    I don’t normally comment on these, but I have to tell you, as much as I love making pretty things, I find the technical “engineering” aspect of figuring out how to get all the parts and pieces working together properly is just as much fun. And nobody does this better than you do! I’m loving this series!!!!

    Oh that was horrible, absolutely horrible... I didn't get anything done I just kept watching. 😁😁 love your videos so much and finally took up Junk Journals again. Used to do them before they even had a name and was deeply frowned upon by ppl because I was using "trash" and not "proper" craft materials. So I stoped for many many ...many years (yepp I'm kind of older then I was then) Yesterday I stained paper like crazy and today I'm gonna do some beads and stuff. Super huge grateful THANK YOU for pushing back up on the path of books, journals, junk, mixed media and allll sweet paperstuff

      Jacqueline Wiley they are in very nice shape. Not perfect but really nice. I’m asking only what I paid. I’m just sharing not trying to make money. Kind of a group effort thing. I paid $8 each plus shipping. The shipping was for all 10 so I’ll only charge what it costs to get it to your house with the packaging. Not a cent more.

I agree that the multi pocket flip out was necessary... but I was sad to see that paper go. Oh! And I love that you use the word Mainard. Reminds me of when I was young. 💜 I’m along for all part 10’s of this lapbook. 💜😁👍🏻📚

Well.....woke up at an ungodly hour this morning and decided to use the time to print out the instructions for the file folder element and thought that maybe I could find a copy of this book on eBay.

    I love this project! I have been following you the last few months. I do scrapbooking, tn & mixed media; now I need to find some old books. :) FYI: regarding the reinforced slits to insert tags, cards, etc, Kathy Orta King of Paper Phenomenon has done them.

    Love the fold out and the slotted page! But think I cried a little bit when you glued it onto that blue paper lol (I'm in a blue colour phase right now).

    The sliced pockets look like they are smiling back at you!

    I'm really enjoying this series. Makes me want to find some books that will work so I can make one.
