You've done a fabulous job on your 1st completed glue book. Can't wait to see your next creation. Thx for sharing!😊

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Awwww, thank you! It was just so much fun! I am so excited for my next one! I hope it's as awesome as I think it will be 😂 TFW! 💜

[@marshakopeika9671]

Great glue book❣️❣️ I’m so happy you found glue booking‼️

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thank you! I am SO HAPPY I found it too!!! It's just the absolute BEST! TFW! 💜

[@cherylstevens9665]

Nice job. I have ventured into the world of big headed paper dolls thanks to you.😍

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Wonderful! OMG THIS IS SO EXCITING! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Fun fact; I was NEVER into paper dolls as a kid or dolls at all really! So, me being into magazine collage dolls is weird, but they make me laugh, so maybe that's why I like it? I am so glad you're inspired to try them! TFW! 💜

[@barbkniess3985]

This turned out sooo good. Like others I was smiling and giggling. Your next project is going to be FUN. Can't wait to watch!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks so much 😊 I am very very excited for the Glue Book Rooms book! TFW! 💜

[@kristinasshack]

Thanks for flipping us thru your awesome gluebook 🤗 So many fun pages❣️ Looking forward to your gluebook rooms 👍 They’re so fun🤩

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks so much! 😊 I am SO EXCITED for the rooms idea! Thanks for the idea! and TFW! 💜

[@tfntexas]

I was smiling and giggling through the whole video. Great job completing your glue book! I loved how you told about the pages and or explained what it meant to you! I think my favorite page was that little girl holding the paintbrush. I’ve already forgotten the quote but I loved it. Very nice ATCs and happy mail too!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

The quote was “she can go her own way”. I love that layout too! It was one that came about so easily! TFW! 💜

[@kimshepherd6911]

Lovely happy mail! The animal paper dolls are a personal fav- they make me smile every time. When you said "and then there's high fashion", I laughed! I actually love when magazines put models in haute couture in grungy unrealistic locations- reminds me of Effie walking around in district 12 in the Hunger Games. Your glue book is amazing- I had to pause every page so I could really look at them, to see what you put and how things flowed together. It was a little treasure hunt on each page.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I need to do more animal paper dolls! Now that I have those dog books, I should be able to! I am so glad you enjoyed that flip through. I hadn't flipped through the whole thing in a long while, so it was fun to do it with you! TFW! 💜

[@robinwebb2160]

Great book! So many fun images 😊

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

That book went SO FAST! I really had so much fun! TFW! 💜

[@ChellesCreativeChaos2]

I love this..... I struggle so much with the dang backgrounds!!! But you nailed it - each and every page!!! Chefs Kiss!! 😘👌

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

awwww THANK YOU!!! The backgrounds are hard sometimes, I had to just be OK covering them up which sometimes makes my brain itch.

[@marceehampton2269]

Glue book rooms! Woot! You did an amazing job on your first glue book! Soooo good. I think my gave was the bright yellow flower one with the hummer. I think….maybe…..

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Oh thank you! The rooms book is SO EXCITING for me! I am very very stoked to get started on that one! (vid coming on Saturday!) TFW! 💜

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Such fun! ❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

TFW! 💜

[@GinaLovestocraft]

I love your glue book Fabulous flip through pages ❤❤❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thank you, Gina! TFW! 💜

[@gerricraig7730]

Loved watching your flip through!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yay, thank you! I can't believe I finished a whole book (well, almost -- is it ever truly finished? 😆 ) TFW! 💜

[@kimshepherd6911]

I never thought to look at Ross for any form of craft or art supplies- thank you for that tip!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

The selection is less than TJMaxx, but similar stuff! I mainly look for mixed media pads that can be glue books. And sometimes they have name brand tools and things. You just gotta hunt! 💜

[@DreamWithCaroline]

💜🎶 Good morning Laura Great Glue book .. love the mixed images .. I'm coming over from Kristina s shack, subscribing to your channel 💜 Caroline 🎶🇨🇦

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks for subbing! I am so addicted to blue booking! 😆 And I am so glad you found me (and that I found Kristina, and her glue book rooms!) TFW! 💜

[@lionunderthestars7019]

Hi, Laura My glue books tend to be similar to yours. Meaning that my inspirations jump around from a theme page, to a color page, to a en masse page, etc. It just seems to depend on my images and my mood. I especially liked the way you put a flower field behind the yoga lady with her pets. I have that image and glued it down forgetting I was inspired by your image. Oh, well, another opportunity will arise. I also have been looking at a lot of paper doll type things lately and am looking forward to get started with those soon. I love your animal head people. I'm looking forward to your room glue book. Nancy

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I am glad I am not the only person who bounces around in her glue books! 😁 I just gotta take whatever inspiration comes! 😄 I am very excited to start my glue book room book! TFW! 💜

[@LovelyMalia]

New sub and fellow gluebooker... So happy I found you!❤❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

[@marceehampton2269]

[@marceehampton2269]

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

And Marceeeeeeeeeeee 💜

[@belindawallace5203]

Gloria Swanson? Love the glue book ❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

oh I think you're right! I rarely read the articles, but I feel like with that picture I did! 😆 But clearly I didn't remember the first name, but the last name! TFW (and helping me identify the nice lady in my book! 😂 ) 💜

[@belindawallace5203]

@@TheHalfassCrafteras a kid I spent a lot of weekend afternoons watching old movies with my grandmother… on the bright side, homemade cake was also involved 🧁

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I love old movies! But also cake, so that sounds like an amazing afternoon! 😃

[@autumnwitch918]

Hi from a new subscriber! I stumbled upon your channel a couple days ago and have been binge watching your other videos since.. Anywho, you mentioned needing Day of the Dead/ sugar skulls for that one page in your glue book. I have some stickers of them that I would love to send your way if you would like them :) Also I really love how this glue book turned out!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Ohhhh yes! I do still need sugar skulls! If you email me we can chat about it! How fun! Thanks for subbing and TFW! 💜

[@marceehampton2269]

They have craft stuff at Ross? I’ve not been in one before.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

They do! It's like a TJMaxx, only less so. 😝

[@marceehampton2269]

So basically what you’re sayin is that you didnt listen to Stephanie Hahah

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I mean....probably not. Do I ever listen? 😂

[@Stephanie_Robin]

No she doesn’t haha! Just kidding. I do love the Eiffel tower there though 😊

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Hahahah glad you approve! 💜😂
