I just ADORE your pages and your voice -- everything is so lovely. 2025 will be my first year with a 5-year techo. I have the Cousin (my channel is mostly about my cousin) and I keep memory keeping in the weeklies (I think it's memory keeping anyway -- I call it my "have dones"). Your video and flipthrough has made my ideas for my 5-year techo all the more calm and relaxed and "wrap this up and breathe." I'm excited for it. Subscribed! Thank you!
@@sherbidabbles I'm so happy to read this! Your Cousin looks so fun and colorful, I hope you'll share what you do in your 5-year when you start as well.
This video is so underrated!! This could apply to journaling in general with all of the great ideas you gave. I can't wait to implement this in my daily journaling. ❤
This is so cute! Im not an illustrator, but I want to learn to draw more and so I think I will try to do this, not everyday, but as much as possible! Doodling is hard for me (I learned drawing in architecture school, and didnt have many chances to learn freehand sketching and more flowy doodles, before I changed majors)
I love all the illustrations you’ve done and the colour palates too! I’ve just finished year 1 in my five year journal too and feel very inspired. Thank you!
This is perfect timing for me to see this! I’ve just ordered my first 5-yr book for my retirement starting next year and have been wondering how to best use it on a daily basis. I’m so inspired now, thank you!
I'm so happy to read this! I hope your 5 year book will bring you as much joy as it does me. I'm on the second year now and it's so much fun to read about last year.
I knew of 5 year journals before but never thought about using them for art journaling! Yours definitely already is a treasure trove of memories and a joy to look at. I looked at the original Hobonichi journals online and they really are so expensive! I can´t justify paying that so I found a cheaper alternative. A 5 year journal for "a few lines a day" by Leuchtturm with 5 blank spaces on each page. Fingers crossed that it arrives fast and is of good quality to last the full 5 years. I really want to try this as mindfulness exercise and remembering more of the good stuff. Involving art will make it so much more playful I am sure!
Fantastic idea! I like Leuchtturm books too, I'm sure it'll be lovely. If it arrives a little late, it'll probably do to write a line or 2 about each day in a notebook for now. I do that when I'm sick 😊
WOW! This is amazing! I am about to start a 5 year journal and I’m deciding which brand to go with. I like the Hobanichi so I can add extras. I am also starting a reading journal where a person writes down everything they read in a day. I know you are busy but you can do this too and include movies or tv shows you like as well. Some good RUclips videos about these as well. I look forward to watching more of your content.
Thank you! Have you chosen your journal yet? I debated getting a Leuchtturm myself. I keep my reading notes in my Hobonichi too, but in very short form- not a ton of space in there!
I made a five year journal out of a regular blank book. I had only been writing in it, but after seeing what you've done, I'm going to be adding some of these ideas to it. It will be so much more fun to look through in the future with this sort of thing instead of just writing.
I'm so happy to read this! The whole reason I made this video is that I was looking for inspiration for my own and only found a single video. Happy journaling!
Giving a follow! You're giving me a good source of ideas and in a similar style that i liked in my first hobonochi. For paint washes with text, do you write first or put the paint down first? Curious how your text doesn't bleed.
@@jenthejenius I'm glad you liked this! I usually add paint first, but I haven't had much trouble doing it the other way around either. Micron, UniPin and Gasenfude pens are all fine to paint over. One of my pages did buckle a LOT from painting a second layer, so be careful of that!
This was so fun to watch! I love your illustrations. Your 5-year is so creative!
That's so nice to read, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this.

@@PamelaRubel I think you'll love it! I found that I got so many more ideas once I was used to doing these (almost) daily sketches.
I love all the illustrations you’ve done and the colour palates too! I’ve just finished year 1 in my five year journal too and feel very inspired. Thank you!
Thank you too! Isn't it the best feeling seeing last year's entries every day? I'm having so much fun with it.

@@marcies_art Yes! I will totally do that. It is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. So they will not be much to catch up on I hope.

I looooooove your video.lots of pretty good ideas and tricks. Also you draw so beautifully ❤❤❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
I love this!
@@poetspicecolorwrite thank you! Getting close to the end of year 2 now 😄
Thank you for sharing! I love your illustration for 02/05 (3:27) it reminds me of Bonhilda from The Sims! :)
Thank you! I love that you caught that because I did get the idea from The Sims :)
Beautiful
Glad you like it!
❤love it
@@burcusimayozden5662 thank you! ❤️
Your 5 year looks amazing. I've been a bit hesitant to add drawings in mine but you've inspired me to experiment more!
Thank you, and I'm glad! I get so much out of that little bit of creativity every day, I hope you will too.
