@lesedisarchive i have been so proud to handle the grief of losing my mother. As well as getting an internship within my first year of university, doing something i love (video editing)
I really like the simplicity of this design! I think it can be easily replicated regardless of what medium you use - I think I'll attempt with markers instead. I'm proud of actually finishing a lot of the art projects I've started this year! @rozy.royale
Hii, I'm proud of myself for learning to live in a new city all by myself, starting uni and doing well in one of the hardest majors ie architecture!! @dazzling_snuggle03
@shwetstagram I'm proud of prioritizing my health last year and having clarity on my priorities this year - starting bujo has really helped! The journal I have appears to have thin paper so most markers are leaking through. Would love a better one!
I'm proud of myself for actually completed a FULL year of bullet journalling, with help! My 3rd year using a ARL journal, but 1st year I made myself and my journaling enough of a priority that I colored every page, kept track of my habits every month and made notes about a look back at my week every week, and I LOVE how a little artistic time to myself keeps me organized and gives me zen, while also creating a keepsake I can look back through someday
Thank you for embracing imperfection! The Internet needs more of this... Too many people share only the perfectly curated parts of their life without showing the messy completely humans and normal side of it. 💕
I love how playful amanda is with the colours,This spread is really bright and looks so eimple yet beautiful,I am proud of me me trying to draw all of Amanda's spreads since 2021!!!! Lots of love ,Amanda ❤
I am shifting toward using my journal more for actually Journaling rather than a planner. I had some rough patches this year and am looking to help my self love improve and be more mindful of my mental health. 😊
Love this! I'm proud that I'm finally feeling comfortable in my job and have set boundaries so that I don't get burnt out :) wishing you great things for 2024!
i think one thing i’m proud of this year is the fact that i managed to successfully do a summer programme completely on my own in korea this year from june-july ! it may not seem like much to most people but to me it was a huge risk considering i have a physical disability with a rare bone disease which makes me a full time wc user and have lived my whole life with people telling me what i can and cant do, kind of isolating me from the world not letting me do anything, so for me to simply not listen to anyone and just pack up and leave completely on my own to study in a whole different country and navigate the city all on my own and do my daily tasks on my own to the best of my abilities is such a huge step? i spent hours and hours researching into every little detail about the country creating absurd scenarios in my head like if this bad thing happens what shoudl i do to solve it when im all alone , all the documents that i need, figuring out how travel works etc etc. all that research really paid off because i had the best month of my entire life! ofcourse it was terrifying at first because ive never been alone in a country ive always lived in let alone a whole other country and im also only 19 and i really really hate change especially subtle change i struggle with it alot.. but i did it ! im the kind of person who likes consistency and everything to be perfect and usually i dont like to take risks let alone a big one. i really dont know how i did this and how i managed to memorise essential phrases and vocab in such short amount of time and how i just went through the month and all the preparation but im really proud of myself. 8 year old me used to dream of having a dorm experience and having independence but always thought it was never possible but i made that possible? thats so crazy 😭 im really proud of myself for a bunch of other changes ive been through and it’s so difficult for me to even say that im proud and it took everything in me not to type synonyms of the word ‘proud’ because i really struggle with complimenting myself and acknowledging my achievements but im doing it now so i guess thats another thing to be proud of 😭 (ig: illy_not_lilly)
silly little extra note: i love your videos so much!! i think ive been keeping up with your videos /content for aroudn 7 years?? im more of a silent watcher / enjoyer where i just subscribe + watch i dont really comment as much (altho im trying to change that up.. 2024 resolution? ) but its so fun watching you grow + seeing the beginning of ur shop to where it is now its crazy to think that i started watching you in the very beginning of secondary school (middle school i think) and now im a 2nd year uni student i think that’s so insane but i love your videos so much 🤍
Just starting new journal and struggling with perfection, thank you for this new and unique perspective of journaling ( by the thank you to inspire me to start my own way of journaling and it's been 5 years and you still inspire me)
i stopped bullet journaling last year but am getting back into it for 2024. watching your new plan with me’s have been super inspiring and i really resonate with your message about having a good relationship with art. thank you amanda ☺️
I loved the importance of spreading the message about making mistakes because i think its definitely something i need to work on as an artist as well, will you be doing a 2023 flip through of your bullet journal?
this year I'm proud of myself for overcoming my mental health issues and finally being able to go back to work 🎉 thank you for doing these giveaways and being a constant inspiration to us all! 💖
i really like the idea of writing a sentence a day as part of the mood tracker! when looking back i can usually infer where the mood came from by looking at the day's events and tasks, but i can't always tell if a bad mood came from something specific happening or from me feeling ill, for example, so a sentence or even just a word for each day is something that i think i will incorporate into my tracker next year!
Hi Amanda! Love the setup of January. About this year, it went well, though we had to face a bit of health problems(my whole family), but,things are getting back to normal and what Im proud about this year is that I completed this year doing SELF STUDY which is the biggest thing for me. Bye!
I'm proud of myself for caring more for my mental health and actually making progress. I was struggling with depression for multiple years and this year I finally stop taking medication. I'm feeling so good and happy😊 P.S. Love this theme and your new mindset Amanda
I’m planning to get into planning and be more creative starting 2024 and you are definitely my first inspiration ❤ not really sure what I’m proud of this year so hopefully I could achieve something in 2024 🙏🏻
LOVEEEE! i'm really proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone more. although i didn't make a big jump, i can see how far I've come, and I'm looking forward to how far me and my bujo can go together ❤
I always love watching your pwm videos! Goal is to start doing my own next year 😊 I'm proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone and finally travelling overseas (and solo) after making excuses/prioritising work for over 10 years! Also putting myself first and leaving relationships that werent healthy for me ❤
I've been trying to journal for YEARS. Last year I finally bought a notebook and even made a few spreads but then forgot about it. It's time to try again, I hope I'll make it for at least a couple months lol
Hi, big fan from India 🇮🇳!! I am proud of myself, because after watching your spreads for so many years, this year I'll be starting my own journal, and this year's motto of letting yourself make mistakes is really helping me......I am so grateful to you Amanda!!! Hope you have a really good year❤❤
I'm really excited too for the Monday start of this year.. but I can't set-up my bullet journal now as I have exams on first week of January.. hopefully I'll set-up my new bullet journal in second week of January.
Proud of learning how to live independently this year (finding an apartment, groceries, becoming financially responsible). And going back to drawing and painting in my journal instead of buying tons and tons of stationery. Doodling along to your videos is really relaxing, thank you for the past few years! Happy holidays
girlll it looks SO SO SO PRETTY like really pretty I'm kinda biased cause I love all of your spreads but that one looked so pretty and simple and colourful really so cute.
happy new year amanda! i'm using your pre-made bujo for 2024 as i will have a busy year, but i was gifted the cutest handmade leather bound journal for christmas that is going to be the perfect canvas to explore gouache!
Your spreads are amazing and i😊 like you using water paints and your old style is regenerating from where u followed your channel and watched you for first time
I love this spread! So fun and cheerful and looks so easy to add new pages in within the month if you needed to (Makes me want to start up a journal again)
Love this, and loving your quote of 'trust the process', it's what I'm trying to do with my knitting and crocheting patterns, one of the est pieces of advice I was ever given. Love from Ireland
i'm proud on just making it through this year tbh!! i really struggled the last 6 months and my mental health plummeted lol so i'm just proud to get through this year and start into the next year!! also i'm so obsessed with the theme for jan it's so cute and bright i think i might have to recreate this for my bujo!
I just started my first full-time job last week so next year will be quite the change 🥺 I hope to travel to a new country now that I'm able to choose my off days 🥰 So excited to start on my new doodle planner next week 😍
hey amanda!! i've been watching your videos for a while and GIRL. they motivate me more than anything!!! thanks soooo mcuh! also- can we get the productive days vlog back?? sending lots of love ♥
love seeing the bright colors and a theme that is just vibes rather than drawing something specific! some months are just low maintenance and call for that
Hi Amanda For a video idea, you could review all of your stationary and suggest which are the best and your favourites. Thanks for your content I love it.❤❤❤❤
Hi Amanda! Your videos are always so inspiring and something to look forward to. Thanks for always being you! One thing I'm proud of myself for is that I got my first job this year. Which was a reality check for sure. 😅 I think the whole idea of letting go of perfection and having fun ties to this too for me. Can't always get everything right and that's ok. ❤️✒️📓
Oh I love headspace! I think it’s so very expensive but I’ve had a subscription with them for like 4 years. I started using the app at my therapist’s recommendation to help me work through depression and anxiety and it really does help.
Such a funky set up! Love the bright colours! Also a big fan of the Fredbert start of year spread. So perfect for a leap year. Have been enjoying the phone wallpaper from December too. And look forward to new ones. Also trying to start new goals early so as to not give up in Jan. Happy New Year!
Hi Amanda, I love all the variety of creative styles you're able to come up with! I'm looking through a lot of your videos looking to see if you’ve ever designed pages for recipes. I’ll keep looking, but thought I’d also ask. Also, how long does it take to receive the journal if we order from you. Thanks! I’m really enjoying your style, skills and product suggestions. 😊
One thing im proud of this year is definitely doing more art! Also joined in on a couple of drawing challenges the peachtober challenge and sweetautumndays and made art that i really liked! Also some that ii didn't but that's part of the process!!
@heykassi here to say I’m proud of my consistency. Through drawings I don’t like, words that are written not the same, and even tough workouts. Showing up for myself has made me the most proud. love to see how colorful and free this setup is and can’t wait to finish mine!
january looks so fun! since you mentioned you’ll be using your journal as more of a diary/sketchbook, will you be doing real time journal w me’s and sketch w me’s?
I really really want to start bullet journaling in 2024!! But I’m a perfectionist and that has 100% stopped me in the past!! Hopefully I can start thinking more like you ❤ (I wrote out my times for my Xmas dinner 4 times because it wasn’t perfect 🤦♀️)
I don't think I could love this theme anymore! I am proud of myself for keeping my little business going for another year and making enough to survive! Thanks for the inspo!
I love this theme Amanda! It’s so fun. Thank you for the new mood tracker inspo via your original inspo: I’ve always skipped mood trackers but I may try this spread! 💗
I love the bright and bold colors, that immediately reminded of this book cover "Maame" that I'm currently reading. Beautiful fun set up. Do read the book if you haven't already. BTW love your 2024 bullet journal in Sap green. I'm enjoying journaling this year having to prep minimally.
Literally obsesssssed!!!! Love the January color scheme sooo much!! Your videos are seriously the therapy to all my problems. Wish I could buy the 2024 doodle planner but I'm a broke high schooler 😭😭. At this point, the planners a NEED not a WANT!!!!!!!!
I looove your shirt! It kinda goes with your theme haha. And I recently watched a favorite art supplies video from another creator and she also mentioned the Winsor & Newton gouache set.
Snaps for leaning into the imperfections Kween! Our time is so limited and our creative time should alleviate stress not contribute to it! Love the mindset going into the new year💛💛
Hey Amanda Lots of Love from Bangalore, India We are waiting for a flip through of 2023 Bullet Journal Will there be a flip through this year ?❤️ Love your spreads, It’s so therapeutic to watch you draw and get into the creative space !😅
I love the spread and your video give me joy but also headspace when this video came out I will reach day 188 of using the app the longest I’ve ever committed to somthing
