    Yep, totally agree on the stickers. As a new planner I went and bought an embarrassing amount of sticker books, I hate to even say the number....30.... blink...cause I just wanted them all, and they are all so pretty, but sometimes it does make me hesitate to plan because finding the sticker that I knew I saw somewhere that I want to use, and knowing that I would have to go through all those sticker books, is overwhelming, so I hesitate to plan. Good tip, tfs

    I have everything you listed & I'm a newbie! I absolutely enjoy SOOO much doing planning THIS as to my old boring way. It cost me a lot more money but it sure is fun & exciting. Plus with left overs, I make bookmarks or scrapbook embellishments. ❤ Love your channel & love watching your PWM's.

    I second the cute little planner puppy advice. A cat is a good alternative, just know that they will try to walk across your planner often. 😂
    For those about to get into washi: you can find packs with all of the seasons or holidays in them at the craft stores and then use one of the 50-60% off store coupons. You'll have a nice collection of washi to start with and you didn't spend very much.

    Hi Mary Ellen! I appreciate your advice to start slow! Being the compulsive personality that I am, I take the plunge, feet first, into everything I do! So of course I now have an abundance of supplies, some I use often and some - eh, maybe I'll use down the road! Having scrapbooked for years, I did have a lot of wonderful supplies already and I have journaled in books in which I actually had to create the format for myself. But it gave me the time to be creative and change and adjust to what worked for me and I found that I change my mind - a lot! Like month to month! Depends on what's going on in my life at the time. So I bought my first Happy Planner for 2020 - the classic Homebody - and I can't wait to get started! I especially like the disc bound flexibility and the ability to buy different filler papers and to add/subtract as the need demands. Thank you for all you do for us and for sharing your experiences as you go through them. Like I said before, experiencing your videos is like sitting down with a friend! Always enjoyable and very much anticipated! Blessings to you and your family this Thanksgiving!!

    LOVE BUMBLE!
    I stamp and if I’m completely honest the Happy planner stamps are rubbish! Lovely designs but bad material. If you’re going to try stamping you need decent stamps which make it so much easier! The sassy stamp club have tons that are incredible quality! Another awesome brand are Atelier Dreams, for smaller stamps and icons. I use these brands the most but I have a ton of others! Just wanted to say that - if you’re having trouble, try other stamps!

    Learned a lot from your videos. I found what supplies I really like during this new way of my planning journey. I been using happy planner for almost 3 yrs. I always been a planner but not with all these cool supplies. It was with a pen, a pencil and sticky notes. From there I brunched out to this hobby and I really enjoy it so much.

    New to planning, just bought a little, basic, budget, a6 binder and some inserts, it came with some dividers, coloured stickers and some plastic wallets....I'm sort of kind of setting up my own little system with it. Just really seem to be getting "overwhelmed" with having so much on my plate, and feeling like it's becoming harder to keep track of all that I have going on. I've already recorded my priorities for the week and month and already I feel "lighter". Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and tips, thank you.

  • @kenzielogic9405
    @kenzielogic9405 Před 4 lety

    Super informative video. I watched your one from last year and as hubby and I were shopping I kept saying "Bumble's mom said I nnnnnnneeeeeeded all this stuff" then I'd grin. He'd just exhale and shake his head, chuckling at me. I've even had him sit with me while I watched your vids on the tv and he was pretty fascinated. He was hesitant about getting his own, so I bought him a cheapie one from the grocery store and within the first month of having it and seeing how much it improves your life, he's hooked. I just ordered him a dashboard style while the Black Friday sales is going on. The only thing I noticed you didn't mention was if you're using Happy Planner, pick up a set or two of Expander Discs. Your planner is going to get thicker faster than you realize because of the stickers, any extra scrapbook paper or mementos you punch and add. I got mine at the end of September and by the first week of November I bought the biggest disc for my classic size. Anyway, excellent job on the video and yay for the guest appearance of Bumble!

    • @PlanningwithBumble
      @PlanningwithBumble  Před 4 lety

      Kenzie Logic yes, expander discs are pretty much necessary if you’re going to keep all the pages in your planner all year. I’m glad you got your hubby interested!

    Don't go crazy she says. 🤣 Too late!! Even my puppy is oversized (she's a Great Dane). She's also almost 10. The snoring in the background is my favorite sound. This is all great info! I started this craze in August. I'm already finding out that my needs change frequently as far as layouts are concerned. I'm not even close to where I started 4 short months ago. Adding a PPweeks as my portable planner for 2020 to my classic HP for home. Question - what do the colors signify on the HP sticker books and what is up with the hair ties folks use on them?

    • @SapphirasMama
      @SapphirasMama Před 3 lety

      I am not sure about the colours but I can tell you that they are not hair ties but an actually tie that goes around the sticker book to keep the pages closed and clean.

I have some new notebooks and a mini and id love to fill them up with doodles; lettering and "Bumble" approved happy planner things. my Jackabee Oliver loves watching your videos with me

    I grabbed Faith Warrior (1010 pc), Everyday Plans (1486 pc) and Color Blocks (650 pc). I am in Canada so it prob sounds expensive but with shipping/tax it is 50 so that was a good deal IMO. Now, to wait on shipping.
