A word of warning ... My masseuse says not to have a massage when you are ill. Your lymph system is already overworked from being sick. I ignored her advice and didn't tell her that I wasn't feeling well one time and I felt horrible a few hours after the massage and for the rest of the day. BTW, I love your content. I'm so glad that I found your channel.
I hope the soup and massage works and you are feeling better soon. Your lapbook is total scrumptious gorgeousness! I think instead of a clone, maybe you need a time turner or a magician's apprentice to help bring all of your marvelous ideas to fruition. Then we, in the TH-cam universe, could watch you get twice as much done. You're like our squirrel, Nik, only better than Hammy. Tfs.
ooooooh a Time Lord! I'll take the 11th Doctor, please 😊👍 He was most closely aligned with my personality...we'd never get anything done, but it would sure be fun!
Oh my! Spoons! I use to get so discouraged trying to share with others why I can’t get going. I need to find that story so everyone knows. Having a disease like MS (in my case) that spoon story really helps me explain to others about my disease. Nik. You just encouraged me and you probably didn’t know! Thanks.
Big love to you, Miss Pam 💖 the struggle IS real, but I am always so very encouraged by how all of you who deal with this kind of thing are always so positive. Thank you so much for that!
I hope you feel better soon. I used to be a massage therapist. Wait till you feel better before you go get a massage. When you do get the massage you might feel icky after the massage, but drink lots and lots of water afterward and it will flush all the impurities out of your system. And then you will feel great. I love the the see through pockets you added. Everything you've been adding to this lap book is so great. Amazing ideas. Thank you.
ok, will do! The lady I was referred to does lymphatic drainage, too. But, I was told she's not a brutal, bruise you all over kind. That is what I need...I bruise like an over ripe peach o.O
Wow, Nik! Just WOW!!! I’m LOVING this series! I love all your work! This lap book is SO FUN! I even dream about it!😂 Sure hope you continue to feel better.
You worked so fast today- I couldn’t keep up!😉. It’s a sampler of fabulous bookish goodies! Love how yours is all coordinated- mine is looking a bit busy but I am so loving this series!
Loving this series! I am planning a lap book for a trip we have planned. Im always picking up pieces when we travel to stuff it in. The gypsy discontinued paper you turned into a pocket reminded me of an old fashion tv just turn it upside down. Just add a picture instead of acetate and maybe put some knobs on it 😁
Can't tell you how much I'm loving this project Nik!!! so many great ideas that I can't wait to try! Thank you, thank you for sharing your genius with us!
You should use your Cricut. I LOVE mine. The print then cut I think you will really love takes away the fussy cutting and does it for you. I made a ton of ephemra for Christmas boxes so much fun.
I have to say your tutorials are amazing. Your projects are amazing. Everything is amazing. But the thing I appreciate the most is your professional editing. On some other you tube videos I have to wait while somebody goes to another room to get something. And I just watched a video of someone yawning through out their tutorial. Sorry, on a rant today. Thanks for all the instruction you have given over the years.
Want you feeling Great Nik ! It’s a good thing to have a massage, good for body & soul. Thanks for the soup recipe looks & reads yummy. Love this Lapbook … thanks ❤️
Coming along just great Nik ! Enjoying this so much. Hope you feel much better by now. Never heard 'spoons' before. It was always run out of steam ( still is) Thanks for all the sharing you do !
Hello Nik! Sooooo enjoying your videos on this lapbook. Wonderful! Just a FYI...I retired from massage therapy a few years ago (25 yrs) and I would always tell people if they are looking for a therapist is to 1. ask your those who you respect greatly for referrals for therapists. (Cuz there are so many different types. ie: swedish, deep tissue, etc.) and 2. make sure the therapist have been established for years. That is where you will find the better ones to fit your muscular needs is only by experience. Well good luck Nik.
You are a hoot! Love your videos! This lap book is getting better & better! Thanks! PS massage are a must! I have had massages for years & years! It is good for your health! I a retired now so stress has basically been eliminated but......I still need them! Always a request for birthdays & Christmas! And I got good family cause that’s what they get me! So blessed! Looking forward to next video! Feel better!
what a fun and informative series! thanks for sharing your art and spontaneity! ....the word 'sticky' ... all the variations you've assigned it will never be the same! 😂 two x's
Nic, I am absolutely loving this series. My in laws are starting a new journey in their lives and will be traveling for 7 months if the year. I am going to try to make something similar but customize it for their needs. Thank you so much...you, my dear, are a genius!!
I always love watching your videos! This project has so many possibilities so thank you for sharing😊. I am so sorry you don’t feel well and I do hope you feel better soon! I take elderberry drops or tablets and Airborne when I start to feel yucky...always works for me!
Love this project Nik! I am making one right along with you and your fabulous instruction :) Hoping you feel better :) Sending you lots of love and healing :)
I copied your soup recipe. Sounds so very good. Looking forward to making it. Your doing such a great job with he lap book with so many ideas I haven’t seen before. Can’t wait to try some of them for myself and watching more of your videos. I got your name from Nina Ribera and Bohemian (can’t r member the rest of her site name).
Hello Nik....I love these pockets .I didn't made enough in my lap book...so let's do it ! because you give me so much inspiration .I hope you feel better now.... I could send you an Octopus to help you to finish your projects...many arms ....it could help...^^ Thanks for sharing this lovely series...hugs from France...take care of you...
What did you do with your finished lap book? I am entranced by this project, it is beyond fabulous. I found a set of 4 matching books that I can make two lap books from, and I am so excited to make them following this series of videos. Thank you so much for all these inspirations!
Another wonderful video.. I just love this so so much.. I am shopping for a couple old books so I can make one of these. You are so fun and amazingly talented.. I so hope you feel better soon.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I also want to make two of the recipe books that someone gave you.. Thanks again Nik for sharing your teachings.
Just discovered bookmaking and am super excited to learn more. Can you send me information on your courses and how to get them? Thanks for sharing your incredible talents with us!
Feel better...i know how it is, I'm catching up from feeling awful the first half of the week myself. Love this book. Have been keeping my eye out for a couple unique books to make me a lap book....you find all the good things.lol I was lucky and rushed out right after your video with that seven gypsy paper, and grabbed the last one in each size our store here had. Was wondering why they never restocked...good to know I need to use it wisely....must be "sponge worthy"....quote for you to remember. Lol
I’m watching this series 3 years late but I’m loving it! Did you ever get your storage closet setup for your Cricut? Do you have an electrical plug in that closet?
I am loving this series and plan on making one soon. I was wondering what do you use the matte clear labels for? And what did you print the washi strips on.
Hope you feel better fast! I would love a massage! It is one of 2? reccomended "therapies" that I can do, that "shouldn't cause any more damage", BUT... insurance wont pay for either of them. So , unless I win the lottery (I neved play, lol) it won't happen. Smh lol. Cool shelf story, can't wait to see it. You could show your closet too? Just an idea. :) They always discontinue my favorite things. Takes me forever to find one I like, drink, food, anything! lol. Then its gone. So annoying! It usually seems to be stuff others like too, so it makes no sense to me either. More awesomeness!! Gorgeous envelope! Just totally diggin' this project! Tyfs!
LOVING this series. I'm trying a lapbook, by amalgamating 3 or 4 of my favourite most fabulous creators. I'm still lost when it comes to the order of putting things together, when not using upcycled books...but I think it's quite possible I just might get there, by taking the best tips from all of you. I have had a cricut since the day it came out....and I have used it twice. I'm ever so happy to find that our ONLY craft store is taking things to sell on consignment. I just never got it....no matter how many tutorials I watched....so I hope someone finds it of more use to them as it was to me. =(
I love your unique style Nik. Your rounded corners, and inked edges...so you! Massages are great! Make it a full spa day...facial treatment, sauna, massage (ooh! try a hot stone massage!) Thanks for another good episode of The Lapbook!
I hope you get to feeling better. Massages are awesome and I think you should get one. Thank you for the soup recipe, now I have a dinner plan. Not trying to be a stalker, but your stuff on Redbubble is awesome!! I am also loving this lap book and it's looking sharp!!
Love the onion skin with the acetate! I have never been a huge fan of acetate because it looks kinda cheap to me, I have used it in envelopes but this just brings it up a notch! I might try it with Kraft deli paper. One of my son's favorite foods is posole.😺💕Amy
you've probably said or did a video on the washi that you were using today ….. but alas, could you tell me about it? PLEASE???? I'm REALLY enjoying this series. thanks so much for everythig
oh yeah, I am sorry about that. Yes, the washi tape digital kits are in my etsy store and I just print them (on my regular ink jet) on the full page sized, clear shipping/mailing label paper from Avery (link to Amazon, if you want to see what that looks like) then I just slice the strips apart with my paper trimmer. Here's a link to the video where I explain that, if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/ts11q0tUjXM/w-d-xo.html thank you, Doreen =)
@@NiktheBooksmith oh thanks so much for explaining that! I was watching and kept thinking, "Where on earth did she get that AWESOME washi from???" Now I can make my own, YAY!

"It's a squirrel thing..." Needs to be on one of the t-shirts. Please! 😂

You are rocking this lapbook, Nik! I'm loving it!
So inspiring, Nik! Can't wait for Pt 9. But hope you feel better soon!
Dona is in the corner with your spoon liking off the chocolate cake batter 😂, love all your ideas. Thanks for the recipe.

Take care Nik, hope you and your squirrels enjoyed your soup 😀❤️
I love this series so much. I want to do this and need to get some book covers. I'm so inspired by your videos. Hope you feel better soon.

So awesome, loving this. I have the original Personal Cricut, which I just got out and starting using it today, so I could get scrapbooking again.
I replayed and replayed when the tape was stuck to your fingers and I was gone. I laughed so hard I hit my head on the back of the chair.
😂
Coming along just great Nik ! Enjoying this so much. Hope you feel much better by now. Never heard 'spoons' before. It was always run out of steam ( still is) Thanks for all the sharing you do !
Beautiful book, ideas are great!

You are amazing!! I just love how funny you are!! Very enjoyable
LOL at least you listen to me when I yell at you :) Hope you feel better soon. I love love love your work and I laugh a lot with you too.

Thank you, Janet! Yes, that is exactly what I did. A really good friend recommended an established masseuse that she adores. I hope I like her, too =)
I love your book, so many great ideas! I have to go to the thrift store to get some encyclopedias and get sttarted! You are so talented.
