DIY PASSWORD KEEPER, ITSY BITSY SPIDERS & ANOTHER FREEBIE!

[@brendagraw3729]

I missed you Nik!!! I feel so good after watching one of your videos. Thank you for being the unique, funny, sweet entertainer you are. By the way, love the Web site keeper journal.😆

[@406annie]

Ahhahahaha! 😅😂🤣 The ending was so cute and creative, Nik! Spiders don’t scare me (too much), though. And I NEVER turn my back on them. Love the ridiculousness - and practicality - of the password keeper! Because yes, why use it if it doesn’t look great? This cute cover could be adapted for so many things. Love the labels!! Thanks for sharing this fun project with us. 😊👍♥️ Great new camera angle, too!

[@sweetcurly28]

Amazing! It looks like it’s old and that’s why I love your work! The corners aren’t ridiculous! All the details are necessary 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@toriswanson5451]

I'm with you on those awful critters! I know they are supposed to be helpful BUT NOT INDOORS! I swear I can hear them walking as I run! Love this Lima Bean book! Thanks so much.

[@mariep-MAPAT]

As a fellow arachnophobiac (is that even a word?, well I guess it is now! lol!) I totally can relate! I had to phone my 20 years old son who was upstairs in his room yesterday at 1 am to help me (he wasn't asleep, luckily for me), cause I couldn't go to bed due to a huge spider on the living room door, blocking my way out! No way I would go too close to this monster! But My son is my hero! He opened the door very slowly, and was able to catch the spider between a cardboard and a glass and put it outside, so we were both safe! Lol! Oh! Great project by the way, thanks for the freebies!

[@tricianilsson6870]

I love your attention to detail! It’s what makes your work special. I will give it a try, you inspired me.

[@KatheD]

I LOVE this book! As a computer and security geek I *have* to tell you, don't write down your passwords! 😮 There are secure apps for that. But this fabulous book would be great for calendars, note pads, addresses, all kinds of other things (including lima bean recipes). 😀

[@ThePaperOutpost]

The funny journey of the circle punch! I took a spider outside once and it was immediately eaten by a lizard. My hubby had a nice laugh. Great tutorial Nik! Thanks! Pam :)

[@candyentingh4579]

"Grandma Ida's Lima Bean Recipes" I'm still laughing! This is beautifully and originally ridiculous...I love it! I'm like you...no spiders allowed in the house. And I agree they are fast especially when you turn your back to collect a weapon of death!

[@vintagestudio7175]

Oh my goodness! This is my christmas gift to people this year! I seem to lean toward making my journals something practical people can use... I will try to post mine when they are done!

[@sandracaldwell1603]

Oh my, you are so clever (and funny). I am in awe of the stuff you create. Thank you so much. You lightened my day and gave me another project for my gigantic must make list. 😘

[@suruha2306]

OMG! You are a hoot! Thanks! I really needed a good chuckle! The password booklet is neat! I'd lose it, though! I 'forward' the 'sign up' or 'password changed' e-mails that come from the sites where I am registered back to myself after adding the password as the message. Then, I store them all in on folder in my mail. I can always find them! LOL Thank you, ma'm!

[@mywithallmyart]

I absolutely adore your videos!!! You inspire me AND you make me laugh!!!

[@tuthillg]

Cute idea for getting organized, Nik! Spiders suck! TFS the inspiration!

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Episode at end of video - yep that's me! (The expression on the face of that little girl...!) Love the password keeper - nothing ridiculous about it! Just back from reading the comments below - they have spider emojis??? Now I can't read any more comments...

[@suestoons]

ROFL OK, not reading any more comments. Leaving now. Bye.

[@melindagoodermote4305]

Oh my gosh your hysterical!!! Love this password book ....... oh no I mean Lima bean recipe book!!! Lol

[@tobygonyou5303]

loved it! thanks for the laugh. something to add to my happiness is book....thank you

[@cathyyosha]

Well, that whole thing made me laugh. I am ridiculous, too, cause I thought the password keeper was adorable.

[@carolyoung3793]

Love this booklet and who else gives a comedy show during the tutorial lol tfs everything lol xx

[@carolblair665]

Spiders hate peppermint (Mice too!). Mix 3/4 water with peppermint oil from spice rack at store. I spray around doors etc. and places like under furniture or around bed pillows (important one). We have recluse spiders here and they are bad!

[@ultraviolet13881]

Nik, think I just watched this for the second time (it's now two years ago), but I am just having the best time, laughing out loud about the spider and your scream just cracked me right up. Thanks for your sense of humor and for sharing your WONDERFUL books. They have inspired me to NO END -- I am even going so far as to have my sewing machine spruced up because I want to make folios like the ones you have done on camera. They are GREAT and I hope all is well with you and your family during this crazy time!!

[@annedwyer457]

Oh Nik you crack me up! Thankyou for lifting my day.

[@bettejowelton7459]

I love it! Ridiculous is way too much fun.

[@helenbrill3026]

Oh Nik, you crack me up! Spiders are horrible little hairy things aren't they? I have a book especially for my passwords but nothing nearly so pretty. I think I will have to make a new one now. Thanks for sharing your talent with us, you are always great to watch.

[@anhaddad]

Just for good measure, I’m saving this video in my ‘Recipes to Try’ playlist. 😁

[@bobbiehoward2739]

Thank you Nik. Love (and need ) this.

[@clc3897]

CIA, FBI, STATE DEPARTMENT, ETC. needs to stamp all their confidential and top secret files with Nik’s “Grandma Ida’s Lima Bean Recipes” labels. Nobody in their right mind would even think to look there. But I think you missed the opportunity to make a label called “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”. That would be a surely overlooked book of secrets that would safely sit on any of your desks and tables in your house. Always a good time watching you. 🥰

[@lindaknox7725]

I think your project is just perfect and I LOVE the corners and the addition of the marbled paper.

[@helenelegace1323]

Ha, you had me in stitches.... I made one of these a while back for my mom, (84 and still going strong on the internet) because she's had trouble keeping up with her passwords ever since I told her not to use "password" for her password (LOL) anyway, I included space for those pesky security questions. I think from now on, when I make them, I'll stamp a spider here and there to think you you. LONG LIVE THE RIDICULOUS. LOL! SQUIRREL!!! Okay, the end really got me. I'll never sleep again either. My sympathies on the loss of your house, mine will be next. Who else is up for a bonfire.

[@tinatulips6667]

Cool cool cool! Great little stocking stuffer. Thank you thank you for the idea. However, I'm going to be very lazy and just decorate cover and back of a little Journal.🎄🎄🎄

[@fortheloveofvintage7347]

Tina Tulips Great idea for stocking stuffers. The girls I work with would love it. Thank you Nik for the freebies

[@debbievaughn8502]

Love the password keeper book...Since I'm old, I give a lot of gift cards as gifts, but like to have a little something with them...this is perfect....so...again, the instruction was perfect...the book adorable...but the spider video with your written commentary at the end was the freakin' best part...the end.

[@LauraHickmanLauraHickman]

Thank you for this... Just made this project as a birthday present. It's the first book I've ever physically made. I think I'm hooked!!!!

[@cindymatsumoto5989]

Nik...your squirrels are running wild!! However, I personally find them to be so very charming to be around!! The coup de gras was timed perfectly at the end with the ridiculous size of your ditsy bitty tinny weenie spider! Not to ever take away anything from this very very cool tutorial!!! Thank You!

[@1888starz]

Thank you for the great password keeper. I made myself a tabbed alphabet little book but its a little tatty now. I'll use this to create another booklet so very grateful for this newbie! Cute little booklet for rediculous turned out recycledous. Fantastic!

[@theresasuttle711]

I love the pw keeper and totally agree, give me a snake or lizard any day! Spiders are such a quiet sneaky bunch who come at you from ANY direction and leave their sticky, invisible ‘road’ where you walk through it, just so they can watch you dance and laugh!

[@nicolastone421]

Nik you brighten my day every time I watch your videos! Thank you for being you! Much love from all the way across the pond! ;) x

[@porchswingdesignsmarilou7323]

'I don't like spiders and snakes and that ain't what it takes to love me, you fool, you fool!! Talk about old-timey songs!! I don't like anything mentioned in the chorus of that song! LOL Thanks for the big laugh, Nik!! Thanks, too, for sharing a fun tutorial and goodies with us!! xo

[@sharona8737]

OMG the spider part was HILARIOUS. My husband was staring at me while I laughed crazily.

[@eileenpawluk6455]

OMG Nik!! You had me laughing so hard the tears were running down my leg LOL I L❤VE this project ❣ TYFS 🙃🦔

[@teresalilly7]

I was laughing too..especially when she inserted the DeNiro Clip..I lost it !!..But I love the Password Book I did..Thank you Nik..xx

[@TRYHEART67]

Nik, love it! Glad I got to the spider story. You make me laugh...😂lol. And then....wow, that’s a lot of passwords! I’m afraid I’d misplace that book of passwords tho....lol..love those labels too!!! Think that’s a great little book to make for Christmas gifts! Love your channel and everything you make and your personality!!! I chuckled to the end...💕💕💕vicki

[@belindaosgood]

Love this Nik. And all your "ridiculous" touches are perfect. I am going to attempt to make 5 of these between now and Christmas Eve - and my printer ran out of ink after the first one. I need a Christmas miracle ......... ;)

[@michellewohlgemuth8847]

This is super! Thank you for sharing! I too stay away from spiders, but mouse to me are the worst monsters.

[@lori88ish]

OMG you have no idea how much I need this, finally a way to get it all organized something I am not very good at. Thank You so much for the freebie and the tutorial your the BEST Hugs and Smiles

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Your booklet looks like a gorgeous ledger. I love it. It is all worth the effort. Nik, that spider was so little I could hardly see it.. I do not like spiders either, not in the house. They are caught and put outside. I make a spray of lemon oil and witch hazel and spray that around our doorways. It helps a lot.

[@michellebrown7000]

Dear Sweet Neighbor, last night I found myself crying watching this video. Yes, humanitarian needs had me up at 3a, so I decided to catch up on some videos. Between the Lima Bean Recipe label and spider scenario, I was rolling. Love watching your tutorials Lady Crafter! Hope to meet you soon! Happy Crafting, Michelle down the road!

[@lorimiller3535]

The only thing worse than finding a spider in the house is losing a spider in the house!😳😱

[@eydnamortensen5985]

Hahaha, oh Nik! Just know I am laughing with you not at you. There is only one thing worse than finding a spider inside your home and that is loosing a spider inside your home! I totally understand your freak out. As a child I was never afraid of bugs. Then the boys in my school found this great game called " let's throw spiders and other gross bugs at the girls". I had really thick bushy hair and the bugs got lost in my hair. I would shake the hair vigorously to try to get them out, only to be told half an hour later " you have a spider in your hair" or even worse one would dangle down from my forehead in the middle of class! Yeah I got a real phobia now, thanks boys! Grrrr... Love from Denmark

[@michelles9117]

1st time commenting. It's New Year's Eve 10pm in England. I'm watching craft on YT because that is MY idea of a good time. You just made my night...great video tutorial but the real treat was your spider story. 😂😂😂 I'm not keen but I don't freak out. I usually name them because they do stick around for a while you know! My last lodger was called Brian. 😘😂

[@floief]

Mine is "Sylvia". Whenever I see her scurry across my desk I know that soon I will have little "Sylvies" gliding down on threads from the open beamed ceiling to watch what's going on in my monitor. (Honestly, I need to climb up there and re-caulk that beam)

[@christinahunnicutt8611]

So sorry about your spider scare! Hoping you have recovered. Anyway, this is soooo timely, I was looking for something to use up scrapbook paper and give out as small Christmas gifts and this fits the bill!!! Woohoo! Thanks Nik, you're the best and I look forward to what you have coming next! Take care girl! xoxo ( oh, just a note, when you hit menopause as I have, you WILL need this many pages because your memory goes offline!) :(

[@tiawanagriffey7257]

The folding of the corners isn’t as ridiculous as you say... it actually reinforces the corners so they are less likely to get dog-eared. Love your videos!

[@grogers511]

What a cute idea. I just finished organizing passwords in a password keeper book.

[@farmgirlre4634]

awesome! I will be making one. thank you Nik for making this so fun to do! Love the entire video. Happy Happy!

[@colleen3450]

Thank you soooo much. This is great ! I'm making one for each of my family members for Christmas !!

[@kimheron1275]

Oh my gosh Nik, you have totally made my day!!! Perhaps even my week. I was so excited to see that you had a post up. I don't really need that book, but I watched anyway because I just knew you would make me smile!! And boy did you!! Not a fan of spiders so I totally know how you feel. Thanks so much for making me smile and laugh. You're the best. Don't ever change!

[@christierella]

I enjoy your guiding of the lilly! I may not go all the way out there on a password booklet, but I love knowing your tips & tricks. I love seeing how Nik the Booksmith would do it.

[@kelseyjones4031]

Love this idea! I am going to make several to give as gifts! Thanks so much.

[@LiterarySnob]

I love your little book!! I have been using an old little address book. Glad you are back!!! We need to compare our senior moments!!

[@Kysh65]

Ninja Spider!!!! 😂😂😂😂🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️ Lol you are hilarious ❤

[@lindawood8862]

Thank you soo much. Not sure when I will get to it, but I grabbed the files. Hope your Holidays are wonderful. hugs.

[@ellabella2603]

Thanks! I need a password keeper, um I mean a Lima Bean recipe book. Looking forward to the sale too.

[@kimbontrager9456]

YES, YES, YES!!! And then every once in a while, they think I need to change it!! UGH!!!

[@melissakinnear828]

Welcome back, welcome back yourself!! Ok, your chocolate chip vid is my favorite, but this 8s next. Love this project! So helpful at home and work. Also, love your quirky sense if humor. TFS!! 🤗

[@helenwood1]

Wonderful and not ridiculous.

[@JWimpy]

Everyone gets the Mickey commercial wrong. Actually, the boys said, "Give it to Mickey, he hates everything." Because they were afraid to try the new cereal. But Mickey liked it so it must be good.

[@rebeccaPBC]

My maternal grandmother’s name was Ida...LOL! Love the video. Thank you!

[@beverlygreeson1426]

I love your Lima recipe book! Thanks.

[@mistyday269]

I just wanna make sure you understood how much laughter this brought to my whole household. My MIL used to live with us when my kids were young, and that dish was HER favorite dish. Mine and kids...not so much!😂🤣🤣🤣❤️

[@ljc.youtube]

I was wondering about using grommets in the spine, it looked so much easier, I guess you are locked into a 1/4 spine minimum, but it seems to cause much less strain on the paper/pages. A few years ago, it was the change of seasons, winter had arrived, I took down a sweater from my closet shelf that had been sitting there all summer long, put it on, got in the car, headed off to the long drive to work, then all of a sudden I felt all these "little things" on my scalp... so it seems, by putting on my sweater, I had disturbed a nest of baby spiders, and they were then contemplating whether or not to call my scalp home... so, yeah, ew.

[@melissapettis3133]

I have missed you and glad for your new tutorial and freebie. I will definitely will make you, thank you.

[@BarbOwenDesigns]

I feel your “spider pain”. I’m like that with mice. 😵 Loved your book. As always. 👍🏻

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

OMG Nik my daughter was just looking at one of these. Guess what I’m making her. Thanks

[@roseandtraincottage]

Love the details in your work!

[@barbaranoble9748]

I thought I did something wrong because I could not find you Nik! I'm glad you are back. Love your recipe book..lol.

[@PaperTerrace]

Lovely project!!

[@sherryfingerlin7595]

What a cute idea. I have been using an address book. Going to make one of these. TFS

[@quarterblindsocialworker]

You just make my day!! I love your stream of consciousness style and just your mind on screen!

[@jilllech9785]

Oh Nik, this is the best laugh I have had in months. Sorry about you having to burn down your house, but I understand completely. Loved the book and your humor.

[@leoluminary]

What a delightful idea and execution ... the out take of the invader at the end made me laugh out loud at my own response to spiders...thank you for the entertainment and the wonderful freebies.

[@annieliz1965]

Brilliant - thank you Nik.

[@marilyntorsch3970]

Such a great idea! I keep mine on an excel spreadsheet. But I really like this idea. Spiders are very scary for sure. Thank you for sharing,

[@donnarainey9169]

Thanks so much Nick. I so needed this.

[@gerryschipper9778]

Amen to your spider, or any bug, in my house philosophy! Hysterical ending!🤣

[@loismeyer9417]

HAHAHAHA!!!!! I'll light the match for you!! 'Cuz that's the kind of friend I am! I thought you were very brave to make a second filming in a room where that beast was roaming around ... well done you! HAHAHAHA And just so you know ... I thought this craft was a GREAT IDEA and it WAS NOT too long! Some of our brains (OK, so maybe it's just mine!) need the detail explanation so that I can follow through and make one of these. Actually, I may end up making a journal out of it but that's because you're not my Mom and I can do what makes me happy. (Right now one of my passwords is written on a 3X5 card, wrapped in foil, and is in the freezer ... maybe I should look at this option.) Thank you, once again, for giving me so much joy watching your tutorial!!! ~Lois

[@abigaelmacritchie1365]

Also, your spider story and video was simply the best thing of the week! I'd rather catch the plague than be in he same house as a spider. I had a 3 day adventure with one that would struggle to fit in a jam jar in my 9m2 studio flat back when I was at uni. It involved one neighbour hitting it with a financial magazine, an unexplained disappearance of the dead body of the spider, its reappearance the next day, alive and a bit worse for wear, me throwing a boot at it, the supposedly dead body disappearing again while I was taking a shower, and a final intervention by another neighbour who picked up the fat b*stard and sent it flying over the garden wall.

[@sooth15]

Will you do a page by page tour once it's all filled-in? Hahahahah. Seriously I love it. It would be equally nice as just a paperback notebook.

[@Schatzie301]

Love this - going to make one right away and retire my old pitiful one. You are a delight - always make my day!

[@lorikendrick5076]

I love lima beans and liver! But no one else here does so it's good for me! I was thrilled to see this book. I need this! Thank you.

[@cynthiaagee4813]

Ridiculously great! Thank you!

[@shellydrake1691]

I’m with you Nik! I hate spiders! Outside whatever, but when they breach that threshold...Funny video and an inspiration as always! Thanks! Hugs

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Nik you are awesome......Thank you so much, I really really love 💕 this idea 💡. I really really appreciate your talent, And your fantastic sense of humour. xxx Mags

[@BarbaraHenry]

Love your projects always and the spider , do I ever understand that. You crack me up Nik. Thanks for that. 🕷 My cats are my greatest defenders for the 8 legged creeps. One cat found a spider on my pillow behind my head. Gaaa! Purple heart for that kitty.

[@kriskrumanaker4315]

The marbled paper is awesome. It's not dumb. We spend far too little time making useful things beautiful.

[@ritabrassfield4296]

Had to revisit this, I have to make this cutie . As far as the spider goes I totally get it! I would not have been able to craft for days.

[@jaytee2642]

Don't let my squirrels dictate what your squirrels do. ROFL! We need to start a book of Nik-isms. Sorry about the spider. I don't like them, but they are part of life. I have a friend who has an exterminator coming to her house Monday because she saw a spider. 'A' spider. One. Um, ok. 🙄 She swears it was the size of an elephant. 🐘

[@kellyhitz150]

I don't care where your squirrels take you. Sit back and enjoy the ride. I know I have. Take as long as you want, I don't think I have laughed so much watching a video. Keep up the great story telling.

[@4711Dorothea]

lol such a tiny wee spider I have some friends that are the same, I have a catch and release program in my house and we have some pretty big spidies here in OZ. Love your work as always you are amazing , thanks for sharing with us.

[@gretchenkleer9252]

Ha ha ha hee hee...gasp... you are a riot!! loved the spider footage (more laughter). A new story, awesome, cannot wait! Toodles. ;-)

[@mickansj334]

Nice to meet again Nik !. What a great idea and it looks very nice. Thanks for the freebie.

[@karensallows9348]

Adorable little book. I always tell the spider he has to pay rent or die! He usually choses death.

[@suestoons]

So very kind of you! I never offer a choice. All spiders that come inside the house face death. If they want to live, they must stay outside where I can walk away from them.

[@deniseramirez9706]

That's a good idea Nik. There are so many passwords to remember these days we may need two books :). Thank you for always sharing such good ideas. I love your spider scene, that was hilarious. I laughed so hard at the commentaries. Love it!
