I am not able to buy all the new sticker books right now, so finding the older books that may be cheaper can work for me to use to do my pages. Thanks so much Tracy for your gratitude for Mary Ellen using the older sticker books, then they can be found. So cool. Arlene 😊
I love your monthly spread! They never seem to be as cohesive as weekly spreads, but that's what makes them special and unique. Love all the animals, flowers and butterflies. It makes me smile, and that's what's important.😊
I always love your spreads. They're all so creative. I feel the same way about the monthly spreads. Midway, I want to start over, but keep going, and then I end up liking them. Monthly's are stressful and I think because of the little spaces. I'm also the one who has a hard time covering up the numbers. Anyway, I enjoyed watching your video as always. ❤ Thanks for sharing your creativity.
I have sciatica and back pain too. I have been resting my left leg over the bathtub while sitting in my bathroom to stretch the sciatic up to the back muscle and down to the knee, through to the ankle. Hurts like crazy 😝, but I go really slowly with small periods of gently stretching the tight muscles. This helps me. Spread is so Beautiful!!!! Arlene
I had chronic back pain and sciatic pain. I had 15 cold laser treatments last January-March and haven't had any pain since. I'm sure there is someone in your area that can help you. Beautiful spread. I'll be sure to celebrate National pet day.🎉😊
Mary Ellen, I love your video's ❤ I live in the Netherlands and here you can't buy any Happy planner stuff in stores.....So it's not a wellknown hobby here. I used to be a bullet yournaler but i think the Happy planner gives me less stress when i don't have much time or inspiration. I love your thoughtproces, it really helped me to learn this hobby....and i also love the chatter about your life. I live with 3 ADHD people in one house so it's very familiar en funny to here you talk and decide. Keep it up ❤ Hug Jelena
I honestly thought when you said sometimes it’s in a bag under the desk that you were going to say, “so hold one moment I’ll be right back.”😂. That is something I would totally do, but completely understand about the back pain. Hope you feel better soon. 🤗
An idea 💡 to think about since you aren't a big fan of making monthly spreads: you could do a spread-exchange! Pick a random patreon patron, and they can make a monthly spread for you while you make a weekly spread for them. You both send it to each other via mail when completed. You can feature making their spread and your completed monthly spread in a video. That way, your monthly is done, but you didn't have to make it!! 😊
I know you don’t like these videos but I sure do! I think you had a great method here, starting with the boxes/function. Classic size monthly’s are my favorite!
I literally laughed out loud when you named the animals. They are perfect for them!!! I love Slick haha this spread is great even though you felt you struggled. I get it though, it’s cuz monthly’s are so hard to put together with all the boxes and plans we have to put
Stress & tension will definitely cause back pain. OmG you poor girl, you are sounding so forced to do this spread, but i do appreciate you taking the time and effort. If its any consultation your videos are really enjoyable. I truly hope you enjoy the warm weather down south. Today in Nova Scotia, we have a good 8 inches of snow with high winds and more of it tomorrow. Remember, it could always be worse, chin up and keep on keeping on....hugs
Hi Mary Ellen, you do such a great job thinking through the monthly pages and I absolutely love ❤️ to watch you figure out your layout. And I hate to make you stress out, I don’t want to do that really. If possible, would you be willing to make another cute spread using these same sticker books? And the currently page, do you match it with the monthly spread too. Trying to make multiple pages with the same books. Your whining is totally understandable 😢, you’re the creator of these beautiful 😂 layouts, and I know “I couldn’t do what you do so well”. Please know how much you help us be able to copy your master pieces in our planners! Thanks for all 😊you do create and teach us to do the same!! You can name this one Shiloh and friends, LOL 😅Have a great week, Arlene
I don't dread the monthly. I love starting a new month. I've given up on monthlies being super cute. I need them to be functional especially as I get into the warmer months. I teach macrame workshops and sell at art markets/ festivals. It gets busy and I need that page to be a solid glace view of said craziness. -- But I too adore doing currently pages. Maybe my favorite lol
I like how not balanced the monthlies are. I like an at-a-glance of where the major events of the month are and if there is a lot clustered in one area, I like that represented because it makes it easier to see how time/energy is dispersed around the monthly. Gorgeous spread as always.
Recently I haven’t even been decorating my monthlies. I use it for planning social media for work. I color code but it’s totally functional and I don’t bother with the decoration. 🤷🏻♀️ I do decorate the monthlies in my journal though! I use them for gratitude and I also mostly decorate the borders and undated boxes though I do try to throw a few box stickers and other small momentos or icons throughout the middle. But, I always love watching you decorate yours, Mary Ellen. They turn out beautiful every time!
My daughter and I really wanted to go to Go Wild this year, with it being in our state and all. But…. She is having a BABY which is better and WILDER than ANY event we could ever attend! Actually, BOTH my girls are having babies, about a month apart!
I love watching you do your monthly spread! My schedule has slowed down and I now only use my monthly and fill it with everything! Watching you use lots of stickers and colors is so much fun! My high school/college grandchildren walk through my door and immediately grab my planner. I often mention things they are participating in which delights them. I began using The Happy Planner at the beginning so they have a lot to look at! I hate that you dred them because I love watching you! Thanks for doing it even though it's not enjoyable for you!
Thanks for using an older sticker book! I have got so many sticker books! Don’t need any more for awhile. Nice to see someone using the older ones

I love the bottom of the spread. I like when you changed the left corner made everything come together ❤️

Your monthly spreads are very creative & so much fun!! I enjoy watching them!!
I follow a couple other planners but I get most excited to watch yours. You keep it real and so genuine❤
A lovely spread, Mary Ellen!
Those Animals are adorable... The Essential Seasons is very pretty. Hugs❤

Hi 👋🏾, thanks for linking the sticker books, so grateful. ☺️ Really loved 🥰 your craft room too 😊! Arlene
I love this. The colors are quite wonderful.

Interesting! I'll look into that

Can you do more monthly flip throughs of your spreads? I love seeing these, def one of my favourites :) ❤
I usually just decorate around the edges and the empty boxes that aren’t dated and I put boxes for my appointments and holidays in the middle.
I honestly thought when you said sometimes it’s in a bag under the desk that you were going to say, “so hold one moment I’ll be right back.”😂. That is something I would totally do, but completely understand about the back pain. Hope you feel better soon. 🤗
Yes it’s adorable. Loving it!
So precious!
Adorable 😊
I love this spread!!!
I love these colors great choice!! 🎉

Our bunny was named Marshmallow!! He passed away last year but was amazing with my kids.
I would like to see your pen collection and organization
Stress & tension will definitely cause back pain.

Thanks for using the big sticker book I have a GM Louis Vuitton planner so I’m trying to keep up.
I LOVE your tax day box!!! I’ve definitely gotta try that.
So cute!
Cute.. you can never go wrong with cute animals on a page.
Omg taxes we literally just paid $5500 we own business
I usually just decorate around the edges and the empty boxes that aren’t dated and I put boxes for my appointments and holidays in the middle.
Very cute spread! It’s ok to whine…but, next time bring cheese and crackers. 😉
Such a lovely spread! 😍
My condolences about your son. 😔
