June Notebook Challenge 2022

Welcome back for another #HBNotebookChallenge video. I’m so excited to share some of these beautiful setups and new notebooks that I’ll be using this month and for months to come.
The HeartBreathings Notebook Challenge is a monthly challenge to take those beautiful notebooks you’ve been too scared to mess up or you’ve been waiting for a “special” occasion to use and JUST USE THEM! I promise you’ll gain more joy from actually using your notebooks than from having them sit there unused for years, so let’s chat about the different ways we’re currently using our beautiful notebooks.
This month’s diverse read is The Hacienda by Isabel Canas. Find links to buy and more about this author on her website here: www.isabelcana... or buy The Hacienda on Amazon here: amzn.to/3aygvS5
If you’re interested in learning more about the Book Of The Month Club, you can grab your first book for just $5 here: www.mybotm.com...

[@Tara_Tseng]

Love the notebook challenge, a great way to start off my birthday month! Love the multiple notebook ideas. I bought too many of the Wonder Woman notebooks like your Hello Kittys. Thanks for another great video and excited to read the book as well, looks great!

[@HeartBreathings]

Hi Tara!!! You're the winner of this month's giveaway!!! Send me an email at [e-mail] with your name and email address, and I'll get this in the mail next week!! Congrats!

[@Tara_Tseng]

Woo Hoo! Thank you, I’m so excited! Email sent. Happy weekend!

[@paula2461]

I love watching these notebook challenges because every once in a while I see the way you're using a notebook and suddenly I have an idea on how to use one of mine.

[@HeartBreathings]

Yay for the June #hbnotebookchallenge. Come join us in HB90, too!! Hope you're all having a great weekend!!

[@ElaniaG]

Loved the idea of using notebooks as letters to self/children.

[@E.M.Luminations]

Yes please 🙏🏾 I would love to see a video of your favourite books on the writing and the ones that you are currently reading. I know you have mentioned in previous videos about KM Weiland and some others that you have recommended on your free resources too, but a whole video on what books, why you recommend it and specifically what you found most helpful about them would be fabulous 👌🏾 Thank you for all you do for the community 😊😊🤗🤗

[@ksmystical25]

I love watching your monthly notebook videos where you show the notebooks you use for the month. I have so many notebooks and journals. I love finding ways to use them. Blessings to you. Thank you so much for all the inspiration and encouragement each month.

[@judewalsh500]

Def show us your stack of writing books!

[@RobynCoburn]

I love notebooks! It’s all because of you.

[@nikkihall7994]

It's nice to know I'm not alone in my notebook obsession.

[@HeartBreathings]

🥰

[@BrittMarieBox]

Writing letters to your daughter is a beautiful idea. I have a notebook from my late mother that only has a handful of entries in but it’s one of my most cherished possessions. Xxx

[@estrick4854]

I love that we are all addicted to blank notebooks! 💜

[@mgtogno]

I looooooove when u buy a whole bunch of notebooks for no reason, I feel represented!

[@thedoover6520]

I love the hello kitty journals

[@ingridprivette6543]

Thank you Sarra for putting out these vids and helping some of us with a paper/planner addiction feel a little less guilty 😂. Like you, I have a pretty paper ‘problem.’

[@dianagarland4907]

I just love your notebook challenge videos. It is so relaxing to make a good cup of coffee, kick back, and listen to how much other people love their notebooks too. I always get inspired with new ideas on what to use mine for.

[@anacosta5635]

Hey Sarra! As always, your monthly notebook challenge video has been brilliant and fun! Thank you for the inspiration & for calming my angst when it comes to having so many notebooks and not enough time or content to fill them up! I realise now, that it’s all about using them as needed, enjoying the process and just having fun 🤩. Wishing you a super week!

[@Paige_Y]

I love the Hello Kitty notebooks!

[@nadirawilde6344]

Thanks for more Ideas about filling your notebooks. I love the fact that you even go back and use half used ones.

[@nlhiserbooks]

I love these notebook challenge videos! I feel like I need to get a few more notebooks now lol. Maybe the kate spade? We'll see. Either way, I love your videos and how you show your true self. Never stop being truly you. Much love to you and the family. Stay safe!

[@tohkia]

I would love to get a rundown of your favorite writing craft books and the ones you’re currently reading! I always wonder what I should read next and there are so many options, it can be overwhelming. So having recommendations would be helpful! 💜

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you for letting me know! I'm excited to talk about my favorites and the new ones I've grabbed

[@authorcourtneytiffany]

I second this, I would love to know as well

[@nicolecomeaux2602]

Ditto!

[@mitzisimpkins5105]

I love your videos. I could listen to you speak for hours. Your voice calms & relaxes me which is something since nothing seems to relax me. 💕

[@HeartBreathings]

Wow, thank you!

[@sallywestgard7328]

I love these videos, I get my pile of notebooks and crawl in to bed and get ideas of what to use mine for. I love doing brain data dumps, and I have a ritual that I burn all my brain data dump (journals) on New Years Eve at a beach bonfire. Fresh start.

[@jenniferadam2258]

I love these notebook videos because I am so bad about hoarding notebooks and you always inspire me to use them!! Also, I can't wait to read The Hacienda, because I love Rebecca too. 😊 It looks so spooky in all the best ways.

[@Inkypixart]

Loved the Hello Kitty! And I think Kitty will help me with manifesting!!’

[@jillnielsen8509]

Great notebooks! I particularly love the rose gold "Hello Kitty" one. Thanks for a great video.

[@ek6151]

Yes to a video about the writing craft books you've enjoyed and what you are reading now.

[@HeartBreathings]

Awesome!

[@teritowne5820]

Yes to seeing a video about the writing books you 've found helpful.

[@annad3842]

I find notebook pages or even book pages so nice to look at! beautiful contrast between the paper and the ink/font :)

[@ailismckinney1750]

I LOve the notebooks! They are so pretty. There is nothing like a new notebook to make you feel creative! Yes I am addicted to notebooks pens and pencils!

[@lauralesko1255]

I LOVE the idea of a future-casting notebook (and no negativity!!) totally going to use that one! Thanks for sharing!!

[@CraftingVicky]

OMG I don't always comment on your videos but I always watch them on both channel and take so much inspiration from you. What blew my mind this time around was that you were going to be using the Erin condrin Hello Kitty to make a manifestation journal. And that's what I have done with one of mine (a bit different from yours because it's the pink with the hello kitty and friends at the bottom in gold but so far one of the manifestation has happen which is finding a house that I can turn into a working studio and getting a rental for the upstairs!) You have really inspired me so much. I just ADORE Kate Spade and was so sad when she passed. I would love to win this notebook. Thanks for the chance to win. But most of all thank you for all the inspiration and the being very down to earth.

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you so much for commenting and supporting both channels! It means a lot.

[@darlenedafoe4426]

I am not a writer, but have been very engaged with your channel. I appreciate your honesty, struggles and journey. Thank you. From an avid listmaker/notetaker

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you so much!

[@PinkHawk191]

one of my notebooks is for my mental health. I use one for my writing class with my day program for adults with Autism. I do have a gratitude journal. I would use the notebook for my Spanish class with my day program for adults with Autism for notes during Spanish class.

[@bethbissauthor]

Seeing the ways you use varioys notebooks has inspired me to start taking note about the books I read, not merely highlighing and underling within the book.

[@lindsaymoussa2118]

It’s funny how in the midst of the mundane, a beautiful notebook can make me feel like something great is about to happen. ❤️

[@christinaayala5993]

Another fantastic notebook challenge video! I love that you're making notebooks to write notes to your kids. I do the same for both of mine and can't wait for them to get older and read it.

[@afilakashining]

This is the first time that i have watched your note book challenge. I have so many thks for the creative ideas

[@PartlySunnyToday]

Yes on the craft book video! Save the Cat Writes a Novel is fabulous. I'd love to see you do a video of this book and others.

[@hawkivory]

hello, my name is Lacey and I watched this video twice in a row lol. Thanks for bringing the joy, Sarra!

[@plumstone4982]

Love the idea of keeping all my craft book notes in one place! Thanks for the idea.

[@francineh.7825]

Thank you for wanting to give away the beautiful notebook! I use mine to plan my garden, my art work projects, writing, things I want (need) to renovate in my cottage. When I heard your opening comments I wondered to myself why so many of us love notebooks. Obviously, it helps with being organized but it seems more than that. I'm interested in why that is...I'll have to research haha. 🙃

[@Stephsgotit]

watching your videos are always freeing. thank you for always pointing out that we are different and use things in different ways and that's okay. I now need to go through all my notebooks and planners.

[@AleLau84]

I love the notebook challenge! You always encourage me to use up all of mine. 💕

[@writing_lvl]

It's a struggle using my nice journals but it's encouraging seeing videos like this one! I need to pull one out for my next project 💜🖤

[@enedinawrites]

Watching your notebook challenges have made me feel way less guilty about saving my notebooks for the right moment! I am not alone!

[@rebeccacoronado3528]

Finally somebody gets me about the notebooks. I can’t write on them because they are so beautiful !

[@TheReadingandWritingLife]

I love those ideas for how to use the notebooks. It gives me some ideas of what to do with mine.

[@vickyhunt9680]

Just discovered your channel and am already hooked! I’m a teacher on summer break and I always get back into my planners and notebooks over break so I was looking for ideas. Love all your ideas!! 💗🧡💛💚💙💜

[@anitabanks2167]

How exciting.

[@nekobrown8632]

I only use two planners and one notebook for journaling but I need to get better about it! Don't worry, I think you're doing amazing and I can't wait to see an update on how it's all going. Again, don't feel bad about not feeling like you're writing as much, I have dozens of ideas for short stories floating around yet I hardly ever write anymore. Thank you so much for the giveaway, this is the first one I'm entering, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@hopehelstrom4901]

yes I am addicted to notebooks pens and markers

[@Dawn-Bogart-Creates]

I love the Charlotte Bronte quote. She is my all time favorite author. I have loved her since I was a little girl. I got this notebook where the lines of the pages are small type of entire book of Jane Eyre. It is so beautiful. I am using that notebook to write quotes I love. It took a long time to write my first quote in it. I love using multiple books/planners and It is all because of you. I use to be very afraid. So thank you. ❤

[@lindsaymoussa2118]

I watched this video last night. Today I was inspired to go find and use a great notebook I had saved and it turns out…I only have cheap half-scribbled-in school notebooks for my kids or one that WAS nice but the toddlers got ahold of it. 😆

[@chandragray8186]

That is something I have never had to worried about with notebooks, I will use them. I have discovered that it doesn't have to me that is finishing a notebook. I can buy my daughter notebooks and she will use them for sketch books and she goes through a ton of books that way. So i get the enjoyment of notebooks being filled through my daughter. which is great because it takes me a while to finish notebooks. I'm such a dork, Hahahaha!

[@briellerose6145]

I haven't finished the video but paused to say I would LOVE a video on your favourite books on writing! There are so many out there, it's overwhelming and I don't know where to start.

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you for letting me know!!

[@shadowknowsjo]

I always love your monthly notebook videos. Makes me feel less guilty about lusting over pretty notebooks in my local bookstores.

[@michellecookson2905]

Loving your notebook challenge, and seeing how you use the notebooks, gives me such inspiration, (also helps me to know I am not the only one who sees a beautiful notebook and buys it even if I don't know what I am gonna use it for just yet!) I love those hello kitty notebooks, such a same we in the UK can not buy them. Thanks for all your amazing inspiration loving it. x

[@kathywilliams4517]

Beautiful notebooks! You provide me with such inspiration! Love Kate Spade!

[@smallsthebard]

You've inspired me to use up all the notebooks I've saved because they were "pretty". I'd rather have notebooks full of memories than empty "pretty" notebooks. I'm slowly working through them so thank you for that.

[@skylereaton4990]

Nothing like a good #hbnotebookchallenge video to remind me that I can plan BIG things for myself as well. Thanks Sarra!

[@bahora3]

All your notebooks are always so pretty! 🤩Thank you for giving us so many ideas on how to use our notebooks. Since I started watching your videos, I now have a manifestation notebook, a story plot notebook and another one where I keep progress of my goals. Your success and hard work ethic are so inspiring, Sarra! 💜

[@SallySueSaywhatagain]

I love notebooks so much, but I struggle so hard with coming up with ways to use them, and then I feel guilty for wanting another one because I've got a dozen empty notebooks in my office. These vids are always so encouraging and inspiring, thank you so much for all you do!!

[@jessieqi8207]

Those hello kitty notebooks looks great. Hopefully they go on sale again.

[@amandashawn8371]

Love these videos. I look forward to them every month.

[@AkoeLiaPardede]

Yes, I've been in that situation! Too beautiful to write on, and then regret because the "too beautiful notebook" not the notebook that I need anymore....

[@miesje1984]

Definitely would like to see a video on the writing books!

[@cherylfish1736]

You have wore off on me!! I have started collecting notebooks to use for various things…I show my husband one I like and he says “you just got 3, have you already filled them up”. When I told him they were being used for different things and not full at all he just tells me I’m crazy. He just doesn’t understand. 🤣🥰

[@catherinelove2820]

I was waiting for a new upload. 🤣 I hope y'all have a great vacation.

[@tonyameza602]

You have given me ideas on how to use my notebooks I really like the manifestation notebook idea

[@Rentheworld]

I really like that date spot idea. It's kind of like Cornell note-taking.

[@borreberte]

Love all your notebooks.

[@TracyKrimmer]

I love the manifestation journal idea!!!

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you! I already started it, and I'm LOVING it! I'll share an update next month!

[@ghostyplans]

I love your notebook challenges! This month I’m working on my Narrow TN inserts. One is a writing notebook, and the other is a journal!

[@tinabrown6892]

I love your notebook challenge videos. You always give such great ideas on how to use a notebook. Thank you for always being such an inspiration!

[@cheyennedealy809]

I love your notebook videos. It makes me feel better about myself. Lol. I have a notebook hoard. One of my favorites is a Harry Potter notebook my daughter gave me for Christmas two or three years ago. That notebook is precious to me so I do not want to write in it unless it is really special. She really wants me to write in it, but I can't bring myself to do it yet.

[@NinaBenski]

The notebook challenge is my favorite video!

[@mizzkain]

Love the fact that you’re using your stash! So motivational 💕💕

[@lejanaranjo5149]

I am super excited for this next quarter! Mercury retrograde has put me in the best mindset for this coming few months. I feel like I can truly start to appreciate what's around me and all the little things that I once dreamed of but never thought I'd obtain.

[@lejanaranjo5149]

I just realized that I didn't add my thought about that notebook at the end. I am a hopeless addict to spiral notebooks and that one is stunning lol

[@kathywilliams4517]

I would love to see your stack of writing books!

[@JackieCastle]

I enjoy these videos. Love the ideas for how to use up those notebooks that are sitting around. Like books, one can never have enough notebooks in their life.

[@cam632]

Another notebook challenge already?! Where is the time going? But omg I loved every bit of this video as usual. I'm still working on my anxiety journal from last month, because I'm really trying to manage my mental health better. I started writing poetry in it as a way to express my feelings. Anyways loved this Sarra. I always enjoy your smiling face (even if I didn't get to see it this time around)🤗

[@tiffanycowan7285]

It would be great if you could do a video on which writing books you have.

[@jessatlife]

Loving all the decorations in your new cloth & paper cover. 💕

[@HeartBreathings]

Thank you!

[@chereesorensen4248]

I love your idea for using your Hello Kitty notebooks for hopes/dreams. I am totally going to start one for myself. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one that LOVES notebooks. You inspire me to use them.

[@lindaa1540]

So far, I have only one journal for everything and it's all I can do to keep up with it! That said, I would like to keep a separate journal just for quotes and affirmations and things that inspire me, including the beauty of the world around me; another to record the books I've read (The Hacienda is definitely going to be one of those); and another as a dream journal. Now that I've learned to make junk journals, I can make my own tailored to my specific desires but that doesn't mean I won't continue to buy the premade ones. We won't even mention the ones I already have!

[@Lunamoondreams86]

I am so excited after watching your video to try this, I can now utilize all of my notebooks and journals I can’t wait to start.

[@mrandisg]

I decided to save this video so I can take notes from it--so many great ideas! I especially like the idea of having a designated notebook for writing down notes from books and videos! I had started such a notebook a long time ago, but I only used a small portion of it. I'm thinking of transferring those notes to a fresh notebook and repurposing the old one. I'd also set up a traveler's notebook for that purpose with an insert for each subject I wanted to take notes on: writing, budgeting, planning/time management, and home organization. However, I never used it, and I think that may be because the inserts were blank instead of lined, therefore any notes I did write in it would be sloppy. I have a Webster's Pages spiral notebook that is similar in structure to the Kate Spade one you're giving away. They could possibly be companions to each other! 😁

[@TineVlogz]

I’ll start a new notebook this September when my daughter enters kindergarten… I’ll journal in letter format about all her big milestones and birthdays, then I’ll gift it to her on her 18th birthday :)

[@silviavs24]

Watching your notebook challenge video gives me new ideas and inspiration! Beautiful Kate Spade notebook! 🌸

[@rose-mariemuller6704]

Such a great idea. Thank you 🙏🌻

[@sarah_c_brody]

I'd love to see your writing books! I'm always looking for new ones. Love that teal stars notebook. Lay flat dot grids are my favorites. So excited for The Hacienda, it was one of my BOTM picks for May as well. I'm adding it to my June TBR list. Thanks for inspiring us to use our notebooks!

[@lindsaymoussa2118]

Checking in a few days after watching this video for the first time (I have watched it twice), and I just wanted to let you know that you provided the spark I needed to get myself together and start getting organized and my home/life/finances headed in the direction I want. Thank you!

[@tinapullen6421]

Im always excited to see the notification for the notebook challange! I love my Websters pages notebook holder. I have that exact same one. I use it for my notebook for my writing group I attend. I recently purchased a hobonichi cousin. Because I feel if I can have everything in one place it may just help with my daily journaling. I will let you know how that works out.

[@s.l.richardson451]

I love seeing how you use notebooks in unique and vibrant ways! I've not heard of the BOT month club. Thanks for talking about it. Welcome to Texas!!!!

[@QueenHonestlySavage]

Love the ways you plan to use your notebooks! I have so many it’s crazy could open my own store with the notebooks and stationary products I have it’s ridiculous but at 37years old I am trying to take control of my need to buy and not use for fear of not using it for something important and or not finding again! My 6 year old is using my mini dollar store notebooks to go art journal even though she doesn’t write yet but she like to create so I let her. Has like 6 don’t already but I told her she doesn’t need to take the pages out and the. Add she can just cover them up lol!!! But it’s her passion and she said as we watch this video my passion is make art in my notebooks and creating notebooks and giving them as presents to people!!! Smart cookie (homeschool) child-led with structure works!!! Keeps shining mamas maybe when I decluteer I will send you a picture if I don’t start my channel showing you the amount of things I have!!! ❤Keep shining beloved u got this! You wouldn’t be you and have your own stores to share and help others along the way!!!!Thanks I plan to write my life story been told to do it since I was in high school but keep saying I will but one of my goals this year is to start to write and I am figuring out coping ways to make sure when I do and things come up I know what to do to keep focus and not be sad and upset! As a therapist we work so much in others and never ourselves but fill your cup first as much as you can and then you will have the strength and energy to help others!!!❤

[@reginabusboom8271]

Please share your list of writing books, as well as your new ones, and which is your favorite(s) and why! I’m new to the craft of writing and have so much to learn! You have been an inspiration to me!

[@alexandrastcroix7785]

I love watching these notebook challenges. Always full of great ideas and such pretty notebooks.

[@tortagialla]

Always look forward to these monthly videos for ideas on how to use all the notebooks we hoard 😅

[@nicolemiller9437]

I think it's an amazing idea todo a video on your writing books! I have so many I want to get, and I noticed that KU and prime reading has a bunch on them as well. While not hte ideal format, it's at least a start fomr those who can't afford paperbacks.

[@rosannebowman2592]

I am terrible about starting a notebook, setting it down somewhere and then starting another one. I really need to give my notebooks a dedicated purpose so I can actually find things again.
