Wonderful video, music, and gorgeous book. I'm an absolute novice but this made me realize how much I've learned from you in a short time. At first, I thought I would be lost without verbal instructions and at warp speed but I recognized well over 50% easily and much of the remainder of construction as you went along. The only part that completely threw me was the book cover. I love it! You make such pretty books and your craft videos are intriguing. Thank you for teaching us.

[@vanessafarias3244]

I absolutely love this! When my grandmother died, I got a book she had written poems and quotes in her cursive handwriting. It says “Scribble-in book” on the cover. It is so precious to me!

[@nicolahall5274]

I was spell bound watching you magically create that little book. Thank you

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

Everything about this video is stunning. Absolutely love the finished book, it's a master work.

How your mind works…WOW! You come up with some of the most incredible things. I don’t think my fingers will let me work such a miniature “Thought-full” book, but I am thinking about a prayer and scripture book , slightly larger. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@denisecondina6655]

what a beautiful journal💖 whom ever receives this little gem is very lucky thanks for the peaceful video and music...I was mesmerized♡♡♡

[@francesedwards4369]

Amazingly well done... The music added even more elegance to the process. So much given to the viewer in such a mini video. Your videos are always fresh and innovative! Thanks so much!

[@larchbold6192]

[@punkreation8290]

What a gorgeous little book. I’d be overjoyed if a friend had given me this. Thanks Nik 🥰

[@madebylora]

So so cute! Love it! I struggled to follow what was happening when you sewed the text block into the fabric cover, but then when you covered up the stitching with another piece of fabric anyway, I figured I could just make the stitching up as I go and then hide whatever chaos I create haha

[@LedgerAndLace]

WOW--LOVED that ending shot. I was waiting for the wax seal and you did not disappoint! And fancy J. Herbin to boot. I found myself pausing and writing down the quotes in my notebook. The one that hit me like a ton of bricks was: "Weaknesses are just strengths in the wrong environment." BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Ooo I'm fancy pants and didn't even know it! Thanks, Hal =)

The overall Peace I see in the videos is so relaxing.

where's the button for "omg that was awesome!" I appreciate all your videos but this one is an especially marvellous experience: the music was wonderful and perfect for the theme of the book; the pace is quick but oh so very step-by-step instructional; and the book itself is a lovely little treasure that would brighten the heart of any recipient.

[@kathyphillips9482]

I agree with Kimberly! Exquisite video composition..... and the resulting book is.... well, ONLY *absolute* perfection. Truly, Nik, I cannot express how much you have meant to me in the context of perceiving & crafting beauty from the "oh, well....."s we often toss aside. I am so grateful to have stumbled in here a while back. Hope you're feeling well.... prayers for that and for many, many blessings.

Thank you I will watch this many many times.
