I hope you feel better soon. I used to be a massage therapist. Wait till you feel better before you go get a massage. When you do get the massage you might feel icky after the massage, but drink lots and lots of water afterward and it will flush all the impurities out of your system. And then you will feel great. I love the the see through pockets you added. Everything you've been adding to this lap book is so great. Amazing ideas. Thank you.
ok, will do! The lady I was referred to does lymphatic drainage, too. But, I was told she's not a brutal, bruise you all over kind. That is what I need...I bruise like an over ripe peach o.O
A word of warning ... My masseuse says not to have a massage when you are ill. Your lymph system is already overworked from being sick. I ignored her advice and didn't tell her that I wasn't feeling well one time and I felt horrible a few hours after the massage and for the rest of the day. BTW, I love your content. I'm so glad that I found your channel.
Oh my! Spoons! I use to get so discouraged trying to share with others why I can’t get going. I need to find that story so everyone knows. Having a disease like MS (in my case) that spoon story really helps me explain to others about my disease. Nik. You just encouraged me and you probably didn’t know! Thanks.
Big love to you, Miss Pam 💖 the struggle IS real, but I am always so very encouraged by how all of you who deal with this kind of thing are always so positive. Thank you so much for that!
You worked so fast today- I couldn’t keep up!😉. It’s a sampler of fabulous bookish goodies! Love how yours is all coordinated- mine is looking a bit busy but I am so loving this series!
Wow, Nik! Just WOW!!! I’m LOVING this series! I love all your work! This lap book is SO FUN! I even dream about it!😂 Sure hope you continue to feel better.
I hope the soup and massage works and you are feeling better soon. Your lapbook is total scrumptious gorgeousness! I think instead of a clone, maybe you need a time turner or a magician's apprentice to help bring all of your marvelous ideas to fruition. Then we, in the RUclips universe, could watch you get twice as much done. You're like our squirrel, Nik, only better than Hammy. Tfs.
ooooooh a Time Lord! I'll take the 11th Doctor, please 😊👍 He was most closely aligned with my personality...we'd never get anything done, but it would sure be fun!
Can't tell you how much I'm loving this project Nik!!! so many great ideas that I can't wait to try! Thank you, thank you for sharing your genius with us!
I have to say your tutorials are amazing. Your projects are amazing. Everything is amazing. But the thing I appreciate the most is your professional editing. On some other you tube videos I have to wait while somebody goes to another room to get something. And I just watched a video of someone yawning through out their tutorial. Sorry, on a rant today. Thanks for all the instruction you have given over the years.
Want you feeling Great Nik ! It’s a good thing to have a massage, good for body & soul. Thanks for the soup recipe looks & reads yummy. Love this Lapbook … thanks ❤️
Hello Nik! Sooooo enjoying your videos on this lapbook. Wonderful! Just a FYI...I retired from massage therapy a few years ago (25 yrs) and I would always tell people if they are looking for a therapist is to 1. ask your those who you respect greatly for referrals for therapists. (Cuz there are so many different types. ie: swedish, deep tissue, etc.) and 2. make sure the therapist have been established for years. That is where you will find the better ones to fit your muscular needs is only by experience. Well good luck Nik.
You are a hoot! Love your videos! This lap book is getting better & better! Thanks! PS massage are a must! I have had massages for years & years! It is good for your health! I a retired now so stress has basically been eliminated but......I still need them! Always a request for birthdays & Christmas! And I got good family cause that’s what they get me! So blessed! Looking forward to next video! Feel better!
Nic, I am absolutely loving this series. My in laws are starting a new journey in their lives and will be traveling for 7 months if the year. I am going to try to make something similar but customize it for their needs. Thank you so much...you, my dear, are a genius!!
You should use your Cricut. I LOVE mine. The print then cut I think you will really love takes away the fussy cutting and does it for you. I made a ton of ephemra for Christmas boxes so much fun.
Coming along just great Nik ! Enjoying this so much. Hope you feel much better by now. Never heard 'spoons' before. It was always run out of steam ( still is) Thanks for all the sharing you do !
Love this project Nik! I am making one right along with you and your fabulous instruction :) Hoping you feel better :) Sending you lots of love and healing :)
Loving this series! I am planning a lap book for a trip we have planned. Im always picking up pieces when we travel to stuff it in. The gypsy discontinued paper you turned into a pocket reminded me of an old fashion tv just turn it upside down. Just add a picture instead of acetate and maybe put some knobs on it 😁
Another wonderful video.. I just love this so so much.. I am shopping for a couple old books so I can make one of these. You are so fun and amazingly talented.. I so hope you feel better soon.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I also want to make two of the recipe books that someone gave you.. Thanks again Nik for sharing your teachings.
I always love watching your videos! This project has so many possibilities so thank you for sharing😊. I am so sorry you don’t feel well and I do hope you feel better soon! I take elderberry drops or tablets and Airborne when I start to feel yucky...always works for me!
Hello Nik....I love these pockets .I didn't made enough in my lap book...so let's do it ! because you give me so much inspiration .I hope you feel better now.... I could send you an Octopus to help you to finish your projects...many arms ....it could help...^^ Thanks for sharing this lovely series...hugs from France...take care of you...
what a fun and informative series! thanks for sharing your art and spontaneity! ....the word 'sticky' ... all the variations you've assigned it will never be the same! 😂 two x's
You should absolutely go get a massage. Like stat! When my depression isn’t too much to deal with I get one every 4-6 months. It’s so good for your...everything. 😉 Your books are so beautiful, I love watching you craft. Especially on days when I can’t. It makes me feel better. I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself Nik! 💜💜
I love your unique style Nik. Your rounded corners, and inked edges...so you! Massages are great! Make it a full spa day...facial treatment, sauna, massage (ooh! try a hot stone massage!) Thanks for another good episode of The Lapbook!
Love the onion skin with the acetate! I have never been a huge fan of acetate because it looks kinda cheap to me, I have used it in envelopes but this just brings it up a notch! I might try it with Kraft deli paper. One of my son's favorite foods is posole.😺💕Amy
I hope you get to feeling better. Massages are awesome and I think you should get one. Thank you for the soup recipe, now I have a dinner plan. Not trying to be a stalker, but your stuff on Redbubble is awesome!! I am also loving this lap book and it's looking sharp!!
Feel better...i know how it is, I'm catching up from feeling awful the first half of the week myself. Love this book. Have been keeping my eye out for a couple unique books to make me a lap book....you find all the good things.lol I was lucky and rushed out right after your video with that seven gypsy paper, and grabbed the last one in each size our store here had. Was wondering why they never restocked...good to know I need to use it wisely....must be "sponge worthy"....quote for you to remember. Lol
Just discovered bookmaking and am super excited to learn more. Can you send me information on your courses and how to get them? Thanks for sharing your incredible talents with us!
I think it would have been cool to have a window that just showed the obelisk. I still love what you did, but I love all things Egyptian, like Omar Sharif!!! xo Lisa
I’m watching this series 3 years late but I’m loving it! Did you ever get your storage closet setup for your Cricut? Do you have an electrical plug in that closet?
Simply devine Nik! You need a couple clones if you only have one who's going to teach the other one what to do? Thanks Nik a really lovely lapbook. 💎👏Bravo👏 💎 ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚
Hope you feel better fast! I would love a massage! It is one of 2? reccomended "therapies" that I can do, that "shouldn't cause any more damage", BUT... insurance wont pay for either of them. So , unless I win the lottery (I neved play, lol) it won't happen. Smh lol. Cool shelf story, can't wait to see it. You could show your closet too? Just an idea. :) They always discontinue my favorite things. Takes me forever to find one I like, drink, food, anything! lol. Then its gone. So annoying! It usually seems to be stuff others like too, so it makes no sense to me either. More awesomeness!! Gorgeous envelope! Just totally diggin' this project! Tyfs!
When the nik clones go up on your etsy I'm first in line, till then I'm crafting & laughing along with the 😎 original, one and only..... Nik, Donna and the Squirrels 🤣
What did you do with your finished lap book? I am entranced by this project, it is beyond fabulous. I found a set of 4 matching books that I can make two lap books from, and I am so excited to make them following this series of videos. Thank you so much for all these inspirations!
"It's a squirrel thing..." Needs to be on one of the t-shirts. Please! 😂

oh good to know, Janice, thank you so much!

Thank you, Janet! Yes, that is exactly what I did. A really good friend recommended an established masseuse that she adores. I hope I like her, too =)

As you spoke about Pozole, I thought I’d look to see if you gave us the recipe.
Of course you did!
I have been craving Pesole soup for weeks, my friend makes the best
Love the lap book, such a clever girl you are.
Hi Corrine.
Hi Corrine
So clever.
Hi Connie, are you making a lap book?
@@connieanderson211 I was thinking about it, I have the book covers just don't have the book in the middle. Are you making one too?
I hope you get to feeling better. Massages are awesome and I think you should get one. Thank you for the soup recipe, now I have a dinner plan. Not trying to be a stalker, but your stuff on Redbubble is awesome!! I am also loving this lap book and it's looking sharp!!
HA! No worries, Lori, I know you aren't a stalker. Unless you are celery, then you are a stalker 😂 ok...bad joke!
@@NiktheBooksmith It wasn't a bad joke because you made me laugh... Good thing for you I am not celery!! lol
I do know that drill, Ms. Nik. It's the "take one day at a time" adage, eh? Here's to more good days than bad. Cheers, Ardith
Feel better...i know how it is, I'm catching up from feeling awful the first half of the week myself. Love this book. Have been keeping my eye out for a couple unique books to make me a lap book....you find all the good things.lol

I want to make one like this, but you are the number one in junk journals. 😍😍😍😅
aww thanks, Alicia! you are sweet =) You can totally do this!!
I'm loving this series, I can't wait to start. I'm trying to find the same size books that have interesting covers.
I treat myself to a massage every month...it does a body good!!
Welcome back. Missed you. Feel great soon and enjoy your soup.
That book is so pretty.
Cool pockets, man!
Love this so much. Feel better soon.
I think it would have been cool to have a window that just showed the obelisk. I still love what you did, but I love all things Egyptian, like Omar Sharif!!! xo Lisa
yep, you are absolutely correct on that! That was a missed opportunity...we need smell-o-vision and comment-o-vision! Omar ❤️
I’m watching this series 3 years late but I’m loving it! Did you ever get your storage closet setup for your Cricut? Do you have an electrical plug in that closet?

I just love this! I've checked out some other lapbooks on RUclips and this is the best!!
Get well. I hate fingernails too.
Looking forward to part nine!

Your are amazing nick , what is your full degree , your brain is connected to life , very beautiful. Patience.
Full degree...as in college degree? I will have to talk about my schooling soon. Oh the life of undiagnosed ADHD 😂
Best project ever!
What did you do with your finished lap book? I am entranced by this project, it is beyond fabulous. I found a set of 4 matching books that I can make two lap books from, and I am so excited to make them following this series of videos. Thank you so much for all these inspirations!
