What a beautiful way to Idaho away some time, watching, learning and enjoying your narration . I am new to all of this paper art but love it. I enjoy that your pieces have a theme or story.i am leading towards that style too.thank you soooo much for taking the time to produce this video
Thank you for your kind words Raewyn (beautiful name btw, is it Welsh?). Welcome to the amazing world of paper crafting! Heads up tho, it often goes hand in hand with the maybe not-so-desirable hobby of paper hoarding. 😂 I don’t always create a story in my collage; in some gluebooks, like my monochromatic colour ones, I just make a pretty picture. If you do enjoy the story type of collage, I recommend checking out @DokiDokiForest She comes up with the most delightful stores for everything she creates. Her imagination is wonderful. Hope your paper art journey is a fun one. If you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! ❤️❤️
I’m so glad I found your channel. It’s like a breathe of inspiration. As a Floridian there are those damp rid containers I put in my closets. I like how those to help with the moisture. I love your book. I do have a few of my glue books on my channel. I stopped doing them and I totally wanna get back into it. Thanks. Also your view is to die forrrrrrr
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, those containers are good, but we figured this was probably too extreme for those; I’m sure I would have been replacing them every few days, lol. The dehumidifiers have been doing a great job though, well worth the investment. I hope you have jumped back into gluebooking! I’ll be checking out your channel soon, I love gluebooking along with other people! ❤️❤️
Awww, that really warms my heart Stacey, have fun! This is definitely one of my favourite Gluebooks. It was just the right size for quick pages. I have a few other notebooks the same size and I will eventually start another, as all my current Gluebooks are larger, and I miss having a smaller one to work in too.
Hello Crystal from the Bronx, so nice to have you here, and thank you for your kind words. I have a huge love affair with NYC, it’s my absolute favourite place on earth! ❤️❤️
I have never done a glue book-but been thinking about it….I have a scrapbook background…I did not own any glue sticks but soooo many glue types but I have been collecting images and words for months…watching how u put titles on your work was so inspiring-I am gonna start my first book today! Thank you! Loved the walk thru of your book…I am so excited to make a glue book! 💗
Awww, your kind words warm my heart! Many of us art/junk journalers & Gluebookers started out in scrapbooking, and while I no longer scrapbook, I am still a scrapbooking supply collector. 😂. I hope you had a fun start to your Gluebook journey, I’d love to hear how you made out! If you’d like more tips & ideas about glue booking, I also have a “how to Gluebook for beginners” video: th-cam.com/video/Ws01HIceR5M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RfpkURVkf7nXiTKx
I hope to start my glue booking, and collaging projects, soon. 🤞 I enjoyed your flip through.... thank you for sharing. 😊👍 Best wishes with the humidity all the things you talked about in your update.
Yay!! I’m so excited for you!!! It’s so addicting, and so relaxing. Thank you for your kind words and wishes. We got very lucky and Costco happened to have dehumidifiers on sale this week, so the basement is doing MUCH better.
😃👍 *nods* ... I can tell it IS addictive. I'm happy to hear that things are getting better and that's a great coincidence that the dehumidifiers were on sale! Neat! 😃👍
What a fun book! Lots of cool images. Really enjoyed watching you create many of the pages. Thanks for sharing. Bummer about the moisture 😢 Home ownership is so fun 😂😂😭
Thank you so much! And I dunno, I think I’d still rather deal with our humidity issues than deal with a landlord. That being said, before I was a homeowner I don’t recall having any horrible landlords, I think they were all pretty good, which apparently not the norm now. 😢
Hi Cindy, and welcome! The ornamentation book I was lucky enough to thrift is “The World of Ornament”, link below. I’ll try to remember to do a little show & tell of it at the beginning of my next video, in the next couple of days. It’s beautiful. www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwidhJb5hfCDAxVTWkcBHVTFD04YABAIGgJxdQ&ae=2&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnrOtBhDIARIsAFsSe51xeRMInAO9K8h-4Yg3BEhKhX0gQA8lkmsEOoClOMx4RSJXHrm_eCwaAlhEEALw_wcB&sph=&sig=AOD64_0rniJetvu9m26woNyTHRejVIN3Kw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiuhY_5hfCDAxXlkIkEHdZqA6UQwg8oAHoECAUQFg&nis=8&dct=1&adurl=
Thank you! I use glue sticks for all my gluebooks; they’re quick, make little mess, and clean up easily with baby wipes. For the most part, the cheap dollar store ones work fine for lightweight book and magazine images, although it has been trial and error as to which ones from which dollar store chain works best. Once in a while I have to glue the corner of something back down, but I don’t mind. For thicker images, like cereal box cardboard or heavier, I use a brand name, regular gluestick, like Elmer’s washable or regular UHU. Lastly, if I’m making something for someone else, like a journal, not just for me like my Gluebooks are, I use a really good gluestick to glue all images down. Like scotch permanent or Elmer’s crafters. The best glue sticks are really pricey, so I definitely save them for “important” things.
Hi Shari, many of my long-time subscribers enjoy my life updates; they’re like my little online family. You do raise a good point though, so I can add a timestamp for people who want to skip to the actual art. Thanks for the helpful feedback and I hope you’ll visit again. ❤️

This is so inspiring to me!! So gorgeous. I've now begun collecting background pieces that I like just because!
Yay! I’m excited for you to start on your Gluebook journey! ❤️❤️
Congratulations on finishing your book! Enjoyed the flip and hearing what inspired the pages. Love your style. I hope you heal up that knee! Yikes!!!
Thank you so much! The knee is feeling a bit better today.
I'm so glad I found this video again. I'm getting ready to begin a book inspired by this book ... at last.
Awww, that really warms my heart Stacey, have fun! This is definitely one of my favourite Gluebooks. It was just the right size for quick pages.

LOL, so you’re weird like me? Hehe. I think this one came in blue too. It does have another set of keys, in white if I ever wanted to change them out.
I hope to start my glue booking, and collaging projects, soon. 🤞

Jennifer, new subbie here. I love your glue book! Question....what is the ornamentation book? TYFS Cindy

LOL that’s awesome. If I remember correctly, it’s from the Simpsons? Good old Homer. Hehe
@JenniferDurdleArt yup..and he was like " I am so smrt"
Love this!! What kind of glue do you use?

Haha thank you.
6 minutes of chatter and the book isn’t even open yet. I hope you’ll take this as constructive feedback…editing is important.
