hi friends! i worked so hard on this video, so i hope you enjoyed it! I wanted to try to make this year's bullet journal setup video a bit more fun and creative! ❤ as usual, thank you so much for watching and supporting me :) happy new year lil doodles!
Happy new year This was sooooo nice thank you for years and year of bullet Journaling and not only that but thank you for being my comfort during the pandemic and for introducing me to bujo and bts and helping me fall in love with stationery all over again😊
This theme is so so cute. My mom, who I lost to cancer this year, was a huge quilter, so this is doubly meaningful to me. I liked that you spoke about adjusting expectations and accepting your changing relationship to journaling. This will be my 8th year bullet journaling (and following you) and my second year of not starting a new journal or doing any yearly spreads at the beginning of the year. I am just continuing on in my current journal, which has plenty of space. It used to be a huge production every December to get my new journal set up. I’ve taken all that pressure off and it’s been so good for my journaling. And is this the first we’re hearing about a boyfriend? Congratulations!
Dear Amanda, Thanks for always being such an inspiration! Been watching your videos years ago and you were the reason I started a RUclips channel on bullet journaling! Thanks for reigniting my passion for art and teaching to do things that I love! Wishing you a lovely 2025 ahead! With love, Loo Teng! 💗✨
You just read my mind girlie pop 😭😭 I decided this afternoon that I wanna get back to bullet journaling, but 2 hours ago I couldnt find anything from you and now look! I'm so excited to journal again with you again after a 4 year break!❤
Long time watcher here and I've kind of had a bujo break for the past 2 years because (similarly to Amanda) i don't really have the need for a planner like I did when I was studying at uni.... I'm starting work and really wanted to get back to something creative and now I'm watching this video after not seeing one for so long and I'm so inspired I realize I really missed bullet journalling but also watching your videos Amanda! You're so creative and I'm happy I still get to enjoy your work and art while going through all these different phases in my life (quarter life crisis is real, I turned 27 this year and feel like the past 5 years flew by without me doing really anything) and it's honestly nice to see that someone else my age made it through similar things and managed to accomplish their goals and grow into themselves...for the first time in years I am actually excited for the coming year and the changes in my life and I'm excited to plan my journal and have something that lets me look back at this year from my life 🥹🥹🥹🥹 sry for this long comment but this video sort of opened my eyes a bit haha ❤️ edit: Damn why is the comments section full of people going through the exact same thing 🥹❤️🥲 quarter life crisis really IS real huh glad we all embrace the messed up half journals of the past year and do what feels right
i have been watching you for at least 6 years (i think i’ve been here for 8 but that was a long time ago lol) and you are such a big inspiration to me. i have adhd and planners really help me but i always have such a hard time keeping up with them because they feel so strict with what to do and whenever im feeling in a slump i come watch your videos. im so glad you have kept with this theme over the years, with keeping your chatting and explaining in the video, it always feels so personal! i’ve grown a lot as a person in the years you’ve been making your videos and your transparency and care for the community has always really helped when i was also struggling. i really wanted to tell you (it’s a goal of mine to tell those who have helped me more), i hope you appreciate yourself more in the new year as well! you have always really impacted my journey, love you! 💐✨💗
It's so fun to see how you've evolved over the years! When I watched your videos years ago, you inspired me to do my own thing. I've done monthly themes, but oftentimes, I merely glue in daily quotes, motivational messages, quotes, and photos. However, since I've done one writing journal a month for 8 years now, I've dedicated nearly all my art to my art journals. But now, after watching this one, you've inspired me to start decorating my daily pages again. You have got an amazing gift! Congrats with your new ventures!!
I went back to bullet journaling this year, too, but not for calendars or anything as I've gone digital for that and no frills. But i wanted something just for me. Memories , fun stuff, traveling, books movies wishes etc anything that makes me happy. I've been putting myself last, and now im trying to make myself a priority again. So anything that makes me smile in it goes. No rhyme or reason, just going with it.
i’m literally obsessed with this 🙂↕️ this is sooo stunning amanda!! (the editing, the spreads, the cinematography, everything) 🫶 i hope you have an amazing year in your journal and in your personal life 💕
It’s my first time bullet journaling this year I brought your cherry bullet journal, I’ve been watching you since 2020, you are one of my favourite RUclipsrs I can’t wait to fill in and complete my bulletin journal alongside you this year. 💕💕💕
i haven't done any bullet journalling since i graduated from high school since uni has been taking all my time but i'm trying to get back to it this year with less pressure to make it complicated and these simple things you're doing are SO CUTE and less time consuming than other years which makes me extremely glad bc it means i will be able to do this again in 2025
My goal for the coming year is just to really be myself and not having to be someone else just because of the people I’m around, and just taking things slow . Love ur videosss ❤ love you Amanda!!!
For Christmas I got my first bullet journal and just recently came across your RUclips channel and am so excited to use your 2021 and 2025 bullet journal setup!! I’m aiming for more blue tones instead of all pastel colors but your ideas have really helped! I can’t wait until it’s done!
I love the reiteration that it doesn't have to be perfect - I feel like most of us fall into the trap of wanting it to be perfect and then getting annoyed/disheartened if it isn't, so I really like how one of the main points of this theme is that it is imperfect! 🥰 I have followed you since 2020 (on my private account) and you have inspired me to create my own bullet journaling RUclips - especially since you are editing your videos again now and you're seemingly enjoying it So I guess: thank you! 🥰
Hey, new subscriber here! and honestly coming from the first video I js watched from this channel, I have really been inspired by what you do from the get-go. For a while now, I've wanted to do journaling so badly, but I kept putting it aside. Today was the day I got my journal (and in a few days I'll be getting my supplies). However, all the stuff I have been searching about journaling has been so tedious and detailed - but the advice you give and ideas you have gives me so much motivation for what I can implement too. I'm doing this for the sake of my exam journey and my feelings (I'm just 16, so I will probably feel my life in its peak in the future) and it's been one hell of a journey so far. This year is the year I take my exams. To be honest, I am so stressed - I still have a lot of time before that to improve my grades even more, and I believe that committing to journaling even in itself will be a turning point in my life and will really help me keep me in schedule to the point where I can see myself improving not only with my emotions and stress levels, but with my grades. (and I think Amanda has just given me the best opportunity to make me a better person - I can feel it!) (also she lowkey gives off Laufey vibes) So thank you, Amanda! I'll keep watching your videos and commenting from time to time. Please keep up what you're doing - you're helping so many people like me without even realising it.
I started watching your videos in like 2021? maybe 2020, and I watched them a lot you and a couple other journaling youtubers introduced me and inspired to journal and I even got my mom to buy me everything for it but only journaled once and that was it lol, clicking on one of your videos again after a few years is so comforting and I do wanna hop back into it forreal this time!!🤣 I feel like it would be a very big help with my mental health and for me to organize me and my thoughts in general 🥹🥰❤️I pray your doing well AND 2025 WILL BE A GREAT YEAR FOR USSSSS AMEN! 🙏🏽
The time capsule spreads is so great ! I started putting Polaroids in my bujo after seeing you do this a few years ago but this version is even better !!
I loved journaling but switched to a digital planner, because I have not had the time to draw much and without it being pretty the digital one just made more sense for me, but watching this video really brought up all the feels and now I wish I would have taken the time for bullet journaling in the last years like I did before. Thank you for this video, it was really good listening to it and watch you create something so simple yet pretty and meaninful all at once. Very inspiring! Maybe I will start journaling again this year, not for planning though, really more for the fun of sketching/drawing and the memories and photos
the cinematography was spot on! and i love your journal so so much, definitely using this as inspo next year! this was so comforting and is inspiring me to start my journaling again! may all my love come your way, amanda! 💗🩰🎀🥞
back in 2019 when i was 12 i started a bullet journal because of your channel, long story short it ended after april, but i still look back on that experience as a creatively expansive and warm time. now 6 years later i have just graduated highschool and im now 18, and watching this video reminds me of that time and how much i have grown since then. so thankyou for this ever evolving yet constant series amanda! 💐💐💐
Loved this video. The style, the layout, your freedom in deciding that you can set more realistic expectations for yourself it’s all great! Also your hair is so pretty ❤
This is such a beautifully made video! I’ve rewatched it like 5x already! 😅 Amanda, you’re so creative and inspiring! This theme is so adorable! Also how you nonchalantly added “met my boyfriend” in there like it was no big deal. 😂 Omg!? Congratulations, I’m so happy for you girl!
lmao i'm so glad i'm not the only one who lowkey glues together the front page to the first bullet page in a bullet journal, it's literally such a weird page to try to do anything on LOL. i absolutely loved using your Teddy Dotted Notebook and it looks like we'll be switching places for the next few months because i've started in the Denim Dotted Notebook hahah. i looove the quilt pattern vibe, it's really giving we're made up of the different people and experiences we've met and lived through! i feel you on the low pressure vibe, the longer i do bullet journaling, the more pressure i've felt with my illustration skills and consistency. but at the end of the day, it's all about having fun and remembering the purpose of bullet journaling and for me, it's memory keeping and experimenting/practicing my traditional art skills since my full-time job is being a graphic designer lol. sending you so much love this year Amanda, for both you and your personal endeavors and with ShopARL!
loveeeedd this setup!!! i'll definitely be using this theme for february and incorporating some of these spreads for the next year. Your journal has evolved so much these pasts years, i'm glad u've found a way to keep using ur bullet journal on a daily basis, even if it's in a different way PS: YOU GOT A BOYFRIEND???? girl congrats i hope he makes u happy
Hi AmandaRachLee This is my first year doing a bullet journal and I have severe ADHD. I am ordering a couple of bullet journals. One is for my personal goals and to finish what I started. This is the best video that I’ve see. So far. I’m so new to bullet journaling. I’m not an artist or doodler but I am going to spend a few days ordering a bullet journal amd excited. Thank you ❤
it's been a while since i've been able to catch one of your videos (i missed them 😭), and oh my god.. amanda.. the quality has gotten insane (positive)
it’s so pretty 🥹 wishing the best for 2025 for you amanda! i hope you can find more moments where you’re healing, at peace and have a warm and welcoming mind space. 🩷
I just got back to bullet journaling and instantly cknew who to look for, you are a reference! The video was amazing and as I'm back, it's always amazing to see how everyone just grows and shines, really. Amazing ♥ May we all have an amazing 2025 ✨
I have been doing the time capsule spreads since 2020 and you are really going to love it and thank yourself later for it. I call mine my "currently..." spread and I love looking back at them. Your videos are so good, they are relaxing but also so inspiring! 💕💕💕
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO AMANDA! holy moly the cinematography???? absolute slay the house boots down houston i’m deceased (also what mini printer do you use?)
This was such a sweet video! I've been bullet journaling for couple years now but kind of lost my passion for it in 2024. But seeing this spread and hearing you say what you said, it just sparked something in me again! I also just got a polaroid camera for Christmas so will look at incorporating pictures similarly what you did for the yearly time capsule page! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Amanda, keep doodling :)
Wohooo it's that time of the year!!!😌💓 I've been journaling since 7 years and I've learnt a lot throughout my journey and now I'm more into creating memories and writing own my emotions through prompts etc. and I'm loving it! Love your videos amanda this is going to be the 6th year watching your videos love from India!💖
I think this is my favourite set up in a looong time! It's soo cute and beautiful and has so much sense in accordance to what you said. Love it Amanda.
Good stuff. Great ideas, I use my notebooks similar to your new system where it’s mostly collections that are referenced. Todo are in my pocket notebooks and phone now. Allows the bullet journal to be more creative and last an entire year. Makes the investment with the extras worthwhile.
I’ve been watching your bujo videos for so many years and have recently ventured into junk journaling! Can’t wait to see how you incorporate more of this scrapbook style into your new journal!
I've watched you since 2019, and it's so incredible to see you and your company grow! This video was lovely. I enjoyed the more memory keeping type spreads alot and will be adopting a few ❤
Awe! I love it ❤ Been watching since 2019 & you are a HUGE reason I bujo in thr 1st place😊 Love seeing your growth & love to support you! Happy New Year! And to you too, lil Doodles🎉
I started journaling years ago when I was in high school and uni and stopped journaling when I started grad school two years ago because life became so busy. Now that I've graduated grad school and am about to start my career, I was contemplating starting journaling again because I felt like it would be a good creative outlet and help me organize my life better with all these life transitions. Watching this video really inspired me start journaling again in the new year. I'm really hoping to take up journaling again in the new year and im making it a goal to stay consistent and utilize journaling as a way to navigate entering into a new career and adjusting to moving to a new city and acclimating to all the life transitions I'll be encountering in the new year :) I'm also hoping to use journaling as a means of reflecting on my experiences and scrapbooking memories and I'm so so excited ! I also just wanted to say that the cinematography in this video is INSANE !! wishing you the a wonderful 2025 and thank you for always inspiring us :)) -2miae001
This was such a cute theme, also a really amazing video. We all end up putting a lot of unrealistic expectations in the beginning of the year. With me we generally have our final exams at the beginning of the year so obviously after the beginning of the year journal entry I would end up abandoning the journal for like three months, and when i would return to it i would feel so bad for those initial empty months, but that is how life is and one shouldn't judge oneself for that
I love the quilt theme! Being mainly a knitter I will try to add some squares with a stitch pattern. Thanks, Amanda, you have been my inspiration for years❤
This video feels like you had so much fun making it. It feels hopeful and curious and patient. Loved the set up and loved your self reflections. ❣️❣️❣️
What a wonderful and thoughtful video! Thank you, Amanda, for continuing to make videos and doodling. I have been subscribed for years and it is such a joy to see you and your business grow. I get a lot of inspiration from watching your videos. Keep doodling! 😍💝💖
Loved the editing of this video! I think this will be my 2025 quote "Sometimes the unplanned parts are my favorite parts" just love it and it is sooo true! I completely agree. The unplanned and unexpected are the things that bring us the most joy. I am just like you. I need to reflect on this year before I start writing out my new year’s goals, but I am looking forward to the unplanned parts of 2025 😊. But if I had to mention one goal at this moment it would be to organize my digital files. We store so much digitally that we sometimes forget what we have. So, I am setting myself to get that done this year. May 2025 be all the best for you Amanda, personally and as a business woman. Hope you achieve the majority of your goals and enjoy the unplanned parts of the year! Happy 2025 🎉 - Korita05
I love your theme this year and I have taken a similar approach, with the same thought process. Less pressure this year, less to do’s/goals and I’m just going with the flow :)
It's been a while since i've been here because i don't bullet journal anymore but omg i love the editing so much! And she got a boyfriend now? So happy for you 💖
Hi! wishing happy new year! Goals this year include: start volunteering, time block for arts & crafts (I really miss it!), play tennis, save money, and do well in school. I also want to focus more time on being there for friends and family. overall feeling good about the new year and excited for what's to come :)
Loving this journals style , the music, the vibe in this video and no need to always post I'd rather watch a well done video with new things rather than repetitive videos just to make content ❤😊
The design is so cute and beautiful ❤✨😍 I had no inspiration of what to do 3 hours ago and you gave me the motivation to make SOMETHING ❤😊😊 I'm new to your channel, and I absolutely love it!! Keep going!! ❤😊😊
What a great idea! I would have never thought of patchwork but it looks amazing. I wish you a very happy new year and a lot of success with all your projects from France.
The quilting theme brings back many memories of the quilts my mom put together when I was growing up. Thank you for something so nostalgic! On another note, where did you get your alphabet stamp set? I have looked around at stationery stores in my area but I keep being told that they’re not popular anymore so the sets are no longer stocked. I looked on your store too but didn’t see them there either. Unless I overlooked them?
Great video! I am very excited for the coming year: I get to use my brand new doodle journal ! My Bestie has also wanted to get into journaling, so I got her one of your doodle journals for Christmas. We are spending New Year’s + weekend together to get our journals started. After that, our plan is to connect with each other at 9 pm each night to journal, then she’ll be able to get in bed by 9:30 pm. (I aim for 10:30 pm.) We are both really looking forward to this new year and new journal journey. Thanks Amanda for giving us some tools to do it. ❤️🌹
This video was presented sooo good! I love this idea and plan. I hate writing never journal or bullet journal but this truly wanted me to journal. I love all the ideas and the creativity!
Oh my globs !! My two fave Canadian girlies (Tara and you!) found love 🥹 so happy for the both of you, I’m buying my digital planner tonight and I might also start a junk journal 🙂↕️🫶🏼
cute journal and nice patterns that are inspiring, which make a nice overall effect to the journal, like you said it looks similar to a patterned blanket, I like it, you did a good, neat job of it! but what exactly is a time capsule I am not sure? in general, I liked your cute journal and please do more videos of your new 2025 journal, I would like to see more content on it. 🥰🥰
Hi Amanda!!! You inspire me🩷 also I want this blanket. You should actually sell the blanket (for picnic for example) with these colours and different square patterns and an inspirational quote with letters like in this spread!!!! I am totally pumped!!!
#9 is a lucky one for me, so makes sense to take it easy and let luck lead you. Hope it does! And makes sense right before you're 10th year of bullet journaling. That will be momentous, one way or another
I'm very happy to know u from the start and get inspired by you and I'm very greatful so thank you so much for being yourself and sharing your ideas and keep on GOINGG💐!! (I still remember when u liked my sister's IG post and my sis went crazy 🤣💐)
I've been racking my brain trying to think of how to put my own year in pictures into my journal and was getting nowhere. I LOVE how you did this!! totally going to have to try it.
hi friends! i worked so hard on this video, so i hope you enjoyed it! I wanted to try to make this year's bullet journal setup video a bit more fun and creative! ❤ as usual, thank you so much for watching and supporting me :) happy new year lil doodles!
Happy new year
This was sooooo nice thank you for years and year of bullet Journaling and not only that but thank you for being my comfort during the pandemic and for introducing me to bujo and bts and helping me fall in love with stationery all over again😊
Same to you too Amanda!
Happy new year Amanda , I am a huge fan of you ❤❤❤🎉
But you said that you werent sticking to a theme this year and you made everything patch-work themed (no offense i luv ur content btw)
2025 gives an energy that can be summed up in two songs by fred again.. called "places to be" and "stayinit" tbh..
THE CINEMATOGRAPHY. *chef's kiss*
Came to say exactly this! I love it!
thank you! ❤
This theme is so so cute. My mom, who I lost to cancer this year, was a huge quilter, so this is doubly meaningful to me.
I liked that you spoke about adjusting expectations and accepting your changing relationship to journaling. This will be my 8th year bullet journaling (and following you) and my second year of not starting a new journal or doing any yearly spreads at the beginning of the year. I am just continuing on in my current journal, which has plenty of space. It used to be a huge production every December to get my new journal set up. I’ve taken all that pressure off and it’s been so good for my journaling.
And is this the first we’re hearing about a boyfriend? Congratulations!
I’m sorry to hear about your mom
may she be at peace with all the other angels in heaven, i am wishing you strength 🤍🕊️
Dear Amanda,
Thanks for always being such an inspiration! Been watching your videos years ago and you were the reason I started a RUclips channel on bullet journaling! Thanks for reigniting my passion for art and teaching to do things that I love! Wishing you a lovely 2025 ahead!

i absolutely loved using your Teddy Dotted Notebook and it looks like we'll be switching places for the next few months because i've started in the Denim Dotted Notebook hahah. i looove the quilt pattern vibe, it's really giving we're made up of the different people and experiences we've met and lived through! i feel you on the low pressure vibe, the longer i do bullet journaling, the more pressure i've felt with my illustration skills and consistency. but at the end of the day, it's all about having fun and remembering the purpose of bullet journaling and for me, it's memory keeping and experimenting/practicing my traditional art skills since my full-time job is being a graphic designer lol.
sending you so much love this year Amanda, for both you and your personal endeavors and with ShopARL!
loveeeedd this setup!!! i'll definitely be using this theme for february and incorporating some of these spreads for the next year. Your journal has evolved so much these pasts years, i'm glad u've found a way to keep using ur bullet journal on a daily basis, even if it's in a different way
PS: YOU GOT A BOYFRIEND???? girl congrats i hope he makes u happy
i love how you film your videos lately, it's so much more fun!!
The time capsule design is so beautiful! I also love the cutout, since I imagine it'll make it easier to flip to it each month.
Hi AmandaRachLee
This is my first year doing a bullet journal and I have severe ADHD. I am ordering a couple of bullet journals. One is for my personal goals and to finish what I started. This is the best video that I’ve see. So far. I’m so new to bullet journaling. I’m not an artist or doodler but I am going to spend a few days ordering a bullet journal amd excited. Thank you ❤
it's been a while since i've been able to catch one of your videos (i missed them 😭), and oh my god.. amanda.. the quality has gotten insane (positive)
it’s so pretty 🥹 wishing the best for 2025 for you amanda! i hope you can find more moments where you’re healing, at peace and have a warm and welcoming mind space. 🩷
I just got back to bullet journaling and instantly cknew who to look for, you are a reference! The video was amazing and as I'm back, it's always amazing to see how everyone just grows and shines, really. Amazing ♥
May we all have an amazing 2025 ✨
I just love watching your set up videos every year and every year they just keep getting better. They’re what I look forward to most
I’ve been watching your bujo videos since the first one, it’s a kind of tradition and you just get better and better! Greetings from Brasil 💚
I have been doing the time capsule spreads since 2020 and you are really going to love it and thank yourself later for it. I call mine my "currently..." spread and I love looking back at them. Your videos are so good, they are relaxing but also so inspiring! 💕💕💕
amanda knew i was planning to do this today and that i was procrastinating so she posted to save the day, thank you queen
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO AMANDA! holy moly the cinematography???? absolute slay the house boots down houston i’m deceased
(also what mini printer do you use?)
this one is the instax mini link :)
This was such a sweet video! I've been bullet journaling for couple years now but kind of lost my passion for it in 2024. But seeing this spread and hearing you say what you said, it just sparked something in me again! I also just got a polaroid camera for Christmas so will look at incorporating pictures similarly what you did for the yearly time capsule page! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Amanda, keep doodling :)
Wohooo it's that time of the year!!!😌💓 I've been journaling since 7 years and I've learnt a lot throughout my journey and now I'm more into creating memories and writing own my emotions through prompts etc. and I'm loving it!
Love your videos amanda this is going to be the 6th year watching your videos love from India!💖
it's been so exciting seeing your journey with art throughout this year! cheers to 2025 💗
I think this is my favourite set up in a looong time! It's soo cute and beautiful and has so much sense in accordance to what you said. Love it Amanda.
I follow you from 4 years and I barely comment but I want to thank you cause you always inspired me in so many ways. Regards from Mexico City.
Good stuff. Great ideas, I use my notebooks similar to your new system where it’s mostly collections that are referenced.
Todo are in my pocket notebooks and phone now. Allows the bullet journal to be more creative and last an entire year. Makes the investment with the extras worthwhile.
I’ve been watching your bujo videos for so many years and have recently ventured into junk journaling! Can’t wait to see how you incorporate more of this scrapbook style into your new journal!
I've watched you since 2019, and it's so incredible to see you and your company grow! This video was lovely. I enjoyed the more memory keeping type spreads alot and will be adopting a few ❤
Awe! I love it ❤
Been watching since 2019 & you are a HUGE reason I bujo in thr 1st place😊
Love seeing your growth & love to support you! Happy New Year!
And to you too, lil Doodles🎉
i've been following you since 2018!! always amazed with your creativity for journal ideas!!
Beautiful bujo as always! But also love to hear the growth of looking forward to the unexpected 🥹 happy for you 😊
Absolutely love the evolution of you and your journal throughout the years! 😍😍excited for everything coming for you and shopARL
I started journaling years ago when I was in high school and uni and stopped journaling when I started grad school two years ago because life became so busy. Now that I've graduated grad school and am about to start my career, I was contemplating starting journaling again because I felt like it would be a good creative outlet and help me organize my life better with all these life transitions. Watching this video really inspired me start journaling again in the new year. I'm really hoping to take up journaling again in the new year and im making it a goal to stay consistent and utilize journaling as a way to navigate entering into a new career and adjusting to moving to a new city and acclimating to all the life transitions I'll be encountering in the new year :) I'm also hoping to use journaling as a means of reflecting on my experiences and scrapbooking memories and I'm so so excited ! I also just wanted to say that the cinematography in this video is INSANE !! wishing you the a wonderful 2025 and thank you for always inspiring us :))

This was such a cute theme, also a really amazing video. We all end up putting a lot of unrealistic expectations in the beginning of the year.
With me we generally have our final exams at the beginning of the year so obviously after the beginning of the year journal entry I would end up abandoning the journal for like three months, and when i would return to it i would feel so bad for those initial empty months, but that is how life is and one shouldn't judge oneself for that
I love the quilt theme! Being mainly a knitter I will try to add some squares with a stitch pattern. Thanks, Amanda, you have been my inspiration for years❤
I'm so happy for you! Especially for the segment at the end. I'm thinking 2025 is going to be about enjoying smaller moments for me.
This video feels like you had so much fun making it. It feels hopeful and curious and patient. Loved the set up and loved your self reflections. ❣️❣️❣️
that was awesome! I hope you inspire those who are struggling with their journal, you've definitely inspired me 💚🙏
What a wonderful and thoughtful video! Thank you, Amanda, for continuing to make videos and doodling. I have been subscribed for years and it is such a joy to see you and your business grow. I get a lot of inspiration from watching your videos. Keep doodling! 😍💝💖
I had been looking out of your 2025 setup for a few weeks now. And I gotta say, Amanda you don’t disappoint. It look amazing, thanks ❤
Loved the editing of this video! I think this will be my 2025 quote "Sometimes the unplanned parts are my favorite parts" just love it and it is sooo true! I completely agree. The unplanned and unexpected are the things that bring us the most joy.
I am just like you. I need to reflect on this year before I start writing out my new year’s goals, but I am looking forward to the unplanned parts of 2025 😊. But if I had to mention one goal at this moment it would be to organize my digital files. We store so much digitally that we sometimes forget what we have. So, I am setting myself to get that done this year.
May 2025 be all the best for you Amanda, personally and as a business woman. Hope you achieve the majority of your goals and enjoy the unplanned parts of the year! Happy 2025 🎉

Omg I haven’t educated an ARL video in so long… this is such a comfort
I love your theme this year and I have taken a similar approach, with the same thought process. Less pressure this year, less to do’s/goals and I’m just going with the flow :)
It's been a while since i've been here because i don't bullet journal anymore but omg i love the editing so much!
And she got a boyfriend now? So happy for you 💖
Hi! wishing happy new year!
Goals this year include: start volunteering, time block for arts & crafts (I really miss it!), play tennis, save money, and do well in school. I also want to focus more time on being there for friends and family.
overall feeling good about the new year and excited for what's to come :)
Loving this journals style , the music, the vibe in this video and no need to always post I'd rather watch a well done video with new things rather than repetitive videos just to make content ❤😊
i just started watching the first few seconds of the video and smth about it gives off lara jean from all the boys i've loved before
The design is so cute and beautiful ❤✨😍 I had no inspiration of what to do 3 hours ago and you gave me the motivation to make SOMETHING ❤😊😊 I'm new to your channel, and I absolutely love it!! Keep going!! ❤😊😊
What a great idea! I would have never thought of patchwork but it looks amazing.
I wish you a very happy new year and a lot of success with all your projects from France.
The quilting theme brings back many memories of the quilts my mom put together when I was growing up. Thank you for something so nostalgic!
On another note, where did you get your alphabet stamp set? I have looked around at stationery stores in my area but I keep being told that they’re not popular anymore so the sets are no longer stocked.
I looked on your store too but didn’t see them there either. Unless I overlooked them?
Exceptional Amanda ❤, my 8th year of bujo and since so long have been following and enjoying your videos. Thanks for creating such wonderful content
Omg its so beautiful… i have started a crafting journal for 2025 and this is so beautiful - thank you for your real videos and getting me journalling
Great video! I am very excited for the coming year: I get to use my brand new doodle journal ! My Bestie has also wanted to get into journaling, so I got her one of your doodle journals for Christmas. We are spending New Year’s + weekend together to get our journals started. After that, our plan is to connect with each other at 9 pm each night to journal, then she’ll be able to get in bed by 9:30 pm. (I aim for 10:30 pm.) We are both really looking forward to this new year and new journal journey. Thanks Amanda for giving us some tools to do it. ❤️🌹
Wow the quality of the video and the edit is incredible✨💖 amazing work , congrats Amanda ✨🤍 so proud of you🩷
This video was presented sooo good! I love this idea and plan. I hate writing never journal or bullet journal but this truly wanted me to journal. I love all the ideas and the creativity!
Loved the spread, the cinematography, the music on the background, everything is so well put together!
Such beautiful wird’s in that letter, wish you all the best for 2025 🥲
Oh my globs !! My two fave Canadian girlies (Tara and you!) found love 🥹 so happy for the both of you, I’m buying my digital planner tonight and I might also start a junk journal 🙂↕️🫶🏼
I love these types of videos they inspire me :)😊
cute journal and nice patterns that are inspiring, which make a nice overall effect to the journal, like you said it looks similar to a patterned blanket, I like it, you did a good, neat job of it! but what exactly is a time capsule I am not sure? in general, I liked your cute journal and please do more videos of your new 2025 journal, I would like to see more content on it. 🥰🥰
Can we take a moment to appreciate the video editing and style 😩😩
Love the video and love the simple planning for the new year! Wishing you every success and then some, you so deserve it!
Hi Amanda!!! You inspire me🩷 also I want this blanket. You should actually sell the blanket (for picnic for example) with these colours and different square patterns and an inspirational quote with letters like in this spread!!!! I am totally pumped!!!
Loving it, well done
Your idea for creating a time capsule is brilliant! Even though I don't bullet journal, I do find your videos very entertaining to watch :-)
#9 is a lucky one for me, so makes sense to take it easy and let luck lead you. Hope it does! And makes sense right before you're 10th year of bullet journaling. That will be momentous, one way or another
Love this theme and this video! Looking forward to your content in 2025. Thank you so much for creating this community!
Best wishes to you and yours for the new year, Amanda!
I think this is the cutest setup I’ve ever seen. I love it! So happy I found your channel 😊
The time capsule is so beautiful ❤
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THSI SET UP!!! The cover page with your picture and letter to your future self are so cute 💕
It's so beautiful. You should be super proud.

I'm very happy to know u from the start and get inspired by you and I'm very greatful so thank you so much for being yourself and sharing your ideas and keep on GOINGG💐!!
(I still remember when u liked my sister's IG post and my sis went crazy 🤣💐)
absolutely obsessed!! We need this in a coloring planner!!!!
Brava❤ Love your creativity, mindset and work ethic.
Very inspiring!
I have never been this early to a video. Claiming this energy for the new year.
I've been racking my brain trying to think of how to put my own year in pictures into my journal and was getting nowhere. I LOVE how you did this!! totally going to have to try it.
