Hi folks! Sorry about my absence last week – I’m not even sure what happened and why I had no time to post. I feel like this time of the year is when I start feeling sluggish. The cold is hitting us hard here! It’s about the time of the month where I share my November BUJO layout with you! It’s not that much different from the other months but I like to share my artwork and the small bits of detail with you, so here we go!
The Front End of Things
I am actually a bit embarrassed about the cover of my November BUJO because I actually did this one at a later time than when I made my September and October ones. I ran out of steam when it came time to do this bit and I had to step away from it several times because I didn’t feel inspired. At some point, I knew I needed to get it done and I just kind of scribbled on it with markers.
My turkey also looks so weird – feel free to tell me so. I did include my friend Katie’s vinyl art sticker on the cover, which I really like!! It may be random but … eh. I already screwed up some parts of the journal haha!
My November calendar view looks about the same, with the November graphic being the only thing that’s different. I was pretty happy with how it came out. I also bought some stuff from Katnipp Illustrations and the packages came with her cute washi tape so I just stole it from those and transferred it here! My cousin is visiting the United States with her husband for the first time from the Philippines at the end of this month as well so I’m quite excited to see her. I haven’t seen her in years … maybe since I was 6?

More Detailed View
My detailed view looks a bit more filled compared to the other months (I really tried filling it so it doesn’t always look like I do nothing). This month is honestly busier than my other months because of Thanksgiving and Black Friday! With my business research, I realized I have a few things I need to be on the lookout for during Black Friday, as I may be able to get them cheaper at that time. Most of my Black Friday wish-list is pertaining to my upcoming shop, with some things already crossed out because I already got them! I’ll be making a separate post on that so stay tuned!
I even put in a section for generating blog post ideas!! Are you proud of me? Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be able to do all of these because I already missed a week, haha. I’m secretly hoping I’ll have an awesome Thanksgiving / Black Friday story to share with you guys on the blog, but we’ll see!
I really did wake up at midnight to sign up for classes
On the next page, I made a completely different random theme – candy. I think I thought of candy just because Halloween was over? Another page came out a success!
New Stickers
Can you spot some new stickers in this month’s layout?!
The cute pumpkin stickers came from the Etsy seller I mentioned earlier, Katnipp Illustrations, created by Catherine Kay, a lovely artist and Graphic Designer from the UK. She’s one of my biggest inspirations because she had a somewhat similar past that I can relate to now, and I admire her for being able to be her own boss and create her full-time business that she has now from the ground up. She is an absolutely lovely person and therefore I’m more than happy to support her. Also … how can you not want to buy all her stuff when they’re so freaking adorable?!
The little cat stickers are from the sticker pack I bought in my previous trip to Kinokuniya and had mentioned in my earlier post. They are soo cute, and I have a ton more to use. Yay!
Using stickers and/or washi tape for your BUJO is seriously amazing. It’s like another form of white-out, which is what I needed in one instance while creating my spread! I totally thought November ended on a Sunday so I wrote out the spread until Sunday. I only realized later that I’m just crazy, and I had ruined my spread. Thank God my adorable shiba inu stickers are here to save the day. LOL.
Here are some more of the little art graphics / positive affirmations I wrote for this month!
That’s all for this post, I hope you enjoyed going through my November BUJO Layout post!
Until next time ♡

Every time I see a pretty bujo spread like this, I wish I had the time and talent to do one myself! Honestly, your turkey is adorable, and I could only wish to have those drawing skills. Aw, how fun that you get to see your cousin after so long!! I hope you have the best time. Ahhh, I remember those days of setting my alarm at 11:55 p.m. to ensure I could register for my classes as soon as it hit midnight. Now that I’m at a CSU, I’m given a specific time. This year, it was during the evening. That gave me more anxiety than my previous method haha.
I love your November layout! Oooh the sticker wit hthe face and flowers looks pretty cool. I like the hybrid look. OMGGGG tHOSEEEE SHIBA STICKERS!!! Ok, I still haven’t bought stickers but had an etsy cart full of them a bit ago TT_TT. I like that you keep it simple with the calendar. I love the calligraphy by the way! Hope you’ll have fun with your cousin! I like your wishlist for Black Friday! You can’t go wrong with cat stickers, hehe. Thanks for sharing! Have a great month!

Love this BUJO layout and your illustrations 🤩 And your handwriting is stunning! I’ve felt really sluggish lately too – I think it is the cold weather! Those stickers are so cute x

All of the stickers you used look so cute! That’s such a cool idea to devote a section to blog post ideas, even if you don’t get to use all of them. I’ve been thinking of what type of planner to use next year; making my own journal like this seems like it would be kind of cool, but I feel like I would mess it up so bad lol.
I can’t believe you’re embarrassed about the title page! It looks so good!! You should see mine, they look so boring and basic. I just ordered my new BUJO for next year and I can’t wait to start laying my pages out. x

I used to have a bujo but I’ve been way too busy to keep up with it and I miss it, so this post has really made me want to start a new one! Yours is so cute and functional, I love it.
I love seeing your bujo layouts for the month. All the stickers you used are so cute. I remember waking up early to sign up for classes. My first year of college and ended up with late classes and weekend classes. I hope the month is going well for you so far. Thanks for sharing.
aw your november design is so fun. i really like how clean and precise your calendar view looks and the detailed view looks so organized. seeing a buo filled in always feels so magical for whatever reason.
i am loving the new stickers and the candy design that you added this month. a Blog planning section sounds amazing!! i’ll need to add something similar to my bujo.
Can’t wait to see what you have in store for your online shop. hope you get everything you need on black friday. I’m hoping that i can score some discounted backdrops for photo taking!!
