[@Cruisingspagirl]

I love watching the creativity as you choose the stickers and layout!

[@cheryldepedro7029]

I would love to see more. These are my favorite type videos that you do! ♥️♥️. This is so pretty and cheerful!

[@donnabrady6594]

I'm very new to this so this video was very helpful to see your process from blank page to finishing the week! Thanks!

[@tigertailtime7679]

Love seeing the whole process! Would definitely enjoy watching more of these videos. Also love the tigers and color combo.

[@Jessrole]

For some reason your currently pages are my favorite videos. But this kind is giving it a run for it’s money!

[@gwenngauthier1301]

This is a really cute spread. I found this very helpful. I appreciate that you took the time to explain your process and then shared the follow-up you do as you complete the spread over the week. It gave me useful tips that I will try to incorporate moving forward. Thank you so much. I hope you’ll do others like this in the future. 😊

[@leenalunney4375]

That was great. I’ve been using a happy planner for a few years now but never think to fill it up at the and of the week. I love that. Also transferring the weekly to do list is a great idea. Thanks for the Inspo. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@nataliecorbin567]

yes this helps.. it is great to see the process from start to finish

[@saritasle]

you are back with Mike?!?! Yayyy so happy for you

[@QUEENINPINK]

This was soooooo helpful. You have no idea how much. I would love to see you do a one-page per day/hourly Plum Paper page. This is the planner I use most of the time but not sure how to make it cute. Thanks for all you do.

[@flynini27]

I’d love to see more of these videos. I appreciate all the work that goes into it so a lot probably aren’t needed but a playlist of the different: size, formats, themes of planner and any special themes you personally use would be tremendously helpful and fun to watch. I learn so much from your channel all of the time. Thank you so much for sharing with us❤

[@plansinthemaking]

Loved how this spread looked both before and after the pen. 😍 Knowing how much work goes into these pen videos I’m happy with just a few. Your plan with mes are my favourite! I do hope you get to stay in your house with the beautiful bee door!

[@renee9776]

I really like these kinds of videos. I know it’s more work for you so maybe just once or twice a month. I feel silly writing the little things, but like you said, it’s memory planning too. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

[@BjorkL]

I loved this video! I'm me to all of this and I really enjoyed watching the entire process. Please do more of these. 😊

[@kaywhorley1591]

Please do more of these videos - so many great tips and ideas! Congrats on your re-engagement!!❤

[@karlasellers3290]

Thanks for showing your process for decorating your planner, writing in your planner and what you do with any leftover white space at the end of the week. I love your idea of documenting daily events and especially putting stickers in those white spaces. I love your dog's name😃I'm happy to see your engagement ring is back, congratulations!

[@debbiemerritt5317]

Very helpful! When I was working I just planned without any decorations or stickers and now that I’m retired I’m really wanting to get into decorative planning.

[@lisalawrence5559]

Love this video. I don’t care that it’s long. It has helped me so much. I appreciate the fact that you explain everything and that you are totally real. Also, so happy for you and Mike ❤

[@Scrapbooksista70]

Love the color combination... green ( 2nd) and orange (3rd) favorite colors. Fabulous spread 😉

[@hyoung1262]

Love when you share before & after the pen! But 1st thing I noticed was your ring 😍 (I have missed the last 2 weeks of your videos, I was on vacation & hectic work week back.) I decide to skip back 2 weeks so I could catch up & hope to hear you share & you did, ❤ Congratulations Mary Ellen & Mike! Very Happy for you💝 now back to catching up on what I've missed on beautiful planning! 🙂 Thanks for sharing🩷

[@maggiek9111]

great spread!!! This was the first video of yours I watched I truly enjoyed watching the process.. thanks for sharing, would love to see more

[@nesb2110]

Love it! 😍 And I love that you and Mike are back together!!!!

[@debsnowden4310]

I really like and appreciate this type of video…..from start to finish….before the pen, during and after the pen. ❤

[@angelacastillo3500]

I loved watching this videos. I would love to see more of them. Gives us better ideas of how to write into ours. I could actually listen to you talk all day long. ❤️

[@kimberlyjordan4011]

Thank you! Yes, please do more of these!! I’ve always wanted to see the actual thought process of picking sticker books that go together.

[@amyhugentobler]

The RING is back! So excited for you and Mike. Congratulations!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Yay! Thank you!

[@vharville2343]

Hello again. Been missing in action over here. Trying to get myself back in the planning. I miss it so much and I used to enjoy watching your videos! You always do such a great job! I don’t mind that the video is long. I appreciate you.

[@andreasands694]

That was lovely thank you. Please do more. Also like that you mention the exact sticker books and pen colors you use. Thanks!

[@glendaleenutting717]

I loved this! There is something very satisfying about filling in all the blank spaces! It looks wonderful.

[@PensAndAPlan]

This was a joy to watch! Love seeing it from start to finish! 💙💙💙

[@maggiegonzalez5959]

The cat wants to meet the cats on your page ! 😆 specially the one doing yoga! LOVED this vid!

[@susansturniolo2463]

Love this!!!! I think it's interesting to see how other people think while planning

[@CarolLansky0226]

Loved watching this video! Thank you for sharing your process. I'm still relatively new to the decorative part of planning, so I am picking up on your tips & tricks for decorating. Please do more! 😃

[@cantantecait]

Just discovered your channel and 2024 will be my 2nd year with a happy planner and my first disc bound planner. I had a twin loop dashboard layout this year and loved it. I am excited to dive into more of your content and maybe take some restaurant ideas from you too 😉 My partner lives in Philly.

[@jenniferevelynhayes]

I loved this so much and didn’t want it to end. The colors, the theme, your design style with the colored pens - all of it! Yes, please, to more of these! 🙌❤️

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thank you so much!

[@anthonydepadro9733]

This was a reeeeeeeally good video, Mary Ellen!!!! Love the process!!! I kind of do the same thing. I NEVER get all of my “to-do” stuff done during any given week so I look back and add them to the next week as well. I think we have a lot of similarities in style because I binge watched your videos when I started planning and your way stuck!!! In a super great way!!!

[@kathyfuchs2197]

Love the spread and would love to see more like these.

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

This spread has inspired my spread for next week, thank you for sharing your process ♥. Transferring tasks to next week has been a lifesaving system for me - allowing myself to just dump thoughts onto the page and now worry whether I'll cross them off that week or not. I either transfer it to next week, or move it to my Running To Do half-sheet that stays at the start of next month to take things off of as I go. I'm finally finding planner peace!

[@BerniceHopper]

I loved this video. More please. Don't worry about it being too long - after all there's a pause button if we don't have time to watch it in one go.

[@Ahonui77]

This was great. I like this longer video.

[@brandyp149]

Omgeez thank you for showing how you used these. I have 8 people 6 of which are active kids and we have a very busy schedule and I could never see how this is actually able to work with an actual busy schedule. Love this!!!

[@msyankees657]

Do have a video for a horizontal spread? I love this! I want to back into planning, so I am binging your videos! 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

[@CraftPlanTeachRepeat]

Very helpful! I would love to see more like it! It turned out great!

[@zenobiabroadnax4936]

This is a pretty spread. I enjoyed the video. Very helpful!!!!

[@connieperkins783]

What size planner are you using? It is beautiful. I'm using A5 and I don't know if I could do the vertical. This is my first time to see your video, and I love it.

[@Greg55bona]

Happy Planner needs just a sticker book of boxes. I’d buy that

[@PlanningwithBumble]

They have some!

[@erinmenozzi3652]

Such a cute spread! I have been "planning" for almost two years now - and I feel like I have learned most of the basics from watching your videos. 🙂 I'm far from an expert but I do think this type of video is what really helped me, and I still usually pick up something new. I love watching your videos because of your creative designs.

[@phyllisroark8526]

I had no idea that you and Mike had gotten back together. I must have missed something lol Congratulation's to you both! Thank you for sharing a long video with us.

[@michellepowell9341]

Here I am, just hanging out, watching you work your magic with orange and green, enjoying your company, then BAM! You mention "wedding venue" and I notice your ring! SO happy for you!! ♥

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thank you!!

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

I 2nd that motion!!! 💍

[@ruthbarmore5211]

I really enjoyed this video and would like to see more of the same. Thanks!

[@KeKeDee15]

I absolutely love seeing this process and these videos. I miss this type of content! You are so creative and this is so helpful!

[@kathyboston7231]

These is my favorite type of video!!! I love how you incorporate the color and make it a piece of art!!!! Great job!

[@cynthiawempen3877]

I’m quite amused to have my name used for a tiger. Super cute spread!! 😊

[@elainerothenberger8764]

Love this spread. Really love hearing about you and Mike. You guys are like family, and I’m so happy for you. ❤️❤️

[@Bex_InMT]

Oh I love this so much! Orange and green are my 2 favorite colors and this is just YES!

[@theresadavis7604]

I love your style of planning and especially naming the spread, animals or girls when you use them. ☺️ your style is very beautiful and simplistic. I have been struggling a bit because I have a very quiet life (I’m 54 and my son is grown and out the house) and often feel like I don’t have anything to “plan out”, but you give me great ideas. Thanks for sharing!!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

I have a pretty quiet life too!

[@janicehopkins6198]

Thank you for doing this! I enjoy all of the videos, love new techniques, new products, enjoy how you plan and your finishing process. Thanks again!

[@ReneeHenderson-s6y]

This was a wonderful video! I’m new to this craft! I learned so much. You are an excellent teacher!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thank you so much!

[@wildflower_alice3032]

Loved the video and the spread! ❤️ 54:01

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

One of my favorite videos you’ve done! Lol; I thought my Bailey had gone outside because I kept hearing a dog barking and he was sleeping right next to me,( it was Bumble!) Please invite the cat and Bumble to hang out anytime! 😂

[@denammoskowitz3589]

I have learned so much from you over the years!! Thank you!

[@julieallenby6086]

I love this spread and the way you presented it. I love getting ideas from your work.

[@vikkisladen2849]

Your ring is back!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

💍

[@bubblepuffs]

Loved this video! I really enjoyed following along on the whole journey from the blank pages to the finished piece of art 😊 I also love hearing about what is going on in your life. I feel like we are all friends here 😊❤

[@PlanningwithBumble]

We are!!

[@dr.janaleewagner1177]

Such a cute spread!😊

[@krystalfalvey4333]

This was soooo helpful!! Thank you.

[@bravobirdie]

Mike? Wedding? Did I miss an episode? Lol loved this video and your very talented!

[@joanjacob7644]

Very fun video. Great for beginners too

[@_love_to_read]

Loved this video! Congrats on your engagement!

[@kathygarnett5115]

I just discovered you and I love it

[@laurameegan7206]

This was GREAT!! I LOVE your spreads and have tried (not so successfully) to adopt your style of planning. This video gives me more confidence that I can follow your lead while still making this style my own. PLEASE, more videos like this!! ❤

[@wendybecker4223]

Sweet Lady, I've been meaning to tell you that I am so happy you are back on with Mike! I'm going thru some major life changes, so I haven't commented much lately Still adore you and the fur babies. I would love it if Mike would do a planning video again with you. 😊

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Thanks so much, Wendy!

[@maxinehowe7336]

I know it's none of my business, but I was wondering what you were going to do about houses since you put so much work into Mike's house and you just bought yours. I'm glad you satisfied my nosiness without my being outright nosy and asking. LOL. I think of you as the friend I've never met, so that's why I have a vested interest in your life. yeah right, huh? LOL

[@PlanningwithBumble]

We’re all friends here!

[@nickieplayswithplanning]

I am going to Go Wild this year as well. It’s my first time going I’m so excited!

[@chantalproulx7302]

I am just starting with Journaling and I absolutely love that you talked about how you do yours! I think yours are so beautiful! Please show more of these? How do you select the sticker books? Is there a favorite brand, do you have subscription boxes for Journaling? How do you select pens? I've bought sets and find out they bleed through 😢 Anything like this video would be fabulous! Thank you!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

I will start doing more of these soon...kind of taking a break from writing at the moment

[@jackiepena1541]

Love your process & this turned out so cute. I truly enjoyed these videos no matter how long they are. So happy that you & Mike are back together ❤❤❤

[@ivettelily]

I enjoy very much this type of video. I hope you do more. Thanks!

[@karlalara2558]

I love these videos! ❤

[@aveeparker525]

More Please!!!

[@kimettao2544]

Love, love! I’m new at this and I was finding it a challenge between making it pretty but more importantly functional. I didn’t know the thought process of organizing what your week looks like and then building “pretty” around it. I also liked the idea of leaving space for the memories that are made along the way. I would love to see more!

[@amyzimmerman9776]

This was awesome, would love to see you make another one just like it, and the pet explosion was the best!! 😂 🐾🐾 🩷 Thank you! 🤗

[@debbyharasen6338]

OMG! You’re wearing your engagement ring!😮

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Yes!!

[@janetdalby6076]

Enjoyed this

[@Emilyisaknitter]

I really loved seeing the process from start to finish, I'd love to see more of these if you can fit them in. Thank you for sharing!

[@liedjesuitmijnrugzak9845]

Love this before and after the pen!!🧡

[@suewilson2829]

More please!!!

[@brendachapman7686]

I love when you explain your process in planning. It does help and inspire me in my planning. I would love to see more of these videos. Have a great week. Hey miss Bumble!!❤

[@deladyakarobin4777]

I love every spread you do. No matter if you have a lot of stickers or fewer.. Each time I watch a video I learn something different. I have a hard time letting go and just put stickers or writing all over, "fill it in", doesn't help that I can't doodle for diddly. I just got to let go and just try. Won't get any better at it if I don't do it right? You are the only person I've seen put in trash day.. in my world it is trash night, put it out the night before so it goes on my spread on tuesday.

[@denaeldridge9649]

Thanks .

[@Notable2Nikki]

I would have named that spread Who Day! I need to get that book so I can use all the Bengal tigers in football season.

[@juliamartinbacigalupo4159]

I LOVED this video!! Really helped a lot!!❤

[@bethanybean]

I LOVE this type of video!!!!

[@camrynweber]

I LOOVE these! They are my favorite videos you do!

[@lesliewells-ig5dl]

I would love to see more of these videos!!

[@janmari1581]

Love this, Yes would love to see more of these!!!

[@cindyplansherlife]

Really loved watching this from start to finish and it did give me more ideas. This kind of plan with me I love.

[@sheriduke5843]

Absolutely love this kind of video

[@jeniferdelatorre5296]

I love this so much!! We watch love is blind too! 😂Haven’t seen the newest season yet though. Thank you for sharing!

[@katereyes4916]

Thank you for words of inspiration when you put down the first quote sticker. We all need those reminders. Also, where did you get your stencil to make the lines ?

[@katereyes4916]

I see the link for the stencil now. Thank you!!

[@cathyboon5037]

Very fun and informative to watch! GO EAGLES! (I'm in California BUT the EAGLES are my team!)
