videos and vibes. Thank you for sharing

[@ammieyall]

Thank you so much!! 💕

[@shar__]

Your planner is so much fun to look at and I love your editing style. Thanks for sharing.

[@ammieyall]

Thank you so much!!

[@TracyLynn2744]

Another fun watch! And I will tell you that I walked in my house and started watching this and the 43 minutes were agonizing in MY bra just watching so how you left yours on the entire time you filmed is a feat of greatness!! Until next time -- Be well!

[@ammieyall]

Haha! ❤️❤️

[@TheWaldHaven.]

You did well keeping that tourture device on for the whole video. I think I made it 5 minutes last time I tried and then chucked them alllll away hahaha. Love your personality, it's so juicey :D I'd liken it to chomping on a chewit. 🎉 full of colours and flavours

[@ammieyall]

I had to Google a chew it but now I need it!!

[@TheWaldHaven.]

@@ammieyall haha I'll have to send you some. Do you have a P.O.Box?

[@robyntorkewitzfink4087]

LOVE the word-based weekly spread

[@ammieyall]

Thank you! I think I’ll def be doing that one again!

[@elyselovesjesus]

Hahah obsessed with you and your personality!! Cackling the whole time

[@ammieyall]

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@ChappyPlans]

I FUCKING love you so much (said the weirdo book-loving, hobo-newbie, fellow content creator of a hot mess)! You are hilarious and I can’t even imagine how long it takes you to edit these vids. Your shenanigans with Elaine are reminiscent of my own with my hubs- we seem to forget that every time we try to start a conversation while I’m washing the dishes or he’s in the basement, the other will assuredly not be able to hear jack shit. Enter stage right: frustration, pent up resentment, and then the reality that we need to just not do that. Anywho- thanks for sharing- I feel like we’d be franzzzz IRL. Also- I only read Happy Place once, and it was more than enough for me. I hate that trope, too.

[@ammieyall]

Literally stalked you down on Instagrammmmm :)

[@kylafrank4128]

you are a delight!

[@ammieyall]

Thank you!!

[@btwjournals8384]

Obsessed!! ❤️

[@ammieyall]

Thank you!!

[@cfavero1]

Absolutely love as always, thank you for sharing!!! I also am enjoying the evolution of the weekly pages. I'm curious if you have a process/routine for these pages yet i.e. you do it every night? every day? in a big bolus at the end of the week??? I'm a sucker for process and I've enjoyed how you've shared yours for other aspects of your journaling, so I was curious if you'd be willing to share.

[@ammieyall]

Absolutely! I do not work on these everyday. I wish! I spend most Saturday mornings (and a bulk of the day, if I’m being honest- it’s my favorite decompress/alone/tv time after a long week) working in my hobo. I do tend to start with the weekly pages because I find myself avoiding those the fastest because I think they’re less exciting than the daily pages. I kinda just look at how much time/energy I have and if anything happened that week that really needs to be documented. When I stick in stickers that correlate with day (from restaurants or item tags or whatever) I tend to get more locked in to really fleshing out the week and that takes me more time than I want to spend on the weeklies. I’m enjoying keeping those pages more word heavy so I don’t get bogged down in little drawings. I’d rather save that energy for the daily pages. Is this helpful at all? lol. I wish my answer were better than that, but I think it comes down to what happened that week and how much energy do I feel like devoting to it. ❤️

[@cfavero1]

@@ammieyall that makes complete sense! I love the way you did the big and colorful words for the weekly and I might try something like that too. My weekly is also evolving, but I don’t exactly know what is going on yet, I just know I’m not really using it how I used to, so I’m experimenting!

[@taranickoledesigns3340]

Just made my day! I needed this video! 😂🤣 still hands down best cousin! But what a cliffhanger!?!? I wanna know why you named the channel Ammie y’all!!! AND since I started working from home I RARELY wear a bra! Let’s burn them! 😂🤣

[@ammieyall]

Haha I’ll share the story asap!

[@KatJohnson-mq9vp]

Another amazing and hilarious video. So much creativity! Can I send a prompt for April or May?!

[@ammieyall]

Please do!!! 🥰❤️

[@kathrynbyrne5460]

Alternate title: “This video ends when I take my bra off” 🤣

[@ammieyall]

Hahaha exactly!!!

[@maryannschuetz5155]

♥♥♥

[@ammieyall]

Thanks for watching!! 🥰

[@hanasonder]

Why is your name Ammie y'all, now I really want to know!

[@purpl3lina]

I think it was because a gym instructor started calling her that. I could be wrong though. I think she explains it in one of her earlier videos

[@hanasonder]

@@purpl3lina oooh, thanks 😁

[@ammieyall]

It’s not but I love that you caught that @purpl3lina! I’ll tell yall next month- it’s a lot ish to explain 😂

[@doreenvasquez1270]

​@@purpl3linaHe called her that because he found out that was her "social media" name. 😄 I really want to know the story behind her name as well... impatiently waiting!

[@hanasonder]

@@ammieyallready and waiting! 🍿

[@GalacticBlader]
