[@sameerabkhan]

so glad you support these

[@mbsblair9936]

Hi Amanda!!! It so nice that you are here to help and support with all of the issues going around right now, you are such an inspiration to me. Ilysm

[@baconstrip473]

I dont think anyone cares about palestine anymore, they have been starving for years and only now people are rushing smh. Anyways, I am just dissapointed of this world, people are not aware about this before. Btw still nice of you to raise awareness

[@mbsblair9936]

Yeah I guess that is true, but it is always nice for at least one person to raise awareness about it because then others might do the same

[@jhyleem]

okay but can we talk about how Amanda's "simple" spreads are a million times more complicated and gorgeous than my best spreads

[@TheIlwin]

lol same here

Exactly!

Same. It is so annoying to me when I create a spread and it turns out darker of less nicely then I originally planned...

[@autumnkinz]

Back in 2007 when I finished my first grad art degree, my professor knew that students traditionally hit a block. I had about a month before I carried on with my MFA work and he gave me the best advice. He said "I want you to make something- never stop making things - that you have made before, but with completely new parameters, materials, techniques, etc." That REALLY kept me from getting a mental/creative block because I was so focused on learning something new. I think doing this spread in a totally different way was SO smart!!!

[@beatrizbigles]

omg this is so cute and i’m in love with this theme 😍

[@tabithadehaan8405]

It's beautiful Amanda, I am proud of you, you seem really honest for one of the first times how you feel about art block and that kind of things. I love the way you made this theme. Efficiency is very important and just be kind to yourself ♡

[@nikidas1259]

Idea for a spread/monthly theme: You could do a cold drink (like iced tea or lemonade) or a hot drink (like hot chocolate). Then, for your mood tracker, you could have the drink spilling out onto the page with all of the liquid and ice cubes/marshmallows spilling out. Then, you could draw little faces on all of the ice cubes/marshmallows for how you're feeling. :D, :), :l, :(, :O Stuff like that!

When people say mean things to or about you, it’s not about you. It’s almost always about them and their insecurities. Sometimes we want to take things a little personally, because it means that we’re important. But truth be told, people are mostly thinking about themselves. And they don’t care about us as much as we’d like to think they do. For me, this was the best realization. People don’t remember what you wore or said nearly as much as you think about it. Let’s stop obsessing and taking ourselves so seriously.

This theme warms the heart! I'm glad you found something to smile about during the planning of this, Ms. Amanda. I like the setup of the weekly spread very much. The picnic details really make me wish we could all go out and have some much-needed out-of-the-house time. Oh, and I recommend snack shopping during a creative slump. I had a time where the font on food wrappers, plus cute cookie packaging gave me some inspiration for what to draw next. If you still can't go out due to pandemic precaution conditions, have a look in your cupboards and your fridge. Works wonders for me too! I haven't tried any of the Dutch Door, or French Door bullet journal pages for my own planning, but thank you for this look at a simple version of it.

Omg this was soooooooo relaxing I get art blocks a TON and this helped as well! For those of you fellow artists out there who have an art block rn, just keep going, get inspiration, OR embrace your art block, do other things you love, then eventually, art will hit you like, uh, something. Actually, now that I say it, this applies to anyone who has any sort of block, whether it’s singing, or cooking, or sewing, except for the things you need to do. Anyways, Amanda this was an AMAZING video as usual, very, VERY, inspiring, I hope you are safe! ❣️💞💗💜💕💓💖😃😃😃
