I love your channel and all the ideas you come up with. You are such a hoot, you make it so much fun to watch. You explain every thing so good, even I can follow. Lol ! TFS
I’m just finding this years after you filmed it. I love it. I’m binging all the “Nik the Booksmith” videos that I can! You’re personality is so engaging and I love your sense of humor. I also appreciate the little picture of you in the top left corner so we can see you as you work. E everyone else just waved their hands. It nice to watch you as you work and put a face to the voice.
8 yr old granddaughter watch this with me and wanted to make one and start mailing to each other. Just finished it for the whole family. 2 grandsons, 10 and 14. Made little notebooks for each personality. Mailing tomorrow. Big Daddy even added a letter to the folio. What fun! Thanks Nik for the inspiration.
I can’t wait to make this. This is great for any of my male family members, they all love getting a “Barb” card. This would be so special to make and perfect for anyone you know going on an Honor Flight. They get “mail call” on the flight. I made him a large card tri-fold, kind of junk journal, for storing memorabilia from the trip; he loved it so much that he had his daughter frame it in a shadow box for safekeeping. My brain is on overload for all the possibilities. Thank you so much for such a great idea. Barb Pacific NW
Lol we said scoash at the same exact time. My my girl you must lay awake at night with Pictures of envelopes and what nots dancing around your head at night. Fantastic shipping envelope. I’m amazed. Loved to see you in person. Thanks for a great great video. I just had a long surgery and you have kept my mind busy while I heal.
Finally dawns on me you are talking about the old round Robbin letters. One person would send a letter to a family member who would add in their letter and send it on to the next, each person reading all the letters and adding their own till it got back to the originator. I think the letter went around twice, and you took out your own, when it came back around the second time. So everyone got to read them all. Or at least I think that is how it worked. I think they did that before the telephone. Fun project!
Nik I totally LOVE this, it's fantastic, and stunning and I don't think I'd want to trust it with the British Postal service. Thank you so much I really, really appreciate your time and trouble bringing this to all of us. xxxx Mags
I just love this project! I have drawers full of these at work and don't need them since all files are online now. I can't wait to try this and send some awesome snail mail! LOVE LOVE LOVE your stuff, Nik!
This is a great idea to make a little family history folio for the children of my niece who passed away from cervical cancer. Thank you for the idea!!! And as always, I love your sense of humor, Nik.
You are entirely brilliant! Thank you for your kind words regarding safety in the storm. I’m just above Columbia, SC and prepared for the rain and winds but hoping and praying with and for everyone experiencing the worst impact that we all stay safe. 💕
How did I miss seeing this??? It is a perfect idea for making something to contain correspondence from my grandpa's brother-in-law, Nils - from the late 1800's until his ship was sunk in 1917! They are all beautifully written, unfortunately, in Norwegian, so understanding them is a bit tedious! He came here to Portland many times, so it is fascinating to hear his ship was tied up at the still-standing, grainery! Oh, and as you were assembling that little label, saying you were going to be putting brads on it - I kept yelling to put the brads on before glueing the label down! Too little and a month too late! LOL! I still have quite a few old-time mailing labels and a lot of stamps my grandpa gave me back in the 1950's. I know, use them - they really have little value now... you will get through to me one of these times!
I thought this video was great! I've always wanted to make something like this. Now I know I can get instructions from your video. I also live in Colorado, but I live on the Western slope. I really enjoy your videos.
I keep coming back to this video, I’ve made several of these and they are so much fun to make and send! I can relate to the elusive bone folder. Mine hides from me all the time! How it is consistently able to do that when I haven’t even moved from my spot always amazes me! Ha, ha! And my score tool has also mastered that trick!
Very cool. I'm thinking how cute would it be to make these Christmasy to send to the North Pole but maybe as Christmas cards. Could have a wish list inside, children's naughty or nice list and well this could go on and on. TFS.
i'll be making a trip to scotland and cornwall at the end of this month... with just a bit of tweaking this would make an awesome way to document my trip and save all those receipts and pamphlets that accumulate! love your vidoes ~ tfs!
Love it. Definitely going to do this. Anything made from file folders or hanging file folders is cooool. Good stuff. And love the vellum envie with the half circle punch out sew on for a tab. Brilliant! TFS!
I just love this lil envelope pocket and i love your idea of sending something to someone and then having them send it along to someone else and so on and so on :) i think that would be so fun. Sending a few lil fun treats to friends along the way, stickers of course because they are my favourite. Thanks so much . I really enjoy your channel and the fun you have creating.
I was watching this on my tv, which is so great for me, new to dish. anyway, I did have to get to my computer to hit like and share. Very cool project.
Nik, I have really enjoyed your project for today, I will have to have a play now as it looks like a lot of fun. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I have to say someone sent me the pocket slots and I wondered what they were so it was fatabulous that you showed me, bless you ~ Lady Anne x
This is so cute! I'm thinking how cute would it be to do one for a friend from Santa and put vintage Chritmas ephemera and several gift cards to favorite spots in it.
I found some folios at the thrift store! I was so excited!! I have made 2 of the bill ledgers that u did a tutorial on. I made one of them as a bible study folder for my daughter- in -law with lots of tags and etc. She loved it! So thank you for all your teachings. You hand the paper addiction is what got me into trying to make journals. Hopefully I will be able to make some as great as yours someday.
So cool I love this. You could also do postage marks like it's been in mail this whole time, make the outside kinda shabby and use a wax stamp seal somewhere inside. I have a Tim holtz folder that resembles what you made out of file folder. You have inspired me thanks a bunch !!!😵😂☀❤
This is a cool idea Nik! Thanks bunches 😘😘🇨🇦🇨🇦 and yes we are definitely praying for our neighbors to the south in regards to this awful storm coming!!
Nik, I enjoyed creating with you today. I didn't have a hanging file folder so substituted with a manilla file folder as this was what I had out in my crafting space. It's probably not firm enough to actually post but it enabled my to craft along at home and that was just as much fun.
Hi Nik - I am kind of new to you channel and you may have already done this but I would love a favorite tools/products video or post. You are so proficient but not necessarily orthodox and I love that you adapt. Many others are selling and very product specific. Don’t grudge them an income but love your attitude and manner about creating. Thanks for all your creativity and humor! Lynn
I also LOVE tickets. I recently found some on Pinterest from Disneyland and tickets for milk. Love of tickets are a thing I guess. Could be worse 😸. Keep up the awesome work!
I want you to adopt me as your penpal, cause i lost Donna as a best friend long ago, cause she didnt tape down her brads. Yep too many untaped Brads can keep your life in journalling limbo. I just live for your quotes, best parts of your tutorials.
I need to make this for my nephew when he goes on his mission for the LDS church he will love it! I already made him a travel themed junk journal that he adored! I used Tim Holtz paper and grudged it up all “ Nik” style 😂 oh also you need Merch like shirts that say “ gotta do it right Donna” and one that says “ you know whatever , I’m not your mom” and of course one that says “thingamabob, because why not”
This would also be cute as a Stationary , Gift. Thanks so much for Sharing. Or a Wedding invitation with a Couples Photo / the written invitation card, and other embellishments. 👍👍👍👍
“Don’t want them to get their panties in a wad”! Oh my..I couldn’t stop laughing! Thanks for that, Nik. I’m home waiting for test results on a health issue, feeling apprehensive about the outcome, then you made that comment! Hilarious and a huge tension breaker for me! Great project too! Blessings, Mary
Nik, you’re so awesome 😎 I really love 💕 this folder/envelope you’ve made, it’s so stinking cute and stunning......You’re so clever and talented.... And I really love 💕 some of the terminology you use, it’s really makes me smile 😃 xx Mags

I love this so much. Love the quote" Do what you're gonna do, I'm not your mom." You're a lot of fun and so real. Thank you. I'm loving your channel
This is a great idea to make a little family history folio for the children of my niece who passed away from cervical cancer. Thank you for the idea!!! And as always, I love your sense of humor, Nik.
I love it!
What would be so cute would be if it had stationary supplies in it. Like stamps, envelopes, post cards, etc. The possibilities are endless!
This mailing envelope is precious Nik. You are genius ma'am. Thanks for sharing another great project...hugs from Arizona...;)
You are entirely brilliant! Thank you for your kind words regarding safety in the storm. I’m just above Columbia, SC and prepared for the rain and winds but hoping and praying with and for everyone experiencing the worst impact that we all stay safe. 💕
I love this! I'm a school teacher who will retire at the end of the year and now I know what I can do with all my files! Whoo hoo! Thank you!
How fun! When I was in Denver I visited the Molly Brown house. It's was amazingly gorgeous.
Love this! I have two pen pals that *really* need to hear from me, and sending a wonderful folio like this might help them forget how late it is :)

I love to use file folders and hanging folders, so this is great! Thanks!

I love this, I'm a new subby and I can't stop watching. I just started on this creative journey and I have learned so much from you! Thank you
So cute! Thanks Nik! As always, a fun video to watch and an awesome project to boot!
I found some folios at the thrift store! I was so excited!! I have made 2 of the bill ledgers that u did a tutorial on. I made one of them as a bible study folder for my daughter- in -law with lots of tags and etc. She loved it! So thank you for all your teachings. You hand the paper addiction is what got me into trying to make journals. Hopefully I will be able to make some as great as yours someday.
I love this idea... I think I may use it to send as a Birthday or Holiday Card, filled with goodies...Thanks so much for sharing.
This is very nice. I love wath you did with the file folder.
So cool I love this. You could also do postage marks like it's been in mail this whole time, make the outside kinda shabby and use a wax stamp seal somewhere inside. I have a Tim holtz folder that resembles what you made out of file folder. You have inspired me thanks a bunch !!!😵😂☀❤
Love this! Have to look through my stash. Probably have some of these hanging folders. Your attention to detail is always amazing.
Oh, I didn’t have a file folder so used a Tennessee Pride sausage and biscuit box that was going in the trash. Worked great.
So cool, and creative! Love , like, ALL your stuff! The "technical terms" are the bomb!! Doomiflagy, gets me everytime!
On point with your editing. Great project. Thank you.
Hello Nik....I love this project, don't have to go buy some expensive things, you've done all the work for us, easy peasy...thanks girl....
Yup, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks much. I am going to make one!
This will definitely be how I send some love to my college Junior. Nik, another great tutorial. Happy Crafting!
Actually got one made. Plan on making a couple others for college coeds. Thanks again. Will look for you this weekend! xoxo

I love this, I am going to make my son son a birthday card in this style.
Such a beautiful project, but I still would have to cover it, wouldn't trust the mail with that beauty. TFS your wonderfulness
Nik, I enjoyed creating with you today. I didn't have a hanging file folder so substituted with a manilla file folder as this was what I had out in my crafting space. It's probably not firm enough to actually post but it enabled my to craft along at home and that was just as much fun.
Can't wait to make one! I have a purple hanging file waiting to be repurposed! Thank you for sharing, love your videos!
Absolutely ADORABLE. Now I know what to do with all those hanging file folders that I have. Thank You for sharing!

Really great project. I happen to have loads of those hanging files as well.
I want you to adopt me as your penpal, cause i lost Donna as a best friend long ago, cause she didnt tape down her brads. Yep too many untaped Brads can keep your life in journalling limbo. I just live for your quotes, best parts of your tutorials.

Cat Slade - I want the one that says “I’m not your mom” in giant letters.
this would be perfect for your nephew on his mission. Good luck to him and I hope he is going to someplace wonderful. So proud.
I would love to wear the "Not your mom" one...I'm a janitor in a middle school. lol Great ideas Cat Slade!!!!!
I agree, I'll take a coffee cup and tee shirt with each quote! Bring on the Booksmith merch!
