I'm still watching but I wanted to jump in and say how GORGEOUS your new pen is!! I gasped out loud when I saw it! A dream pen 💖

[@Jojournals90]

I can’t stop staring at it. I just sit there turning it to see the swirly bits shimmer. It’s so beautiful 🥲

[@annettefertitta6868]

I would love to visit London and Paris, I would have to visit Manchester and Liverpool and take a picture on Abbey Road- love the Beatles and find most of their music so timeless! I really came to appreciate their music in my 20’s and 30’s

Brilliant 1month, 3months, 6months reflection page! I love your channel, Jo. Thanks for what you do:)

[@Jojournals90]

I can’t wait to fill it out. Thank you so much! You are welcome 🙏🏻

[@sofiiawithtwoeyes]

I love the idea of a small cozy meet-up! I’m based up North but a journaling get-together would be so worth the travels. Thanks for sharing your fest experience - and good luck with your new Avec! Looking forward to seeing more of it in the future months 💛

[@Jojournals90]

Ohh this is good news! It will also be a good excuse to go stationery shopping in our beautiful stationery shops. X

[@TheCommonCorner]

ive been enjoying this lovely video in little bits through my revision~ so nice to hear you chat about your avec. ill save the rest of the video until after my exam tomorrow! ❤

[@Jojournals90]

Awww thank you - it’s an honour to be your revision break treat! Xx

[@TheCommonCorner]

also oh my gosh congrats for 2k!! 🎉

[@TheCommonCorner]

Just love seeing how you are using everything you got from the SF! Loving the tentacles, loving the special spot for the Moomin House, loving the magnetic clips! Saving the rest of my thoughts until tomorrow 😌🍀

[@dezs-diary]

I gasped and said “oh wow!” at the same time as you! That pen is gorgeous 😍

[@dezs-diary]

I also have to add that this was so fun to watch! I got so many great ideas ☺️ Also how neat that you met Brontë & The common corner! I really enjoy all of your channels ♥️

[@Jojournals90]

Aww thank you! I’m glad you got some ideas. Oh meeting them and having a chat was so fun. Xx

[@annettefertitta6868]

I love the photo of the Common Corner’s Avec! You did tape frame it 💕

[@annettefertitta6868]

Love Brontë, I think I found you through her channel. I would so love to meet someone that would understand my stationery obsession. My husband and 2 of our 3 children don’t understand it at all!

[@Jojournals90]

It’s such a good feeling - fully recommend finding something in your area it is 100% worth it.

[@yesimthatlisa]

OMG your journal jumper is so beautiful! I really enjoyed your overview of the stationery fest. I also love stickers and washi tapes too.

[@Jojournals90]

It’s so beautiful. Thank you! Xx

[@thejournaldiaries]

Lovely to see your set up! I just set up my next book this morning :) its so fun to set up. I like having avec , feels like you can start fresh in july. I use that year calendar page at start as a mood tracker (see my videos if interested in how) . Ohh yes I love my weather stamp too! Its so fun to click them. I have other ones too but think weather is most used 😂 enjoy your journal ❤

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you!! The weather stamp is amazing, I am having to resist buying all of them! Xx

[@kj.mclean]

So excited that you got your grail pen! Congratulations! Is your Sailor Pro Gear the Spring Rain edition? I thought it looked like it. I love mine so much. Not going to lie - so pleased and envious that you and “CC” met and had fun together! Maybe I’ll crash the party next year. 😂 Enjoy the Avec! Here’s to the next six months!

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you!!! I honestly can’t remember the name and I can’t seem to find it on the website anymore. But it’s a popular one, spring rain does ring a bell. I really should have noted it down 🤣 I am also so pleased I got to meet CC - and o course the more the merrier!! 🥂🍾

[@thejournaldiaries]

Oh ignore my mood tracker comment as watched rest of video and seen what you did :) lovely idea ❤

[@Jojournals90]

🤣🤣 thank you. Yeah, mood tracking is hard as there are so many moods

[@thejournaldiaries]

@@Jojournals90 I get that 😊 hungry makes me moody badly and tired makes me quieter and just annoyed 😆 xx

[@melissam3072]

Jet pen's have refills 0.38, 0.5, and 0.7 for the Uni One pens!

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you!! All though jet pens is very expensive to ship to the UK but Ive managed to find some on a UK site. Thank you though ❤️

[@bbodalski]

A jumper for my planner…I so need on. I totally moved into an avec as well… ❤

[@Jojournals90]

It’s good for those cold winter months. Congrats on moving to an Avec! Hope your first day in your new book went well.

[@HappyYogi711]

Great video! I have an Avec as well! Where did you get the weather stamp?

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you! I got the stamp from a stall at stationery fest that I can’t remember, but I have found them on both miso paper and jet pens. It’s called Kodomo no Kao Pochitto Button Stamp - Weather

[@WendyInMD]

I’m still watching and enjoying the video. 😊 Where did you get the weather tracker @18:10? Is it self-inking?

[@Jojournals90]

Hey - thank you! The name of it is in the description if you want to find it. I can’t remember the name from the top of my head 😅 and it is self inking.

[@Easypeasypumpkin]

the calico and tortoiseshell platinums are also my grails, we both gasped at the same tome :')

[@Jojournals90]

Great minds gasp alike - wait that sounds weird 😂 but you get what I mean 😛

[@asootspriteart]

MisoPaper sell the Uniball One refills in the UK!

[@Jojournals90]

Life. Changing. How did I miss that? (Although they are out of stock right now but thank you so much!) xx

[@Planner_girl_kel]

@@Jojournals90they’ve been out of stock a while. I have to use 0.5 but sometimes the pen I wanted came with smaller but I find it scratchy.

[@kj.mclean]

Looking at these comments, it’s clear: I’m just going to have to move to London so I can join in the fun! 😂

[@Jojournals90]

Yup. I think it’s your only option 🤪

[@kj.mclean]

@@Jojournals90 😂😂😂

[@lamusiquelamour]

What was the notebook in the front?? Was it a notebook you can stick your stickers in and then be able remove them again?!?!?!

[@Jojournals90]

Hey! It is the sticker release paper insert from travelers company. And you are correct - you can add and remove (although it’s not great for washi tape or washi stickers) such an amazing invention!!

[@lamusiquelamour]

@Jojournals90 yes it is!!!! I can't believe that exists! I'm so excited! :D thank you!

[@cerealnana]

You got my dream pen! Congratulations! I am in London and I'm so down for this Meetup! I also have a monster paper cutter and I'm happy to cut down notebooks to any size for free. Any excuse to use the thing!

[@Jojournals90]

Yay! Another London notebook friend ❤️ also when you mentioned a monster paper cutter I imagined a paper cutter that looks something like the Cookie Monster 😂🤔

[@cerealnana]

@@Jojournals90 it is just the nickname I gave it. It is actually the HFS Heavy Duty Guillotine. That just sounds boring!
