Hey guys! How are you doing? I hope you're doing really well. Today I'd like to talk
to you about a book. A book I purchased a couple of years ago, I think two years
ago. And I am ready to start using it. It's a create book. So, I don't know if
you guys... most of you will probably know the 'wreck this journal' series of books
or the 'create this book' by made by youtuber Moriah Elizabeth. This is
something like it, but it's a different one [laughs] and I haven't actually seen people
talk about this one. Well, I'm sure someone's talking about it, but I haven't
seen any videos about this. So yeah, it's called 'this is me' and it's
an art journal workbook. And it's very, very colorful as you might be able to
see. And it has all these fun challenges in it that you're supposed to do and be
creative. It's a write book, a draw book, you can
stick things in it,... You can do whatever you want with it, because it's your book.
So if you're creative this is something fun to do, because it's challenging.
Because the things that are in it are not so common. It's not something you
would usually create around. There's a fly in here, so if you see my eyes
going like this [laughs].. I don't know how the fly got in here, but... yeah, I probably left a
window open or something. But... What was I saying? Fly, you distracted me! [laughs] Yeah, anyway:
Whether you're a creative person or not, this is something for everyone. It's just
fun to do and I thought I would show you before I start working in it now that
it's still blank. Because once I start putting things in it, you won't be able
to see what it was like. So yeah, I hope you find this interesting and I will
talk to you through the entire book, because it is in Dutch and I know most
of you won't be able to understand what it says! [laughs] Okay, after doing some more
research I discovered what's going on. And the book does exist in English, but
it has a different title. It's called 'art, doodle, love', which I'm
very confused about, because the title for the Dutch book [laughs] is also in English.
It's called 'this is me', so I don't know... If they wanted to make it a different
title in Dutch, then why not choose a Dutch title? Yeah, I don't know. But so [laughs] if
you're looking for the book: in English it's called 'art, doodle, love' and I will
link the book in the description box below if you're interested in purchasing
it. So this is what the cover looks like and this is exactly what I was drawn to
at the book store. I was just looking at other things and then I saw this and I
was immediately intrigued. Because - as you know - I love all things colorful. So if I
see something like that I'm like: 'Ooh! What's that?' [laughs] So I had to have it right away. And
this is the back, also very pretty. It has some instructions on it and it says it's
a write, draw and scrapbook. The first page isn't very special. Then the second
and the third page just says: 'a diary - or journal - means 'yes indeed'. And then the
title 'this is me'. This is just where you're supposed to put your name and you
can already add some drawings or stickers or whatever you want to. This is
just the contents, the contents table of the entire book, what's in it. Then we
have the intro, what this book is all about. And then the next page is more
intro, so [laughs] I'm not gonna read all that on camera. This is just some of the
materials you could use if you want to. But of course you can use whatever you
want. It doesn't matter, you're the boss! More of the materials you could
potentially use, that would be useful. And even more of the things you could do
This is where you write what you would like to achieve by doing this book, what
the meaning is for you. Find your own style, this is just doodling. Warming up,
so you can sort of get it in your fingers and get used to writing and
drawing in this book. 'Scrible anything at all onto these pages'. Here
you're supposed to draw what you see in these ink blobs and I really like this
page, because - although they could have made the ink blobs a little more
interesting - [laughs]. But I do really like it, because I'm the type of person who
constantly sees figures in ceilings and floors and things like that. Just like
most people do with clouds, but I kind of have it with pretty much anything. [laughs] So I
think that's a good one for me! 'Flower power.' Oh, you're supposed to turn
these shapes into all sorts of flowers. Here you're supposed to make a doodle or
drawing in every box for the entire week. 'Get inspired by your surroundings. Draw
the shapes you see around you on these pages and fill them in with stipples,
circles, stripes and other shapes'. On this double page they ask you to draw plants
and flowers - and maybe trees - [laughs]. Just nature basically. 'Go with the flow. Try to
draw without thinking. Start from the blobs in the background and move on from
there.' Here you're supposed to make a collage with everyday things like candy
wrappers and other fun materials. But you have to make something out of one color,
but all different shades of the color. So that would be fun and if you're limited
to one color - even though it's a lot of shades of one color - , that would be
challenging! Especially to find interesting materials in that color. So...
'My life back then. Research who you were in the past, your feelings, your childhood
how you saw yourself'. Okaaay. That's... interesting. [laughs] 'Free yourself from expectations,
worries and sources of stress.' You're supposed to make a collage or draw or
write things that you want to let go of from the past and also write down some
positive things. Nice, interesting. That's a difficult one to draw, but interesting. 'My
childhood home.' I like this one! So you're supposed to write about what it was like
living there and then also make a drawing of it or a collage - or just a
picture if you are uninspired. But yeah, I think this one is very fun. This is more
about your house: the floorplan of your house, what your bedroom was like, drawing
it or writing about it. And... yeah! And special notes or things about the
surroundings of your house. This is about your siblings, your parents, best and
worst moments in the house. Here you're supposed to do something about yourself
when you were younger, so... Who you were, what you liked, what you were interested
in. So you can fill those page up with that. These pages are meant for
things you never want to forget. 'The soundtrack of your life. Songs you liked
as a teenager, songs you will always love, songs from your childhood, when I hear
this song I think about....' 'Oh happy day. Collage, draw, write about the moment you
were the absolute happiest'. [sighs] Absolute happiest... that's difficult. [laughs] I mean: not
that I was never happy or anything. It's just, to pick one moment and to then draw
it out... it's very, very challenging! 'Laughing is healthy.' Here you're supposed
to write about something that happened in the past that made you laugh and talk
about when it was, who it was with, why, what happened,...
'Self-portrait'. You're supposed to stick a picture of yourself here from 10 years
or longer ago and then you're supposed to draw yourself next to it, the way you
saw yourself, or a specific feature. 'Don't be afraid.
Make a list of things you used to be scared of and draw it as well.'
Spiders! [laughs] It's gonna be a page full of spiders! [laughs] 'My life now. What lessons are you
learning? What are you doing in your daily life? What are you noticing? And
date it all.' 'Heart and soul. What kind of things nurture your soul? What aspects of
your life inspire you? What are your wishes and dreams? Write or draw a quote
that you like. What do you need to fulfill your dreams? If you can dream it,
you can also do it.' 'This is how I feel about myself today.' This is sort of like
a checklist, it says: 'Big Love, sort of happy, optimistic, I'm my worst enemy
today, tortured, defiant, I can't do anything wrong,
preachy, annoyed,... blah blah [laughs] and so on and so on. Draw or make a collage of every
other feeling you have about yourself today.' 'In my head. Five random words that
pop into your head and how do you feel about those words?' And then on this page
it's: 'five things that happened today and how do these make you feel?' And now... 'Stick
a recent picture of yourself on this page and write or draw around it. Sho are
you now? What do you like and what are your interests?' See how much work this
book is gonna be? But it does look like fun! 'Today I believe in... I understand... I
try... I dream of... I hope... I desire... I expect... I imagine... I strive...' So: 'write down your
answers quickly and make some drawings to go with whatever you wrote'. 'Describe
me. Find a quote or quotes that you recognize yourself in.' I like this page!
It is like a post-it note for every day of the month and you're supposed to
write or draw something that you're grateful for. That's cute! [laughs]
This doesn't really have instructions of what you're supposed to draw,
but it says that you're supposed to use a pen that is very well visible on
this background. So, you know, a white or just some sort of light pen. So I think
I'll just do doodling here. 'Five things that make me happy.'
'What is it time for? Whether it's a subtle change or something that turns
your life upside down.' 'What I learned today.' 'Why can't I? What is stopping you?
Let your thoughts run freely and get out everything that's stopping you from
fulfilling your dreams.' I think I won't have a hard time filling up these pages! [laughs]
Because I let a lot of things hold me back, unfortunately. 'My colors. Use colors...'
Okay! On one page you're supposed to use colors that match you, that go well with
you and on the other page you're supposed to use colors that you wished
would work for you. Huh! Okay? I kind of like all colors, but it's...that's not the
question. The question is what colors go well with you and which ones would you
like to go with you. Some are really not that easy! [laughs] 'What values would make you a
better person? Write them down and draw them out.' How are you supposed to draw
values. [whispers] Challenging! [laughs] That's why I like it, but that's also why I haven't gotten
started. Because some are like: how? what? huh? [laughs] But yeah, that's a good thing though,
it kind of pushes you out of your comfort zone. 'Nothing can bring you more
peace than you.' It doesn't really have instructions of anything you're supposed
to do with this. But you could just draw whatever you want. This is just
instructions for the next couple of pages. 'Wherever you are, look around, take
a deep breath and write down: I smell... I see... I taste... I hear... I feel... Draw
what you see or take a picture.' 'What colors are around you and how do these
colors make you feel? 'Mapping out a day. Where did you go today? Draw it on these
pages. How do you feel after this day? What are the moments that you remember
the best? What were the highlights? What were the low points?' 'Where would you
like to be where you feel at your best?" Oh, you're supposed to stick a picture of
yourself on here and then draw a place around it where you would like to be. 'My
happy place. Where do you go to escape everything?' 'A face filled week.' So you
have these boxes for every day of the week and you're supposed to draw a face
every day. An expression on your own face or faces of people you meet. 'What would
be your absolute favorite place to live in in the entire world?' 'I taste... I see... I
feel... I smell... I hear... Five senses. 'A drawing each day.' So for every day of the
week you're supposed to fill one of these colored boxes with a drawing of
what happened that day. These aren't instructions. It just has a
quote on it. It says: 'It's about the journey, not about the destination. It's
about the story, not about the ending.' But again, you can draw or write or whatever
you want on there. This is just the intro of the next chapter, chapter 5. Okay,
you're supposed to take a picture of a person that's important to you here and
how did he or she influenced you? This is a checklist of what you're like. It says:
'I am... Preferably alone. Capable of being alone, but I also love my friends.' or 'Not
complete until I have people around me.' And then it says, you know, if you like to
be around people, you should try going to the movies alone or something. If you
like being alone, try going to a party where there's a lot of people. If you're
in between, then test both situations and compare. Write, draw and
make a collage about the feeling that it gave you, about how it made you feel. 'The
garden of my life. Imagine living in a garden full of plants and flowers that
represent the people in your life. What are the plants and flowers you see? Draw
them, write and make a collage of them on these pages.' That's fun!
'My heart desires.' So here you can draw or write whatever it is you desire. Okay,
here you're supposed to stick a picture or something that represents this person
of someone who influenced your life in a negative way. And stick it on the page
here. And then on the rest of the pages you're supposed to make a collage with
pretty paper and cutouts. Not really sure what... what that's about? It does say, you
know, sometimes you need to let go of people. But sticking nice things around a
person that's bringing negativity to your life, that doesn't necessarily
remove that person. It just means you put nice papers around their head. [laughs] I think I
need to look at the bigger picture here! [laughs] 'I have loved...' So you just write or draw
what you've loved. 'Who makes me happy?'
'Don't fo'get to love yourself.' This is probably just a quote, no instructions
there . 'Make a list of the things you've learned about yourself by filling in
this book.' We're almost at the end I think. 'In what way did you change since
your first doodle in this book?' 'Creative goals. What now?' I think that's the ending,
yep. And this is just a little something about the author. That was it! I really
hope you enjoyed seeing what this book is all about. Please let me know in the
comments below if you've ever done any of these types of books, whether it's
a 'wreck this journal' or 'create this book' or this one or another type that I
don't know about... Please let me know, I would love to hear it. And I would love
to find out whether you enjoyed doing it and if you finished it and how long it
took you! So yeah, once I'm done filming and editing this video I am going to
start in this book. And maybe, if you guys would be interested in seeing that and
if I think it's a good idea, I might show you some of the finished pages when
they're done. But yeah, I guess that depends on how badly you would like to
see it and how good of a job I do. [laughs[ Because I'm not very confident when it
comes to my drawings and paintings and things like that. Because, I... yeah, I never
think it's good enough, you know, to show anyone. But maybe it's about time I get
over that! So let me know if you would like to see that. Thank you so much for
watching, I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you soon in the
next video! Please LIKE the video if you enjoyed it and subscribe if you haven't
already. Thank you so much for watching. Bye!!
