Soooo, where have you been all my life?!?!? No idea why I haven’t discovered you earlier, or why we are not best friends living next door to each other, but seriously girl, you made my week. I’ve been watching you non stop this whole entire week, or at least since the day this particular video showed up on my “we think you may want to see this video” feed that TH-cam curates for me. “Finally!”, I said, “my kind’a girl who talks and thinks like me and doesn’t care if her brain farts all over the place while creating beautiful amazing wonderful stuff.” I kid you not, your videos really brought a ray of sunshine in my heart and gave me the hope that people like us still exist. I have a reason to go back to my thrift stores, not that I need to cause I got way too much stuff already, and find little junk I can turn into treasures. Saw the little video you did on making matchboxes and it reminded me of this little chest of drawers I made when I was like six or seven years old. I think I may make a curiosity chest of drawers in some kind of book form. You see how my brain works? Yeah, I know you know. I am literally obsessed with boxes. And luggages. And train cases. And fine china tea cups. Oh and yarn... cause I crochet. Yeah. And I paint and draw and do digital art. I know what you’re thinking... this woman is crazy. Yup! I sure am a basket case of craziness, creative craziness that needs to be contained or not... Anyways, Nik, thanks for letting this crazy restless heartisan blabber on your comments feed. And more so, thank you for all the amazing videos you put up. Did I tell you I am also an art teacher? Yeah, I played your videos in class while the kids were working independently. They sure got a kick out of them even though they just listened to you. You got a boat load of fans in one sitting. Looking forward to more stuff you’re gonna make. Best, Mrs. C (aka Ligia)
A woman who could be my twin, you are! 😂❤😂
I really enjoy listening to you think thru a project. It is much easier to follow and to adapt when I know the process of the design.
I work from home and today is most assuredly a "Nik the Booksmith ALL DAY" kind of day. :)
Nik you continue to be a tonic. You are my kind of human. Poop is extremely funny in my family too. Nothing like a good poop joke or whatever to give one a tear rolling good belly laugh for us. Love this. Thanks so much. A new project is very imminent ... ⭐️
It’s so funny how I was just thinking about something like this, but really didn’t know how to make it. And then this popped up. Great minds think alike!
Beautiful work Nik! The librarian in me is always happy to give old books a second life. Not just for environmental reasons, but for giving them a second life as a beautiful piece of art. I just realized that for some reason my computer kept starting your video one past the beginning. That red book is just gorgeous!
I cannot believe that I came across this, for the last few weeks I have been crafting with my grandson. We have been making tiny books for a dolls house and I need to make a bookcase for them. Also I have been making a lapbook with Mike Deakin’s video and he mentioned you as his inspiration.
Wow, I mean WOW!!!!!!!, your creations are so fantastic, so awesome!!!! I just love what you do. Thank you for sharing your talents and beautiful creations!!!!
Sure miss these type of projects from you! Watching it all again!
I was in 4th or 5th grade, asked my dad if I could have another piece of cheese. (He used to get Tillamook shipped in in the 70s!) He deadpan looked at me and said, "Do you want to poop tomorrow?" 😂
Love your spontaneous use of household objects as spacers!! Because, why not???? Haha!
I have watched this multiple times. It is so very inspiring. The result is breathtaking!!! I now am watching again working up the courage to take this challenge on! Winter goal...
I love searching out the dictionaries from the recycling....that’s always a really good day! Hope you got your dragon wrangled and tangled in tricky knots so he can’t get loose....
I teach 10 and 11 year olds and can confirm that little boys definitely have a fascination with bodily functions and love to include them in stories that they write! Bodily functions aside I really love all your creative ideas and this one was no exception. Would love to be part of your community project!
You truly are a craftsman at what you do. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for forwarding on what you do so all can share.
THOSE WHO SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE GAIN MORE KNOWLEDGE. 💜
I love listening to your train-of-thought process! It’s like listening to to my own head....Thanks for inviting us on this ride!
Yes!! I believe I'm the FAN you're referring to that suggested this recently - The interactive junk journal lap books are so neat! Love where you're going with this ... Very excited to see your final result! I feel like a kid at the candy store! Thank you, thank you!
Excited to see the final cuz I don't even know what a lap book is and I don't need anymore crafting obsessions!! Ok maybe one more..
I'm A Cool Mom I hear ya but I'm a glutton for punishment lol you need to join dearjuliejulies junk journal. We just started a new one
Kelly Henkins I'll check it out
as we promote our obbsession.. feeding the struggle is more fun with others! 😜
Oh I dont NEED this but i WANT to make it so much. It's just the coolest thing. I saw the side bar one day and thought omg who wants a huge book like that, then i started searching. Nooooooo I cant believe this is a thing. Ugh now I'm searching for covers. And poop in my family is king...lol even at the dinner table many times. It's sad. Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Looking forward to watching the rest of the series AND mini books and a shelf... And also, because you asked and because I am very excited about it, over the weekend I finally completed my first junk journal kit! After about two years of learning photoshop and working up my courage, I finished it and published it! Felt like a big moment for me. Thank you for all your inspiration and encouragement!
Tons of fun! You are far more valuable than you give your self credit for. You re ton O fun and brilliant and creative and willing to make it happen.. you go darlin'!
I remember getting stationary sets in book form like this as a kid around 10 to 12. I loved them. They usually had the paper envelopes and a place for pen. I believe one I had, had an address book on one side. They were great to use while sitting outside and writing letters because the inside of the book made a great writing surface. Thank you, for taking me down memory lane.
You just crack me up with your "poop" jokes! Us being a farm family we call "Normal Bodily Functions Talk" as we share our jokes over the dining room table! LOL!!!! You are such a wonderful instructor! Love your videos Nik!!! Stay healthy Dragon Slayer!!!
As someone who has never made anything like this creation, I find this video spellbinding. Thank you, Nik, for opening my eyes to a new type of project. Cheers, Ardith
You are always a delight to listen to!
So if you don’t mind, I’ll just sneak into your mastermind and sit in the front row quietly enjoying how your brain works .. just 5 minutes, Nik .. I promise not to disturb you 🙏🏼 I’ll even wait to give you a standing ovation till I’m out. I salute you and your overload talent 🙌🏼 💗
Love this idea!!! Can't wait for the next step 🥰🤗
Super happy to see this video! Looking forward to the next part. Thank you, Nik!
Oh! I haven't even finished the video and i am so excited about the idea of using old encyclopedias as ephemera holders is brilliant!
Oh my word, this is going to be beautiful Nik!
Great ! Just what I needed to get me thinking a bit. Waiting impatiently for the next bit - thankyou for sharing this lapbook.
Very interesting you have my attention, I enjoy watching you create and the funny chit chat cracks me up. Looking forward to part 2.
Cute! I can see where you’re going with this, I love the idea! 💜😁👍🏻📚
Goodness. That is a gorgeous start to the lapbook. I can’t wait for the next step!
Wow!!! I’m only a few minutes in and in love with it already!!! Fold out flaps!!! Yay!!! Beautiful covers!!!
Love this idea! I purchased an old set of encyclopedias from a thrift store, mainly for the embossed covers with art deco graphics. Wondered what to do with them, and now I know! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your process.
I got a whole set of those encyclopedias recently! I’m so excited to see how this turns out. I might start working on putting something like this together. I like the idea of making something like this and using them for organizing supplies. Thanks for your inspiration!
I love watching the creative process and listening to your thoughts as you work it through. Thanks for sharing
So fun:) That Ex Libris is from my hometown Helsingborg in the south of Sweden! And what a lovely project1 Thanks NIc, lots of love from Sweden!
I'm glad you explained the concept of a lap book. I'd never heard of those and all the ideas you gave for possible uses - oh my!!! I'm really jazzed! I esp like the idea of a travel stationary/journal kit!
I was at our used book store yesterday to buy some book so I could give this a try. And not evening knowing it I bought the same encyclopedia with the embossed cover. Lady sold me all of them for 20$, can’t wait to get started.
Love this idea. I have been looking for an ephemera storage idea! This looks like it!
I learn something new and valuable every time I watch you! Thank you!!
OMG! This looks so cool...so far! I just love the way your crafty mind works!
Love this whole series-going back and looking at these for the second time and making along with you
Hello Nik, I love watching you create and chit chat. I am usually working on a project while listening to your videos and always find myself giggling with you. I love how you create, some theory and some winging it. :) Never had heard of a lap book, and now it goes on the list, thanks! Much love
Loved this Nik. I’m still in lockdown! So this is a brilliant new project to attempt. Your work is amazeballs!! 😃 thank you
SO fun and inspiring to see your process. Thanks for sharing!
OMG you always make my brain explode with ideas!
Fabulous idea for storing ephemera! Can’t wait to have a go. You are truly an inspiration and your enthusiasm is contagious. Love your videos and looking forward to part 2. Thanks Nik. Xx
This is very exciting. So many possibilities. Love what you are doing. On to the next video :).
This is AWESOME!!! Also, love hearing you talk about growing with boys. They can be so much fun. Personally, my brothers were jerks they weren't fun at all(not really, loved them lots) but my boys were more fun, especially my son Zachary. When we lived in Alaska during the winter, he and his friend, Liam figured out that if you farted outside , and it was cold enough, the fart would kind of freeze and not give out a bad odor. But the second it got a little bit warmer then out comes the smell!!!! So he and his friend would fart into their caps and then quickly open the back door and throw it in the house. It was just it was HILARIOUS!! Real stinky, too. 🤣🤣🤣
Omg I'm so excited to see the end result, this sounds awesome
I love this idea. I can’t wait to see how you will do the piece you said was going to have eyelets!
I like this project! Looking forward to the next video!
What a great project...you are the best and I love your stuff. I'm sold on this one...will be looking for books to use in the near future!
Bonjour Nik, Je suis en admiration de votre création de lapbook dont j'ai regardé quelques unes des différentes parties. Je vous remercie du retour de votre mail. C'est une pure merveille, bravo et merci pour votre partage inspiratif. Belle journée à vous et à très bientôt. Amicalement de France Anÿtha
Love this! Hurry up with the next video, I’m so excited to see how it turns out!
I am gonna binge-watch the rest of this series! I have a set of encyclopedias that my dad purchased back in the 70s when I was a kid! What a great way to use them.
Genius! Love the beautiful encyclopedia cover! TFS the inspiration and creativity!
Oooooh my goodness, this would make fabulous multi system game master screens!!!!!!!!!!
You are an inspiration! I love your style and wit. It makes "working" so much more fun. A new Nik is always the highlight of a day. Thanks for all you share.
Well this was the highlite of my creative day, Nik. Will enjoy the next bits. Bunches of smiles, Carol
Beautiful book cover. Looking forward to seeing the rest.
Yaaaaa!!!! I have completed this section ☺ pt 1 done and dusted...thanks Nik ♥
I'm loving this Nik when you doing part 2. This is cool
You crack me up girl, but only because you remind me of myself. Can't wait to see this finished it is such a cool idea. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful, fantastic idea. Enjoy watching the artistic mind unfold. Truly a professional book making artist, such an amazing world we get to live in and explore, continue to enjoy what you do, as the rest of us enjoy too. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Wonderful ideas. Great to see you working and plotting creative things.
💕thank you Nik for all you do
Oh My! Love this idea. Thanks Nik!!!
Loving this so much. Sooooo many possibilities!!!!! TFS
Very much enjoying this series, so thank you!
Loving this so far Nik, great idea, looking forward to the next part. Hugs Susanna xx
Love this Nik. Can't wait to see where this goes xx
Love this idea! Can't wait to see what's next!
Ohhhhh ❤❤❤ that's good stuff!! Can't wait to see it finished 😁
It’s great Nik, with a good purpose when all said & done ! Im really enjoying all of your stories, does remind me of my childhood … 4 girls … 3 boys and loads of neighbourhood kids the same age .
Look forward to seeing your next steps on your Lap book .
This is too cool! I have made many a lapbooks for my daughter when she was younger, but with file folders. I am so excited to see your finished lap book. It will be stellar!!
Fabulous! Can't wait for part 2
Oh I love this idea, I've never even heard of a lap book . I will be on the look out at the second hand shops now lol xx
This is so cool, my definitely my next project is going to be a portable kit! I made a fabric pouch with a load of pockets and pen/pencil/glue etc. holders for my travel journal for a recent trip but had some problems with toating around the extra bits and pieces. Such a great idea to have the eyelets in the middle as you can tie down a signature and attach it to another book when completed, so the signature stays safe and all the bits n bobs needed are right there!!
You are my favorite artist to 'wang it' with! LOVING this concept....eagerly awaiting the next steps.
Fun idea! I’m looking forward to your next video!
I love the idea of organizing your ephemera in these books!
Love, love LOVE your channel!!
Thank you for this video, it is excellent and I will watch the series. One of the things I notice about these lapbooks, is how versatile they are. I think they would also make excellent little books inside a junk journal for notes, pictures and ephemera. Your videos are really great, I am happy I found you, I will watch more and thanks for the supply list. I'll use it when I purchase your suggestions on Amazon.
I always enjoy your videos and chats. Thanks for sharing!
I love your work!! !!😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you for showing us to do this. I am going to give it a whirl
I had no idea what a lap book was. Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to watching the process.
What a fun project! Gonna do this! 💕
I was awake sooooo early so I tuned into your channel. Love this idea. Awesome. And indeed, lavatorial humor is the order of the day in my family. Hahaha! My son and I cry with laughter over anything about gas!!!!!! I made my first book cover ever a few days ago. I’m now hooked!!!! Love your work. Thanks again from South Africa 🇿🇦 p.s. you are funny! You make me laugh 😂
Great idea Nik....I don't know if people still write letters on paper but i like this concept...I can't wait for the following videos....TFS
Have a good day....or night....^^ and take care of you
Christine
Dont worry, I raised 3 boys and bodily functions were always hilarious. No matter where. No matter when.
Love this idea
👍❤ A new idea, how great!
I did not know a lapbook yet,
but I will try to get one too.😊
Greetings from Germany
Loved this the first time I saw it and now loving it again for the 10th time LOL already made a couple of these love them so much going to make some more thanks Nick
OMG! I’ve wanted to make a lap book but I don’t memory keep and had no idea what to do with one. Then you just start spewing out ideas! I wish I was that creative
I think I see what you 're doing with this lap book. I really like it!
Thank you for not taking this down. I keep referring to this.
