Paper Inkspirations - 13 Creative Ways to Fill Up Empty Notebooks

[@Taracinablue]

Those notes to your kids will be such lovely memories =)

[@SmileyWiley76]

I thought I was the only one who had so many notebooks that I use to write in so many different things. I still have more empty notebooks and now you have given me more ideas thank you so much

[@theartofwellbeing]

Love that!

[@4amjunkjournals]

Thank you for sharing these great ideas. I especially love the way you use your journals for communicating love to yourself, your children, and your husband. That is so special for all of you.

[@SunnShyne2]

I like that you showed that you are filling up diaries. I feel so guilty that I have so many diaries/calendars that I haven’t used.

[@mzjoz83]

What a great idea about having a notebook to write in for your kids!!

[@debrastandley8403]

Love the quotes notebook!!

[@BeeSteenable]

Lovely, so glad KZbin recommends! Your doodles are fantastic!

[@theartofwellbeing]

Many thanks!

[@kimberlyl9205]

Such fantastic ideas! I thought the journal of memories (love notes) for your kids were especially sweet! I wish I thought of that when my kids were little, but now I think I will start one for both to have upon my passing of my memories of their lives, and our respective lives together. Thank you for sharing this video! 💕

[@Brownbabygurl06]

These ideas are great, and your creativity is truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@inger870]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas 💕

[@theartofwellbeing]

So lad you like them. Thanks for your note too! Always a joy to receive.

[@SuperAvery10]

What lovely ideas you have! I’m watching this at 6:30 in the morning, and immediately after typing this, I’m going to start a book of love notes to my husband of 46 years. His first note will be waiting for him when he gets up. Thank you for that wonderful idea!!

[@theartofwellbeing]

Oh, so sweet of you and many thanks for sharing this. I loved to hear it. And congratulations on your 46 years with your husband. This is so beautiful to hear and how you still try to find those special things to make him happy. I'm so happy if this little idea inspired you.

[@feefee2]

Omg tfs this! I was thinking of wtiting a journal 2 give 2 my daughter later. Never thought about sharing it now with her! And letting her write 2 me! Also love the other ideas. Now i know what 2 do with my other journals i have sitting here.

[@agnesdebezenac]

So glad you like the ideas. Whenever I have something in there for my kids, I leave the book out on my desk, otherwise it's tucked away on the shelf... cause then they know there's a new little "love entry". When they leave me a note, they leave the book wide open for me to see, haha.

[@loelli_]

your handwriting is so satisfying😍

[@CarolynQui]

This is the way to go. I just love it.

[@adistractedplanner]

Thanks for sharing your journals. I love watching video of how others use their journal/ planners/ diaries. The notes journals to your kids and husband are great ideas.

[@theartofwellbeing]

Thanks so much for your kind comment.

[@SCBarbi]

Thank you! This is just the inspiration I was needing. I look forward to watching more of your videos 🥰

[@NHarts3]

This is one of the most comprehensive and useful of these notebook lists that I've seen so far! I would like to add one i learned from my mum: using an old year planner/diary as a recipe book!

[@agnesdebezenac]

Oh, you are so sweet, thanks for your kindest compliment. And that's such a great idea. I love it! Yes, yes that's a super one, for adding recipes. I actually even have one for that, haha. Maybe one day I might make a second video of these as I have a few other ideas I didn't get to add in here, it got too long, haha. Thank you for sharing this idea for others here!!

[@ajsinspiredlife665]

Fun ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@mmtpleasant]

So many great suggestions. Sentimental I absolutely LOVE the notes you write to your children and husband. ❤❤ visually I LOVE your crafting notebook! So beautiful!!

So sweet, thank you. Maybe I'll do a flip-through of my craft book one day.

[@marialauravidoz]

@@theartofwellbeing Looking forward to it!

[@hannahrose5739]

Very inspiring! I can see you have much going on in your head by way of organizing "head clutter" which might otherwise get in the way of accomplishing what you need to. Clearing up mental space by processing and then moving forward. Did not see a prayer journal. These books would be time-consuming, but so is social media...I think this might be a way of replacing hours spent on social media and inspire reading on solutions that have worked for other people. Thank you for the creativity around these journals!

[@agnesdebezenac]

Yes, a prayer journal would be a great idea for a pretty book too. Thanks for sharing.

[@craftyv3750]

Am a new subscriber! These are all great ideas. I have so many pretty empty journals collecting dust too but need to do the same. My favorite is your Doodles and Crafting Notebooks. Yours are so beautiful and creative. I look forward to more videos. Thanks so much for sharing.

Loved this. I have such a big notebook collection and often start scribing in one then go to another. This was helpful for inspiration, but also incorporating creativity, crafting and organisation. Thank you 🙏

[@theartofwellbeing]

You are welcome and I'm so glad if it gave you some ideas and inspirations. And happy filling up your books, haha.

[@RecruitMainR6]

Thank you so much for sharing these creative and inspiring ways to use notebooks. I just love the notes to your children and husband, we don’t always take the time to share all our thoughts and feelings but capturing them in this way is so special and a wonderful keepsake. I look forward to trying some of these ideas as I seem to collect pretty notebooks ☺️

[@theartofwellbeing]

Thank you for your kind compliments and I can't wait to hear how using up your beautiful books goes.

I love this so much. I am a journal person so I feel SO seen by this! 😂 I used to make the journals with my children, need to get back to it! I also have a brain dump journal! Lovely! Love the lists one too!

[@theartofwellbeing]

So nice to meet other journal people here! This is my tribe, haha. Keep journaling!

[@megreads9]

I love all your planners, you filled them with great ideas, give me the permission to use some of in my bullet journals.

[@theartofwellbeing]

So glad you like thes ideas and that they can be helpful to you in some way to fill up your own journals :).

[@LunchladyKim]

I love the idea of an art journal and have tried junk journaling but I like memory keeping idea better in a hobonichi a6. But this video showed me that I can have both, separately. So glad I came across this video

[@ritan5750]

Such beautiful notebooks and great ways to use them. Gould you tell me where you purchased the reflections promt and the light blue with silver gilded pages? Thank you.

[@agnesdebezenac]

Thank you! The reflections prompt book I bought from a shop called Action. The one with silver pages is not actually a notebook, but was an empty "sample" version of a book, that I got years ago from a bookfair, haha. So unfortunetaly it won't be found anywhere, so sorry. I'm wondering where to find journals with silver or gold on the edges, it does give it a real nice touch.

[@maggiedrouillard4272]

Thank you for sharing. There were loads of good ideas here. I purchased a day planner that I don’t need (since I already have one) but it was so beautiful! I thought I could cut it up- however it is too beautiful for that & I’ve not been able to bring myself to cut it! Now I have some great ideas for what I can do with it instead!❤

[@agnesdebezenac]

Ahhh, So happy to hear that you can us one of these ideas for your beautiful planner.

[@kigeerdink6662]

Awesome video, some ideas I use for my journals are a book tracker for the books I read, language learning, poetry, health journals, gardening and recipes, movie/TV journals, and music journals.

[@theartofwellbeing]

Thank you @kigeerdink6662 for sharing! Those are some awesome ideas for book journals. I'd love to start a reading journal sometime too. Do you keep all those in different books or together in one? So nice to link up with other journal fans here, haha.

[@kigeerdink6662]

@@theartofwellbeing Thankyou, i tend to keep them seperate by the library reading journal and bought reading journal.

[@theartofwellbeing]

@@kigeerdink6662 That's a great idea, keeping them near your reading library. I have books scattered all over my house and I sometimes forget what I write in each journal, cause I have so many, haha. Brings some excitement and playful surprise when I find something I've written in an odd random journal, haha. Just curious, with all your reading, have you ever attended a book club? It's something I'm looking into doing or starting, maybe with my own book, but it's new to me, especially if I were to do it online, so checking out if anyone has experience with that.

[@lklein9262]

Hi there, I was wondering, when do you give yourself the self-care coupons?

[@agnesdebezenac]

That's a good question. I usually try to treat myself to at least two to three coupons weekly. Sometimes it happens more on the weekend when there is a little less pressure on the accomplishment front, other times it's during the week when I have my little quiet times or coffee break. What I have learned about these is to just be flexible and not try to push them on myself or else I lose the benefit of well-being from them, haha. I just going with the flow and allow myself to be inspired to do a little something for myself. That's when I check out those love coupons and choose one. And I realise that it's also building a habit and it gets easier to do those little treats for yourself as time goes on. For me a change of mindset and a change your priorities is what worked like magic to finding more time, haha. Time didn't just suddenly stop or slow down for me but it was me who stopped and made the time. I hope this helps to answer your question somewhat. :)

[@katiebutler9478]

Love seeing what u do with books love the silver books where did u get it please

[@theartofwellbeing]

Thank you! The blue silver book will probably not be available anywhere as it was a blank "pre-print" sample book. So sorry.

[@FreuleinRottermeier]

Dear Agnes, I'm so glad for having landed here by chance: your examples are so inspiring and beautiful! I'm in love with the creative ideas planner, the first you showed. May I know the name? Greetings from Italy 🤗

[@agnesdebezenac]

Thank you for your kind comments, so sweet of you. The planner book actually doesn't even have a brand name, I'm so sorry. I just got it from a shop called Action.

[@KikiYK]

Do you remember the brand name of the first planner/journal you showed? Or where you got it from?

[@agnesdebezenac]

That's a good question, haha. I couldn't find the brand name on it anywhere. I bought it from a store in France called Action, where they have lots of pretty art materials. I'm sorry this is not very helpful... Next time I go to the store I'll ask about it :) in case they have more details on it.

[@KrizetteLadera-hk4ki]

Amazing idea hope i can do it too i really need it to take a note or writing in my journal but the problem is its hard to start or its me😊i loved your notebooks❤️

[@theartofwellbeing]

Thank you for your kind words. I know... it's true... the hard part is start starting. I started my little writing habit with just 5 minutes a day. That's all I could muster up, until I longed and desiredd for more, and then I found the time for it. Hope this encourages you a little.

[@Momofdom]

Not sure if I should thank you or curse you😏. I don't buy journals as often as I want because I know it wouldn't get used. Now I have a few ideas of journals to create because of you so I have no reason to stop myself anymore😅

[@theartofwellbeing]

Haha. I hope that's a good thing then! I'd have a house too full of journals if I got them as often as I'd want. It's only since a couple years now that I've started, but I'm already "lost" in this crazy fun space, haha. It's so cool to hear how others enjoy it too.

[@jmsl_910]

do you keep your "brain jump" journal? i also do morning pages/ brain dump, but i tear up the pages right afterwards

[@theartofwellbeing]

Thanks @julieslevine100 for that question, that's a good one, haha. Actually since I've only started journaling in the past 2-3 years and I don't have mountains of journals, for now at least, YES I do keep even my brain dump journals. I have gone back to them on a very few random occasions, just out of curiousity I guess, and it' was an interesting refresher of where I came from and how I've grown. Even though there is a lot of dreary stuff in there, I still find some random glimmers of inspiration hidden inbetween, that have even helped pull me out of difficult times, or a teensy winsy sparkle of an idea that I could try again... An "If I got over it then, I can do it again" motivating moment too... So, so far, I'm keeping them, especially because I know that no one else in my household is even interested or curious to peek at them, haha. Otherwise I do realize that there could be private stuff in there that you don't want anyone else to see. I figure that if my husband finds one, well then he'll know how I really feel. If one of my kids (now teens) find one, they'll maybe get an idea/example of how they could express a bit more of their feelings... haha. I don't know if this is at all helpful. Let me know if so. Thanks for writing. Always love getting other's comments and questions.

Yes, I am an introvert. But it's not like I sit and write all day. I work, I'm a mom, I'm a wife, I'm involved in my community... But writing is my little inspirational getaway... I craft or draw or write and it helps me handle and love all the rest. Not everyone has to write but I think everyone has something that "lights them up" inside.
