I love that you are from Iowa! I grew up in Illinois just over Mississippi from Iowa. I have family who lives in Iowa. It's a wonderful place to raise kids. I know that you are a nurse. My little cousin is in Iowa City fighting Leukemia. It's been an over 3 year battle - she's 12 now, but this started when she was 9. Anyway, the thought that she may have nurses like you makes me feel more at ease with the level of care she's receiving. I hope that your back gets to feeling better - I understand how pain can make one Grumpy! I know that you are as kind and caring with your patients when you are hurting as when you are feeling good. Please allow yourself some Grace and be gentle with yourself. ❤
Love your channel. I think for me the thing I love most is how "messy" your art is. In a good way. I get really discouraged with RUclipsrs who have this beautiful, organized, CLEAN, perfect layout or journal because I am a messy artist, lol. I love the mess in art because it's beautiful. This gives me inspiration and I love your style because it's very close to mine. Not only that but nothing is "off limits" with your art style. And that's amazing. It's raw and real. Also, I love your stories and sense of humor 🤣
Crayola water colors work well. There's a reason that we loved those as kids LOL I love the crayola super tips. Colored pencils, stickers, rubber stamps and many different colored pens. Love your videos!
My first journal was an inexpensive but pretty hard backed lined book plus a pen. I had ZERO knowledge about stickers and washi and ephemera and and and 😂 But now…….. well, I’m a stationary addict as much as I love writing and arting 😊🌸🌸
I just love your stories! Your kids make me laugh and your description of hugging your parents made me cry! You bring such honesty to your channel. Oh yeah, I love the journal stuff, too! I hope your back feels better soon.
This was so true, not need to have expensive things to journaling, examble i havent much stickers on hobonichi but draw or magazines are my favorites. I like your videos:)
Yes, Chronic pain here, been getting worse, finally I’m getting surgery in April. Hoping it will help some. Praying for you to Emily, hope you are feeling better now! Your videos always cheer me up some! Love hearing about your days with your kids. Mad Lib, I remember those days! 🤣
So happy to see another video from you! I ventured out to my local Tuesday Morning store today, which I have never been to, because you have talked about it in the past. I found some awesome, awesome things for very reasonable prices for my journaling and planners! Thank you for clueing us clueless people in about great places for supplies and STICKERS!!! LOL gotta love the stickers!
Love this!! I was actually thinking about doing a $20-$25 challenge video, similar to this, how to start planning/journaling on the cheap! 🙌🏻 It's so nice to let people know that they can start inexpensively, like you said 😍 And your nails look AWESOME!!
And I had to chuckle when you said don't pay full price for anything at Michael's 😂 I literally said almost the exact same thing in my Plan W/Me this weekend talking about a washi set I got there a few months ago 😂😂😂 Great minds!! 💕
I like all the tips you gave to the newbies in the journaling world. I always love your pages & the stories you tell us. The drawing of you & your mom was so sweet. I haven't seen my grandma in over a year because of covid. I can't wait to see her & hug her again. Great journaling session as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
I'm in Canada (hi!) and went to Michael's today and bought that same floral washi! When I opened your video when I got home, I saw yours...great taste! They have so many pretty washis out now!
Yay!! Another Emilou vid!! I must admit I ugly-cried at your hug drawing. It was so beautiful!! Take advantage of that as often as you can now!!!! I wish I could do that too but not this side of heaven.
@@EmiLou.Arts320 thanks dear.. like you said earlier, the long winter is almost over & it is time to focus on the coming of spring!!! In more ways than one. Virtual hugs!!!
I got a cheap notebook and double glued the pages. Then I made my own paint and glue. The only thing I was not able to make is my stickers because I do not have a printer and Internet. I am still trying to find a way to make my own stickers though. Blessings to you, thank you so much for your video.
Yay! So happy to see you with a new video! You totally made me cry with the hug with your mom and dad. I really need to go see me dad soon. He just got his second shot last week. Henry is just so sweet, what a beautiful note to keep in your journal. Your babies love you so much. I hope your back starts to feel better soon. It’s a horrible pain to have and it can get you down at times. Tell Michael you need a good foot rub and back massage lol. Enjoy your weekend sweetie! ❤️🦋
I make my own water colours with felt tips all u do is soak the ends in a small jar of water overnight and then they r ready and when u use them they don’t feel chalky it’s great
I’ve been behind since last year in October. I was in the hospital several times between oct-Dec. so trying to get back in the groove. Composition books are cheaper at Walmart
I love this video 🌟🌟 I hope your back is feeling better soon.🌷🌷 I loved your explanation on all your doodles.🧡💜 My journalling never looks bright and fun like yours. What is a cookie cake? 🍪🍪
Thank you Lisa!! Cookie Cake!!!! Is only the best thing to ever happen to mankind! Picture a soft thick chocolate chip cookie the size of a pizza and then frosted like a cake. 🥳🤩🐽
That was fun, and Iooooooove your pages, as usual! But wait...... You read your magazines before cutting them up? 😲🤯😋LOL! I haven't been able to concentrate on magazine articles for years... I just see pictures and fun things to cut up and use in my collages 🤪😂🤭 I'm sorry you hurt your back... I hope you are feeling much better now! And I'm so glad your pee is majestically beautiful! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The note Henry wrote about you is sooooooooo sweet!! That boy is such a gem 💙💙💙💙 I'm so happy that you and your parents were finally able to hug again after so long. My mom still lives in France, where I'm from. I haven't seen/hugged her since July 2018, and I don't really know when I will get to visit her next. My heart aches just thinking about it. Aaaaaaaaaanyway!! Sorry my comment took such a solem turn!! LoL 🙄🤦♀️😉😊 Looking forward to your Picstitch tutorial.... Have a great weekend, Emily!! 🐛💖🌞🐾😻🌈🌼🌸🦋🐥
I actually have the paper pack that matches those floral washi rolls! I saw the washi at Michael’s this past weekend and nearly bought it. I think regular price they’re $12
You would have to tell me the level of smut your comfortable with. I have recommendations for every degree😂🤦♀️ I am feeling so young and hip wearing my bracelets we made😉❤️
Great reminders ;) yes I love working with a smaller set of supplies from my kitchen table sometimes ;) glad your pee is pretty 😂👏 but do hope you are feeling better! And yay for pizza and cookie cake and date night!!!💗🙌👏
I have a question about the pictures? Is there any reason why you can't utilize the app you're going to show us with our own personal printers instead of sending them to Walgreens??

“All you need is a pen and a cheap notebook. The rest is just fluff” so true. I must admit: I am addicted to the fluff 😆
Me too😉❤️
lol same
Lol, same 😂
I would have no problem spending $70 in the Girl Scout Shop!! That is truly the only thing I miss about Girl Scouts. Ha! I love that washi!
Great video, Emily. Love watching you on YT. Blessings.

You can always count on Crayola❤️
Fun helpful video. I'm very thankful that a pen pal and lady had worked for: been my personal craft supply store and gave me LOTS of creative stuff.
I like to keep my planner very basic but I do love this creative journal idea. Thank you, I am going to start a creative journal.
I hope you have fun Karen! It can be whatever you want it to be❤️
My first journal was an inexpensive but pretty hard backed lined book plus a pen. I had ZERO knowledge about stickers and washi and ephemera and and and 😂

Adore your journal!
haha my accountant wishes I only spent $100 on pens... "How?" Is all he says.
Love the spreads and the great ideas!
Lol, the life of a stationary lover...poor😆❤️
I am an accountant and if you were my client I wouldn’t say a thing😂
Yep! You do you. Good advice for journaling.
Thank you for sharing. I love this hobby
Thanks for watching Sheryl, I’m so glad you enjoy it!☺️

I’m so glad you got some good finds! Out Tuesday Morning closed and I’m so disappointed!😞
Ohh no! Ours has only been open a year or two. I always thought it was just a home goods store until you said you got sticker books there. Great finds

Oh Vikki, I’m sorry, I wish I could give you a hug. One day you’ll get that hug and it will be amazing❤️

I’m sorry to hear that Wanda, I hope you’re on the mend!
I hurt my back last spring, it was hell. It took so long to get better. Good to see you back 🌈 🦄

Have a great weekend, Emily!! 🐛💖🌞🐾😻🌈🌼🌸🦋🐥
I’m so sorry it’s been so long since seeing your mama, I hope you can make it soon😢❤️
I actually have the paper pack that matches those floral washi rolls! I saw the washi at Michael’s this past weekend and nearly bought it. I think regular price they’re $12
I didn’t know there was a paper pad that matches!!!😻😆
Oh I have the paper as well as the washi. 💗🌼🌸💮🏵🌺
@@EmiLou.Arts320 It is a small pad too. Perfect for our hobonichi's!
Ohhh!!! Thank you for telling me😀
@@melissabridge5687 yes I was going to say...I’m not sure if there is a large version. I also have a small one.
Hey Ems. Oh my gosh, that washi is sooo cute
You would have to tell me the level of smut your comfortable with. I have recommendations for every degree😂🤦♀️ I am feeling so young and hip wearing my bracelets we made😉❤️
@@EmiLou.Arts320 oh lady, don't you know me by now? Hehe gimme all you got 😉😇
Cookie cake ?? What is this divine sounding creation?
Nikki, Nikki, Nikki!🤯 Picture a giant, soft chocolate chip cookie the size of a pizza and then heavily frosted like a cake!😍🤩
@@EmiLou.Arts320 wowsers nothing like this in Australia .. it sounds fabulous
I think I'm a stickers addict too
Nothing wrong with that, I say😘
Great reminders ;) yes I love working with a smaller set of supplies from my kitchen table sometimes ;) glad your pee is pretty 😂👏 but do hope you are feeling better! And yay for pizza and cookie cake and date night!!!💗🙌👏
Thanks AJ!🥰 It was fun to pick a few things and really USE them!
Could you give the link on how to print small pictures in your journal you made?
I must have fluff!!!
Fluff is awfully fun, isn’t it😉❤️
Can I ask what pen this is?
The black pen is the pentel RSVP pen! I love it in the Hobonichi👍
I have a question about the pictures? Is there any reason why you can't utilize the app you're going to show us with our own personal printers instead of sending them to Walgreens??
No you should definitely be able to do that!👍
The rest may just be fluff, but let's be honest, we journal so we can buy pens and stickers 🤣🤣🤣.
Also, "Majestically Pristine Urine" BWAAAAAHHH HA HA!
It is kind of the best part😆😉
