[@catslade8958]

I have been having the worst day and in the hospital getting heavy chemo. You and you're goofiness is just what I needed ! And when I am not throwing up non stop I will make this in my hospital room lol. I hand sew everything so this is doable in the hospital!

Our Son-in-law is currently undergoing treatment for lymphoma. Although he doesn't make these, fellow artists on KZbin have made donations of journals, then we auction them off at fundraisers. Each is truly a work of heART! Blessings on your treatment. CancerStinks ! Nik, remember the song from Frozen, and 🎼🎶🎵Let it go!

[@alysonbuttonstone]

You're just the breath of fresh air I needed today. You're the sister I would have loved to have!

[@dianneeverett1633]

Cute ideas. That's a unique closure on the TN sized one.

[@pattyann7803]

You so real. I feel so much better about my imperfect crafting. It’s ok right. Who’s perfect. Love your videos.

[@marlenejones6266]

I love your pink cutting mat. I'm learning yet. I'm happy here in paper world. I used to be in yarn world. And before that i was in felting wool world..lots,of stuff here. In one bedroom place, so understand losing things. I know this is an older vid. But i like to yap at ya anyway. Lol and those bulb pins are actually stitch markers for knitting to keep our place in the piece we are making so I have lots of those and I used to make bracelets so I have beads. I'm a happy camper now. Thank you for a very hilarious video. These are fabulously pretty notebooks

[@mistybluecreations8900]

I've seen these travelers notebooks being folded in so many different ways. I don't believe there's a wrong way. Your tutorials are always the best. ❤️

[@katniks92]

you did these papers and now when my husband and I go anywhere I am looking on the side of the road for unusual weeds and leaves.Just wait till I take the clippers and I am telling him to pull over-boy will he enjoy that. Nice play day, thanks

[@NiktheBooksmith]

that is great to hear! =)

[@rubbishtorubies952]

Your creations are just so friggin gorgeous! I can't get enough! 😁💜💜💜

[@christines376]

You are too funny! And absolutely accurate about pockets! I bought a couple dresses online last month and I was more excited that they had pockets than the fact that they looked nice lol.

[@jeanmurdock2926]

Little hyper today! Love your little journal.

[@HolleeTX]

OMG. I always say “pockets” with a British accent 😂 it’s just a fun word ❤ thank you so much for these videos.

[@staceyflores4420]

[@abbystone5738]

OMG!!!! When you whipped out that HUGE "pokey thing" I just died laughing!!!!!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

ha! yeah...ya gotta do what you gotta do! =D

[@AlpacaMade]

chuckling....you mean it's not normal to have endless days like this? It was really fun anyway and is another part of the many parts I am taking from your tutorials to make a custom book ;)

[@sharonhanevelt1458]

Have made journals and your tips are great thanks from Canada

[@danaclark8077]

I'm in love With these so simple and elegant ❤

[@SilverPennyArtisans]

Just a quick jeweler's tip....you can put a light coating of Elmer's (whatever type you like) glue on the ends of your string. It stiffens it up to make a needle LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel! It has insoired me to make and sell journals

[@FayeTouve]

Love watching your videos! I find myself saying some of the same things along with you --- think we are kindred spirits. Oh, I have a cat who snores too. These folios are so cute and a great idea for a little gift. Looking forward to more videos and taking a bookmaking class with you. Thank you for sharing your process with us and for all the wonderful freebees.

[@kmwwrench]

I am sooooo with you on the whole pocket in clothing thing. Oh, and I love your books, too. Hope your tomorrow goes better than your today.

[@butterfly1035ni]

You made my night so much better. I thought I was the only one having one of THOSE days. Hope your day went well ❤ TFS

[@NiktheBooksmith]

those days are very sneaky, Nicole =/ Hope yours is better, too ;)

[@shirleymccullough2515]

I like all this projects, thanks very much for showing us . I love watching you make things and how you chat away to us like we’re all in a room together ... just the best !!! Thanks also for the free paper you gave all us that have a book cover course of yours. I’m sorry I didn’t get to see any of your journals go up for sale ... they didn’t show up on you Etsy store while I was logged in! I was very disappointed to miss a change to get one ....

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Heya Shirley! They were gone in about 30 seconds. It was like the running of the bulls....err, books.

[@shirleymccullough2515]

I’m not surprised they all went that fast, for some reason I didn’t even get to see them, hopefully next time . Congratulations Nik, we all love your journals !!

[@pattibealer]

Beautiful eco prints!

[@diannetalley7120]

[@lisawarner7991]

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much 😊 Nik, I really love 💕 these beautiful books 📖. Especially the one with the eco paper, and I really love 💕 listening to you, you’re so awesome and talented and clever. xx Mags

[@TheDunroaminfarm]

Love that paper

[@susanmolinari2348]

Glad you turned your day around and made something pretty. Enjoyed knitting along to your banter! When you started talking about taxes I laughed. My husband was self-employed most of our son’s childhood so apparently he saw and heard a lot of angst around tax time. One day he said, “I don’t want to grow up! I don’t want to pay taxes!” Lol He did and he does. ;)

[@karensumner3772]

THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT-I LOVE THE PRETTY PAPERS YOU USED. THANKS FOR SHARING-HAVE A BLESSED DAY
