Functional Plan With Me Before AND After the Pen! My Whole Process Start to Finish - Happy Planner

That was lovely thank you. Please do more. Also like that you mention the exact sticker books and pen colors you use. Thanks!

Very fun and informative to watch! GO EAGLES! (I'm in California BUT the EAGLES are my team!)

Enjoyed this

Thank you! Yes, please do more of these!! I’ve always wanted to see the actual thought process of picking sticker books that go together.

Just discovered your channel and 2024 will be my 2nd year with a happy planner and my first disc bound planner. I had a twin loop dashboard layout this year and loved it. I am excited to dive into more of your content and maybe take some restaurant ideas from you too 😉 My partner lives in Philly.

This was great. I like this longer video.

Such a cute spread!😊

I really like and appreciate this type of video…..from start to finish….before the pen, during and after the pen. ❤

I’d love to see more of these videos. I appreciate all the work that goes into it so a lot probably aren’t needed but a playlist of the different: size, formats, themes of planner and any special themes you personally use would be tremendously helpful and fun to watch. I learn so much from your channel all of the time. Thank you so much for sharing with us❤

you are back with Mike?!?! Yayyy so happy for you <3 <3 <3

Love the color combination... green ( 2nd) and orange (3rd) favorite colors. Fabulous spread 😉

This spread has inspired my spread for next week, thank you for sharing your process ♥. Transferring tasks to next week has been a lifesaving system for me - allowing myself to just dump thoughts onto the page and now worry whether I'll cross them off that week or not. I either transfer it to next week, or move it to my Running To Do half-sheet that stays at the start of next month to take things off of as I go. I'm finally finding planner peace!

More please!!!

This is a pretty spread. I enjoyed the video. Very helpful!!!!

Mike? Wedding? Did I miss an episode? Lol loved this video and your very talented!

Love the spread and would love to see more like these.

Please do more of these videos - so many great tips and ideas! Congrats on your re-engagement!!❤

Very helpful! I would love to see more like it! It turned out great!

I have learned so much from you over the years!! Thank you!

Thank you for doing this! I enjoy all of the videos, love new techniques, new products, enjoy how you plan and your finishing process. Thanks again!

I really enjoyed this video and would like to see more of the same. Thanks!

Sweet Lady, I've been meaning to tell you that I am so happy you are back on with Mike! I'm going thru some major life changes, so I haven't commented much lately
Still adore you and the fur babies. I would love it if Mike would do a planning video again with you. 😊

Love this!!!! I think it's interesting to see how other people think while planning

This was GREAT!! I LOVE your spreads and have tried (not so successfully) to adopt your style of planning. This video gives me more confidence that I can follow your lead while still making this style my own. PLEASE, more videos like this!! ❤

I LOVED this video!! Really helped a lot!!❤

Such a cute spread! I have been "planning" for almost two years now - and I feel like I have learned most of the basics from watching your videos. 🙂 I'm far from an expert but I do think this type of video is what really helped me, and I still usually pick up something new. I love watching your videos because of your creative designs.

Oh I love this so much! Orange and green are my 2 favorite colors and this is just YES!

Loved this video! I really enjoyed following along on the whole journey from the blank pages to the finished piece of art 😊 I also love hearing about what is going on in your life. I feel like we are all friends here 😊❤

Love this before and after the pen!!🧡

Love this spread. Really love hearing about you and Mike. You guys are like family, and I’m so happy for you. ❤️❤️

Thanks .

I am going to Go Wild this year as well. It’s my first time going I’m so excited!

Love when you share before & after the pen! But 1st thing I noticed was your ring 😍 (I have missed the last 2 weeks of your videos, I was on vacation & hectic work week back.) I decide to skip back 2 weeks so I could catch up & hope to hear you share & you did, ❤ Congratulations Mary Ellen & Mike! Very Happy for you💝 now back to catching up on what I've missed on beautiful planning! 🙂 Thanks for sharing🩷

This was a reeeeeeeally good video, Mary Ellen!!!! Love the process!!! I kind of do the same thing. I NEVER get all of my “to-do” stuff done during any given week so I look back and add them to the next week as well. I think we have a lot of similarities in style because I binge watched your videos when I started planning and your way stuck!!! In a super great way!!!

For some reason your currently pages are my favorite videos. But this kind is giving it a run for it’s money!

I absolutely love seeing this process and these videos. I miss this type of content! You are so creative and this is so helpful!

I had no idea that you and Mike had gotten back together. I must have missed something lol Congratulation's to you both! Thank you for sharing a long video with us.

I loved this video. More please. Don't worry about it being too long - after all there's a pause button if we don't have time to watch it in one go.

Very helpful. Thanks

I love your style of planning and especially naming the spread, animals or girls when you use them. ☺️ your style is very beautiful and simplistic. I have been struggling a bit because I have a very quiet life (I’m 54 and my son is grown and out the house) and often feel like I don’t have anything to “plan out”, but you give me great ideas. Thanks for sharing!!

I enjoy very much this type of video. I hope you do more. Thanks!

Love your process & this turned out so cute. I truly enjoyed these videos no matter how long they are. So happy that you & Mike are back together ❤❤❤

I love when you explain your process in planning. It does help and inspire me in my planning. I would love to see more of these videos. Have a great week. Hey miss Bumble!!❤

The cat wants to meet the cats on your page ! 😆 specially the one doing yoga! LOVED this vid!

I’m quite amused to have my name used for a tiger. Super cute spread!! 😊

I really loved seeing the process from start to finish, I'd love to see more of these if you can fit them in. Thank you for sharing! <3

Love, love! I’m new at this and I was finding it a challenge between making it pretty but more importantly functional. I didn’t know the thought process of organizing what your week looks like and then building “pretty” around it. I also liked the idea of leaving space for the memories that are made along the way. I would love to see more!

Loved this. It is so helpful.

One of my favorite videos you’ve done! Lol; I thought my Bailey had gone outside because I kept hearing a dog barking and he was sleeping right next to me,( it was Bumble!) Please invite the cat and Bumble to hang out anytime! 😂
