I wanted to say that I love your videos! I love your chatting to the camera, your sense of humor. Your chatting to the camera makes the viewer feel as if they are there in person. I have watched this whole lapbook series and miscellaneous other vids of yours. I have no idea what I would do with a lapbook but you have done such an awesome job of showing us how to make this and more importantly for people like me, you have shown us how we can decorate it. I am great at building journals, but fall short when trying to decorate and embellish my journals. I loved your video where you painted your mary jane type shoes, I have a pair that I love, but if I decide I want to change them, I can come back to your video and know how to change them up! Sorry for the long comment, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos and your personality! I look forward to your next videos! Brenda Moffett
I have been in awe of your work for a long time! Your mind has so many fantastic ideas! This has turned out beautifully! You are one talented lady! Thank you for being so inspirational!
Been watching this whole series eagerly. Always excited to see what's next. Lapbook is looking great Nik. Thank you for inspiring me to try these things for myself.
I just found this series yesterday and only one more to go! I loved it. I love watching and listening to your videos - it's like I'm with an old friend - I'm usually not the one initiating the conversation anyway LOL. Your comments today about having many projects going at once struck a chord. Today I made and decorated an Elsa/frozen cake for my 2 yr old granddaughter's birthday tomorrow, painted a wicker hamper that I'm going to do some napkin decoupage on and cut out fabric for a pair of shorts. I finish most projects - better with a deadline - but some I lose interest in and they fall into the UFO group. I've learned not to Knit or crochet anything bigger than a hat or it will be passed on - unfinished - to the next generation. I would love to make a lapbook like this.This may sound strange but while I would love to create one or several I don't think I would like to have one. I'm not a journal person but the creative part of this is so inviting. Now I have to decide who to make it for. Thank you so much for all of your work in doing these videos and sharing your talents with the masses.
This whole lapbook series has been amazing to watch, it is stunning. I cant even guess what kind of price to put on something so beautiful. You have a new fan as soon as I see your post that's it I have to watch. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and your stories both entertaining and informative. Hugs and Smiles from Canada
"Enabling the squirrels"--ohmygosh! Laughing so hard I spewed coffee on my keyboard. (Again.) You slay me, dear Nik. Your talent and your humor; and, you know, you GET it. Well, my old books finally came (thank heavens for eBay) by way of the Pony Express (media mail). I have already watched each of these videos twice, but now that I have my STUFF, I will go back through and watch them again. Thank you so much for your generous and joyful spirit. Everyday, when I face up to my dragons, I think of you and how you show the way, and find more courage.
I've binged watched all of these in the series, but I started with the last one first. What an amazing project and I wish I had even a portion of the vintage pieces you put into this lapbook. Beautiful work.
OMG!! I feel like we are two peas in a pod Nik. I am just the same, have loads projects on the go...........I can't sit and 'do nothing' always have to be doing something even if I watch television........... my brain still goes 10-to-the-dozen when I read and I have to re-read pages. I get really excitable and manic easily...... haha!! The only difference is that I LOVE sorting and cleaning.......even the fridge....... I even do things in my sleep haha!! This lap book is just amazing.... I can't wait to make a start on one.... Oh and I love that your hands and nails look like you are crafting, mine were covered in different coloured dyes and inks the other day when I was EXPERIMENTING with trying to change my white trimmings.I will catch up on Seraphina....😃
Those hands remind me of all the adventures, that I have with the kids at work, when I have joined them in digging up all sorts of treasures in rainy and muddy weather .. and we had a lot of fun escaping boring chores for hours. Your hands must have had fun 🤗 Thank you for another fabulous upload 🙏🏼
Thanks Nik for making my day … again !!! Love this series ( Lapbook ) and look for the email from you with the next steps Yeah … it’s here !! You are so talented and your hands are beautiful. Thanks for a pic of your kitty … sweet kitty. ❤️❤️
@ 7:08 very observant. I always listen not only to what people say, but also what they "didn't say" And BTW, I have been "enabling my squirrels" for years. I can't remember a time when I didn't😉
Squeeee! That Poe thumbnail just made me all kinds of happy! I’m neck deep in a kitchen remodel too! My stuff is all over the main floor of my house, and I cant find anything! But floor is happening today, then the cabinets before the 9th! It WILL be done by Easter.....
Go you, oh great and amazing ‘Obi-wan of Paper’. I’m looking for a bigger spine for my next version of this, had to stop as the first is TOO full and there’s no ephemera or paper in it! Had a blast 😆😆👍
I just subscribed to your channel after having watched your videos for months. I do not have your vision but it is fun that when you are deciding on a color or pattern I almost always pick the same one you choose. I admire your imagination and your attention to detail. I love that you hand make so much of your work. This lapbook is an inspiration and something I will be trying for sure.
Man I'm SO with you on hyper-focus!! It can be awesome for getting something (you like) done but it can be so bad for your health! Forget to drink, forget to eat, not realize you have to pee until your bladder is literally painfully screaming at you.
Another great episode, thanks! Those little glue clusters are a brilliant idea - they look so good. I think maybe your cat has 'selective deafness' - she meowed when you said "fish to fry"!! Take care.
This look awesome. I am starting this process that is decorating and then putting in some embellishments. Thank you again for these tutorials. I am loving my Lapbook.
Nik... it's not just starting a zillion different projects all at once... it is called multitasking.... and is a highly sought after skill in the business world.... and for the record... I love your multitasking and the fact that you share them with me. hugs
This project is getting better and better! I think you just have the problem of people with ADHD! My son and I are exactly the same: going very exited with a thing, but not be able to concentrate on it for a very long time, or going all for it! Typical!! I get you, Nik!!! Cool! We finally get to know what's happening to Seraphina!! Hugs from Belgium!
Your hands look like mine. I've never been diagnosed as ADD, but my older brother recently was as an older adult. And we are a lot alike. It does explain my inability to ever finish cleaning my house. Parts get cleaned. But nothing ever gets finished before I get distracted. Sigh. And then there's Crow Disease - oooo! Shiny! What were we talking about??? This is really coming out great. Loving all the decisions you are making. Looking forward to the new ideas too.
Thanks for this series--you are always a great inspiration to all!!! re hyperfocus (and ADD): I once worked for twenty hours straight on a chapter in a book that was going to press the next day. I couldn't recover the footnotes I had inadvertently deleted and had already discarded the handwritten notes. I too am either all on or all off, but I'm grateful for having the ability to have done that.
Those little glue clusters are adorable, Nik! I agree about the 3 in 1 and Fabri-Tac and I have found that the 3 in 1 is generally cheaper too. This lap book is incredible! Thanks for the inspiration and creativity, Nik!
I love it, it looks amazing Nik!! I can't believe it's almost the finale though, can we have another season 😁 I'll have to check out the Seraphina (sp?) video. Good to know about the fabri Tac being the same. Wal-Mart had both but only the fabri-tac was in the larger bottle (will get that next time if cheaper). My daughter has a large movie ticket collection so I'm making a commonplace type book for her to keep them in. Lots of lovely pockets and tuck spots etc... I'm getting so many wonderful ideas from you thanks so much for sharing 🤗
My focus is like spotting a Squirrel or chasing a Rabbit. I get started and then the something sparkles and the race is on. I love this book, I am gathering thing to make one. I want to wait until it is finished and begin my project. Thanks for sharing.
You are so much like me that it cracks me up!! So maybe both you and I need to print on the backside of the labels something that says “sticker!! Sticker!” 🤣
This is such a fun and interesting process. I am so sad to see this come to a close. (Yay! There is still another episode!) I love this lap book so so much! ❤️ So inspiring and inspirational Nik! Love to watch you start another!!
I'm like you....I have numerous projects going all at once. As a graphic designer/artist, I have found that sometimes you just need to back off for a bit and let things simmer on the back burner for a time. It's all part of the process. There are so many opt;ions available that it can slow the process down. We love our variety, don''t we? So enjoy your videos!
Perfect & gorgeous! You always amaze me, with all the perfect detail things, too! Yes, I tend to do the many irons thing, but it usually starts out innocent! Maybe it's that "mom thing"? Start putting things away and just keep finding other things that need doing. So you, spend a few hours doing stuff, but looks like you didn't do much of anything. So, yeah. Lol The email thing makes me nuts too!! Almost as bad as the daily spam phone calls.. AAHHH!! Lol Pretty excited for the Seraphina saga to continue as well!! Was a great story! Had that cliff-hanger ending on the last one too. :) As always, thank you so much for everything you do! Big hugs!
I'm a squirrel chaser like you! I have four different projects going on right now. But your process is your process....it appears to work very well for you! Keep on keeping on.
I have been watching these on my tv in the living room, so much better on the couch. anyway, I got a crazy idea, I am making a tiny version of the lap book for a fairy themed gift I am making for my son's girlfriend. I got into my stash of match boxes and two of them make the perfect start. I am working on some hand stitching now after having glued a floral fabric to the inside and outside of the lapbook, tiny sewing is tricky, but I'm getting it done.
I love the technique. When I make one I’ll probably go less on the decorations because it would be too distracting for me. What’s great about your videos is that it’s all about creating for one’s own personal style, so we don’t have to get discouraged if our end results are not as fancy.
Greetings from Germany! I love your videos! You inspire me for so many projects I've done. I love too look and hear to you and I understand more english since I look your videos! Thank you so much! Birgit
"Forget to Eat"...I have no idea what that means!!! ;) I LOVE this series Nik...I think I'm going to go through withdrawal when you're done... :( It's truly Fantastic!!! xo
Hi Nik, loving your videos, as usual! I just wondered if you knew about a product called ReDuRan. It is fabulous to get dye based products off your hands. I discovered it some time ago while dyeing some fabrics and I love it. Normally, who cares if your hands are stained, you are a crafter, BUT if you are going out you might just had a go and clean them. ReDuRan is the product! And, no, I don’t have any shares in the company ;-)
my cat Ahri sticks her head thru the handles on plastic bags & takes off running...its soooo comical...I thinks she's doing her best cat woman impersonation
YES! I get the whole hyper/no focus thing 😆. I wondered why you seem so much like me. Must be the ADHD connection! Your cat is so sweet. I love white cats. And your lap book has been getting more amazing by the day ❤️
your video makes me smile and laugh...can't wait for the final (?) one....I wouldn't stop addind ephemeras even you told me...LOL....Got so many stamps and bits of nice and old papers to stick in my own Lapbook...you guide us so well showing your amazing project....I am like you,having started hundreds things.But not a RUclips chanel and Etsy shop to run.... Maybe one day...LOL Take time for a big glass of water....and have a nice day....or night....whenever you read this... BIG HUGS from France....
I think the page that says July upside down needs something 😜🤣🤣 Very cool book by the way. I have checked 2-3 times a day in anticipation of your next video! 😀
My Crafting Buddy is very task-oriented. She starts a project, works on it, finishes it and moves on. /sigh/ I get stuck, bored, have to wait for something to dry, have to switch up tasks to give my arthritic hands a break, the interruptions list is long and varied. Hubby started buying soft drinks at a wholesale store. They come in shallow cardboard trays. I save the trays. I pitch "a project's stuff" into a tray and place it aside as the list above dictates. I have stacks of trays with projects in them. When I can't find a particular stencil or stamp - that means it is time to go through the trays. This leads to discovering a project I'd forgotten about, get re-inspired about and today's project gets put in a tray and off we go.
Just to add another message for you to have to get to ;) I love listening to you chatter away to yourself. Wouldn't it be so great if we all chatted to ourselves like that instead of the other stupid stuff we say to ourselves. You are so cool Nik. X
TFS!! Can you give me any ideas as to what is s good color printer? Ido not yet do journals for selling, but for family. I have several portrait type pictures to print pet book, plus all the other printables. So every time I go to pick up a print order at Office depot, they want my first-born! It's getting crazy expensive. I have to have my printables, and since I've already loved my children for at least 20 years, it's becoming a close call. 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Oh my goodness. I absolutely start too many things. I’m a Gemini & so I’ve heard, our minds just never stop running. It’s not ADHD but just that I want to do everything all the time.
I’m still watching this, but had to pause to respond to your comment about too many irons in the fire and people who do things one at a time. I’m not only just like you, but I have multiple craft interests and I see projects that I like and I order everything for that project. The problem is that I then don’t remember which video I saw those items for and I now have a stockpile of craft supplies and hardly any completed projects. It’s driving my husband crazy!! After I watch this video, I’m going to go back to the beginning of my “liked” videos and try to figure out what projects I wanted to do and try to get at least a couple started!!! It’s really sad.... really, really sad!!

You are THE master of detail. THAT'S what makes your work stand out.
Kinda funny how deaf Izzy meowed right after you said “other fish to fry”!!
I have been in awe of your work for a long time! Your mind has so many fantastic ideas! This has turned out beautifully! You are one talented lady! Thank you for being so inspirational!
Great job! Your hands are useful, never apologize for them.

Thank you so much for all of your work in doing these videos and sharing your talents with the masses.
I can’t wait to see Seraphina come back-one of her episodes started my journey following you. I’m still gobsmacked over your talent!! 😘

You'll appreciate this one - "It's like trying to keep all the corks under water." 😂😂

Watching you is mesmerizing! Thank you for your inspiration and for teaching and entertaining me every time.
Who are these people who can do one project at a time? Prolly the same people who can read one book at a time! LOVE this! :-)
Squeeee! That Poe thumbnail just made me all kinds of happy!

Have so enjoyed this series!!!!! Your hands are creative!!!!! Squirrels, rabbits, Izzy!!!!! Thank you Nik. NRN! (No response necessary). 🤓
I recently finished a project I started 18 years ago!
😉😄
Yay Barbara! Better late than never 😉
What's your hurry?????
I'm an empty nester, too! 🙃🙃🙃
I 💙you for saying this!
Great work, loved this series!!
Man I'm SO with you on hyper-focus!! It can be awesome for getting something (you like) done but it can be so bad for your health! Forget to drink, forget to eat, not realize you have to pee until your bladder is literally painfully screaming at you.
Another great episode, thanks! Those little glue clusters are a brilliant idea - they look so good. I think maybe your cat has 'selective deafness' - she meowed when you said "fish to fry"!! Take care.
This look awesome. I am starting this process that is decorating and then putting in some embellishments. Thank you again for these tutorials. I am loving my Lapbook.
Hi Nik: what a journey this has been. Wonderfully fabulous. Thank you so much for your inspiration and talent. Never tire of it. :)
Ridiculously amazing Nik!!!! What a book full of scrumptiosity and numby ideas and inspirationacity!!!!! Thanks girl.
Nik... it's not just starting a zillion different projects all at once... it is called multitasking.... and is a highly sought after skill in the business world.... and for the record... I love your multitasking and the fact that you share them with me. hugs
I dearly love the colors on this! Just my style! I had to look up what a "lapbook" is. It's really fun.
This project is getting better and better! I think you just have the problem of people with ADHD! My son and I are exactly the same: going very exited with a thing, but not be able to concentrate on it for a very long time, or going all for it! Typical!! I get you, Nik!!! Cool!

This is really coming out great. Loving all the decisions you are making. Looking forward to the new ideas too.
This series has been so much fun. I can't wait to try this myself. I love how you have just picked up things to decorate with and in they go.
LOVE LOVE LOVE how this Lapbook came out. Awesome job Nik
Thanks for this series--you are always a great inspiration to all!!!
re hyperfocus (and ADD): I once worked for twenty hours straight on a chapter in a book that was going to press the next day. I couldn't recover the footnotes I had inadvertently deleted and had already discarded the handwritten notes. I too am either all on or all off, but I'm grateful for having the ability to have done that.
Those little glue clusters are adorable, Nik! I agree about the 3 in 1 and Fabri-Tac and I have found that the 3 in 1 is generally cheaper too. This lap book is incredible! Thanks for the inspiration and creativity, Nik!
Absolutely love the ideas and everything in this book! Thanks Nik! Look after yourself as well! ❤️👍😊
I love it, it looks amazing Nik!! I can't believe it's almost the finale though, can we have another season 😁 I'll have to check out the Seraphina (sp?) video. Good to know about the fabri Tac being the same. Wal-Mart had both but only the fabri-tac was in the larger bottle (will get that next time if cheaper).

Charlotte Ragan same! Nine thousand projects going and 2 finished bc of the darn sparkly new things. 🤣
You are so much like me that it cracks me up!! So maybe both you and I need to print on the backside of the labels something that says “sticker!! Sticker!” 🤣
Beautiful detailed work every time!! Love this !
Your hands are FINE! MORE MORE MORE Episodes like this series, or more series like this episode?! GREAT work Nik!
This is such a fun and interesting process. I am so sad to see this come to a close. (Yay! There is still another episode!) I love this lap book so so much! ❤️ So inspiring
and inspirational
Nik! Love to watch you start another!!
I'm like you....I have numerous projects going all at once. As a graphic designer/artist, I have found that sometimes you just need to back off for a bit and let things simmer on the back burner for a time. It's all part of the process. There are so many opt;ions available that it can slow the process down. We love our variety, don''t we? So enjoy your videos!
The lapbook is amazing. I love your creativity . Looking forward to see the last part.
Perfect & gorgeous! You always amaze me, with all the perfect detail things, too!
Yes, I tend to do the many irons thing, but it usually starts out innocent! Maybe it's that "mom thing"? Start putting things away and just keep finding other things that need doing. So you, spend a few hours doing stuff, but looks like you didn't do much of anything. So, yeah. Lol
The email thing makes me nuts too!! Almost as bad as the daily spam phone calls.. AAHHH!! Lol
Pretty excited for the Seraphina saga to continue as well!! Was a great story! Had that cliff-hanger ending on the last one too. :)
As always, thank you so much for everything you do! Big hugs!
I'm a squirrel chaser like you! I have four different projects going on right now. But your process is your process....it appears to work very well for you! Keep on keeping on.
I have been watching these on my tv in the living room, so much better on the couch. anyway, I got a crazy idea, I am making a tiny version of the lap book for a fairy themed gift I am making for my son's girlfriend. I got into my stash of match boxes and two of them make the perfect start. I am working on some hand stitching now after having glued a floral fabric to the inside and outside of the lapbook, tiny sewing is tricky, but I'm getting it done.
I love the technique. When I make one I’ll probably go less on the decorations because it would be too distracting for me. What’s great about your videos is that it’s all about creating for one’s own personal style, so we don’t have to get discouraged if our end results are not as fancy.
I like the old stuff too. The put time and effort in everything they did.
So beautiful... I need to expand my ephemera collection, more labels and definitions! TY, ma'am.
i love and appreciate that series!! Great work!!
Had to add another comment. Your kitty is adorable. Need to show her more often.
this is amazing - it just keeps getting better!
Love this whole series, it was so great to see it from start to finish 🤗, wait one more YES!, 💖🤗💖
NIK you're so refreshing what a masterpiece you have created love you to bits
Greetings from Germany! I love your videos! You inspire me for so many projects I've done. I love too look and hear to you and I understand more english since I look your videos! Thank you so much! Birgit
"Forget to Eat"...I have no idea what that means!!! ;) I LOVE this series Nik...I think I'm going to go through withdrawal when you're done... :( It's truly Fantastic!!! xo
LOL. There are times I forget that I AM eating. Hey! What's that? Oh popcorn. Yeah. Popcorn.
@@ruthsonger2178 YOU are Hilarious!! xo
You can always tell an artist by the hands. When my hands are perfect, I know I need to get back in the studio.
Supper job as always...looking forward to the finished project... and any new projects you may have...Hugs...
Nik, this is one amazing project!! Always blown away by your work. .... the daisies are being pushed way up : )) passive voice intended! XX
Oh, and the hands....... part of the art I'd argue.
Just absolute gorgeousness!! Loving this lapbook you’re making. 💜💜💜😁👍🏻📚
Hi Nik, loving your videos, as usual! I just wondered if you knew about a product called ReDuRan. It is fabulous to get dye based products off your hands. I discovered it some time ago while dyeing some fabrics and I love it. Normally, who cares if your hands are stained, you are a crafter, BUT if you are going out you might just had a go and clean them. ReDuRan is the product! And, no, I don’t have any shares in the company ;-)
my cat Ahri sticks her head thru the handles on plastic bags & takes off running...its soooo comical...I thinks she's doing her best cat woman impersonation
Hey nik. Thank you for those itty bitty envelopes they are too cute. Have stuck a few in my lapbook. Its coming along. Thank you for your freebies
Enjoyed this series! Love your lapbook...they are so fun!
This is great as great can be. Congratulations and thanks!!!
Love this! Looking forward to next video!
YES! I get the whole hyper/no focus thing 😆. I wondered why you seem so much like me. Must be the ADHD connection!
Your cat is so sweet. I love white cats. And your lap book has been getting more amazing by the day ❤️
This is a masterpiece. Beautiful work. Love it. Cheers from Oz 🇦🇺xxxxx
I have loved this series. The lap book is amazing.
Just wonderfully wonderful. You're a mistress. Thanks
your video makes me smile and laugh...can't wait for the final (?) one....I wouldn't stop addind ephemeras even you told me...LOL....Got so many stamps and bits of nice and old papers to stick in my own Lapbook...you guide us so well showing your amazing project....I am like you,having started hundreds things.But not a RUclips chanel and Etsy shop to run.... Maybe one day...LOL
Take time for a big glass of water....and have a nice day....or night....whenever you read this...
BIG HUGS from France....
So inspiring👍🤓 just had to make a lapbook myself and I get almost impatient waiting for your next video😉
haha@encouraging the squirrels :) I've loved the entire series, Nik.
I think the page that says July upside down needs something 😜🤣🤣
Very cool book by the way. I have checked 2-3 times a day in anticipation of your next video! 😀
Two of my cats are black and they are noisiest. I just love your book. I am new here. Thank you for your great ideas.
Awesome video, as usual. You are such an inspiration to me. Thanks.
Love this project, and will be doing it, once I finish one of my other 5 projects, LOL!, I try not to do no more than 5 projects at once.
Looking forward to the new Serafina book and continuing story!!
Are you going to sell this? I love this book!
Your hands are busy hands doing what you love, which look very nice to me!
Fabulous! I adore this project.
My Crafting Buddy is very task-oriented. She starts a project, works on it, finishes it and moves on. /sigh/
I get stuck, bored, have to wait for something to dry, have to switch up tasks to give my arthritic hands a break, the interruptions list is long and varied.
Hubby started buying soft drinks at a wholesale store. They come in shallow cardboard trays. I save the trays. I pitch "a project's stuff" into a tray and place it aside as the list above dictates.
I have stacks of trays with projects in them. When I can't find a particular stencil or stamp - that means it is time to go through the trays. This leads to discovering a project I'd forgotten about, get re-inspired about and today's project gets put in a tray and off we go.
My hands have so looked like that! Lol. I'm excited to see the last vid! Of course then I will go watch them all together...rofl
And right over here we have an ink stained finger...🤣🤣🤣Love this whole project and I will be starting my own today. Thanks Nik
Just to add another message for you to have to get to ;) I love listening to you chatter away to yourself. Wouldn't it be so great if we all chatted to ourselves like that instead of the other stupid stuff we say to ourselves. You are so cool Nik. X
This is so beautiful.. (as all your work is) love it😍😍
TFS!! Can you give me any ideas as to what is s good color printer? Ido not yet do journals for selling, but for family. I have several portrait type pictures to print pet book, plus all the other printables. So every time I go to pick up a print order at Office depot, they want my first-born! It's getting crazy expensive. I have to have my printables, and since I've already loved my children for at least 20 years, it's becoming a close call. 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Just now finding this, awesome! Would love to find a tab punch like you show that punches a tab with a window... thoughts anyone???
Absolutely beautiful!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! not just one more. I need at least 20 more, maybe 30 more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this project!
Thanks for the inspiration. I have two lapbooks and three journals in the works might be overkill. Argh!!
WOW Nik I'm now off to enable my squirrels and see what happens..... Your a bad influence!!!
Oh my goodness. I absolutely start too many things. I’m a Gemini & so I’ve heard, our minds just never stop running. It’s not ADHD but just that I want to do everything all the time.
I’m still watching this, but had to pause to respond to your comment about too many irons in the fire and people who do things one at a time.
I’m not only just like you, but I have multiple craft interests and I see projects that I like and I order everything for that project. The problem is that I then don’t remember which video I saw those items for and I now have a stockpile of craft supplies and hardly any completed projects. It’s driving my husband crazy!! After I watch this video, I’m going to go back to the beginning of my “liked” videos and try to figure out what projects I wanted to do and try to get at least a couple started!!! It’s really sad.... really, really sad!!
