A year ago, I was living in Panama and starting teensygreen the only way I knew how - by emailing, contacting and searching for people to connect with. I met Emily, creator of subu, inc. handmade recycled notebooks through a crafting website. Since she has the word “recycled” in her offerings, I jumped on it. Being a notebook fanatic, I not only ordered some custom notebooks from her, but launched my very first giveaway. Emily must have had a huge email circle, because I couldn’t believe how many responses I received after only writing for a couple of weeks! (It helps that her notebooks are no less than awesome.)
subu’s notebooks rock, not only because I can carry them in my bag, but they have an artsy vibe to them so even my grocery lists seem cooler. Emily has really expanded her line, with many different designs and sizes. The best part is she uses discarded printer paper, so you may find some quirky paper inside. But that’s all part of the fun. You can also get them customized, from the color of the cover to the image printed on it, from words to flowers, to, um, Bill Clinton. These are great for teens looking for funky additions to their school supplies, but you may want to keep them for yourself!
This week, two winners will each received two subu notebooks each! Just leave a comment with an answer to this tough question - which subu notebook will you be jotting notes down in if you could? This giveaway is open until next Monday, September (!) 1st at midnight, PST. Good luck!
This contest is now closed! Keep an eye out for more giveaways soon!
Sting like butterfly is super cute.
I’d totally be jotting notes down in the “wtf” notebook. It’s green in every way - and that’s my fave color!
That’s harder to answer than you’d think. I love the olive green one with the tree on the very last page…and the toaster (hunka hunka) is strangely appealing. These would make great Christmas presents I’m thinking.
Oh, I would be so happy to win the colorless green ideas notebook, and then I would inscribe the inside with the quote “colourless green ideas sleep furiously”, and I would fill it with similar wonderful quotes and sayings, and I would smile every time my glance happened upon it.
I am new here, and enjoying myself immensely!
I’d be jottin’ all up in this one’s grill:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14327750
because it has the word “Amoeba” in the title. and my mom sings that Stevie Wonder ‘Sir Duke’ song “You Can Feel it All over (people)” as “You can feel it all over amoebas”
Yay!
i’m pretty excited about this notebook:

Hooray for recycled!

This one cracks me up. Give aways ROCK!
Those are so cool! I loooove the sakura notebook and the pink recycled notebook with the brown bird.
I’m in the process of getting my second degree and classes start soon, so I hearted her shop! You never know when you’ll need a funky new notebook. Thanks for the links and for the great giveaway! (o:
if I really had a choice, I’d say all are my favourite, but seeing as you’re forcing me to decide, I’d say the “wtf” notebook. fo sho.
The large burning amber!!
- love that color!
oh i love these. i think my favorite is the home sweet home one, followed by the purple one with the white tree.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9803005
She started her freshman year of college today and when I saw her yesterday she told me she was bewildered at being on her own. Writing her thoughts/feelings/rants in that journal would be an awesome way for her to not feel so homesick!
love ALL of them! but I’m partial to the brighter colors. Love all the oranges. Love the pink with brown bird.
would have to be shoe fetish. I have been collecting glass shoes forever. Great notebooks, and a wonderful shop
I really like the olive green notebook with the brown tree!
I love “hawt” or “playa”, they are tied as my favorites. It is actually tough to choose just one, and getting some custom made would be awesome for holiday gifts!
Crap! Accidentally hit the enter button too quick *blush*

LOVE THEM!!! The custom recycled notebook or control freak. i love the idea that they are made with discarded printer paper…it will be fun to look what is on the flip side. (the voyer in all of us). last year when i photocopied at my daugher’s school,( before recycling took place) i’d take HANDFULLS of discarded photocopies, cut them and staple them. i’d have mini pads around the house. sooooo, if i’m chosen to win, at least now my pads will have fantastic, funky covers!
Oh my, those notebooks look so wonderful! Fall is almost arriving and i have a thing for acorns, so i must choose the Khaki Acorns Recycled Notebook. Love it!
WTF is awesome.
