NIK, I just wanted to let you know that I just spent all day (literally 10 hours) watching Nik the Booksmith videos and I loved every second of it. A perfect lazy day off of work. I can’t wait to make a lap book for myself or a loved one. Your videos are very informative and humorous at the same time. I never feel like your trying to sell me something and I LOVE that. It’s just good information told in an entertaining way. THANK YOU so much for sharing your wisdom and creativity with us. With love, Jenn
This is such a beautiful project - I am enjoying it so much. A LOT of work for you . . . I am awed by the editing alone . . . I leave in so much that I should take out of my videos. You have given us an entire course for free that you could have charged a lot of money for. Thanks so much!
I have binge watched all 10 of these episodes over the last 24 hours. Nik, I'm in love. I have a bunch of large books that I am using to cut pictures out of but didn't know what to do with the covers. Now I know! Thanks for sharing!
42 is the ultimate answer to life, the universe,and everything. Snagglepuss often said, "heaven to Murgatroyd." i can't believe I knew both of those! This series has been amazing,thanks💕
I was just going to bed and there was a notification on my iPad .. suddenly there was no going to bed, because .. who can sleep, when there is a brand new video from Nik, just waiting to be clicked on!? I think also I’m mourning a little .. afterall, she said, that she was going to finish it up 🥺 You are the Empress of handmade books and just about everything else too, I’m sure 🥰
this whole project is sooo beautiful! I'm a long way from being ready to make something so complex, but boy I learnt a lot watching you. Thank you so much for the time you spent making this video to share with us. And I have book envy, I really really want to OWN this book!
Hitchhikers Guide! Big science fiction fans here! I had so much fun making a 42 card for my son's birthday last year, and I gave him a DVD of the movie. He was so tickled. 🙂
Can i just tell you how refreshing it is to open your videos, and NOT have it start with an ad? I'm always expecting to sit thru an ad like every other video, and when it doesn't happen my brain instantly relaxes. Lol. Am i alone here? P.s. - i would still sit thru 5 min ads to watch your videos, I'm just sayin'.... Thank you. Lol
Jenn Iles It doesn’t bother me as much in the beginning, I’m thrilled that there’s no ads in the middle of the video!! I ended up unsubbing from someone because there was a minimum of three, yes 3, ads during the video. Annoyed the heck out of me! Thank you Nik for thinking of your viewers!! 🙏🏻💕
Yesss!! It’s so cool just to binge watch an entire playlist without all of the ads. Makes me want to go to Etsy and buy something of hers just to say thanks. For not spamming us!
It is always so refreshing to watch your videos. I am always amazed at how you come up with endless ideas for your projects! thank you for sharing, and I'm looking forward to the next video.
Oh girl! Love all of this so much. So every time you say oh should I do this or this you ALWAYS pick what I'm yelling to you. Except for the last blue paper 😞no no no. And I'm hurting for those blisters on your fingers! And I'm starting to talk like you, to myself ,of course ,I call them"Nik isms" like "Oh this needs a little" sumthin sumthin" love you!
Nik you are just amazing I am so enjoying every page of this Lapbook. You are just brimming over with inspired ideas Keep them coming. Sending you greetings from the UK. Kath xx
Nik! You did it again! ...love this series; and I can't wait for your office stuff kit. Please do more of (for your printable) of not distressing the items...I go through yellow like we eat it for dinner! thanks again for your series.
Love!!! I might want to make one of these for my daughters first birthday and just have it set to add photos and tags with little memories written and the napkins haha would be fun to have something like this as I don't need a full journal for one day! You inspire me! You complete me!
Haven't heard anyone use "heavens to murgatroyd" for years. I'm loving this lapbook series, not to mention you. This is my first set of your videos I've watche, but it certainly won't be the last
Your creativity constantly amazes me! I'm enjoying this series so much and want to make my own lap book at some point. Fascinating all the way through - thank you for sharing your process, Nik!
I’m still really enjoying all of this. 40 minutes goes by fast imo. I appreciate you sharing the entire process with us, thanks so much Nik!! Love this lapbook. 💜😁👍🏻📚
Love it, love it, love it! The answer to the meaning of life and everything :) Thank you for all the fish . Your upload schedule has been corresponding to my insomnia of late so I have been able to comment really quickly but I'm forcing myself to bed earlier so I can be awake when the sun shines. Just so you know, it's me, not you ... Its all about me XD Don't forget your towel xoxo
It's also from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. AND there are the 42 Laws of Ma'at AND if you watched the LOST TV series, the number 42 was one of the numbers on the winning Lottery ticket that one guy had.
Great project Nik. I’ve heard you reference Eva at Bohemian Crafting & how amazing she is, which she absolutely is. But….you are just as creative. Your really masterful with crafting. 💜
I didn't know the Sponge Bob quote but this one I know. lol-----42 is the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything----I AM LOVING THIS WHOLE PROJECT!!!!!
Here and ready to go! So pleased the drawers are finished- nothing like being -or at least looking like😉-organised. Fabulous start to my weekend! Thanks Nik!
I still like this project! What a nice creative idea with the window pocket and the 2 sides libery card. I would use a double sided. A wish all of you a good weekend
Love that glassine window! Very cool! Can't wait to make one of these. Still looking for a cool old book cover. TFS the inspiration and creativity, Nik!
Just so loving your tutorials. especially this one with the window made from old glassine paper, wish i could work out this Flickr to download your freebies, but so happy learning from you thank you Nik x
How cute are these pockets and enveloppes they make this lapbook ready to recieve all sorts of things...forine i don't know which ones yet....lol, but i follow you and go on adding pockets,flips out,tips in and so on....Don't know neither if I 'll be abble to close it when it is totaly filled....^^ Thanks Nik .big hugs Christine
LOVE Love LOVE it Nik!!! You make great videos. The instructions ate so easy to follow. Did I mention I love this Lapbook! Love ya Nik! ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚
You didn’t hear me yelling all the way from Pennsylvania-“No, not the blue!!” I really loved the color palette of the opposite side, but it’s not about me, I know. This lapbook is really coming along-I so can’t wait for all the embellishments you’ll put in it! Have a great weekend! 😘
Oh yeah... the answer to the ultimate question? 42!! Love me all of Douglas Adams! (Please tell me you've read his 'The Meaning of Liff'' - yes Liff.) And while we're at it... 'Heavens to Murgatroyd' is good 'ol Snagglepuss. Head full of useless information! This is becoming a legendary lapbook - loving it.
LOVE this!!! And now I'm wondering if you might do something to the OUTSIDE of the cover . . . [evil grin] with half your audience screaming, "Nooooooo!" at their screens. Mwahahahaha
42 is the answer to the ultimate question. Unfortunately, the Vogons destroyed the planet before the computer finished running the program to give us the question. I’ve read way too much Douglas Adams. You know, if you put those holes closer together, you could use one of those 2 hole punches, which I have. Hmm. I also have some of those clampy things that use the 2 hole punch. 😏 Really enjoying this. It’s coming out great.
Love this!! I truly enjoy listening to you, Nik. I feel like we're friends! Where can we find the Poe library card stuff? I don't see it in the Etsy shop, or your Flickr page. Thanks, Nik, for your inspiration. You'll never know how much you cheer people up when times are rough. Just sayin'...
Love this series Nik. It’s always an inspirational day when a new post goes up. Have you ever worked with wallpaper as a book cover? I was thinking cheesecloth or Tyvek backing might stabilize the paper. What do you recommend? Also sealing the surface, PVA or Mod Pog?
VICTOLARIODS LOL. Is that how YOU would spell it? This series is similar to watching a good television mini series, when one episode is over you anxiously await the next and not wanting it to end. Great job Nik. Before this I had no idea what a lap book was.
I love how you made photo corners, what a clever idea, I've always struggled with die cuts, etc., but now I can make them without all the fuss! I was telling you to ink the photo corners just a little then I realized I was talking to myself, that's how engaged I was listen to you, I had to replay your video because it went by so fast. Your ideas are endless!
Late to the party. I've been binge-watching this series. I just wonder, though, once you finish with all the pockets, folders, tuck-spots, tabs, pantoozles, and flippy-flaps, will there be room for anything?
NIK, I just wanted to let you know that I just spent all day (literally 10 hours) watching Nik the Booksmith videos and I loved every second of it. A perfect lazy day off of work. I can’t wait to make a lap book for myself or a loved one. Your videos are very informative and humorous at the same time. I never feel like your trying to sell me something and I LOVE that.

I adore this project! It's like the cargo pants of bookbinding! TFS!

i can't believe I knew both of those!
This series has been amazing,thanks💕
Your attention to details is always outstanding. There are so many great ideas in this project!
I was just going to bed and there was a notification on my iPad .. suddenly there was no going to bed, because .. who can sleep, when there is a brand new video from Nik, just waiting to be clicked on!?

Hitchhikers Guide! Big science fiction fans here! I had so much fun making a 42 card for my son's birthday last year, and I gave him a DVD of the movie. He was so tickled. 🙂
When I saw this video was up, I threw both arms in the air and hollered YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I love this project!
I got a little giddy when I saw another video from you in this series!! I am adoring this project so flipping much!
Can i just tell you how refreshing it is to open your videos, and NOT have it start with an ad? I'm always expecting to sit thru an ad like every other video, and when it doesn't happen my brain instantly relaxes. Lol. Am i alone here?
P.s. - i would still sit thru 5 min ads to watch your videos, I'm just sayin'.... Thank you. Lol
I get super confused when there's no ad :D :D
Jenn Iles It doesn’t bother me as much in the beginning, I’m thrilled that there’s no ads in the middle of the video!! I ended up unsubbing from someone because there was a minimum of three, yes 3, ads during the video. Annoyed the heck out of me! Thank you Nik for thinking of your viewers!! 🙏🏻💕
Sally Ride - what does that cost you?
Yesss!! It’s so cool just to binge watch an entire playlist without all of the ads. Makes me want to go to Etsy and buy something of hers just to say thanks. For not spamming us!
I guess I'm quite off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch new movies online?
It is always so refreshing to watch your videos. I am always amazed at how you come up with endless ideas for your projects! thank you for sharing, and I'm looking forward to the next video.
love this so much! thanks for bringing us in on it. Donna's got nuthin' on you!
I've repaired and restored books but I've only made books at workshops.i absolutely love this project. I can't get enough of how you are doing it.
Its always so much fun to hang out with you and listen to you and see all the COOL awesome ideas you have come to "life".
Once again I am blown away with your creative ideas!!!
Love that old glassine and your "Victoloroids"!😂😺💕
Oh girl! Love all of this so much. So every time you say oh should I do this or this you ALWAYS pick what I'm yelling to you. Except for the last blue paper 😞no no no.

The way you use papers is inspiring
You didn’t hear me yelling all the way from Pennsylvania-“No, not the blue!!” I really loved the color palette of the opposite side, but it’s not about me, I know. This lapbook is really coming along-I so can’t wait for all the embellishments you’ll put in it! Have a great weekend! 😘

Love this, omg I’m hooked🤗🥰🤗
42 is the answer to the ultimate question. Unfortunately, the Vogons destroyed the planet before the computer finished running the program to give us the question.
I’ve read way too much Douglas Adams.
You know, if you put those holes closer together, you could use one of those 2 hole punches, which I have. Hmm. I also have some of those clampy things that use the 2 hole punch. 😏
Really enjoying this. It’s coming out great.
Some great ideas in this one Nik, loving this series. Hugs Susanna xx
This is really cool...you are the one to pull it off...you sound better...Hugs 📚❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s the answer to life, the universe and everything!

Thanks, Nik, for your inspiration. You'll never know how much you cheer people up when times are rough. Just sayin'...
the number 42 is the answer to everything
42 was from the Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy
Wow I love it tfs xx
I was yelling "yes" to the blue paper! I guess I yelled loudest
Love this series Nik. It’s always an inspirational day when a new post goes up. Have you ever worked with wallpaper as a book cover? I was thinking cheesecloth or Tyvek backing might stabilize the paper. What do you recommend? Also sealing the surface, PVA or Mod Pog?
You cracked me up, 42 is my lucky number! Lmao
"Victolaroids" love it. A Nik-ism
VICTOLARIODS LOL. Is that how YOU would spell it?
This series is similar to watching a good television mini series, when one episode is over you anxiously await the next and not wanting it to end. Great job Nik. Before this I had no idea what a lap book was.

Do you have the library cards available for digital purchase?
HELP!!! I can’t find the “Library Pocket with Card” digital. Is it available? Where is it?
What type of eyelet installer are you using? I love it! I doing a lap book binge. Love your videos.
Oh. My. God. Am I actually the first viewer? My life is complete now x
Karen Luuk I’m right behind you 🤗 Nik is gonne give a piece of her love, before I fall asleep (it’s after midnight in Denmark 😌)
Haha, Rosa! A fellow Nik follower. I didn’t know you lived in Denmark. I LOVE Denmark xx
I was born on Faroe Islands and I have lived i Denmark since I was 13 .. now I’m 51 .. you do the math 🧐
Late to the party. I've been binge-watching this series. I just wonder, though, once you finish with all the pockets, folders, tuck-spots, tabs, pantoozles, and flippy-flaps, will there be room for anything?
