Hello April! I can’t believe we are already four months into 2019! Time Flies no matter what! I am really enjoying journaling everyday. I still have to play catch up but I’m getting my stories down on paper. My process includes writing an event or story a day. In this video, I show you my process of how I set up my Cahier size Traveler’s Notebook for the Month. I use the Rebecca Hoot Everyday Journals and add a few different types of paper to make it a junk journal.
Thanks for watching! Rebecca
Hello! I have had LOTS of question on what and how I choose photos and what to document from week to week in my “Life at a Glance” Happy Planner. I thought the easiest way to show my process is to document a whole month. Some weeks are filled with activities and others not so much. So here is week one of March! Happy Memory Keeping!

Hello! I have a new planner! I have been given the privilege to receive and work in the Wordsworth Planner. One of my goals this year to is create a planner that will work for my business. I really like this planner’s set up and the size of this planner fits perfectly in my daily bag. In this video I show you how I plan to make it work for me, adding washi and stamps. I also give you a peek into how this planner is set up. What I really like the black and white set up, this gives me the opportunity to make it my own using LOTS of my colors! I’m ready to get organized and plan ahead in my creative business.
Another bonus to receiving this planner, they offer free ebooks to help maximize your productivity and happiness. YAY! I can’t wait to dive into the ebooks.
Wordsworth Planner comes in four different colors. I choose the Raspberry colored because PINK is my signature color. I love the feel of this planner, but I talk about it in this video.
Thanks for Wawatching! Rebecca
Don’t you just love vintage paper stationery? I love these ladies dressed in their long dresses, puffed sleeves and parasols. I have had these beauties for a while and recently found them again while I was unpacking, they were originally a set of boxed vintage cards. I think they will work perfectly for junk journals, and paper crafts. I wanted to share them as a free printable so you can enjoy them too!
Enjoy, Rebecca
Hello and Happy March! In this video I show you my process in creating the beginning “introduction” page for the month of March. This is the page that is at the beginning of each happy planner, I changed it up a bit to include “Right Now” information. Information such as what we are dreaming, making, pinning etc. I love adding this information at the beginning of each month, its fun to reflex on and see what were we doing and feeling!
Stay Tuned, I will be creating videos showing how I document the month of March! Thanks for Watching!

Oh I come to the Garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses and the voice I hear falling on my ear, the son of God discloses…this is one of my favorite hymns. I love mornings where all things are fresh and new. The birds are waking and chirping, the ground is moist from the night before. The idea of grapping a cup of coffee or tea and heading to the garden with my journal to spend time alone with your thoughts, prayers and God. I feel like a garden can be anywhere, it can be through the gates and into a field, or a special place in your backyard or even out on your apartment patio. It’s wherever your imagination takes you!
The art piece for this kit is called “Queen of Healing Hearts” She has been part of my collection for a while and people have told me she speaks to them. Many of these people are caregivers. This kit was so much fun to put together! Each item is carefully selected and assembled to match a perfect little kit just for you or to send to a dear friend to enjoy! A special side note, there are prints available of the art work to create this kit.
This kit sold out so quickly! Yay, for another fun month!

Hello! As part of my goal for 2019, I wanted to start journaling again every single day. I use to be so diligent about keeping up with my journal but life gets busy and then several days go by, then weeks and before you know it months. I wanted to fill these journals with stories while adding pictures and ephemera. Here is a flip through of my first completed journal. I can’t express how excited I am and glad I have made this commitment.
Yay! I was so excited when y’all requested a “plan with me” video to show my process for Memory keeping in my Happy Planner! Or as I call it Life at a Glance! I call I hope this helps you in your journey in documenting. Also, this has spiked my imagination and thought how fun it would be to show different artsy ways to create and save memories! So stayed tuned for more videos!
Thanks for watching! Rebecca
Hello 2019! I know we are currently in February but it takes me a while to gather, write and figure out a planner and journal system for 2019. I have summed it up in the following notebooks.
1) Vintage 1920’s diary for writing inspiration such a scriptures and quotes.
2) My Everyday Planner which is a personal size ring bound planner. This literally houses EVERYTHING! Appointments, ideas, notes, daily schedules. I carry this everywhere and I love to make it pretty and magical to look at! This means tassels, paperclips and pretty papers!
3) Traveler’s Notebook Journal~ This is also something I carry with me daily. You never know when you may have a chance to write! Mu goal this year is to write daily.
4) Happy Planner for Business~ This is a new planner in my current system. In the past I have kept my business planning in with my personal planner but I have new goals this year for my business and need a planner to keep me on task.
5) Happy Planner for Memory Keeping~ One of my favorite projects for family documentation. This is what I call a year at a glance.
6) Master Notebook~ This houses sketches, notes, brain dumps, ideas, plans, vacations, birthday parties…pretty much everything!
6) One Little Word SHINE Notebook~ This is my notebook to write, document and allow the word SHINE into the everyday. (I posted a video yesterday on this notebook for a closer look).
So that is my System for the year. I created a quick video where I talk about each as well! Thanks for watching!

I am so excited to be completed with the introduction to my One Little Word Journal. I use the prompts from Ali Edwards “One Little Word” class to guide me in setting the tone for the new year and what I plan to accomplish. This is one of my favorite projects. I start out with writing about the past year and setting goals for the new year. This includes my creative business, my family, my home and just different aspects of my life. I also incorporate my One Little Word into the goals I want to set for myself for the upcoming year. This process sometimes takes a while but it’s worth it because at the end of the year, I will go back and reference and look at where I have come or what didn’t quite work out the way I expected. In this video, I show you a flip through of my SHINE journal. I plan to use this for the monthly prompts and just when I need to journal about my word. I used a composition notebook and in the video you will see how I construct and plan to use it. Thanks for watching! Rebecca
