Planner and Journal Updates | Hobonichi Weeks, Passport TN, Chic Sparrow Creme Dupe 

I have a line from one of your earlier videos stuck in my mind: 'I don't want to be busier than one page.' Words to live by!

So sorry to hear about your recent illnesses. Praying for your continued healing and health friend! 💕💕💕

Oh no Sarah, you have been through the wringer😔 Glad to hear you are feeling better! Love your covers you make as always. Thanks for sharing.

You sound like you have had an awful time health wise. Glad to hear you are feeling on the mend. Bless you. Love your content especially your weeks. Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your gall bladder and the pancreatitis. I've heard that pain is hell. But, yay for your new leather!! It's beautiful.

Wow this video has a lot to take in. We missed you and after hearing about where you’ve been, I’m so happy you are doing and feeling better! Hopefully smooth sailing from this point forward. 😊

Oh my gosh, how scary. Speedy recovery! And hoping that’s the last of the weeks entries that start with “ER”!

Oh gosh you poor thing, but glad you’re on the mend. And your nails look fabulous! What sweet hubby!

I am so sorry to hear about your gallbladder problems. I’ve had mine out too and it was so red and so inflamed. The doctor could not believe I was walking around with it inside me. I had tried to tell people before the ER but they just said it was heartburn, I’m so glad to hear you’re better and you’re going to feel way better without that again it is a horrific horrific pain. I puked like Linda Blair.

Glad you are on the mend! I had my gallbladder removed and I ask my surgeon for a few of the stones to take home! 🤣 I wanted to see what was making me feel like I was being stabbed. 🤪

I'm so glad you're doing better! Those are some scary health situations you're in. Kudos to your hubby for the special surprise. Your journals are lovely!

So glad you have recovered and that things didn’t get any more complicated than they already were. What happened the second time could have been far more serious. Scary. Glad you are getting better. Nice to see you back.

Ugh, I’ve had gallstones and pancreatitis, so I feel for you - having them back to back sounds rough! Love your planners, thanks for sharing!

So glad you're back and healing. I liked this video and learning about different leathers and what you do with your notebooks. I'd love it if you did another video on making a cover. I'd also be really interested in knowing about your faith if you feel like you could share it. Take care! ❤

Gallstones are not to be messed with! (Other than getting rid of them.) I had that same surgery about 20 years ago and had no idea what was going on with me but had never felt so ill in my life. I didn't have the bonus escaping stone, though. I'm so glad your doctors took quick action both times! My first CS cover was a chocolate creme folio. Delicious.

My sister had her gall bladder out, so I know it's nothing to mess around with. I had kidney stones and it made me sick the way you were talking about. I actually made it into the hospital (I had ralphed at home before going) but as soon as they had me on the gurney I asked for a barf bag. The young lady actually asked why I needed one. I told her if I didn't get one soon someone would be mopping. Someone handed me one over her shoulder. I laugh when I think about now, but I was not feeling the humor then.

Thank you for sharing!

So glad you are on the mend..being sick is no fun. Love watching your videos ❤

Bless you for this video! I love the creme TNs from CS, but they're too pricey for me. There is a Tandy Leather in my area, so knowing I can pick out the hide I want and make it to my specifications for *multiple* TNs is so, so, SO nice.

This is a lovely video. Simplifying is where it's at!! Glad you are healing and feeling better 😊

Love your videos 😊

So Great to see you back! It’s Great to hear that you’re feeling better! 😊 Love the new ‘cream’ tn!!! Three questions: 1. do you know if Tandy or another leather shop has the CS Austin leathers? 2. If so what do they call them? 3. Where do you get your water buffalo hides? Thanks! Love your content! 😊

Oh Sarah! I’m glad you’re on the mend. Take care 💕

Yay another video! Thanks for sharing the name of the leather, I really want some creme brulee but it's like $300! I need to find some in New Zealand and hopefully a little more affordable! Hope that your ER visits have come to an end now x

Glad to know you are on the healing journey, being there- done that! The pain is unreal. Like you, 2023 has been a hit or miss with my journals. Lots of empty pages. Stay healthy.

I LOVE my narrow black beauty creme from CS, so I’m glad your narrow is in creme too ❤

I LOVE this chocolate leather. I need to locate something like this for myself. Gotta love "hospital adventures." Hopefully you're feeling a little more together again. That kinda stuff can easily take the wind out of your sails.

Happy to hear you are on the mend. Glad you got the treatment and services you needed. Love your new journal cover. I’d like to try making my own….need to find a local leather supplier.

Hi Sarah! I know this is an older video. Hope you will still see my question. I switched to an A6 Day-Free completely because of YOUR video, back when you received your first one and were really excited to use it. It doesn't appear that you're using the Day-Free anymore. Can you say why? What about it didn't work out for you? Thank you so very much! (And I hope your health is much improved since you made this video. ❤

OMG Sarah, I'm so glad you got through your medical scare, and you will be fine. I had my gallbladder removed some years ago but the good news is, it has been good for weight loss too LOL. All I ask is to be mindful of internal symptoms. Not to sound depressing but my best bud that recently passed away obviously ignored his pancreatitis that turned into severe liver disorder, and he let it go on too long, so the disorder ended up taking his life. Love all you share and your journal stories with your sweet finds. Just wish I could be as creative as you. Anytime you want to consider a trade or your darling passport, I never used my A6 July Maverick; it still sits brand new, never used in its bag in storage LOL. I should probably just send it to you. Luv, Hugz, and Kisses always my sweet dear friend. Cynthia ❤🙏✍

I love that you make your covers! I'm curious -- why do you prefer the holes for the strings to be vertical along the spine? I can't decide which is "better." Thanks!

Beautiful >>>>> Thank you

I am so sorry about your emergency surgery! Sounds terrifying! I have been dealing with a large gall stone for about 18 months. I am terrified of having surgery and any aftermath issues down the line. I manage things with a low fat diet. How are you feeling now?
