It's

[@Stephanie_Robin]

Would absolutely love to see your hubby make paper dolls! Then you could do a spread with your paper doll.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Oh yeah! We could do a double page spread with his doll and one of mine! I may see if i can get him motivated this weekend to try! TFW! 💜

I love Nicole! She is hilarious! That image of the older woman on the couch is fantastic! TYFS Cindy

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Nicole is great! Her layouts are so good! And that lady is the best! I love her! TFW! 💜

I started glue booking and junk journaling 2 months ago, I’m obsessed with the freedom to create they have provided me! It is SO FUN! Your book is looking good, girl, and I Love that you express the memories you have with some of the images. Personal, yet feelings that we can all relate to. Looking forward to more from you, halFass !

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thank you! Glue booking is just so much fun!! I now do Glue Book Saturdays on my channel! I hope you’ll join me! TFW! 💜

[@GinaLovestocraft]

This was a lot of fun watching you glue book your pages loved it ❤❤

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks so much! 😊 They are so much fun!! TFW! 💜

[@pattimcclelland6635]

Oh! your pumpkins that you put back together.... BRILLIANT!

[@coachwcherylb]

Love that you say put backgrounds FIRST! I am completely new to this and you just told me how to start! Thank You so much!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yes! You can also just make dolls -- it all depends on how you work best. Some folks like to make a bunch of dolls, then make backgrounds for those dolls. I like to make backgrounds without pressure 😂 Then just add a doll to it. TFW! 💜

[@tfntexas]

I’ve decided I have Craft ADD. I have regular ADD too but I bounce between junk journal crafts, slow stitching and glue booking. I’m sure there are a few others too lol. 😊

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

OMG you n me both, sister! 😂 i am fluttering all over the place in my craft room. I am like a crafty moth! 🤣 TFW! 💜

[@pattimcclelland6635]

@tfntexas Yes, Me2. Keeps us from getting creatively stale. (At least that's what I tell myself😏).

[@karenjagodzinski6300]

Me too ​@@TheHalfassCrafter

[@lindamckibben1763]

Your book is amazing! I love the pictures as you’ve flipped through.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thank you so much! I already feel like I am starting to get better. Maybe one day I'll even find my style!? 😂 TFW! 💜

[@pamhauer-mcbroom7520]

the bed of the Chevy needs one of your paper dolls standing in it!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

OHHHH SMART! I need to make some smaller dolls for my glue books! I do have some rooms pages in my new glue book where I think "I need a doll right here!" 😆 TFW! 💜

[@kimshepherd6911]

These are really fun!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Thanks! That gluebook is a ton o fun!! TFW! 💜

[@bohohippiebySonja]

There's the bird in the smoking jacket...move over Heff! Yes, I drug out all of my comp books yesterday, ok so the ones that were in my file cabinet...there's more somewhere. I removed 1/2 the pages, & I'm all set to go make backgrounds. See you on IG! Happy gluey day Laura.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

OMG THIS IS TOO MUCH FUN!!!! I can't wait to heart all your IG posts! ❤️ This really is a ton of fun and a chill chill craft. Like, lowest stakes crafting I could imagine 😂 (which is my favorite kind!) TFW! 💜

[@Stephanie_G.]

Love your title The Halfass Crafter...and I love to gluebook also...not only glue books I have discovered other glue projects that are amazing!!😁😁😁

[@Stephanie_G.]

Peanut butter and chocolate girl scout cookies...I think they are called peanut butter patties

Thanks! I just say "Truth in advertising!" 😝 Sets the expectations, ya know? TFW! 💜

Oh glue books are too much fun!! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@pattimcclelland6635]

Hello, I am new to your channel. I too, have been watching Nicole. I enjoy watching her, and now you too. No! you are not late to the Gluebooking thingy. I am still trying to figure it out. I just finished making my book last night and plan to start random gluing this weekend. I have done a Color food Glue Book, but I am ready for one like yours. I cannot wait to get started. Thank you for your content. Fun to watch!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Welcome!! So glad you found me! I feel I am always late to the party, so glad I have company! 😂 I bet your book is going to be great! I have started doing a Rooms book! You should check those out! OMG SO FUN! They are most of the Glue Book Saturday videos lately (I might be a bit obsessed 😂 ) TFW! 💜

[@gerricraig7730]

Just enjoy your glue booking.....no getting down on yourself. Trefoils and tagalongs for sure!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Awww thanks! I really do enjoy it SO MUCH! And my cookies arrived last night! So now it's cookies AND glue books! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@KelelahsPreciousOnes]

New Subscriber checking in! I love your channel! Gluebooking is soooo fun, so addicting and just think, we all create one of a kind art, there will never be another just like ours! **Cheryl from Maine** and I adore and love Nicole at Relax Cut and Glue, your feed came up when I was watching her channel.❤️✂️🦋

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Welcome!! Thanks for joining me! Glue books are SO FUN! Man, I wasn't sure I'd like it but I LOVE it! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@robingoff322]

I love some of the images you’ve cut out. I’ve watched Nicole at RCG for at least a year now, and have watched other people make their paper dolls. I’m working on a couple of different glue books…..I live in SE WA state, but my MIL lives in Vancouver. I drive by the town that Nicole lives in. I just love the drive thru the Gorge…..it is always beautiful, even on a rainy day. I also spend quite a bit of time on the Oregon coast, I love it there!

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Hello neighbor!!!! I am in central oregon, but my kids are in Portland and Seattle, so I go all over :) Nicole is great and a lot of fun to watch! I may be already, slowly, creating more glue books -- it's so addictive! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@sherrybarfield8446]

You totally crack me up you Wild Artsy Woman! "That's not magical" made me snort. I so relate to you with my exes have all my best stuff.....I refer to them as Husband One, Husband Two, Husband Three, and Charles who is the love of my life....10 years younger than me,.....we have separated houses in towns 80 miles apart (he lives on a ranch).....AND we have been married 35 years (Others may not relate to this...but I feel confident you will!). Love your paper dolls and love your new obsession with glue books being the answer to what to do with those other pieces that you love but can't make into paper dolls! I am also a recovering perfectionist. You are my You Tube Half Assed Bestie and don't even know me....I AM NOT WEIRD!....I PROMISE! Love your channel. Thank You for all the entertainment you provide this half assed old woman😊.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

I too have multiple ex-husbands, and can confirm that the husband I don't live with is my best one yet! 😂 I am VERY good at being a half assed bestie on the internet, so SIGN ME UP, SHERRY! LETS GO! 💕 I am so happy to find folks who can relate to me, and me to them! So thank you for being here 💜

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I'm hoping I'll obsess with glue books for a while so I can use up a lot of my magazine bits I've already cut out. OMGG when you said you possibly talked to us in your head when you harvested the farm magazine I laughed so hard because I can relate to that (also, relate might be the word that was eluding you). I truly enjoy hearing you chatter on while you play and I totally get that there's only so much chatter that one has so some pages will be done off camera. Unless people want sped up no sound; we can make that happen- bring your own music).

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

The music aspect is very prickly isn’t it!?! I did music on some videos and boy do folks have _opinions_ about music 😂 I genuinely cannot stop gluing things! I even started a small gluebook that is where i can put my stickers because i have collected a bunch of those TOO! I think maybe I just want to use my stash so when April hits I can replenish!? 🫣 Ohhh ‘relate’ may have been that word! I would have to watch the video but i lose that word a LOT for some reason 🤣 I am so glad you (and many others, seemingly) enjoy my chattering! It is fun to create with someone even if on video! TFW! 💜 (also we should create together again soon!!)

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@TheHalfassCrafter the word I can never remember is curate (for reals it took me a bit to remember it in order to write it here).

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

@DarcysMixedMedia hahahah yes! Curate and collate get mixed up in my brain all the time! 🤣 words, man….

[@ahleena]

I was always taught to put my hand on the rear of a horse while walking around it, I think so the horse is aware you are back there and won't kick. Idk. I don't have tons of horse time but I've never been kicked.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yes! That is the correct way to do it! I havent been kicked yet either but also dont wanna chance it! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

New subbie here, I only just found your channel. I love, love your pages and your style of glueing. I absolutely love Nicole from Relax, Cut, Glue, but have you heard of Let's Make a Mess with Dawn, she is a glue booker too and she works in a composition book and fills it with alsorts of random things very similar to your style. Tfs xo

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

OOOoohhh! I have NOT heard of Dawn! I must go check her out now! I do love a good glue book video! 😆 So glad you found me and are joining me on this creative journey! Happy creating! TFW! 💜

Phew. I saw that page get glued and then moved on from and I was hollering… Laura! The glue! Cover it up! Oh nooooo! So phew! It didn’t end up unmagical.

Hahahaha! Its wild to watch the stuff i miss when creating! Like, was I even there!? 😂🤣 thanks for hollering! I need it! I always need an adult, glad youre here! 💙😂 TFW! 💜

[@karenjagodzinski6300]

Just wondering if u ever use newspaper pics. I have some really nice ones I would like to use but not sure how or what to use to preserve and make them shiny. Any suggestions? Love your glue book want to start one. I also plan on using magazine pics.

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

Yes! Sometimes I have used newsprint. They wont last until the end times, but they’re easier to glue down with a glue stick! 😂 TFW! 💜

[@marceehampton2269]

Well I’m commenting! The wind is crazy AGAIN! for days! Ugh. Hate it.

Did you get the s’mores?

[@TheHalfassCrafter]

No! But funny, my step daughter did! We got them last year and we didnt like them. So i didn’t order them. This year was: tagalongs, do-si-dos, lemonades, thin mints, and trefoils. 😋🍪
