Thank you for your interest-looking forward to seeing YOU here a lot. Take care --
my take @ The Lake-out for now. =0)
Nicely done! In mine I made each page a signature. A lot of sewing, but it laid flat nicely.
I’m happy to see someone else appreciates those beautiful calendar pictures and saves them. I really love your lighthouse one, especially.
I am with you on the speed of which people take things away from the camera. I have always noticed people hold up an item forever until it stops being blurry and the instant it gets in focus they take it away!
Thanks for the shout out !
Sewn signatures will likely hold up a whole lot better but oy, you've more patience than I do!
As a writer/English instructor, the #1 rule of content creating is "consider your audience" = BE considerate of your audience. Seems so many people don't even give "us" a thought, lol
Great idea! I have calendars i want to use but didn't wanna lose the pretty pictures. Thanks Ker and Jeanne!
I'm so jazzed with how they came out, can't wait to fill them up! I'm SO glad you liked the idea 🤓
Oh yes I loved Jeanne’s calendar journal too.
Now that’s a bunch ! I love them all, the photos are all so vibrant and large ( it’s that photography link )
You’re helpful instructions were so clear thank you, definitely something I will try.
🐾🐾
Sooooo funny you said Jeanne's done one too, I remember her mentioning she'd like to...but "didn't know she had"
So I went to her channel to find it and there big and bold are comments from me. Clearly I watched it but it obviously didn't register. OMG I'm beginning to worry that my cheese is slipping off my cracker, 🤪.
You're right, hers turned out beautifully !
Calendars are a great resource for so many things. Great video and yes “slow that shit down”. Geez already !!!
Have a wonderful weekend. Rain maybe on Sunday. Of course this weekend we’re camping. Lol 🤷♀️
oooooooo camping in the rain is one of my very favorite things...I should rephrase: I love rainy days while camping (once everything is set up, etc.) Enjoy! We're supposed to get clouds on Sunday, thunderstorms on Monday and rain on Tuesday. I'll TAKE IT woohooo!
Happy Camping!! 🏕
😂😂😂"Slow that sh*t down." I'm crying laughing. Great ideas and tutorial!
AWESOME sauce! I'm so glad you get my humor 🦀 Thanx so much for watching and taking the time to comment: much appreciated 🤓
LOL right?
That's funny I laughed to
This was so cool to watch!!! I’ll definitely be trying this!
Ohhh! Big fun, good for you 🤩 I love how they turned out. I can't remember if I said this in the video, but my YT friend Jeanne Baney sewed each one of the pages into a cover (vs. gluing them together as I did here) so there are always options. And I love me a gooooood themed project, lol
Thanx so much for stoppin' in for a bit and hangin' out here with us 🤓🌊
Love how your calendar books turned out 🤗 Great Crabby Crafter call outs 🦀🦀🦀🦀 Ooooooh that purple car 💜😍 and the horses 🐴 and the lighthouses 🌊 and the dogs 🐶 All our favourites 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanx a bunch, thank YOU so much for comin' by 🦀💜🌊🤓
Hi Ker...fantastic idea with all my themes also whhooot you rock chika love yer crabby crafter rants lol hugs from Canadah! :)
Hey there, I've been thinkin' about you--been a while since I heard from ya'. Are you out in the great outdoors again now that the weather has turned? Hope all is well with you 🦀🤓🌊
Good morning Ker! 💚💜🖤 This is so fun, love it! I remember you had another video about using calendars and it inspired me to pick up a horse one at the local dollar store while I was out. I still have some old calendars as well because I thought the art was so beautiful I planned to frame it one day. I don’t really think I’ll ever frame all of them (or even one lol!) so this seems like a perfect way to give them a new life and be able to enjoy the artwork. (while adding some of my own glue book touches!) Big thanks to you and Jeanne for the inspiration! 🥰🐾💕
Glad to be of help, like I said, I'm jazzed with how they turned out. Now that the "practice runs" are out of the way, I can make a few with all the beastlie calendars I have and FILL them with beautiful beastlies pics. Can't wait to see how yours turn out, a flip-through in our future perhaps 🤓
I love, love, love this idea! I'm always seeing the gorgeous calendar pictures and wondering how to preserve them. I'm looking forward to trying my own version of this🤩❣
EXCELLENT!! ⚠️Warning: They're addictive!! Of course, the higher quality calendars end up being better books, but the cheapo's don't do too bad. Another way to use up the XL calendar pics is to make a giant glue book here's a video on that, if you're interested ua-cam.com/video/joX4PUTfwd0/v-deo.html (made from grocery bags and a gift bag). Thanks for stoppin' by for a while 🤓
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol Definitely always interested in new ideas! Thanks😃
Great video…you always come up with some interesting ideas. I started thinking about the photo calendars my son and his wife make for me each year. I never know what to do with them when the year is over…can’t bring myself to pitch them. So maybe a journal where I can put other photos of them and journal about the fun things we do. Hmmm… Also another great crabby crafter rant! 😂
I found out that Jeanne made hers too (a while back, a video I have NO recollection of watching, but my comments were there, oy...) instead of gluing them like I did, she sewed each one in as a signature into a special cover she'd made. She has far more patience than I do. But that's another option.
glad you got a giggle 😉
Oh boy I love the lighthouses and the classic cars... Great way of using the calendars I don't very often get the larger size ones but I generally use the images from my own ones. As for the images that other YTubers show... Definitely slow that s**t down... It bugs the hell out of me too. 😊💕👏🏻👏🏻
Hahhahhaha, The Crabby Crafter always has something to say, she's alive and crabby...I'm so jazzed to have found a use for the big calendars as I have saved dozens of them over the years. I've about enough dog images to fill 125 glue books so, these will serve as a great base AND I get to keep those lovely, but HUGE, beastlie pics. Since posting this, of course I've seen a couple other people who have used the big calendars in a similar way, but this way keeps the large wonderful pics in tact. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🤓 HUGE help for the ol' and all powerful algorithms lol
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol nothing wrong in being crabby about people that show they don't think about the viewer... 😒💗
@@ChattylaineCreates exactly!
I do have so many old calendars and this is such an amazing idea Ker! You always make me chuckle, I love it.... "slow that sh@t down!" lmao. Thank you for sharing ♥
lol ooooooooo! I get so frustrated, hahahah 🦀🦀🦀
Fun, Real video...Slow that shit down 😂 so funny so true.. I can't wait to make one, you make it look so easy and fun. Thanks for sharing ❤ just had to subscribe
Ohhh! Great to have you aboard Lorna! Thanx so much for hanging out here a bit and for subscribing. So glad you enjoyed the video 🤓
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing! I’m a Boston mom and I get what you’re saying about the difference between them and Frenchies (although I love Frenchies also). I’m gonna go make a glue book now.
YAY! A Boston mom, that's soooooooooo cool 🖤🤍❣️ I love Frenchies too, they're so dang vocal and adorable. (Have you ever seen Walter Geoffrey on YT? Hilarious) What my problem with that channel, is all about credibility. If they're supposed to be a Frenchie channel, and THEY don't know the difference...that's problematic. I don't trust their "expertise", lol
Would love to know more about your beastlie: name, age, quirks...no pressure though 🐾💜
We had five at one time, Bean was here 3/4 of the time (he's a friend's but I babysat a lot) then we got Ridley and Riley (litter mates) and 1.5 years later Bitsy and Buddy came (litter mates, different parents) plus a big shelter dog named Samson. Absolute bliss when all 5 Bostons were here. It's just Bitsy and Buddy now...the house is SO quiet with 2 instead of 6, lol.
GLAD you're off to make a glue book (from an old calendar 📆 I'm assuming, hahhahhaha). It doesn't take long at all and WOW what a fun project.
Thanx so much for stoppin' by and taking the time to comment, much appreciated 🤓
My Boston is Dolley who is 8 years old. We got her for free as the last of an unplanned litter. But she has cost me more than any other dog I have owned! From bad skin allergies, severe reactions to shots and bee stings, to surgery to remove shredded toy fabric in her intestines, she has been costly. But she is so affectionate and wants to be in constant contact. I love her so much! We also have a pug/shihzu mix named Mamie and they are best friends. My first experience with a Boston was my Reagan, a Boston/poodle mix. What a wonderful boy he was! I have seen Geoffrey and I’m not sure how I would handle such a verbal pup🤣 Thanks again for the tutorial!
@@cynthiahogue7724 Dolley's very lucky to have someone who cares so much for her. My Riley was a mumma's girl too, always right by me. I've had loads of dogs and they all have their own personalities, but the Bostons seem to have ten times more than most breeds. I was always a "shelter savior" until Bean came into our lives...he was such a ball of sunshine and love.
Thanx so much for sharing, I love dog stories, but especially hearing about Bostons.
Hi Ker! Oooh, I love this wonderful idea ….I don’t have any calendars, looks like I’ll have to ask around😉🥰🌸
I'm SO pleased with how they're turning out. Of course, the better quality the calendar, the sturdier the book but so far they've all worked out just fine. Thanx for watching!
Library has them for free in January
Guuurl! Yesssss, Love this style & I can't wait to try it. You had me laughing with the lady who doesn't know her own dog. I'm sure it's one of those channels. Like, how do you not know your own Furbaby?! 🤣🤩
Yeah, I kvetch a lot, so glad you appreciate the humor, it came standard with the package. Glad you like the idea, I love having something to do with all those beautiful calendar pics.
I also recently made a GIANT glue book with paper grocery bags and a large gift bag, I think it's 12 x 14, for another place to put those big beautiful beastlie mugs. Here's the video if you're interested (my process video will be out...eventually, lol) ua-cam.com/video/joX4PUTfwd0/v-deo.html
Thanx for watching 🤓
@@TheCrabbyCrafterlol YESSSSSSS! 🤣🤣 I can't wait to watch! Fabulous ideas 🤩🤩🤩
So, I don't think I ever put the process of making the XL glue book from grocery bags on the main channel. I did put it on my Crabby Crafter Clubhouse as it got a little "heated" and if I edited all of that out, there wouldn't have been much to post 😂🤣😂 what a pain the arse that was, lol.
I didn't know that you had a video of making a glue book out of a calendar i knew there was some videos on UA-cam i was watching Wendy and decided to Google how to make a glue book out of a calendar and there you was so i watch your video. How long have you been making videos
I've been here a while, I've over 300 videos in my "library", lol. LoTS of bingewatching to be had, hahhahah. So glad you found the video. My friend Jeanne Baney had mentioned trying it to save the beautiful large pics that we buy the calendars for and so we both ended up doing some. I glued mine and she sewed each page in as a signature (that was WAY too much sewing for me 😳)
You can always "search" UA-cam, just like you do Google (YT is the second largest search engine in the world, next to and owned by Google). I like to call it The University of UA-cam, bc you can learn practically anything here.
Happy crafting 🤓
I've watched this video many times and I can't help laughing at your video when you Say slow that shit down 😊😊😊😊😊😊
I saw a greeting card a few months ago in Dollar Tree with a picture of clearly a Frenchie and the card had a greeting regarding a Pug. I have a Pug and that was not a Pug it was a Frenchie.🤦♀️
Frustrating isn't it??? If only everyone were DOG enthusiasts and knew what the 😤 they're talking about 😂🤣😂
