Who doesn’t have a stupid life now and then 😂 Many of us love your‘stupid life’ stories because we can relate... 👍🏼that’s why I’m still here after 5+ years...💝 Thanks, Nik 💞
@@NiktheBooksmith does it have firmware or have updates options on it? My security cameras frequently quit working and that’s always what it ends up being. 🤦🏼♀️ Hope a mur$derer doesn’t come in when the cameras aren’t work sometime. Lord. Tech great. But tech pain in a$$
By the way Nik, I know you are not my mama but you are the whole reason I fell into the rabbit hole of junk journals. I don’t think I have ever told you. I was innocently researching book binding because (who knows why) I found a book on it at the thrift store and there you were in ALL your glory. I have watched you for years. Your books are really works of art.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video! I just turned 71 today and decided I want to make a junk journal. I will definitely come back for more of your great videos!
I recently completed my first junk journal. I did so many things different than what you just showed us but I don't care. I love my Positivity Journal. My cover is a laminated (single side) piece of 65 lb card stock. I have 38 pages, one signature. I have a lot of bulky ephemera and approximately a quarter inch spine. I made it just for me to look at when I need a little lift in spirits. I'll post some pictures in the group. Just don't laugh when you see it. BTW, you can tell us your troubles any time. It always helps to share with people who care for you. We do care.
Very nice video. I'm sorry to hear you have lupus. It's a terrible disease. We knew a young woman with it and such painful condition. Kudos to you for pushing on every day.❤️
I love the stories. It's nice knowing other people are dealing with ridiculously annoying headache, or worse, inducing situations. Seems like for me 90% of the time it involves tech. The other 10% of the time it's wasting a day being put on hold. If I'm really lucky it's both.
My daughter lives in Dallas and says it is definitely a sauna, and she says melting is imminent! you are a good sister to visit Texas in the summertime...or maybe anytime! I love your videos...at your least accurate, you are immeasurably better than I am at my most careful....I admire you and your books immensely. Please keep on making them and sharing them, they are fascinating!
Yes .. the cover is amazing! Any pamphlet other than the 3 hole scares the beejeebes out of me! 🤷🏻♀️ So watching the 4 hole was good therapy for me! Lol. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so happy you’re back. My brother also lives in Dallas. It IS horrible at this time of year. I have to tell you about an old book I have. I inherited my great-aunt’s books many years ago. They’re all hardback. My favorite is one entitled “Words of Wisdom from Shakespeare”. Being a Lit teacher, I eagerly opened it. It’s blank! Completely blank! I don’t know if it got missed in the printing process or if it’s a joke, but it absolutely cracks me up.
ADHD IS a struggle!!! I've said it before, and I'll say it again - everything you create, imo, is better than what you can find in a commercial store. Your babies are completely gorgeous. I'm a paper crafter via scrapbooking who primarily creates cards now to raise $ for rescue people/organizations (I can't bear to see animals in distress, either). I could, however, go to jail to keep them out of harm's way. I digress. I also love making jounals, but it's been a while. My point - there's a card creator that regularly has story time. Love them. Likewise, your story times, whether they're struggles, which many of us can empathize with, or mysteries, or whatever, are always interesting and informative. Personally, I think stories help us to connect. If the nay sayers don't like them, they can turn off the volume and turn on the cc's. You do you and we're here to support you. This is way after the fact, but I hope your headache went away quickly. As a migraine sufferer, I really feel for those who also have them. Sorry for the long post!
Everything seems to be going wrong for hubby and me these days. So, while I'm sorry for your hose and especially the headache issues, sometimes it's comforting to know you aren't alone and that we all have times like that.
I LOVE your tutorials so very much! You are THE BEST book binding expert I have ever watched! In love with the papers you picked for the inside covers - looks so vintage. LOVE this!!! 🙂
Nik, you are in our tribe!!! Everyone enjoy stories and updates.😊 Hope to see you again soon. Prayers and love for you to stay out of ER, feel better.💜💜💜
You are the fashizzle!!!!! You are my favorite and have been so for years now! Sooo how about a new journal with me video! I love them and miss them so much. Love this tutorial gonna give it a go. Big Hugs,GinaB💕😍💖😉😘
Welcome back. I just enjoy watching, listening, and learning how to make over a book. I hope to try one soon. Thank you for sharing. Feel better soon. 😊
Thanks for teaching us about papers & grains! Wow - 9 signatures! I barely make it with 3!! That's a beautiful, old book! Thanks for the video! I hope your headache goes away & you feel better!
Hello Nik, Dallas? If you'd have come just a bit farther eastward you could have found me in a small town called Glenwood, AR. I've been a bit out of commission/functional since the 1rst. I'm mending while watching/listening to my favorite UA-camrs. Whenever you want to post a video, I will still be right here. Take care young lady and God bless you and yours. Now I can watch the video. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
One of the main reasons I subscribed to your channel was because of your chitchat, your rapport with us invisible viewers. I enjoy what you talk about and I enjoy the content that you create. So just keep doing you. Haters gonna hate and ignorant don't even know that they are. (apparently, they also don't know where the mute button is). I have been known to watch content with the mute on and listen to a book on Audible at the same time ... never your channel, though.
Nik! Who in their write mind (!) would ever use a pamphlet stitch after watching your technique? Thank you so much for sharing your great wisdom. p.s. I miss your mysteries.
This would take me weeks! I love it and I have some beautiful covers, but I mess up everything 😂. I will have to do a practice one first because don’t want to use the good stuff. But I will come back to this video when I’m ready! Hugs 🤗❤️
I highly recommend doing a practice piece first. My first one is already starting to fall apart but that's fine. I'm using it as a scrappy note jotting book currently. I learned a lot in the making of it too. :)
I love a good story! And I love how explicit you are in your demonstrations. You are my go-to for book binding techniques and ideas. You always inspire 😉
We all love you Nik, it's called compassion 💞. Obviously some just don't have any. I pray that your headache subsides quickly. God bless you 😇. Becky B
You know we all love you, Nik. Sorry you’re having a frustrating day with irrigation - I, for one, feel your pain! Love this book - reminds me of how I fell in love with the book I did for the deserted island challenge (wrong name…?) - Little Girl Lost. Gotta love finding the ‘perfect’ vintage book to recreate… Love you, girl! Stay well, k? …. ‘Cause’ we love you…
Oh dear, Nik. I have migraines all my life!!! I sympathize with you!!! I would not even be able to focus on that amount of detail on that book!!! You are amazing. As you were saying you took something for your headache, I was reaching for my own bottle. It does look like raw muslin. You were lucky to find it. Good luck on your headache!!! Sending love, hugs, & sympathies!!! ♥️♥️🥰🥰🌺🌺
Fabulous. In our family, I am The Keeper of all Things. I have receipts for coal delivery from 1943. The whole year. Shoe receipts from Fontius. (Remember them?) I have a great map from the Silver Dollar hotel in Nederland. Many papers go back to the 1800s. It is time. I am going to make junk journals out of these “precious” family flotsam and jetsam…I mean, er, heirlooms, and gift the results to myself, my heirs, my brother & cousin. Thanks, Nik!!! Never disappointed with your videos. ❤
Love listening to you Nik 😊even with a stinking headache. Always feel inspired after watching your videos and that following your steps a decent standard is achievable x hopefully the tech gods are kind to you and your headaches clear soon ❤
I'm here for all the odds and ends. Quite entertaining and amusing, mostly because we all have garbage in our lives and days when we should have just pulled the covers over our heads. Also, watching you be not-perfect while your making things makes it all feel more accessible.
Firstly I hope your headache went relatively quickly. I was so invested in your watering process but I seemed to have missed whether it actually worked in the end 😂 I loved your tutorial and it has made things easier for me. Your mess behind you is kinda like the whole of my craft room- and I wonder why I can’t craft or find anything!Thank you for sharing ❤
My first Nik the Booksmith video! Loved it! Very inspirational. I’ve been repairing books and making books for a long time and was sort of in a lull.(Why am I doing this? Blah,blah) But, I just love this art. Thank you!!📚📚📚
I LOVE ths journal cover. I'm so glad you saved it and are sending it on a new adventure!!! Great video, as always. I love how precise and professional you do things. I always know your techniques will be the best you can find on UA-cam. And I also love to do detail work that makes everything look the best it can! Thanks for your excellent video. Austin TX USA
Your book turned out beautifully Nik..I cannot believe how people say things like they do..they should be great-full people like you show how to make the things you do. I think your stories make your videos that little bit more interesting anyway..don’t stop what your doing..much appreciated 💗
I love the tip about using double sided tape on book covers. I have had the warped c over situation a few times and it is very frustrating. Thanks for the solution!
I'm new to your channel, and I am very happy that I ran across it. This was definitely informative and took away the beginner fear. I also enjoy the life story. It makes me feel a little more connected, and it's nice to realize we all have the ups and downs 😊 Thank you for sharing!❤
Love the stories and your humor. So relatable, and the tutorials are great. So keep on keeping on ! By the way you have a lot more patience than I would have, In trying to get a WiFi thingy working...
I love how you teach us in your videos, I love to hear about your life (hoping that the tech side of the watering has solved itself... sometimes I wonder if there's a little Gremlin/Goblin living inside tech-thingies, just messing with us when we're thinking everything is fine and then 'that thing' just... Nope, don't think so! and it's giving us grey hair in abundance, or worse, a headache...) and I just love your youtube style. 😊 I really like how the 4 stitch binding looked on the backside of the green paper you glued down. And you gave me an Aha! 💡 moment when you stated the obvious go having an even number to be able to stitch the signatures the way you did now. Inspiring, fun video as usual! Thank you, Nik! 😊
I always enjoy your videos and hearing about your life. I hope your headache is gone by the time I watched this and you resolved the watering issue. Your process and instructions are so calming and easy to follow and the end results are always fab. ❤
I always LOVE watching your process Nik!! I build along the way when I make a journal...I don't know exactly how my signatures will look until I start and then "adjust accordingly" as well!!! I love your creations!!! And let's talk about the cool music for a minute!!!!! Fantastic!!! xo
Fellow Lupus person of here - the word optional days suck… Especially when you have talking to do. However - I am totally stealing your “tossed word salad”. 😂 Always looking for ways to stay that words are not happening or they are happening willie l-nillie - follow my train of thought or be lost. 🤷♀️ Love the book. Thank you for sharing your craft. You have helped me learn so much - and that I can still do the things even when my body is not being cooperative. And yes - ERs are a major time suck. I try to stay away as much as possible.
"Sultry. Soul-sucking." I've heard it both ways. You have perfectly illustrated why I stick to doing TNs--MATH! I'm well-impressed that you could do all that measuring &c. with a headache. Not even with help from the phone or mouse in my pocket could I do that!
Hiya Nik!!! Thank YOU!! Always LOVE your " Chit Chat" btw!!!! Hope you are feeling fine this day and the ones to follow!! 🤗💪🙏💝 TFS Your Knowledge and Insight! Oh! And for making me Smile or LOL! You ate Truly A Very Gifted Gal!!🏅🏆💐🌹 Take Care!-M
Wow Nik that looks so lovely. I bet this type of book would sell well. I've got so many old, nice hardcovers laying around..I need to get my arse in gear.
Who doesn’t have a stupid life now and then 😂 Many of us love your‘stupid life’ stories because we can relate... 👍🏼that’s why I’m still here after 5+ years...💝
Thanks, Nik 💞
😄 I appreciate that, thank you!

❤ Nik, dont change we love you ❤ I had no interweb for 6 days, my head nearly exploded try to get that sorted. Take care 😊🌹
Your technique is amazing. Other videos are incomplete compared to yours.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video! I just turned 71 today and decided I want to make a junk journal. I will definitely come back for more of your great videos!
Love your life story's. I am having a bad migrane day and knowing someone else is having the same kinda of day makes me feel less alone in this world.
Another sufferer here! You are so not alone!!!!😘
Umm, me too. I hope yours goes away real soon . 😣😥
I live in Fort Worth. You are being kind by describing it as “sultry.”😜

Great video! I love that book cover, and first time I've seen 9 signatures sewn in. Love you and your channel, and like to hear your life/stories! 🥰
I think your "stupid life" stories are hilarious!! 🤣. Thanks for sharing!! Love your work!! 💚

Enjoying this…. like…a year after you filmed it, lol! Your fun videos have staying power…❤
Even several years into making junk journals myself, your videos still teach me something. I love your style.
“Sultry” sounds so much better than “hotter than hell”! Love your videos. Susan, sweating from Houston❤
Me and the mouse in my bucket 😂 this is why I have to watch your videos over and over ❤
I certainly don't mind hearing about your " stupid " life. I still learn from you and get to feel like I've also gained a friend. Thanks! ❤

I am glad you shared your life today! When you do that, I feel like I get to know you as a friend.

Haha! “The first one won’t be perfect”….neither are the 2nd, 3rd or 4th. I’m still waiting for perfect. Thank you Nik! You make it look so easy! 😂😂😂
I love the chit-chat. I’m amazed at your patience for problem solving. I would have kicked that timer to the curb. As always - great video. ❤❤
Everything seems to be going wrong for hubby and me these days. So, while I'm sorry for your hose and especially the headache issues, sometimes it's comforting to know you aren't alone and that we all have times like that.
I'm amazed that you can even function with a headache. Great job soldiering through!
We appreciate that the struggle is real! We love your stories and projects!
That was awesome and I love your personality also. You had me giggling out loud.
I just really enjoy your vids! partly cuz of you and partly cuz of what you make.🦌💌❤️📚

Beautiful book Nik, as always! Love your stories! I’m definitely on team “life stories yes”.
Hi Nik, loved the video 🤩 So sorry that you had a terrible headache Please be safe Luv ya 😘
Sorry we gave you such a heated welcome. It's no better now with days passed and days ahead all over 100 degrees. Thanks for this tutorial. Nice
I'm here for the chatting.... Though I also appreciate the crafting. You are a great teacher.
I enjoy your chit chat. Need another mystery

Thank you! Such a wealth of information. Will definitely watch again before I begin altering a book for the first time.
