Ahhahahaha! 😅😂🤣 The ending was so cute and creative, Nik! Spiders don’t scare me (too much), though. And I NEVER turn my back on them. Love the ridiculousness - and practicality - of the password keeper! Because yes, why use it if it doesn’t look great? This cute cover could be adapted for so many things. Love the labels!! Thanks for sharing this fun project with us. 😊👍♥️ Great new camera angle, too!

As a fellow arachnophobiac (is that even a word?, well I guess it is now! lol!) I totally can relate! I had to phone my 20 years old son who was upstairs in his room yesterday at 1 am to help me (he wasn't asleep, luckily for me), cause I couldn't go to bed due to a huge spider on the living room door, blocking my way out! No way I would go too close to this monster! But My son is my hero! He opened the door very slowly, and was able to catch the spider between a cardboard and a glass and put it outside, so we were both safe! Lol! Oh! Great project by the way, thanks for the freebies!

I totally understand your freak out. As a child I was never afraid of bugs. Then the boys in my school found this great game called " let's throw spiders and other gross bugs at the girls". I had really thick bushy hair and the bugs got lost in my hair. I would shake the hair vigorously to try to get them out, only to be told half an hour later " you have a spider in your hair" or even worse one would dangle down from my forehead in the middle of class! Yeah I got a real phobia now, thanks boys! Grrrr... Love from Denmark

I was wondering about using grommets in the spine, it looked so much easier, I guess you are locked into a 1/4 spine minimum, but it seems to cause much less strain on the paper/pages. A few years ago, it was the change of seasons, winter had arrived, I took down a sweater from my closet shelf that had been sitting there all summer long, put it on, got in the car, headed off to the long drive to work, then all of a sudden I felt all these "little things" on my scalp... so it seems, by putting on my sweater, I had disturbed a nest of baby spiders, and they were then contemplating whether or not to call my scalp home... so, yeah, ew.

I had a 3 day adventure with one that would struggle to fit in a jam jar in my 9m2 studio flat back when I was at uni. It involved one neighbour hitting it with a financial magazine, an unexplained disappearance of the dead body of the spider, its reappearance the next day, alive and a bit worse for wear, me throwing a boot at it, the supposedly dead body disappearing again while I was taking a shower, and a final intervention by another neighbour who picked up the fat b*stard and sent it flying over the garden wall.
