I understand completely. I watched my mom fade when I was 18 yrs old from cancer. Our health is one of the most important

[@StephanieWeiss]

I love how Wallace decided to keep you company in this video and he also matches with your spread 🌸◻️◼️

[@dickiebutterfly]

I never really gave much thought to the black and white planner layout. But this looks really good thank you for sharing. I will definitely look at these differently. It look simple and elegant.

[@genacorley7650]

Thank you so much for reminding me to be thankful for my health. My father, step father and father-in-law all died from Alzheimer's. So far, none of my siblings, my husband or myself have any signs of the disease. You do such great work on here...please don't ever think of your work as trivial or unimportant. You have inspired me to get out of my comfort box and be more creative. Thank you for all you do.💜

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Gena Corley ❤️❤️❤️

[@berrygirlfinn]

I adore your After the pen lessons! I am always so grateful that you share so much of your ideas, ups, downs and even ways to correct mistakes...I mean, "who does that in (Perfectly Fake) KZbin!?" A real leader!

[@pailineann]

This is one of my fave before and after the pens spread of yours, Mary Ellen. Thank you so much for sharing your talent to us.

[@kathyleo969]

Thank you for your ideas! I am not busy a lot of the time and now I know what I can do with empty spaces. I ♥️ the idea filling in as the day happens or next day to look and recall things you have done or accomplished- thank you for these great ideas

[@kelleycj9762]

This is definitely one of my favorite spreads. I really enjoy your videos and your planning style. And the pets. Can’t forget the pets!

[@Jenny_FromDaBlock]

I loved this spread and how you think out loud. I think it’s wonderful that you’re dating and I hope you’re enjoying his company ( you must be.. twice in one week.. you go gurrrl... 😉)... Yes.... more of these- pleeeze!!

[@makyni03]

I truly enjoy watching your planning videos. This one was such a joy to watch because the way you talked and shared throughout the video was enjoyable. From your what you are grateful for to sharing the story about your husband. I enjoyed how you talked about having your solitude (I that person too). Shared your traveling plans, being a reader, and dating! I am now in the empty nesters, 50ish years of my life, so I can relate to your sharing out loud as you planned. My husband had a surgery in which they mixed up the charts at the hospital so this has changed his life forever. No days are pain free for him. He was in the Army for 19 years and had to take a honorable discharge before his twenty year mark! Although a large lawsuit was paid, with out his health nothing is the same! so thank you for sharing your thoughts as you planned! I would love to see more of these videos for sure!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Tara Carthen I’m so sorry to hear about husband! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I will try to film more videos like this

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

Okay I literally just got straight up offended when I saw this spread - HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH ALL THESE BRILLIANT IDEAS ENDLESSLY!

[@LilAnnabellesPlans]

I love this spread! It’s beautiful!

[@kelseymiddleton8562]

I’m not going to lie, I got teary eyed when you mentioned dating. I am so happy for you Mary Ellen. I’m sure it was hard for you to take that step, but know you are an inspiration to all of us. And this spread is gorgeous.

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Kelsey Middleton thanks Kelsey. I’m sort of a realist - he’s not coming back no matter how much I wish he would. So I must move forward and try to find someone else who I can share my life with

[@SewCraftyNana]

Love the after the pen. It’s good to see how others complete their spreads day by day. Thanks for sharing.

[@lifewithvalerie21]

I really like when you fill it out as you go. It’s nice to see how you change your lettering to make things fit and fill in the space! Thanks for sharing!

[@meloncitaplays]

I LOVE the white writing on black paper!! This is such a great idea

[@geriredlinger3000]

Love when you do your "after the pen" video's! Helps a lot! Love your style of planning!

[@tnwinyard]

One of my favorites!!

[@trishmcf7703]

I love after the pens! I loved watching the before and after. Hope you do more of these 💕

[@Mischyfs]

I love when you do these after the pen videos. Thanks for sharing your ideas. =)

[@kalyndabaumgarden3021]

I love this spread!! I also really like seeing the process! Awesome video!

[@JessicaLemmon]

Really loved this one! The black stripes are so unique. 🖤🖤🖤

[@sdawson0426]

I really enjoyed after the pen. The colors are gorgeous.

[@naureenr.s.4065]

Absolutely love your handwriting and lettering! Really enjoyed watching the week go by for you and seeing after the pen completed look. Your lettering is very inspiring!

[@StefanieStJohn]

I really enjoyed watching your process! You've been really inspirational for me lately. Thanks!

[@chichibee8484]

I love these after the pen videos. and it helps me realize I dont have to plan my whole week when I do my spread.

[@genag301]

I love this all week vid. Not to long at all! ❤️

[@imetrice42]

I love love this! So beautiful and practical too!

[@lauraseiter6217]

I love this video format! Please do more of these!

[@katrinacole6741]

So pretty. I love the black and pink.

[@DrJoyceSuber]

Thanks for remembering to post. I ❤️ ❤️ it. Your creativity is amazing. Kudos to you.

[@KenyaPatterson]

Yes I love theses videos. Honestly, they have really helped me plan. So thanks for sharing this with us. I would love to see a flip through of your current and old planners!!!!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Kenya L Patterson I have flip through videos on my channel. Search the flip through playlist

[@KenyaPatterson]

@@PlanningwithBumble Thanks! I found it😊

[@HollyWood-pm3xq]

This spread is great! I like your spreads and videos. I appreciate you sharing your thought process in filling in your planner. I am always learning something new l can do with my planner.

[@wandathefam621]

Wow I live in PA as well 👍🏻👍🏻 I love your videos and all the spreads you do.

[@eponine318]

I loved watching this and seeing your process. I know it must be a lot of work but I hope you do more of them!

[@mamabear3247]

I love the after the pen video. I found it very encouraging and real that we don't all get every to do list done. I work full time and have 2 small kids so even with the best intentions there are days it just doesn't happen. I have never done a coordinated spread but I really like seeing these. My planning seems a chaotic mess and I am loving the coordination with these. Might make me less anxious. I will also write in things I have done to give me a sense of more accomplishment when I cross it off.

[@abbywhite4735]

Loved this video!! Was nice to see how you use it throughout the week!! Really like how the spread turned out too!

[@reneebarrette4514]

I freaking love this!

[@staceyadams7585]

I was so nervous with this layout but WOW! It turned out amazing! I love your videos and planning style.

[@vivaciousv1936]

I loooove how this turned out! I know it’s extra work but I love seeing your thought process as you complete each day and we see that ur human like us and make mistakes in your planner as well😁😁😍😍

[@cynthadarrow8526]

Beau-Ti-Ful!!! Mary Ellen... You are SO creative! Just amazingly beautiful. Love it!

[@ashleytaylor81817]

I LOVE how this turned out! So pretty! 😍

[@Yoontje]

Really loved watching this video! It gave me more inspiration on what I can do when I haven’t got that many plans and it’s also nice to see how your week progresses in your planner 😊

[@planning_with_patches5860]

I also love the spread and video!

[@jande14]

Sooo pretty! I enjoy your layouts. Keep 'em coming 😊

[@deniseyeaisaidit]

This is so amazing and super creative!

[@julesgeremaia2575]

It's AWESOME!!!

[@debbieb3952]

Great spread! I do the same with my lists. They are usually a general overview of what I need to get done. If it's a must do today it gets a box! Works for me. I need my "need to get done list" in my view if I'm ever gonna get them done..... Even then it doesn't always get accomplished but it's the best system I've found so far... For me.

[@rhondadowdy79]

Thank you for inspiration. I will now be adding a gratitude section in my weekly planning.

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Rhonda Dowdy it really helps!

[@aprilandbella6738]

Hey that was awesome when I first saw layout i was like nice but not for me now I see all the creativity you came up with and now i am like WOW! you know it out of the park every time keep up the good work. Thank you for remembering the health is important and your husband put up a good fight with you by his side. I did not take it as you looking for someone feeling sorry for you but a memory and an appreciation. I hope you are able to grow more peace regarding your husband everyday.

[@audreydagenais]

I love those videos so much! You inspire me to make some :)

[@proudladybug]

I love my Air Pods too!!! AND we're going to Longwood Gardens this coming week as well (my daughter loves taking pictures of flowers), however, we're going during the week day since she's homeschooled. Nonetheless, the spread is gorgeous as always!

[@christinagonzalez7125]

Thanks for sharing yes I can relate living by yourself have own peace time also have have family & friends are also important too

[@cherylrobertson5629]

Loved this Mary Ellen! You made me want to go back to doing my gratitude list. I love my air pods too. I walk around the house listening to podcasts while I do housework, etc. So happy you are dating!

[@beverlystotz5652]

If you wanna do it, I will watch it. I enjoy seeing the end but thinking of filming everyday is overwhelming to me. I envy your lettering skills! It adds so much to a spread.

[@lauriemcbride426]

Thanks for sharing, I love this and thinking about trying for myself.

[@gracemorrell]

Loved this video, thanks so much for sharing.

[@Karelife]

So pretty, I don't do HP, I'm a hobo weeks girl, but I love love your creativity and beautiful spread. More please.

[@GL1FE]

[@msdreamer_4984]

I really enjoyed your video. Beautiful planner page!

[@melmyselfandI72]

Love this, thanks for sharing 🙂

[@kittencreates2785]

Wallace matches this pretty spread!

[@carolsailer1395]

I can relate to losing your husband to something terminal... My late husband, died from lung cancer stage 4, he fought a long & courageous battle!The doctors only expected him to live 3 mos...he lived 4 1/2 years!!! I have since remarried...I also was divorced before that...losing a husband to a death is soo different than a divorce... Love your videos!

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Carol Sailer sorry you had to go through this too

[@laramauss1948]

looks fabulous!

[@ashleyhaskins8618]

This is one of my favorite spreads, you inspire me very much. I just started the 2019 2020 school year on Friday I am visually impaired and blind and I use a Identification cane to get help me navigate / get around.

[@roshawnevallandingham8119]

WALLACE! 😺. He matches the spread...Maybe consider changing the name of your channel to planning with Bumble & Wallace. 💕💕

[@genacorley7650]

I went to the craft store today to get a white gellyroll pen so that I can do a spread like this. That was all I meant to get! However, all their cardstock and printed papers were 50% off, all their Happy Planner stickers were 50% off, and all their Christmas decorations were 50% off! I made out like a bandit! I spent $85. Shame on you for inspiring me to be more creative! Have a wonderful time in Paris!💜

[@PlanningwithBumble]

Gena Corley thank you! Sorry I enabled you lol

[@scrapplancreatewithtracey9714]

This has to be one of my favourite spreads ever!!! Have fun dating :)

[@cgfllagc84857]

TEAM WALLACE!

[@mskhouhawj]

I can't ever make my pages look this good. Also, did you decorate your pages before filling it in? I'm always amazed by how pretty your finished pages are. I stumble on your page on accident, and i've been binge watching them! Send you lots of love from Tulsa, OK. ❤❤❤

[@karenpatton5512]

I just 💕 this spread! It’s one of my favorites! I’m so jealous that you have Wegmans to shop at! We don’t have them in Fl!

[@mrshadenoughofallthis911]

Great video.

[@nikkizetlian4421]

I love the spread. I don’t mind Wallace

[@angelaarmstrong6405]

[@planning_with_patches5860]

I love my alone time too. But I can't be alone without my fur baby. I we t on vacation and came back to my apartment and was not able to pick up my dogs from the kennel and I didn't realize how much I hated being in my apartment all alone without them.

[@michellehernandez2116]

I love your spread! Thanks for sharing! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those black strips from? Thanks,

[@Bumblebee151991]

Michelle Hernandez it’s black construction paper from Arteza.

[@michellehernandez2116]

@@Bumblebee151991 Ok Thank You. I thought maybe it was some kind of adhesive. Lol
