[@reneebarger5194]

For some people there is no off button for creativity. You are not only creative, you are generous. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

[@anixa00ify]

Would you consider showing how you organize your supplies and projects? It looks like you use everything in your craft room when crafting. I struggle with that and I struggle with starting/ending projects.

[@marthadueck6461]

I struggle with the same thing. By the time have my supplies together I’ve lost my train of thought. I never finished anything.

[@i.b.640]

I have a folder with multiple dividers and I put my scraps in there. One my unicolours, one the patterned paper, one the ribbons and so on. Some Index cards, cardstock etc. When I have a hard time focusing I only use what's in there. I made a starter Kit for a friend who didn't need it in the end. That's a quick starter, too. Treasure books has an old Video were Natasa puts to together starter Kits for her Shop (they were gone in 60 seconds, so to speak, but you can use it as idea fountain what to put in yours for yourself) Then you can always do SOMETHING, even when overwhelmed.

[@catgoeskek]

​@@marthadueck6461maybe you could write down your ideas as they come to you or keep a project book? You could make a list of supplies, and then make a numbered list of steps. I really struggle with organising my paper stuff, mainly due to lack of storage but also I need to be able to see everything so I can find and use it.

[@claireskey5439]

My dear neighbour ❤. You've been busy this week for sure! You've given me loads of different ideas on using my laces and trims. This video is eye candy. Thanks a bunch! Much love and cuddles Banjo ❤❤❤🇦🇺✂️Happy crafting ❤❤❤

[@plan4life]

What I personally do in order to begin a project without having to have to hunt all over for supplies is I have a 5-tray storage container on wheels and so have max of five projects on the go at one time. So if I am busy making my fairy journal for example I can just take out that specific tray. It can contain scrap paper, washi tapes, embellishments, beads, material, stickers or whatever has inspired me (when organising my supplies) relating to that particular project. But normally speaking these supplies have their own special places, so I have storage container with most of my washi tapes, and a huge storage box where I keep the bulk of my beads, and a box where I keep my scrap paper. I have more than 5 projects I want to make of course but I have to limit myself because I simply don’t have the room. The problem I really have, then, is where to store the completed, or semi-completed projects. I don’t want to sell them, but the more you make the more you accumulate of course.

[@bettymetz3746]

You have taught, you have demonstrated, you have inspired, and you have made this 78 year old paper crafter chuckle!!!! Thank you and blessings to you.

[@luannfischer747]

The idea of 15-20 minute projects, one basket or box with all necessary items for each project, AND not feeling that I have to complete x # of items, just make progress,,, this was a STRESS BREAKER idea. Thanks it’s just what I needed for this moment in my life. 🥰

[@territinsel]

I love the way you rattle and shake everything , it's like the papers have their own voices

[@mawmann]

Wonderful projects!! It took me 70 years to see all the beauty I've been tossing away!! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@lindagarza5726]

It’s obvious you live and breathe crafts! Everything is lovely 😊

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@laurelwilkinson2594]

Whether it is your color sense, design sense, or the rebirth of junk into treasure, or just your enthusiasm, every project you make is sheer deliciousness. Still here, and breathless to tackle my own stack of stuff. I understand your love of houses. I've always had a house around me, but as a child, we moved so frequently, that some never felt like a home; so houses represent stability, security, and personal space to me. I love the whimsical houses.

[@Hadassah28]

So agreed!

[@robindonnelly]

Same!

[@jackysjournals6320]

If you get some fine wire (fuse wire is good) you can just make yourself a large eye needle, by folding it in half. The two ends will go through a bead easily. I’ve done this for years 😊

[@dorisandujar8277]

This tutorial is so inspiring. Every time I watch you do a project I want to jump up and get started. All of these projects are absolutely beautifully done. Amazon does have the yo yo sets. I love all the beads and dangles. The sound of the embellishments clanging together is music to my ears. You make all your DIY's so elegant looking. Thank you for so many great ideas. ❤❤❤

[@marciawilwerding4984]

I'm still here! The two most important people in my life have been my mother and grandmother. The yo-yo's were Mother's favorite craft and the lace flowers were Grandma's. The jewelry dangles remind me of both of their jewelry boxes which I rifled through in my boredom before daytime television. Paper and pens are my thing, so ALL of your projects today hold special meaning for me, and I hope to incorporate them into my own crafts, leaving a legacy to my children's children. Thank you for your continued inspiration.

[@peggyadunning234]

Absolutely glorious creativity

[@Hadassah28]

The house art book is brilliantly creative.

[@katanderson6788]

Is there no end to your imagination?? 😊 Love all these, but especially the yo-yo and who doesn’t love a good dangle? Have a Happy Mother’s Day! If that is something you celebrate in Australia. If not, have a great weekend! 👍

[@louisakemp]

Awesomeness!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@elizabethbegnaud7888]

My husband is having major back surgery Oct. 24th. He will be in the hospital for 3 to 5 days. I will be staying with him. I am packing a kit of bits and pieces to make embellishments, tags, clusters, baby journals, pen holders, small things that do not take much room or material to make. Making things will be my sanity. Thank you for your inspirations. You are my Muse.

[@darcypalmer7783]

I love your 15 minute houses. They are beautiful, whimsical, colorful, creative. You can publish them as a book eventually.

[@reneevanriper3422]

That is a beading needle, I used to do beaded jewelry. Now my passion is paper crafting. Love your style of art work, I have been watching your videos every morning.

[@kathleenmccrory9883]

I have a ton of jewelry making supplies, and her videos make me happy that I've kept them. Including beeding needles. Although, I could still stand to get rid of some of it.

[@tootsfour956]

Hope you are feeling better, Natasa..These are simple but great ideas. You are so creative and I appreciate these videos. Thank you! Blessings

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@cathierayes4226]

Hi, Natasa! You totally caught my attention with the junk mail envelope masterboard. I had to turn the video off and go rip up envelopes--who knew it would be so cathartic? But then I ended up with piles of components; you know, windows, postage marks, big words like "Confidential!" and small ones with dates, envelope flaps, things I just had to save. Had to immediately make an ephemera holder to sort them all out and get my craft table clear enough to go back to inking and sorting the envelope pieces. It was doggoned hard to make myself go make supper. hrumph. 😂Getting back to it, going to make the first one from the outsides of the solid colored envelopes and then I'll make the next one from the patterned insides. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!! 🤩

[@cwoodrn75]

I always love your video intros❤❤❤❤

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@phyllispeterson5800]

Love all the projects, we are still here.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@BkLovr]

Don't ever doubt the usefulness of your videos. For those of us just beginning they are immensely helpful!

[@Scrapart_by_Zelinda]

I LOVE these projects ideas. You need to write another book for side projects 😊

[@joniheath6722]

Goal accomplished! I'm so inspired! Fav is #5 and the yo-yo bookmarks!!!! Thank you so much Happy Mother's Day! 💟

[@TreasureBooks]

Yay! Thank you!

[@starrrichardson17]

Yes I stayed to the end. I could and would spend all day with you. I love your humor. I am always inspired with your projects. The hoody string stoppers are so clever. Nothing wasted! Today is Mother’s Day in the US. I wish you a Blessed Day!

[@leisacarnahan7647]

I really love all of the ideas. The YoYo's took me back to my childhood. My mom used to make those and sew them together to make quilt tops. I am thinking that I might just make Ephemera for journals instead of making journals all the time. I like to do both, but I do not have the time I would like to have with working. One more year, then I will have more time to do what I love.....lol

[@emmaholloway2516]

Quite literally the best intro ever!!! ❤

[@ianthafolkman9206]

You are so creative. I'm amazed at the ideas you come up with. Thanks for sharing your fun tutorials.

[@irenecasalino7406]

Love, love, love all your projects and, as always, totally amazed by your creativity!!

I haven't watched a Natasha video in a long while and she never, ever disappoints. Crafters we are so lucky to have the genius of Natasha's crafting skills at our fingertips. Natasha thanks over and over again for sharing yet another amazing video.❤😊

Natasha: Amazing! All those small projects are just delightful. Marrying them together for gifts is a wonderful idea. And so meaningful. My guess is, you are working on your second book. I hope so anyway… Carol from California

[@Senoritagata-nu5te]

I love it I love it! I got my treasure books weekly fix! Thank you girl! Wonderful ideas & great creatvity.

[@kayaxtell5729]

Natasa! I have been following you for years. I am totally addicted and wake up on weekends happily anticipating your latest video. I don't often comment, but wanted to let you know that I love everything about you and your presentations. This week's ideas are perfect for me. I just spent days organizing my craft materials and now I know exactly what to do with them. Can't wait! Again, thanks for being you.

[@desertdweller8374]

I am SO inspired by the houses 15 min. side project - I LOVE houses! I'm going to try this!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Have fun!

[@deborahcoram6793]

You definitely inspire! I get so excited when I see that you’ve released a new video. I pray you never tire of teaching and making. You’re a rarity-both excellent crafter and great instructor! Thanks! 😊

Houses are fantastic!!😍

[@NorthernLightsCraftsMn]

I absolutely loved this! Not too long for me, you couldve kept going! You are so cute, you say the cutest things and your creativity is absolutely amazing!!!! BRAVO!!!!!

[@pjaneheil]

I always LOVE to see the presentation of each videos, it's a different way, then most owners , which makes ur videos very unique. Ur always inspirational...

[@TreasureBooks]

So nice of you, thank you!

[@firebutterfly]

The first tablets are a brilliant idea for getting the tonnnnns of fabric I have and want to do something with. Of course, it's all fantastic uses for the materials gathered - had to stop gathering because there's always more. lol

[@GrumpetteJV]

I adore your long videos. And you are about the only person who can do asmr kind of stuff (like in the beginning of your video) without greatly pissing me off. In fact, I rather like it! Lovely projects, your houses are so much fun! Thank you. I needed this me time, and very much enjoyed watching. 🖤

[@trinafry1052]

Some how you make every project look delightful & easy. Your explanations are great even though you feel they may not be. I've seen houses done a different way but love both. You are very talented so don't stop inspiring us. Thanks for sharing.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much 😊

[@cricketnylund7329]

Enjoyed your video very much. My fav was the houses and the beaded note pads , and yes I’m inspired! Thanks Cricket

[@carolehaouzi4843]

i got some ideas , like the little note thing... thank you❤

[@anatomlinson3537]

Just Wowwww…

[@m155chr15]

Grew up using big eye needles and oval eye twisted needles for stringing necklaces. They are amazing! In New Mexico, they are all over… even hobby lobby and Michael’s ❤

[@Gretchen_T.]

I love ALL of your ideas!!!! 🥰🥰

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much 😊

[@hopedowney6653]

[@soymilkmuse]

So many fun things to try! ❤

[@kerenvalentin7082]

Yes, inspirational. You are clever in your creations. I loved the notepads with the beads on top, there absolutely beautiful. 🤗

[@kathy2539]

I love the houses you've made, I want to make them now for my journals, also love your idea of wrapping the page behind the image from the magazine. The little bookmarks are really cute, and the last tag project is a really nice way to upgrade a tag on a gift. You give so many inspirational ideas. I'm saving some of your video to my craft folder in KZbin so that I can find them more easily and watch them again later.

[@antoniettavillamagna9352]

Wow, you been busy! Beautiful! As I have said before, you are the queen. Everything your hands touch becomes gold.😘 keep inspiring!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!!

[@robindonnelly]

I love all the projects, but the use of tassel toppers from hoodie string caps really blew my mind! 🤯 Such a cool recycle! Thanks, Natasha. Hope you start feeling better soon. ❤

[@anixa00ify]

Thank you for sharing. You’re so good at what you do. BTW Love the whimsical houses.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!!!

[@eloisenunez8512]

I really love your stitched magazine images. I enjoy making bookmarks and will try this to embellish them. I always look forward to seeing your work. You are truly the best on KZbin. Creative, organized, precise and funny too. Simply the best!! Also… happy Mother’s Day to you!! 🌹

[@emmkaa2099]

Natasa, hi sweetheart 😘. I'm packing to move across the country and just yesterday I went through bags and boxes of jewelry and pulled out wonderful broken bits that'll be spot on perfect for making JJ jewelry!! You and I are SO on the same page - I LOVE that! Hugs from the southern California desert - at least for a few more weeks - MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

[@aacaptainswife]

Ahhh... Started my day today with a Happy dose of Treasure Books! You are such an inspiration.. Love all you do! Hope you have a Happy Mother's Day if you celebrate (we celebrate on May 12th in the States) ... Hope your sweet Banjo is doing well..😊

[@linette146]

[@terrisyoutube1726]

Holy cow what a pile..... Can't wait to see.

[@EvelynInanimate]

Hello from North Carolina USA!! Love your videos ❤️ You started my junk journal journey

[@TreasureBooks]

That is awesome! Thank you

[@Lasuth82]

I love these type of videos and I don’t think they’re too long. Great reminders of projects I’d like to do or revisit! Thank you

[@jeanm.peterson6890]

I love all of these ideas. I am going to make preparations and each time my adult daughter comes to visit we will take some time to work on one of these. Thank you so much for your inspiration. You are the best!! You ARE a Treasure! :D

[@GardeniasandGrace]

Oh wow, this video is going to be fun!! ☺️ ❤ So many pretty things!!! 😍💗

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much :) Enjoy

[@sandrashrock3775]

Thank for all the wonderful videos that you share. I always look forward to watching them. Those beading needles are indeed a life-saver but I have also found that a piece of dental floss or fishing line folded in half also works great if you don't have a beading needle.

[@TreasureBooks]

Great to know, thank you!!

[@lorrainecarlson123]

I loved ever single projects, so inspiring. Thank you.

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Love, love this, another inspirational project, I just love your ideas, thanks for sharing, Happy Mothers Day to you🌹🌹🌹

[@cindra1234]

Another amazing video! I love how you said you put the project in your weekly plan, a 15 minute project, etc. Would you share your weekly plan with us sometime?

[@shellywhite1929]

SPARKED!! and mind boggled at your PHENOMENAL talent. Wow! I'm making a list as I'm watching this the second time. This is what I want for mothers day. I'm in my craft room ALL DAY with you! YIPPEE! Thank you doll!! Luv u ❤

[@TreasureBooks]

hehe Thank you so much :)

[@saraparker184]

you are such an overachiever!!!!!! i am still trying to start one of your projects. wish me luck! 48:32

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe good luck!

[@Patricia.R.]

I love all these ideas. I lean toward grunge (personal preference) BUT! I appreciate seeing how you use every day items, thrifted Op-shop finds and make beautiful embellishments. Recycled materials can be tasteful. I can do it. Anyone can do it. There is no limit to the imagination. I have to say, the envelope tags were a favorite. I also liked the different note pad variations too.

[@MrsBreezyB]

I can't even begin to say how grateful, thankful and thoroughly pleased I've come across your channel! You are a Treasure this crafter will absolutely cherish. This video and a few of your others I've been watching just now on my day of rest are EXACTLY what I have been needing to help break through my personal creative barriers and blocks. THANK YOU!!!
