Great ideas. Old journals that I don’t want to look back on and don’t really want to leave around for my kids to think they have to read after I’m gone are going to become glue books.

I love your videos. I saw the passport idea and my heart just GREW! I have my parents and sisters passports - they've left this world - and i have some personal items - and little pictures that will be perfect to combine into them. I hang onto too much....but so glad i saved them. I just remind myself that I do these for myself....not like a family scrapbook and it is very freeing then. Thank you thank you!

Oh my!!! This is a fantastic video for me, I’m never disappointed in your videos. As I watched I realized that I have many little blank journals, and little books that I abandoned after just writing on a few pages but couldn’t throw them away. Now I feel inspired to bring them out and fill them with whatever comes to mind! I’m often too rigid in my thinking, your examples today showed me many ways to explore and be creative with material I have right on my shelves! Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas and books! 📚👏

Oddly enough I don't do a lot of journaling for myself, although I love making journals and I sell them (otherwise they'd take over the house 😊). I do have my own journal though that I made from an old dictionary cover. It has a wide spine so I reinforced it with Tyvek and then put elastic into it, Travellers Notebook style, so I can add and re-arrange pages as I want. When it starts to get a bit too fat I take out completed pages and bind them into a soft cover with pamphlet stitch. I have these smaller completed books going back some years. This was a great video and certainly inspiring. I now want to make a ring bound journal... I even have a small book in mind for it. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!

Hi Margarete, I love your suggestion to put the little target notebooks together as the journal grows. Right before Covid I stopped at Michael's Crafts and walked by racks of 25 + 50 cent markdowns. I still have some small books left and your idea is perfect for them. This is my first time to your channel and I will be sure to stop by again soon. Thanks for the great video!

Margarete: I use a very nice business faux leather three ring binder for my glue book. It has a matching pocket that it sits in. It was discarded and I grabbed it. It’s always there and ready for me to do what I want to do, when I want to do it. “No fuss, no muss.” I work full time and I don’t have a lot of extra time to do all that I want to do. I especially like your idea of using same size colorful note books and attaching them together. Very clever and easy. Thank you. Carol from California

I had saved a ring bound weekly calendar by Lang which had pictures each month by an artist whose work I enjoy. I never knew what to do with it until I signed up for your collage challenge..now I'm adding collage to the calendar pages and leaving the art pages as they are and it's working nicely! It will probably end up with "alligator mouth" but I'm having fun! I definitely want to try some other styles eventually though.

I do a lot of rubber stamping, and I love the idea of having one layer of a collage page incorporate the "stamping off" image from cleaning rubber stamps! I never thought of this but it's such a great idea, especially since sometimes I like the image better on the second stamping (so the journal could get the first stamping or the second, third, etc). And sometimes I really love my messy under paper from a stamping session, so it makes sense to make it an art journal page. Thanks for the great ideas!

I’m currently using a reader’s digest with an enlarged fabric spine. I love the size but it gets too big. I don’t like the battle using rings, but your idea of being able to add/move things is a good point…I may have to reconsider🙂 Cleaning off stamps onto another gluebook is brilliant! I use scrap paper then throw it away…another thought to reconsider. Thanks for the great ideas!

Hi Margarete. How fabulous your ideas are ! I already had watched your previous videos about different kinds of art/gluebooks and this one comes with more ideas ( the rainbow colored thin books )... I think I like all these examples..If I had to choose one ,I certainly would make a big ring bound book such as the red one ( i could also use my "Cinch" to bind eclectic pages to glue on ,but as you said, movable rings allow you to add or take off pages...) thanks for sharing all your inspirational ideas.Have a great creative day; Christine,from France.

I love the idea of the two ring binder book. It seems less intimidating than starting in a blank notebook for a perfectionist newbie like me. I also want to preserve some of my favourite postcards and children's book illustrations so I think it would be nice to interleave my glue book art with those. I have a set of the 1959 golden book encyclopedias so I think I have even found my starting point!
