I’m sending this to a friend whose having a hard time with loss. I think this type of journaling will really help her

[@dazzlingcreativevibesandpl6774]

Your creativity is mindblowing, Mary Ellen... so proud of you for coming this far with everything going on in your life. Wishing you a blessed year of health, wealth & happiness..

[@brittanylewis7408]

I love watching how creative you are with all of your planners! I also just realized you and my mom are 9 days apart in age (she's older lol) I love how much you keep track of things with symptoms, the animals and your kiddos. You are an amazing mother and woman ❤️

[@PlanningwithBumble]

❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad she’s older 😝

[@GardeniasandGrace]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. I think my favorite thing about it is not just the beautiful spreads you made, but how much GRACE you give yourself. I hope I can be better about giving myself grace, like you do. ❤

[@thenappyewe]

Thank you for sharing and just being….human. It helps so much to see that others struggle with life too. It’s normal. Blessings and thank you again ❤.

[@SoKimistic]

Hi Mary Ellen! It's been a long time since l watched your videos. I've had a rough few years and stopped planning altogether. Seeing your FABULOUS spreads has inspired me to get back in and enjoy it whether I'm having a good day or not.

[@maureenpalardy4912]

Thank you for sharing! Your planner is a reflection of you. It is ok to take time off when needed. You are very creative!

[@dr.janaleewagner1177]

Nice walk down memory lane.

[@darlenevera1878]

I wish I could be this creative. Your books are gorgeous.

[@bethanyscraftyside]

I really enjoy your creative journal plan with me videos when we get them. Thank you for sharing!❤

[@sheilaf5713]

Thank you for sharing and thanks for reminding me its ok not to fill out a spread or not even doing a spread for a week. I have been struggling the last few months, especially the last few weeks so this reminder came at a perfect time. 🥰

[@stephanieblake4618]

It was definitely a tough year. You did what you could & that matters.🤗

[@klaskowski219]

I love love love your stitch pages! =] Also, thank you for always keeping it real, and not pretending that life is easy.

[@julesgeremaia4663]

Thanks for sharing this. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I have lost a lot of people I love but not a child so I cannot even imagine. You are so strong to keep going and to take the time to take care of yourself is oh so important. God Bless you and I hope someday the pain gets less harder on a day to day basis. Many thoughts and prayers your way!

[@connect.create.reflect]

Love this walk down your memory lane. Thank you for all of your inspiration and encouragement. You are a gem MaryEllen

[@Nyantastic2015]

I have ADD too and your Feb 3rd-5th notes were just so relatable. A million ideas and thoughts, never enough time!!! Anyway thanks for sharing this. I know a lot of it is very personal but it's so beautiful and you're so creative. Hope 2023 is a better year for you ❤️

[@PlanningwithBumble]

It’s such a struggle! I’m hoping to share more adhd tips this year (once I learn them haha)

[@michellepowell9341]

I joined you in May and am so happy to see your beautiful work on the weeks I missed! Your spreads come alive after you've put the pen to them and made them personal. ♥

[@ilzedickenson8746]

Thank you so much Mary Ellen❤ You are my inspiration for decorating my planner 💕 My OCD makes it difficult for me to leave blank or unfinished pages but you really help me with your honesty and the fact that you talk about your ADHD❤

[@PensAndAPlan]

Full of inspiration!! 💙💙💙 Love it!

[@andreaweavercoleman3890]

I love how you decorate your journal and appreciate your realness Mary Ellen.

[@eileenthompson3231]

❤ great flip through I love your honesty about the blank pages, you definitely had a hard year.

[@loisbondora7008]

Mary Ellen I’m so sorry about your loss. I’ve been praying for you. I can’t even imagine how tough it must be. I was sick & in hospital having two different surgeries. I was in hospital Thanksgiving. I’ve had a lot of health issues & was in ICU for six days during which time my heart stopped & I had to be shocked. It was & is a very scary time. I had a pacemaker put in that turned out not to work properly so less than a month I had another pacemaker & defibrillator. Now having problems again. I got my new 2023 planner but haven’t done anything yet. I’m behind months due to all the problems I’ve had. It really depresses me that I’m so far behind. I love watching you & you always give me great ideas. Thank you.

[@GaleW518]

I love looking at your journal spreads. I don’t recall the junk journaling one you did back in September. It’s so pretty! I will have to check that out.

[@WheneverCarlieSays]

Always love your flip throughs 💕💕

[@zammyb4535]

Thank you so much for sharing this! And for how much you keep it real. I really appreciate that about you! Wishing you a fantastic 2023!!!

[@candicehuggins]

I loved both flip-throughs (planner & journal). These are so beautiful! My goal is to use each week of my planner this year. I skipped several months last year because of moving and then just never really getting back into the swing of things consistently until November. 🙈🙈 But I figure a tiny bit of writing is better than a blank page. Love yours!

[@JenJthatcrazy8]

Love your creative journal spreads. I have a wellness journal and I really want to use more stickers in it (hello owning too many stickers LOL) along with leaving room for myself to right. Thanks so much for sharing and being real that it's ok to not write in your journal/planner.

[@lindawoodfill503]

I love your spreads ! Your so creative!

[@its_brittnie]

Your spreads are so inspiring! Really loved this video!

[@iyanashaw8365]

I absolutely enjoyed this flip through thanks for sharing your journey and experiences with us

[@jeliebr]

You are so creative. Every spread is more beautiful than the last! I appreciate your honesty and sharing with us. Seeing that you didn’t fill out every spread makes me feel so much better and makes me realize we all need to be easier on ourselves. I appreciate you and hope you have a wonderful 2023

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thank you! You too!

[@ClaireLouiseHolt]

Thankyou for the flip through and your honesty x

[@julieallenby6086]

I love your journals !

[@stephanierichards9036]

Love the flip through videos. Thank you❤

[@lifeisabreathingpoem6378]

Bando has about 7 or so sticker books that all have different themes. I use them a lot in my scrapbook/collage pages.

[@erinj9642]

I love your creativity. I love all the writing around and in between the stickers and your doodles. Very cool.

[@anawilkinson7008]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thanks!

[@roxannestcin8595]

Thank you for sharing!

[@barbarap6851]

Thanks for sharing your planner, Mary Ellen. You are so inspiring... After I watch your videos I can't wait to work on my planners!

[@kaitlinjenkins1727]

I love watching these flip throughs because it definitely inspires me! I think for this year I am going to combine this type of journaling style with a little bit of memory keeping since I want to use photos as well. Thank you for sharing all of your planners!

[@brandyblock6126]

I always love your spreads - just so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your life with us - it helps💛

[@newcokat1]

Love how creative you are ❤. You really inspire me, thank you!

[@Sewingtrue100]

Hi there, thanks for sharing, it’s really interesting how feelings and emotional issues can influence a page. I was thinking of making a set of words and stickers or photos that can be in a bundle, so that when I am depressed, out of idea, sick and out ideas, I could put that in the planner. I like the idea of placing neutrals as a way to show the state of feelings, cloudy skys or inward stickers great idea. I wish for your year to be better in your journey in 2023. The healing process the hardest of journeys.

[@handinhandwithhim8175]

Such a beautiful planner, thanks for sharing ❤

[@LivingtheSpooderLife]

We were all diagnosed the day of new years. Ugh who starts. New years this way!!! :'(

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Ugggh sorry. Mike just tested positive. Hope I don’t have it too 🤞🏻

[@LivingtheSpooderLife]

@@PlanningwithBumble oh my goodness I hope not. You've already had it. You don't need it again. Oh my gosh. I'm praying foryour situation. Hopefully your ok. Ugh I'm so sorry

[@berry186]

I love the 'find me at the pool' with the flamingo, the one with the girl holding a drink with the black and white striped sun hat, and the October monthly page. And also your bday page.

[@pikathebudgie1234]

I miss my happy planner😢 don’t have it with me 😢😢

[@JessicaAyers2012]

ME not judging but I’ve seen a lot of brain fog and decided to let you in on a vitamin my neurologist recommended called ashwaganandha it helps with moods, brain fog, memory and more. Really beneficial. I love your creative journal spreads and because of you ive been doing one going on three years and just journal all over like you. Love ya Mary Ellen

[@PlanningwithBumble]

I have heard of that. Will look more into it!

[@laurenl7501]

Thank you for always being so open! It’s one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much. I do have a question, do you know where you got the cover to the journal? Or do you recommend a shop with similar covers?

[@NinaBenski]

I’m pretty sure that was from The Happy Planner

[@jessicalane3462]

I didn’t see it on my home KZbin page. Just your post tiday

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Yeah idk what happened! It was just extremely low compared to my usually videos and I’m not sure why it wasn’t pushed out. Frustrating!!

[@carlacaldwell1719]

❤❤❤

[@debrakeesee9414]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@grannyjan6460]

How do you get the small picture of the stickers?

[@ligiadefaria5674]

What do you you with the arxhef and olove

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Jealous. You makes everything look easy even though I know you spend a lot of time on everything. :).

[@jenniferlsmith9032]

I am starting to do a journal but I need help

[@debpaynepurnell6131]

Do u decorate day by day or weekly?

[@PlanningwithBumble]

It depends! Usually every few days. But trying to get into a daily habit
