I certainly understand the stress you are going through with the remodel. We had our kitchen redone a while back and the noise level was awful. I nearly had a nervous breakdown over it. The constant noise and constant people in and out and decisions I had to make was so very stressful. So continue to give yourself grace. I'll be praying for you! We'll still be here long after this is all over and you have a lovely space to work in! BTY I love the simplicity of this page!
Honestly, I’m just happy to hear your plan with me 😄😆 I didn’t even notice that you were with low energy, sorry… 🙈 All is good, there are days and there are days. C’est la vie! as the French so appropriately say l 😊
We "sound proofed" the basement by adding insulation to the ceiling. We also added solid core doors to the room so that the furnace and upstairs noise was quieter. Makes a big difference. I really enjoy your spreads and listening to your thought processes. You're a great inspiration.
Love this spread! You do an amazing job with your spreads! From one overthinker to another, you may enjoy Jon Acuff’s book, Soundtracks - it’s about overthinking. Thank you for all that you do for the planner community!
The blushin it stickerbook quickly became my favorite of the Spring release primarily because of the soft tones of pink and the neutrals which I don't have in my collection of mostly bright sticker books. Gorgeous spread!
I love that polka dot pen! Thanks for being so dedicated to filming even when you have an off day! You’re the best Mary Ellen! You can always take time for yourself, when you need to!
I so appreciate it when you say that you're feeling out of sorts. I've had some videos where I have felt that same thing! Never apologize for being you - you're awesome!
I must get that book now!!! It's really cute! So you might think this is funny, when I first heard about the crop -o- dile punch I thought everyone was calling it a crocodile punch and I was like hmmm why is it called that 🤣🤣🤣 I can't hear the noise of the egress window 😁! I must say I was super happy to find out what the noise was previously. I was going to ask but you already said it! Hope you can get another one 😉 oh ya I got your happy mail! I love that book and the lil Bumble sticker 🤗
Could you please use some blank pages from an old planner and put a layer of clear gesso on it and paint one page with water paints and the other with acrylic paint to see if the gesso would protect the page from bleeding through and curling . And any other type of paint like the water color pens that you think would be fun to try. Thank you
What a pretty spread! Seriously considering buying the Blushin' It book. And I appreciate that you share your feelings, good or bad. It makes your videos feel more like just hanging out with a friend who happens to make gorgeous planner spreads.
A cheaper way to get around the sound problem is with Rugs. (A Thicker area rug ) try to locate it above where your desk is. Also adding rugs in the room where you are working. Theres one other idea, that is adding (CEILING NOISE REDUCTION) Pieces to your craft room ceiling. I think they come in white, Home depot has them, Walmart used to, there not beautiful, but there not terrible either by any means but they WORK, there not expensive at all. Maybe try the rugs first. ❤
I don’t have that book but it’s really pretty, I love 💕 the spread and I have the zig dot pens and hadn’t thought of using them to make polka dots, the only thing is they do bleed through some.
I love this sticker book and I love all the pink, but I actually struggled using it for some reason. Probably because I was trying to stick to one theme (polk a dot, or just stripes). Have you also noticed, like I have, that since having COVID, things don't seem to feel the same either? Like energy level still isn't all there. I zone out way more than I ever used too as well.
This is so pretty! I use a dashboard as my planner as it works best for my work. Tasks on the left and meetings on the right. I run out of room on the week days so maybe should consider a big for 2023. I broke my elbow so have not been planning for 6 weeks 😥
This is a cute spread. You have been going through alot in recent months, you don't seem happy in your new home but I suspect thata because it's not finished so very hard to get settled properly. I hope everything settles down there for you very soon x
Lots of construction makes things tough! But also if I’m being completely honest I’m not happy in general…it is so hard to lose a child, and after also losing a spouse. I do have happy moments for sure, but the grief is always there. I am working through it but it’s very difficult. So it’s not where I’m living, it’s just where I am in my life. It’s pretty hard to put myself out there online while going through this. I’m trying my best though. ❤️
I know you are but don't force it, if you need rime off take it, we will all still be here for you. I can't even imagine how you are feeling and I think your doing amazing, I hope you get your house back and it's a relaxing space where you can heal very soon. Your doing amazing 💕
@@scrapplancreatewithtracey9714 thank you ❤️ This is a big part of my income though, so taking more time off really isn’t an option. And I actually really do enjoy making videos. It’s a nice distraction. I hope that people can accept what’s going on with me for now! 💕
Great video as usual. If the noise from the construction is too loud why not do the video in silence first and then go back later and do a narration of what you were doing? Voice over videos are just as effective as videos with real time audio. Problem solved.
I give you so much credit. Just be you….that’s why I’m here. I understand about feeling off. I hope you feel better soon.
Yes, please do more dashboard spreads!
Mary-Ellen, every time I watch your videos, I end up buying something! I love the look of these stickers. Your videos and honesty are brilliant!

Beautiful spread, as always. The noises aren’t bothersome or distracting.
You make me smile
You're so cute ! So real!!!
I've never heard you be sarcastic in a video before this and it is HILARIOUS and I love it.
I miss the old dog door noise too and I even miss your old intro theme even though I do like your new one! 🤣
I love how real you are!! I would love to plan with you, it would probably be hysterical, I talk to myself all the time!,🤣🤣
Honestly, I’m just happy to hear your plan with me 😄😆 I didn’t even notice that you were with low energy, sorry… 🙈

I’ll check it out, since I’m the world’s biggest overthinker
I should too 😁

It sounds fine, you are fine , stop worrying, everyone who follows you knows what you are going through. We support you.

I love this sticker book. I used it in my catch all this week and am loving it!
Love this spread!
All the noise of construction can be over stimulating - it leaves you feeling depleted! I can understand why you’re tired tonight.
I didn’t think the Patreon video was loud at all, glad you didn’t scrap it.

I got out of the habit of planning during 2020. I just ordered a classic dashboard planner to get back into planning. (It's my first Happy Planner. 😱)
I love this spread! The dot pen is cool. The poka dots really added to the spread.

I love the dot pen you used that is such an easy way to make polka dots. I have and love this sticker book mainly because of all the polka dots. ❤
I don’t have that book but it’s really pretty, I love 💕 the spread and I have the zig dot pens and hadn’t thought of using them to make polka dots, the only thing is they do bleed through some.
Well, your spread looks awesome today!!! Also--- it's ok to have an "off day". It really is!
This spread looks beautiful! 💖

Love this spread now I think I need this book as well 😀
You gotta use the “hair” stickers in a pet spread. Lmao.

Praying for speedy healing and recovery.
Very beautiful spread. You always inspire me and I always get inspiration every time I watch any of your videos. My birthday is Friday April 15th.
SO CUTE❣️
Cute!
I just got this sticker book,and I ❤ it!!!
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love this so much!!
Great video what was the name of the marker you used to make the dots?

@@jeniferdelatorre5296 thank you ❤️
If you have noise have you considered maybe a voice over? That way you can still film and not having to scrap videos.
Yes that’s a possibility
💛💛

The book looks really cute but I’m with you that sticker looks like hair so I’ll pass 😆
