I didn't know that I needed validation for my deep-seated desire to squirrel away old paper. thank you, Nik!!

[@rneustel388]

I could watch you make these for hours, and I love the same kinds of papers that you do! When I’m looking at old books, notebooks, etc., I’m always looking for that stuff that makes papers interesting. When you said you kept the papers from the E. A. Poe book because…, I thought you were going to say it was because it was E. A. Poe. ‘nuff said!

[@marysternick5619]

Right?!

[@bigmommasandymoore2531]

I feel like I just landed in crafter’s paradise. Your style is therapeutic. Please keep the videos coming.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

boring??? absolutely not - i love creating journals and i enjoyed seeing what you did - having vintage papers makes it so interesting and wonderful - i know i've seen your grunge tape because i made some - but i need to pop over and check your other two videos - thank you so much for this inspiration Nik - see you on your next video xx 🤗

[@salvagedcountrycharm-alici3216]

Love watching your brain work. The majority of us could never be bored watching you be creative. Thanks for sharing

[@cynthiawicker2175]

Nik, thank you for making another video like this. Because of videos like this one, I became a huge fan, not that I don't like your other videos also. Really enjoyed it!

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

You deserve every one of the 100k and 100k more! You're one of my comfort KZbinrs, and I love crafting along with your videos to keep me company.

[@bl9411]

Hi Nik, I truly love this. No you not bothering me that's for sure. Thank you for sharing.❤️🙂

[@MaureenAstrid]

You will never ever bore me with these videos Nik 💕👍💕 I love watching you go at it with all the papers. It's an awesome idea and I will have to try this out.

[@joannewachel2505]

I love how you made these signatures and embellished them with sewing. Can’t wait to see you complete the project. 😊

[@annelenox4140]

OH You never, ever, ever bore me! I could hang out with you for hours! I love Raggedy...that's my most favorite "style" since I can't cut, draw or sew a straight line to save my life! It's been awesome seeing you put together signatures...really missed this type of video from you!

[@somewhereinthesun5047]

Absolutely a joy watching the raggedy! I can’t believe it was 3years with the old tape. I made that right along with you! I need to make more so time to rewatch! Thanks for spending time with us Nik!

[@PinkOddBird]

Can't wait to try this! They look amazing! Nice to see you my old pal Nic! 💕 And congrats on 100k whoa! Well deserved! 🎉

[@NiktheBooksmith]

🤗 Hello, my friend, and thank you! =)

[@deborahducret-shiley6309]

Nik, just love watching your stream consciousness videos! You have a very comfortable and engaging way of explaining your process which is always inspiring. Thank you for sharing your awesomeness!

[@opalpipkin6285]

Awesome video! I loved watching you create the signatures and listening to your thought processes. Thanks.

[@kathybaker3341]

You are phenomenal! Thank you for sharing your wisdom (and humor) on how to create such wonderful signatures - love them!

[@hanolalaith11]

I have been resisting learning how to bind books for years. I just don't need another hobby. But then I found your channel, and I see all the little notes and things that you include in yours. I am the kind of person who will keep a handwritten grocery list that I find in the parking lot. And now I know what to do with them! So I'm still trying to complete some of my in-progress projects before I start, but I am inspired by your work! Thank you!

[@pambotter355]

Loved watching you create these signatures. Love the old papers that someone wrote out things. I agree, these are papers that need to be kept. TFS and the inspiration!

[@danaroth1525]

There you are. I thought the squirrels got you 😂 These look great. So fun ❤️

[@miv800]

Missed you glad you are back Love Anne x

[@shirleymccullough2515]

Hi Nik, I never get tired of watching you making a journal, could and would love to watch more 😊. Thanks a bunch and hope to see you finish this one … sure enjoyed it !!

[@missviolavintage]

It's so great to see you back handling some paper and I love the aesthetic. I started making books about 5 years ago when I took your Carpetbagger Compendium course. I've been hooked on books and book structures ever since. I've made more than 100 books now and you were my inspiration so please keep on inspiring!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Wow, that's a lot of books! I think we need to come up with a new title for those of us prolific book makers, library builders, tome creators 📚🤔

[@marshacastello8350]

You could show and teach us about anything and it would NOT be boring. Always entertaining and helpful.

[@leahwolfe8999]

Congratulations on 100k! And nothing says "ratty" like a rodent-chewed piece of paper! 🤣

[@karenjenkins4020]

Loved watching your process. Could have watched forever (or at least until my champagne ran out). You’re one of my absolute faves❣️

[@Karma111284]

I actually enjoyed this, boring wasn't a thought I had while watching this. You always have what I would use as "ephemera" as your scraps lmao. Owning a journal made by you is a goal for me, maybe one day I will get lucky enough 😁 loved the process thanks for sharing. 🥰

[@angierahui]

Kia ora Nik, there is nothing boring about your videos i always enjoy them. Thanks again 👍 and stay well x

[@doreethorpe4800]

Love watching you make these raggedy signatures! Very inspiring as I have piles of old recipes, letters, newspaper articles. Need to make some raggedy signatures myself! Thank you!

[@jojosviolethaven322]

So... as a kinda crazy bibliophile since i was a kid, i've played with papermaking, bookbinding, im a graphic artist, typesetter.. retired.. & not a huge journal writer but ♥ books art paper u know.. and my grandpa gave me a History textbook when I was 12, ive hauled the poor thing around all my life. You've inspired me.. ! Ty! The cover will be used for a memory junk journal with signatures made of anything & everything I can find. All the best to you and your wonderful creative subscribers x

[@paperpuddles1805]

I found the tutorial you made for aging the tape. It is only 2 years back! I never would have thought you could use alcohol inks to make tape look old. Love it. I'm going to try it using some pink today and see what happens!

[@SerialKilling]

I JUST found you yesterday as I want to try my hand at making a junk journal. With all respect to other creators here, the couple I had been watching were so super positive and upbeat and, as I'm sure you tell by my username and content, I am of the darker variety. Your sense of humor and style of creating is exactly perfect. Subscribed and now binging. Thanks so much for this!

[@SandravdB1976]

I LOVE these raggedy video's❤️❤️❤️

[@cathyskrehot8925]

You NEVER bore us, girl! I loved that you had another video up. Keep doing what you do, you inspire us all!

[@byweinreich]

Ohh no Nik - You are NOT boring. I just love the way your brain Works. It´s so inspiring.

[@luannsummers8275]

Love to watch you create. It's never boring but very inspirational. Keep up the great work.

[@sherelynwhite4130]

Never ever "boring" lovely lady...always enjoyable and inspiring! 💕So jealous of all your vintage papers. I live on a island with no good 2nd hand shops☹ Thank you and look forward to your next video. Oh...and love your murder mystery stories! Hope you'll have one to share again soon! Take care now and warmest aloha to you!🌈🌺💕🙋‍♀️

[@marcellahoward89]

NOT BORED at all!!! Loved hanging out with you and watching your process! TFS!

[@potterylady]

You weren't boring me at all. I love watching the artist process, and you are a lot of fun to watch as well. I love your patter!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

[@teresitalamas5304]

Are you kidding boring never your talent is captivating and I would never even put my phone down with your videos. I just loved this one to the point that I have not done my house work today.😂thank you for this Beaty.

[@barbibarnum]

You weren’t boring at all! I love when you do this kind of video

[@cheryldimatteo9046]

You could never bore us!!!! You are the master of all book-related art!!! Keep it coming!

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Fun! And I promise not to mention this to Jim! Good to see this type of video again, so thanks!

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

I have BOXES of things that never "got off the ground. " This'll be fun to do with all those silly things.

[@Cindykm70]

The old style video, missed these. Loved this. Keep them coming. You can never be boring.

[@suneliebenberg3263]

I love everything you do, and your ideas are always excellent. I would love having access to that kind of old materials, but it is very scarce. As you mentioned...it's important to us... but the older generations did not think like we do. Thanks Nik, this was great! Makes me want to run to my stash!

[@patriciawalker9470]

Love 💕 your journal ragginess!!! Right up my alley 😉 TFS

[@pamelaburke9250]

Love your raggedy signatures! Thanks for the inspiration. I want a sewing machine!

[@marthagomez-sanchez4440]

Loved it! Especially your humor is inspiring as well along with your craft!

[@AnotherMADCreation]

I love watching other artists creation process and to hear what they’re thinking as they are working, so i love these videos! Tyfs.

[@myzanyself]

Absolutely love this video! I love being reminded to be more spontaneous when working! Thank you so much!

[@theplumcreekbooksmith]

Loving ALL these ideas!! Thanks so much! Looking forward to the next installment!! 💜💜💜

[@juliekeil8791]

That was fun! More, please. 😊

[@NorthlightsStudio]

Love this! I could see this being a great way to make something special inside an old book cover! On a side note I physically saw one of my Doctors today and showed her some of my journals I’ve made. She found them very interesting. I do love showing them as they are really something that seeing is a whole other experience with.

[@NiktheBooksmith]

Oh yes or as lapbook inserts! I've been meaning to start another lapbook 🤔 Isn't it curious how there are those who love to buy beautiful things and those who'd rather create beautiful things?? I am thankful there are both sorts of people! Its good to "hear/read" from you, my friend =)

[@ellenverhoeven9626]

Love, love, love this and watching you put another beauty together!! 😍😍😍

[@susanmary4752]

This was so much fun to watch!!!

[@angelafernandachristenseng9884]

It is such a pleasure to watch you create! Thank you for sharing!

[@craftygrandma56]

Congratulations on your 100K subscribers!!! I am so so happy for you!!! Love your journals!! I had to giggle when you said they look like a mouse chewed on the Minutes; my mom's love bird used to love love love to chew on the pages of her cookbooks which I inherited and so loved to chew on my dad's hair or mom's knitting or the newspaper that my dad was trying to read. LOL!! seems like so long ago!!!TFS

[@leannegordon7439]

LOVE this video ... TFS your fabulous ideas.

[@eileenthomas9983]

I was “glued” to your video - what a fabulous imagination you have! Thank you, I learnt a lot!

[@marjoriewright5808]

I loved this video, Nik! A great way to use fragile book pages! TFS

[@Kim-sd1ft]

Pulled out a pile of bits and pieces, and made with you. Thanks 😀

[@willeycat6747]

Loved it! MORE! MORE PLEASE!

[@janinewoodhull3611]

Not boring! You asked about the direction of the lined paper you used. I like the lines to help my writing stay straight. But, I wouldn't mind turning the book to write sideways in order to use the lines. 😊

[@darlalove]

Love this ! ❤️🤩

[@thegildedpaintbrush9276]

[@daniellelombardi180]

It's been a while since you've put together signatures. I enjoy watching you put them together and honestly just the selection of papers that you use. Please do more....!

[@junepatterson7928]

Love this type of journal.

[@carolaasen9345]

I too love the crumblie bits! It's very attractive in a good way. I feel like I'm preserving someone's thoughts, life and history! Thanks for all you do❣❣❣❣
