I have to admit that I get a certain satisfaction when I see one of my notebooks get thicker because I write in it, stick pictures, washi and a whole lot of other things. It's as much fun as when I buy a new one. 🥰
For the past few months I've been watching your videos and following you on social media. You have inspired me in so many ways. This month I'm on board with the Don't Break the Chain and 6MonthsforLife. Now I'm finally feeling brave enough to dive into my notebooks. I especially liked your manifestation notebook. That's what I'll be working on for now. Thanks for sharing all your inspiring ideas!
OMG! yes! You have no idea how much I needed and appreciate the notebook challenge. I totally need that Happy Notes now that I have finally decided to write my first original fiction book! Lots of love!
You just reminded me that Plum Paper exists. I bought a planner from them in 2016 but mainly used EC or Hobonichi since then but I just ordered a new PP planner so I can track my daily schedule. It's absolute chaos trying to do uni, write and lose weight all at once and I definitely need to schedule my days better. I absolutely adore your videos and I can't wait to see what you make in future
I think the tarot notebook that you are not “making beautiful” is absolutely beautiful. I love the coordinating layers of washi and stickers. You teach me something with every video. Thanks for doing the giveaways.
I love seeing the variety of notebooks and planners you have! I also love that you shout those who have Etsy shops with notebooks. Your organization is inspiring! I love the happy notes notebook!
The peacock 🦚 notebook is beautiful! Thank you for the 30 day don’t break the chain challenge. It’s only the 8th and already I have been SO productive, smashing goals and facing fears. I’m grateful for you!
Big congratulations on your new book release! Looking forward to your new book writing/ideas series and your 6month challenge! Have a lovely holiday! Hope your TV adaptation wish comes true! :) I love planners...The Happy Notes notebook would be great for what I have in mind to do! :) Thanks for your generosity! xx
Hooray for the notebook challenge! Can’t wait for the mid-year planner line-up! I’m using Library Thing desktop/mobile app to catalog my books and track my reading, but I’m returning to a physical notebook for my reading journal this month.
Love the notebook challenges! I loved discovering I am not alone in my notebook love. I am doing a nature bird study for 2021 and July's bird for me is the Peacock so I would love that adorable Peacock Journal!
Last month got too crazy to really focus on really allow journaling the time I want to give it/ using journals for brain dumps/ other reasons a bit more so this came at the perfect time!! I think this is the year I will write my book I started/wrote many years ago in school :) 🎉 So pumped to join in on all these challenges this month!!! Need to retry discs, bought a HP notebook on clearance a long time ago and never used except a few pages. Love the flexibility a disc bound would have 💜
I'm loving the custom dragonfly journal, I'm finishing the book "The sun and her flowers" by rupi kaur, I'm behind with a couple of journals and I'm gonna use the next two weeks to catch up before using my new hello kitty EC notebook.
I love the monthly notebook challenges!!!!!! I love any and all notebooks but I’ve never used anything from Kikki K so I would love to have that one!!!!
This is my first month participating in the notebook challenges. I have eight notebooks in use this month, and I'm hoping to fill them up before the end of the month. Thank you for holding another great giveaway and for sharing another monthly notebook challenge. I love watching your videos!
I love watching your notebook challenge videos. Right now I'm busy working and on my days off I plan on sitting down and write more in my notebook. It's a challenge working, taking care of a house and kids. I love all of your notebooks, the way you design them is beautiful. I live the Kikki K notebook. Thank you for sharing @HBreathings.
Congratulations on finishing Vengeful Darkness!! You got me started down the rabbit hole of planners, and I am loving it! It's kept me sane through the last year, so thank you:-)
Love the notebooks you shared this month! I really like the idea of keeping a journal of your tarot spreads for the day. I wonder if I should put it in a planner or rummage through my old notebooks so I have more room to write... decisions, decisions... Thanks for the video!
Your video’s always make me want to write, write, write!!! Oh and also buy, buy, buy lol!! That Kikki K pink pear planner is to die for. I’m currently going through my notebooks/planners to organize what will be used for what. I would love to be considered for any of the notebooks that you are giving away but especially the Happy Notes. Thank you!! Enjoy your vacation!!
Another great video! Congrats on the book! Enjoy vacation! I am on the bandwagon for the 6 month transformation, and excited For some positive changes for me.
I actually just bought some glue to repair some notebooks of mine. I have a few that I've had for years, but the binding is falling apart not long after I start using the notebooks. So fingers crossed I can actually use up the ones I have right now once the glue comes in! Enjoy your well-deserved vacation!
I will be participating in the notebook challenge. I've got so many things I want to get done in all aspects of my life that I really need to sit down and get organized. I love that happy notes. I've really been wanting to try those disc-bound notebooks for a while.
This is so impressive. I am almost overwhelmed. I feel like just being near this level of productivity is helpful and happiness inducing. lol I need someone like you as a neighbor or friend. Thank you for sharing!
Love these videos. You've inspired me to use more of my notebooks over the years. I recently took apart an old A5 notebook and put it onto Happy Planner discs. I love it and think I with use it so much faster now.
Congratulations on your new release!!!!!! 🎉 I love your live streams and try to watch as much as I can (As the live stream happens when it is 2 am in my place) But it is always worth it. And the don't break the chain challenge is now forcing me to sit down and not to break the chain of writing. Honestly, you became my writing fairy godmother as you always inspire me to write. Thanks for being the awesome person that you are ❤️
I've been thinking about using tarot but I'm a complete rookie! I have a deck I received for Christmas but just haven't delved deep enough to figure it out. Thanks for inspiring me to pick it up again.
New subscriber here! I found you from Cindy G-B's review of your planner. Not only am I now obsessed with your notebooks, but I need to read allllllll your books!
I just started a Tarot journal while watching this video. I also have a book journal going for my book with word counts included thanks to your ideas and suggestions. Thanks for being so inspiring, Sarra!!
Love these monthly notebook videos and all of your content. Thanks for sharing. Your new home is ready and waiting for you. 💫🖼 Would love the largest notebook or happy notes!
I just started a New Harry Potter themed journal as a gratitude journal. I got a couple journals for my birthday last year. I love the peacock journal. It’s so cute! Doing my journal every day helps since this last month was so hard due to losing my cousin in a car accident suddenly. I have a journal that I write in when I need to get my feelings out and I don’t feel like talking with my family.
I would love if you did a series or class on creating a manifestation journal. Did I understand that correctly that you are working on finishing one up? Yes, I would love to participate in the challenge and I love the peacock! Beautiful!
I love all the planning you do in your notebooks!! It inspires me and give me motivation. I'm excited about your giveaway, the notebooks are cute and i would love to start journaling in them. It would help me get motivated as i'm starting from a fresh page. I love your content.
Good day HB, I have been watching your channel for awhile. I enjoy your videos, and you empower me to use my stationary! Thank you, have a great day :) And I've love the red disc planner if I'm a chosen one! xD
Please show us some of the tv deal journal once it's finished! I love flipping through completed notebooks because when you write only a couple of pages a day it doesn't seem much but when you look at them together? So much has been written.
The dream life planner seems really cool✨ I checked on the Kikki K website and it wasn’t listed but I think it might be on Amazon. I love watching these Notebook challenges since I get to find out about new planners, journals and systems to plan and achieve my goals✨
That bookmark is incredible! I still don’t think I’ve finished one notebook, so congrats on finishing the plotting one AND getting the book released (cause that deserves another mention too 😉) 💕 xx
I have so many notebooks, I like your videos to give me inspiration. I’m curious about starting to read tarot cards and making a manifestation journal. Thank you for your content!
I love your hobonichi tarot notebook, it's so cute and watching the pages grow must be so satisfying. I haven't had the chance yet to try anything kikki k but the striped notebook looks like such a great size. How do you store all your active notebooks when you're not writing in them? I use a full size HP, classic HP, EC daily duo, and an EC A5 notebook and find them fighting for space on my desk.
This will be my first time participating in the notebook challenge! I’ve been going through my old notebooks trying to find ways to use and fill them. I would love to use the happy notes planner - I’ve been eyeing the happy planner and happy notes and would love to try one out!
I would love the happy planner notebook! I participate every month with the notebook challenge and am getting close to finishing up one finally! I love all of your challenges and am currently doing the "don't break the chain" challenge and loving it.
I love that dragonfly bookmark, it's beautiful! I bought some stencils for my bullet journal recently and am excited to use them. That peacock notebook is so pretty, it would definitely be my choice.
Building a house in good economic times is hard, now contractors can't accurately predict how much anything is going to cost because of all the world's issues. I hope it gets better for you and you can get your dream home. I love that Rise and shine notebook.
June was a month of figuring things out for me. I decided to reduce the amount of visual clutter on and around my desk so that I can improve my focus, which I hope will lead toward more reconnection with my writing. It's been an ongoing process, but I think I'm making some progress with it. Unfortunately, this means I ended up boxing up a lot of my planners and notebooks. Not that I'm not going to use them all eventually! I just needed to get most of them out of my line of sight for a little while. The problem was that I had them on a shelf right next to my desk. Every time I glanced over at that shelf, I'd see one (or a bunch) of my notebooks, planners, or journals, and I'd think "Hmm. I really want to use that notebook/planner/journal right now, but I don't know what I want to use it for yet." Then I'd spiral down a rabbit hole of ideas as I sat there staring at them...not getting any writing done in the process. And getting overwhelmed. Having said all that, I wouldn't mind winning a notebook! lol I might just have to put it away for a bit until I figure out how I'm going to use it. Basically, the idea is to wait until the need arises for a specific thing, THEN pick a notebook to fill that need! Until then, my stash is literally stashed away, out of sight but not entirely out of mind. I'm still committed to using up the notebooks I have...I just need to learn that I can't designate a use for every single one I have at the same time! lol
I absolutely love the notebook challenge. It feeds my guilty pleasure which is pens and paper. I wish could write a story or had a business so I could buy more notebooks and planners, lol. I don't have a story to tell per say but I do journal and keep my planner for to do list. Still I am always motivated to get some more notebooks. I love plum paper that is my go to planner. I am going to get a EC during black Friday this year for bible study, but I love the customizable of Plum Paper
I love seeing all the note books that you find, especially now that I have completed the HB90 course. Congratulations on finishing your book. It sounds like it was such a labour of love. I would love to enter the give away for the happy notes. Hope you have a fantastic and well deserved mini break 💜💜💜
Not participating at the notebook challenge right now. Wait, does a Hobonichi Cousin count for the challenge because that’s what I’m using as my journal? I do like the Happy Notes. Thanks for this opportunity! ☺️
June was a crazy month for sure. At a dance competition for the week and trying to get reorganized. Def picking up When No one is Watching - sounds so good! I would like the Michael's book if I win! I love these challenges always gets me motivated
I like the Kiki k notebook. I probably spelled it wrong. I’m using a hobonichi and love the feel of the pages. I also love seeing it get thicker as the year goes on.
Love the video and hearing about how far you've come in your notebooks/journals! For the giveaway I love the Happy Notes one! Thanks so much for doing a giveaway!
What an amazing selection of planners and notebooks. I really like those twist ring notebooks, I may have ordered one off Amazom, the narrow ruled is my jam lol. I would love to win the peacock notebook
I am participating in the July challenge with my granddaughter who will be 8 this month. We each have a journal with plain white pages. We are filling the pages with images we cut out of various things like magazines and cereal boxes. We will journal about her birthday party and include pictures. We are writing little tidbits about what we cut and paste. For example I cut apart a guide for QVC'S Christmas in July. we wrote things like this is cute - this is funky - I want this. I figure it's a good way to keep her creative and writing while not in school so the brain stays active. I would love to win the Happy Planner Notes. Thank you for sharing 😀
Oh I love the dragonfly bookmark! So pretty. You always inspire me to keep writing so thank you for that. 😃 Also I would love to win the peacock journal. I journal almost daily and it is really helpful with my mood.
Good morning, Sarra. Your give away notebooks are so summery! I would love to win the A4. I've not worked in that size before. That said.. I"m not picky, either :-) Rebekah made a beautiful notebook. Her work is so detailed and I wish her well in sales. That dragonfly bookmark is very pretty. Sounds like you're moving forward over the bumps. Sending positive vibes & Creative Blessings
Thanks for the giveaway, Sarra! I've just been using my Hobonichi Cousin for all of my day to day planning and journaling, which is so convenient. I also keep a Midori MD notebook around for extra journaling. The Kiki K notebook in the giveaway is super cute and functional, just like me. 😁
I just use the A6 hobonichi and the weekly supplement and that’s enough for me at the moment. I’m having a baby in December though, so that’ll probably change lol. Would love to try the happy notes or michaels notebook - not available here!
I have started an EC daily duo A5 loose leaf planner for my 6 month to life an use a Happy Planner for daily journal. I am starting a 2 page per day Franklin Covey for all around plans. I have ups and downs but working on it.
I am still plugging away in my moleskine 400 page notebook. I wish I really plan out my thoughts when I start a notebook. I start it as a journal the. It turns to a to do list. Its just a mess lol. I do want to join in this months challange and the peacoke notebook is speaking to me! I will look up that book and purchase it. I need a new book this month to read. Love that handmade dragonfly notebook! I will look at her shop as well.
I am happy to say I just have 3 pages left in a fitness notebook and will probably finish this week😁 the happy notes is such a cute notebook that I would like if I won. So sorry to hear about the house Sarra, maybe the Universe have something better around the corner Big hugs😘
💚 Thank you for videos. Congratulations on the meteroric rise of "Vengeful Darkness." I'm a graphic stoyteller, an author. Working on a series bible for streaming content, based on real life events. Also intend to write a book series from same (hopefully) nail-biting intel. Genre is thriller. Like many subscribers, I'm grateful to have stumbled upon your channels. My take-away here is: as writers and perhaps crafters, we can strategize initial planning, character development, key beats, by borrowing from your mad methods, customize, DIY, to suit our needs. Went crazy @ local craft shop, found "fun" inspiring happy planners, stickers, inserts, indexes. Now, ⏰, time to get cracking. ⚡️
Thank you for the giveaway! I'm also enjoying binge watching your channel for several weeks now! I'd like to get the happy planner notebook if I win it! Thank you! 👍❤️👍❤️👍
I'm obsessed with Happy Planner so that Happy Notes would fit right in with my collection. I'm sorry about your house but hopefully you're able to find something soon!
I think you brought up an important point about having a manifestation journal and just overall the power of manifestation. Unfortunately sometimes we want something so much that we manifest it, but it’s not really meant for us. We just have to be really careful where we put our energy into. I’m sorry to hear about your home but what is meant for you is on its way.
Welcome back to a new notebook challenge!!! How have you been doing?
Good, being a busy bee 🐝
I have to admit that I get a certain satisfaction when I see one of my notebooks get thicker because I write in it, stick pictures, washi and a whole lot of other things. It's as much fun as when I buy a new one. 🥰
I look forward to these videos every month. I have started two new notebooks this month and started my first Happy Planner! I am loving it.
For the past few months I've been watching your videos and following you on social media. You have inspired me in so many ways. This month I'm on board with the Don't Break the Chain and 6MonthsforLife. Now I'm finally feeling brave enough to dive into my notebooks. I especially liked your manifestation notebook. That's what I'll be working on for now. Thanks for sharing all your inspiring ideas!
OMG! yes! You have no idea how much I needed and appreciate the notebook challenge. I totally need that Happy Notes now that I have finally decided to write my first original fiction book! Lots of love!
You just reminded me that Plum Paper exists. I bought a planner from them in 2016 but mainly used EC or Hobonichi since then but I just ordered a new PP planner so I can track my daily schedule. It's absolute chaos trying to do uni, write and lose weight all at once and I definitely need to schedule my days better.
I absolutely adore your videos and I can't wait to see what you make in future
I think the tarot notebook that you are not “making beautiful” is absolutely beautiful. I love the coordinating layers of washi and stickers. You teach me something with every video. Thanks for doing the giveaways.
I love seeing the variety of notebooks and planners you have! I also love that you shout those who have Etsy shops with notebooks. Your organization is inspiring!
I love the happy notes notebook!
The peacock 🦚 notebook is beautiful!
Thank you for the 30 day don’t break the chain challenge. It’s only the 8th and already I have been SO productive, smashing goals and facing fears. I’m grateful for you!

Every notebook challenge video propells my journaling forward. Thank you for that!
Last month got too crazy to really focus on really allow journaling the time I want to give it/ using journals for brain dumps/ other reasons a bit more so this came at the perfect time!!

Another great video! Congrats on the book! Enjoy vacation! I am on the bandwagon for the 6 month transformation, and excited
For some positive changes for me.
I actually just bought some glue to repair some notebooks of mine. I have a few that I've had for years, but the binding is falling apart not long after I start using the notebooks. So fingers crossed I can actually use up the ones I have right now once the glue comes in! Enjoy your well-deserved vacation!

Thank you for putting up videos for us after such a crazy busy month for you in June! Hope you have a great vacation.
I've been thinking about using tarot but I'm a complete rookie! I have a deck I received for Christmas but just haven't delved deep enough to figure it out. Thanks for inspiring me to pick it up again.
Have a blessed vacay! Excited to see what manifests in the next six months. Both yours and mine! Love me some Happy Planner. 😊
I love the Kiki Kay notebook! It's a great size and so cute! Hope your vacation was relaxing!
New subscriber here! I found you from Cindy G-B's review of your planner. Not only am I now obsessed with your notebooks, but I need to read allllllll your books!
I just started a Tarot journal while watching this video. I also have a book journal going for my book with word counts included thanks to your ideas and suggestions. Thanks for being so inspiring, Sarra!!

Yay! I swear you must peek into my 🧠. I legit spent today going through my notebooks trying to figure out what I'd use this month.
I can't work out how you manage to find the time to fill in all these planners and notebooks, write and run a household 😁
I'm so glad you like the book I made for you! I'm totally a words of affirmation kind of girl and your words have made me so happy ❤
That bookmark is incredible! I still don’t think I’ve finished one notebook, so congrats on finishing the plotting one AND getting the book released (cause that deserves another mention too 😉) 💕 xx
Your notebook challenge videos inspire me to get mine out and make a plan for them.
I have so many notebooks, I like your videos to give me inspiration. I’m curious about starting to read tarot cards and making a manifestation journal. Thank you for your content!

First time to participate in a notebook challenge. So exited! I would love the You be you or the disc bound book. Thanks for making such great videos.
The dragonfly bookmark is gorgeous! 😍
Not participating at the notebook challenge right now. Wait, does a Hobonichi Cousin count for the challenge because that’s what I’m using as my journal?
I do like the Happy Notes. Thanks for this opportunity! ☺️
That peacock notebook is so cute! Thank you for the monthly inspiration to write/journal/plan/play!
June was a crazy month for sure. At a dance competition for the week and trying to get reorganized. Def picking up When No one is Watching - sounds so good! I would like the Michael's book if I win! I love these challenges always gets me motivated
My favorite video f the month.
Enjoy your Vacation!
I like the Kiki k notebook. I probably spelled it wrong. I’m using a hobonichi and love the feel of the pages. I also love seeing it get thicker as the year goes on.
the peacock one is so pretty! I love peacocks.
Love the video and hearing about how far you've come in your notebooks/journals! For the giveaway I love the Happy Notes one! Thanks so much for doing a giveaway!
I just recently watched your How to Plot series and it's helped me tremendously with my novella! Thank you so much for the great and honest content!!
What an amazing selection of planners and notebooks. I really like those twist ring notebooks, I may have ordered one off Amazom, the narrow ruled is my jam lol. I would love to win the peacock notebook
Your tarot notebook is very cool! I love the peacock journal.
Love seeing all your notebooks. I’m loving how my Hobonichi cousin is bulking up!
I am participating in the July challenge with my granddaughter who will be 8 this month. We each have a journal with plain white pages. We are filling the pages with images we cut out of various things like magazines and cereal boxes. We will journal about her birthday party and include pictures. We are writing little tidbits about what we cut and paste. For example I cut apart a guide for QVC'S Christmas in July. we wrote things like this is cute - this is funky - I want this. I figure it's a good way to keep her creative and writing while not in school so the brain stays active. I would love to win the Happy Planner Notes. Thank you for sharing 😀
Oh I love the dragonfly bookmark! So pretty. You always inspire me to keep writing so thank you for that. 😃 Also I would love to win the peacock journal. I journal almost daily and it is really helpful with my mood.
Good morning, Sarra. Your give away notebooks are so summery! I would love to win the A4. I've not worked in that size before. That said.. I"m not picky, either :-) Rebekah made a beautiful notebook. Her work is so detailed and I wish her well in sales. That dragonfly bookmark is very pretty. Sounds like you're moving forward over the bumps. Sending positive vibes & Creative Blessings
Thanks for the giveaway, Sarra! I've just been using my Hobonichi Cousin for all of my day to day planning and journaling, which is so convenient. I also keep a Midori MD notebook around for extra journaling. The Kiki K notebook in the giveaway is super cute and functional, just like me. 😁
I just use the A6 hobonichi and the weekly supplement and that’s enough for me at the moment. I’m having a baby in December though, so that’ll probably change lol. Would love to try the happy notes or michaels notebook - not available here!
I would love the be in the Notebook Challenge!!! I always love watching your channel.
I love the tarot journal! It’s so cool to see your journal growing :)!
I have started an EC daily duo A5 loose leaf planner for my 6 month to life an use a Happy Planner for daily journal. I am starting a 2 page per day Franklin Covey for all around plans. I have ups and downs but working on it.
It's been a busy summer and I'm trying to get my next draft written. But it's hard after taking a couple months off.
I am still plugging away in my moleskine 400 page notebook. I wish I really plan out my thoughts when I start a notebook. I start it as a journal the. It turns to a to do list. Its just a mess lol. I do want to join in this months challange and the peacoke notebook is speaking to me!
I will look up that book and purchase it. I need a new book this month to read.
Love that handmade dragonfly notebook! I will look at her shop as well.
I am happy to say I just have 3 pages left in a fitness notebook and will probably finish this week😁 the happy notes is such a cute notebook that I would like if I won.
So sorry to hear about the house Sarra, maybe the Universe have something better around the corner Big hugs😘
💚 Thank you for videos. Congratulations on the meteroric rise of "Vengeful Darkness."
I'm a graphic stoyteller, an author. Working on a series bible for streaming content, based on real life events. Also intend to write a book series from same (hopefully) nail-biting intel. Genre is thriller. Like many subscribers, I'm grateful to have stumbled upon your channels. My take-away here is: as writers and perhaps crafters, we can strategize initial planning, character development, key beats, by borrowing from your mad methods, customize, DIY, to suit our needs. Went crazy @ local craft shop, found "fun" inspiring happy planners, stickers, inserts, indexes. Now, ⏰, time to get cracking. ⚡️
I put May Design notebooks in travelers notebooks to protect them because I totally agree the covers aren't super durable otherwise. :)
New to your channel. A bit confused. What exactly is the challenge part of the notebook challenge? The journals are nice. Thanks!
Thank you for the giveaway! I'm also enjoying binge watching your channel for several weeks now! I'd like to get the happy planner notebook if I win it! Thank you! 👍❤️👍❤️👍
I'm obsessed with Happy Planner so that Happy Notes would fit right in with my collection. I'm sorry about your house but hopefully you're able to find something soon!
I just found you and love your videos! Your project books have me very intrigued.
I think you brought up an important point about having a manifestation journal and just overall the power of manifestation. Unfortunately sometimes we want something so much that we manifest it, but it’s not really meant for us. We just have to be really careful where we put our energy into. I’m sorry to hear about your home but what is meant for you is on its way.
Omg you sill have the fruity happy notes I wanted 1 for my birthday on Thursday 8th July but it wasn't gonna be here in time x
Omg is the challenge every month? I’m only now hearing about it😭
You inspired me to do something similar with tarot. Going to try to do it in a hobo A6.
Oh wow, peacocks have been repeatedly showing up for me lately. I'd love to win that notebook, haha!
