    I just clip the end of the coil and twist it so it comes completely out. Way easier than cutting all the sheets along the coil and no shreds of paper all over lol. Since i have to trim it anyway, it makes it way easier and less messy 😉☺️

    Hiya! I've just found happy planners and I'm obsessed! I'm in the UK so unfortunately we don't have wonderful craft shops like you do. I have a bit of a silly question....I plan to put together my own happy planner with inserts and dividers etc. I have found a happy notes book on sale online, so my question is can I use this notebook as my planner and then add calendars etc into that? I can't seem to see any difference between the planner and happy notes other than the types of paper? Please let me know if Im wrong? Thanks so much, love watching your videos ❤

    Hi there! The good news for you is that there are so many shops that sell printables. So you can just purchase the file and print at home! Yes, the discs and covers will work for the calendars as well as the notebooks. Just make sure you are buying the correct size and you should be good! Enjoy making your own, I think it's super fun!
