This flip thru was the best! For several reasons: 1) The review was very well organized and entertaining. 2) Although you had some tough times, you stayed true to yourself. 3) Throughout your challenges, your creativity was on point and so much fun! 4) Despite everything, you were grateful and took care of yourself anyway. Kudos to you, Mary Ellen!
You can chat it up all you want during your flip throughs, I love hearing about them and because of that I have learned a lot... On another note, I have been wanting to put decorative paper in my planner to mix it up a bit, like you did for example, national sticker day one.. it is so cute.
I love these types of videos because it gives me ideas for my planners. I also love it when your videos are chatty. You were my very first planner influencer to watch. Love love love your videos
I watched until the end! I watch your videos while sitting at my vanity getting ready for the day. I split it up over a few mornings but I just love your content and your spreads!! Thank you for doing what you do 😊
YOU DO *NOT* TALK TOO MUCH!! I don’t like videos set to music. I come to your channel because your voice is soothing and comforting! I love hearing about your life and sharing the year with you!!! WE LOVE YOU PWB!!! ❤❤❤
You’re so welcome! Thank you for being so real with us! Still here! Love these videos! BTW you did a really good job with “Connect” this year! Great job! 🎉🎉🎉
I watched the whole video. I want to be more creative in my planner and I get a lot of ideas from you. I can't believe people express negative comments. Ignore them! Also, I know talking about what you have been through is helpful to so many people who are struggling. Keep being you!!
I watched it all and loved it. I love how you name the pages and the furbabies and the girls. Can't wait to see what 2024 brings to your planners. HUGGS Terrie
Mary Ellen, I love the long flip throughs! I'm still here. I enjoy your dialogue too. Don't change anything. Happy New Year to you and yours. I hope that 2024 is a great year for you.
Yes, I watched your video until the very end - and I loved every minute of it. It is reassuring to know that I am not the only one that has a Big Planner with spreads that are not filled in. Happy New Year and may 2024 be filled with lots of sweet surprises for you.
Yes!!! I watched it to the end… I absolutely loved watching this. I learned so much from listening to you talk about each page you created. You create amazing spreads. I can’t let myself start buying all these stickers… during the beginning of the lockdown, I donated ALL my sticker, washi tape, markers, pen cases notebooks and all the things I enjoyed. I just had to clean house and clear the stuff out. Thank you for your all time you give to share your creative ideas with us!!
I absolutely love your flip throughs! I love ALL of your layouts! You are so talented and creative! You are motivating and a gift to the entire community. A true blessing when social media can sometimes be so negative. Thank you for all that you do and share. I also want to thank you for your support of mental health and self love & care.
It was a hard year, but in the end you chose positivity. Like you, I've decided to be grateful to 2023, even though it was a really rough year. Let's look forward to 2024 all together and try to manifest this motha trucka. As always, I love these long year-end videos where I can lie back and feel like we're chatting like old friends. Happy New Year, Mary Ellen! Please kiss the animals for me.
I watched it all at one time - and while standing at the stove, LOL. I was trying to cook, of course, but reached over and took a picture of every single page. You are amazing and I love everything you say in these, shoot, I can’t think of the word, let’s call them “recordings”. You don’t talk too much. In fact, you are quite encouraging to those of us who are struggling to find our long dormant creativity, your comments are instructive, and your personal comments cause us to identify with and bond to you, as your strong following proves. That is quite an artistic 2023 planner you created. Thank you for letting us see it.
I'm still here! It is great that you show the weeks that you don't complete. It is a confort for me because I feel very guilty when I don't use my planners, but sometimes I am just not in the mood.
Here at the end!!! I loved going through your year with you. I did a flip thru of my own planner reading things out to my husband lol. It’s crazy how much time changes things, people come and go unfortunately and just you have a glimpse of these little moments of life. I absolutely love it and I don’t think you talk too much lol.
Maryellen I love your, videos, your style, fashion and your honesty with your life events. I too lost a son (36yr) so I get you. I have been watching since Covid and look forward to these flip through layouts. I use them a lot for my NEW year. Keep doing what your doing and don’t let the haters steer into someone your not. Much much love ❤️
Still here....in 2024! Lol I loved your spreads, I love your transparency and I like you talking about your life. Realizing others go through grief and trauma and allowing yourself to have the bad days but pushing forward anyway is therapeutic
I watched it til the end! So many great layouts, my absolute favorite was your Thanksgiving one where you had the gratitude lists through the counter. Right after I watched the PWM video of that spread I put a post it on my 2024 planner’s Thanksgiving week to go back to that video for inspiration! I definitely don’t mind your “chatty” videos because it feels like time with a friend discussing life and planners.
I love year-end flip thrus!! For me, it's a trip down memory lane and also maybe getting ideas to decorate my planner. I will never understand ppl who complain about you talking too much.. I enjoy the chatting and talking through the process. Keep being you! 😊
Still here! Loved looking at all your spreads and I really enjoy listening to you talk through them. Thank you for all your videos. Sort of feel like I have a planner friend even though I’m the only one I know personally that is into this. Your videos are my favorite!
Mary Ellen. Part of the reason I enjoy your RUclips channel is that you are authentic and I enjoy getting to know you through this venue. Don't stop chatting. You do NOT talk too much. (that was something I remember reading on my elementary school report card-LOL) But seriously, I think most of your followers have walked this journey with you with all it's ups and downs and MOST of us can relate. Keep being you Mary Ellen. I personally thank you for all your input, ideas, and 'adventures'. Just be YOU-which is great!
still here. watched half last night before bed and the other half when i got up this morning. i love your flip throughs and that you kind of explain your process each week, and if i'm being honest, i enjoy listening to your planner talk while i sit and mess around in my own planner.
Hey girl! I watched the whole thing! I love that you talk the whole time and are just real, that's so refreshing and continues to be why I stay watching your videos. You are so sweet and congratulations on the house! ❤
I watched to the very end. I love that you talk about what you are feeling and thinking. It's not always easy to be real and honest but it helps us to know that we aren't alone in our imperfection and the feelings of real life. Thank you!
I like seeing a full 6 months to 1 year flip through. Secondly, I like seeing I'm not alone when I do not fill out planner. I always come back to it but it felt like I was quitting until I saw others had the same issue.
Made it to the end! I so look forward to these videos each year and feel so inspired after watching! Also enjoy seeing that you don’t always keep up with it every week - because I don’t either! We love how chatty you are in these and all videos. I usually turn them on when I’m planning and it feels like I’m doing it with a friend!
Really enjoyed the layouts of your pages & listening to you tell about what was going at that time in your life. I like your style of planning/journaling. Thanks for sharing your story. Happy 2024!!! God Bless
Thank you for taking the time to share your planner flip through! I thoroughly enjoyed listening and seeing the different spreads you used throughout 2023. I appreciate you!
no tell me EVERYTHING about your spreads!!!!! i am also a talker and i loooove hearing other people talking about whatever!! loved the video! just got my first happy planner so im binge watching your videos 💘
I watched the entire video. Thank you for being so open and raw about your planner life with us. i cant speak for everyone but it made me understand im not alone in this world. im glad to be a new follower to your channel.
I love hearing you chat! I like hearing about your life. Its therapeutic and educational. Seeing your process while decorating is also entertaimimg. I watched til the end. Im glad you gave a recap of when you and Michael got back together because I was wondering when that happened. Congratulations! Im so happy for you. I love the transparecy of the skipped weeks and how u gave yourelf grace. I will still go back ad watch the videos I mised.
I enjoyed this video. I really appreciate your honesty. For some, it's easier to omit the hard months & weeks & days. But you are real and, when it shows in your spreads, you own up to it and I totally appreciate that. So, when my planner spreads are bleak, I don't feel so bad. It gives me grace so thank you. I also don't mind the talking through it. I did my spread while listening to this video. It was great. Happy New Year!
Watched until the end! One thing I need to do in my planner is use decorative paper. I have yet to do that but feeling like I need something new. Thanks for the inspiration!
Watched until the end! I love your long videos! The longer the better! 😂 I’ve also been watching a lot of your older videos. Went back to the beginning and watching forward. Have a wonderful and blessed new year Mary Ellen! Love you and everything you do. 🥰
I'm late but i watched til the end...i like to watch longer videos when I'm getting ready to go to work, so don't stop...keep doing what you're doing...keep being you...
it's nice to look back at our planners at the end of the year. this year i thought i didn't do well because i stopped journaling daily. then noticed that i didn't stop, i transitioned into a different way in an almost ombre effect between Sept and Oct. it's kinda like a growth chart, to see how far you really did come in a year. it's nice know my planner doesn't have to be perfect. thank you
I LOVE THE TALKING! I love to hear how you feel about your spreads, your inspiration to create each one and the encouragement we get from your words. NEVER. STOP. TALKING!
I loved this flip through. I watched the whole thing. It took me all day, I took breaks in between work and laundry it was nice to just come back to when I needed a few minutes of downtime. Your videos could be two hours and I would watch! Keep on chatting!!
Your flip throughs are one of my favourite videos of yours - not only because of all the lovely spreads but the memories of watching them throughout the year and enjoying listening to you chat as you create. I am not a fan of flip throughs to music even of sticker books. December was an issue for me too. 🤦🏻♀️ In 2024 I want to write in my planners during the week and not back plan! Thanks for all the work you do in putting out these videos! 💕
Watched the whole video, in fact I've been watching a lot of your videos lately. I just discovered your channel and love your work. Also, unfortunately, I can relate to your grief. I lost my angel, Gabriel, 4 years ago. 💔 Thanks for share your craft and life. ❤
Loved this flip through, Mary Ellen, and loved it even more because you walked us through your memories. 🥰 So keep the chit-chat comin’ and Happy New Year! 🎉🥳❤️ I can’t wait to see all your decorative and functional planning ideas in 2024. Yay!!
Still here. Loved the chatty, long video. Lots of good ideas and reminders to give oirselves grace when things are tough and/or busy. My planning fell off a bit in December too. Starting off the new year strong.
I ALWAYS hold out to the end and i like to hear Bumble grumbling, it makes the channel name make sense. 😊 i enjoy binging your videos when i get in a planner funk too ❤

You can chat it up all you want during your flip throughs, I love hearing about them and because of that I have learned a lot... On another note, I have been wanting to put decorative paper in my planner to mix it up a bit, like you did for example, national sticker day one.. it is so cute.
I watched till the end 😊❤
1:02:54 still here! Love this entire flip thru!!!
I love your spreads so much and hearing how you came up with the ideas for them and the stickers and papers, etc. you used really excites me!

I watched the whole video! I like saying to myself “I remember watching her create that spread”. Stationary nerd!
OMG!! ALL of your spreads are just AMAZING❣️ Watched till the very end!
YOU DO *NOT* TALK TOO MUCH!! I don’t like videos set to music. I come to your channel because your voice is soothing and comforting! I love hearing about your life and sharing the year with you!!! WE LOVE YOU PWB!!! ❤❤❤

Keep the long videos coming. You helped me give myself grace for not using my planners some weeks.
I watched the whole video. I want to be more creative in my planner and I get a lot of ideas from you. I can't believe people express negative comments. Ignore them! Also, I know talking about what you have been through is helpful to so many people who are struggling. Keep being you!!
Watched all the way through, as I do every year. Love your flip-through videos! 👍🏽👍🏽

This was fun. I saw so many of these PWMs, so it was great re-living as well as seeing some I didn't see.
Wow! I love this so much!! I wish I have this much time to do this! I love how you decorate it and how full it is! 😍
