21 Fun Things To Fill Your Empty Notebooks With!

Do you have an obsession with cute notebooks and journals? If so, then this scenario may sound pretty familiar…

You walk into Target. You “pass” them (..you know good and well you give them the side eye). Those beautifully covered notebooks with nothing but cuteness all over the covers…resisting the urge to pick one up because you know what a weakling you are. You walk away. Yet, somehow you end up right back. Tossing one happily into your cart because it’s calling your name and really, I mean come on, who can resist a cute notebook? Sure, you have 5 empty ones sitting on your desk, but what’s one more?

…Okay so was that you?

And ya can try to justify it all day with “Maybe I’ll use it for this..” but does it really ever happen? Yeah, sometimes. But if we’re real with ourselves, 90% of the time it gets a spot right by the other ones we bought “just in case”. But it’s totally a waste and such a shame to have them go to waste!
