18:51 -- "I love this apron! I wanna make more of these." Let's do! Make some in a new video 😊 22:48 -- Brilliant way to make your own tabs!

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Love it!

Love, love, love!! I just bought more Christmas decorations at a Church pic nic lol.. I love Christmas haha...

I started watching last night, got sleepy, paused it. Got up first thing this morning and finished it. Really enjoyed this. You have inspired me to try my zutter bind it all. Have had it good while and have never made a mini from scratch. Think I might jump in when I get back from vacation. Love this.

Love how KZfaq suggests older videos! Under my rock I'd never even heard of a Cinch, so glad to see your video. I'm guessing I can't afford one but love the idea of the size of this recipe book and will try to get one made before Christmas with whatever kind of binding seems feasable. (You know how it goes from Thanksgiving to Christmas...so many ideas, so little time!) Thank you for all your wonderful videos, including this one.

Top stuff. I want one of each. A book and the cinch. Thanks for sharing. Blessings

I am so glad I found this! These will make GREAT Christmas gifts! Came out great!

Thank you for making such an easy to follow tutorial, you're such a good teacher I could watch you make things all day!! I will be making this album for sure and also watching your other videos too :)

I also have had this Cinch for longer than I want to admit....now I feel very capable of using it....love this little book! Thank you Amy!

Hi Maymay, I have only recently found youtube videos and have become an addict. I love so many of them but yours are some of my favourites. This little album I am going to make for one of my daughters who loves to cook but am going make it as an animal hints, tips and recipes book as she has dogs, cats, chooks (we are Australian so this is our go to word for chickens), ducks, you name it. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas. Judy xx

My book should be here this week. I am so excited!

I luv the personal touches you added to your covers. I'm the same way when I craft lift from idea books. I'll add my own spin too!

love your work and going to try to do some crafts I'm 77 1/2 and retired have been doing cake's for 40yrs and do quilting for10 yrs and need another project you are awesome, keep coming with your great videos. great great grama from Elkhart Indiana.

I love this idea and it could be tweaked for so many little books. I have a granddaughter that love recipe books so this would be perfect for her.

What an adorable recipe book! I've had my Cinch for three years and using it for the first time today. Watching many of your videos for inspiration (and enjoyment, as always). Thank you! (btw, I like YOUR recipe album best) :)

LOL... easy ... one might say it's a "cinch" ... oh.. I simply could not resist! Love this little project .. and I especially like YOUR modifications.. !!

This is so cute. I've been looking for recipe book ideas. This may be to advanced for me now but may try it later. Please keep us up to date with your ideas. Thanks!!

If that isn't the absolute cutest!🤗 Thanks for taking us on your learning expedition. 👍🏻

Adorable! I was planning on doing recipe books for my kids this Christmas and really like this.

Thank you for doing this series! First the projects are very cute AND you are showing me how to use my books! I just need to dive in and channel my inner May May! Hope to see more...It helps to see peppermint papers in this heat!

I love this!!! This could be a great gift for Christmas, you're the best Maymay❤👍

That was awesome! Loved watching it. I was late for dinner because I didn't want to stop watching it. I thought yours was much better. Love watching all your videos and to see what you will come up with next. Thats for sharing your talent! Have a great day.

I love that you showed the Cinch machine and the how you did the album. So cute. Also the cuddle bug? It looked so easy. Will have to try the album. New watcher of your videos.

Your book is lovely, thank you for sharing the cinch!

Maymay, I Love your book!! I think it's better than the other one. I too have a Cinch that I have been too shy to use but after watching you take charge of yours for the 1st time, you've given me the courage to try mine. Thanks for sharing your mini book as I thoroughly enjoyed watching your beautiful creation.

I just stumbled upon your page tonight. Like you, I have had my Cinch for sometime, like about 3-years, and never used it. Watching your video has inspired me to use it and make a little book. I've always had all the necessary tools, but had been intimidated by it. :). Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and getting me excited to use it!!!. I love your book. I love to write poems, so I will be making a little book for a few of them.

These are so cute! Great tutorial, thanks for showing us and explaining things clearly!

I learn something new every time I watch your videos.

I'm really loving your Christmas in July videos.

Absolutely adorable May May! Thank you for sharing!

Really like this idea for Christmas gifts. Thanks, Maymay!

I really love your videos. Can't wait to finish fall album.

Loved it. I am always making cookbooks with indexes.

Now I think I need to get a cinch! That book is so cute! This would make am awesome gift! Thanks for making it!

I do have this book and always wanted to make this. Now I think I can!!

this is the cutest thing you have ever made! I have a bind it all and make these all the time. Yay you!

Oh my gosh..... That is so cute Love it I do cookbooks and I love this

I Love the way you used your envelope punch to make your tabs.... I would not have thought to do that but I sure will use mine to make tabs !! Very nice recipe book Love the apron too !! You are so creative ! You have given me the incentive to make my own and put my favorite all time recipes in it !! Thank you MayMay !!!

I love this project and how you placed the table at the top of the book. They won't get bent so easily. ❤ Love! Love! Love! ❤ Oh, this would also be the perfect size for a summer picnic/BBQ recipe book! 🎈 🌈 ☀️ 🏊‍♂️ 🎈

just now ran across this video again, and I know for sure that I want to make myself one in the next year or two. I jyst recently got a bind it all, that I still need to use lol. plus, d ery Christmas there are about 15 or so goodie recipes that I alternate making from year to year as gifts. I would love to make a book for those recipes.

Beautiful job Maymay, such a cute idea for Christmas. Always impressed with your ideas. I love watching all your ideas.

How cute!!!! I love this! Thanks for the video.

I have been wanting a chich but didn't think I could do it,but it looks easy.I love your book really better than the other🎄.Keep up the great work.And I was going to let you know that the scrapbook store in TN.are putting another one right beside the one you told me about,so we will have to check it out.Love that store❤️TFS

Just made 4 books for my great grandchildren to make it any way they want, idea book, school work, etc. used some of Jenofeve Designs with it. Love it.

I am still finding some of your videos that I haven't seen! Love this one... think it would make a great Christmas card!! I may try that!! LOVE the little tip about the tabs! I so needed a tab for some things I am doing.. thanks for that!!! Great video... Love that you were so surprised when the Cinch actually worked! LOL.. I have a Bind It All that I don't use that much... not much of a book maker...

I just got that book and can't wait to follow your ideas. :)

I really love yours! Thank you for the video!

What a great way to give family recipes for Christmas. Love this idea. Now I have to buy a chinch.

I love that you have "crafter hands" like me. No fancy nails. =) But mostly I love your accent! Thanks for this video; it's the first of yours I've seen.

You are amazing!! You come up with the cutest ideas and I really love this recipe book!!

Adorable! I have a Bind-It-All, which is pretty easy, but I think the Cinch seems easier. I'm amazed every time I use it. Makes projects look very finished and professional. I sent you two recipe pins -- one for an adapted Chex mix, and the other for sugared pecans -- each of which are essential in our home during the holidays.

Love, love, love!! You make everything look so easy! :-) I've been gone to church camp for two weeks. I can't wait to get up on your series!! Take care!

Amy, watching your videos is like crafting with a friend. Your book is absolutely adorable! Your apron reminds me of being in the kitchen with my great-grandma at her wood cookstove. :)

omg how awesome is that, well done Amy, the apron turned out real cute and i love the idea of the stamping, also i must remember to make tabs from my envelope punch board, it works really well xx

I absolutely love it...

Love this... !!! dont have that machine... but it will go on my wish list.. that is growing & growing !... Yours looks way better, by the way !

maymay i watched this a year after you made it...ss...lol...but...WTG...you did it...first time...and on camera...woot woot...i love your videos.

Awesome I can't wait to make this

I have been wanting to make this since you posted it! But I wanted to use the Homemade with Love paper pack that you used in the composition recipe book. My paper finally came in..so will post pics on your FB channel as soon as I'm finished.. Thanks for a great idea and always love your tutorials.. they are so clear and easy to follow!

Wow, can't wait to get my book. Ordered it yesterday. Gonna be so much fun. TFS...Bobbie

Omg how cute ! Love it

I love this! These would make really cute gifts to be given on thanksgiving - I think I will order the book, I appreciate u sharing from it.

Great project. I'm amazed at your decision making process. You're so quick and decisive about which papers, sizes, how you're going to achieve certain effects, etc. I don't know how long this actually took you but I'm pretty sure this would take me at least a day. LOL. Love this tutorial. Tfs. Hugs-Bettina

This video is absolutely adorable!!!!!

Maymay it makes me so happy to know that I’m not the only one afraid of simple machines.

Hi Maymay! It's Becca! I've been out of town and just caught up on your vids.....what a nice hung to come home to! I had four waiting or me. You are amazing!!! I love how you think about using products in different ways....other than what they are intended for. Love the tab idea using the flower punch board! This book is so stinkin' cute! Hope to see more vids on the bookbinding tool. I loved watching you learn how to use it!;).....have a wonderful day!!! Smiles!;) Becca

Love the way you Always give your own touch to it. Great tutorial. TFS patrizia

New subbie! Loved this video! I am a polymer clay artist that is moving into paper arts and I have a lot to learn! This was very helpful!

Just ordered the book. I couldn't wait anymore :)

This is so cute. Ordered my book yesterday.

Very cute. My sweetie usually does all the cooking, and rarely uses a recipe. His family loves his turkey stuffing. I'll see if I can get some sort of, instructions from him. I'm partial to cornbread dressing. But his is good too. TFS, hugs Jess

Cute cute cute!! I love your apron. How clever to use the heart punch! Nice little recipe book. Fast and easy! TFS :-)

Yours is great such a nice job and that's do cute I like yours even better. 🤗

Love this!!! I just thought, before you folded the tabs in half they looked like a really good shape for a “corset” or they could have been the top for the apron 🤣 xxxx

Wow, i love it !!! Your apron is genius !! TFS, hugs Sabine

Hi again Amy! Well it was fun but also a TON of hard work...it was a huge art show in Santa Fe nm (the contemporary Hispanic market) that I've been selling at or the last couple of years. The good news is that I took the top award "BEST IN SHOW" for "beneath the moon".... A pastel I did of an elderly person (it's on my website). I was very humbled and proud to receive such and honor.;) as the artists in this market are phenomenal! Anyway.... How's your father law! We are praying for him! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!! Smiles& hugs! Becca

I love yours!

Just TOO adorable!! Now I want to make one, although I need a different suggestion for the binding since I don't have the Cinge. Thanks for sharing such a cute and useful idea!!

I like your version better😍😍😍😍 if you put drinks. You can put there "Coquito" is a drink with coconut milk and rum of your choice. Is very refreshing you can do it with out the rum too and vanilla or cocoa powder and a cinnamon on top when you serve.

This is too adorable. You did a great job. I'm sure I'm too late, but I'd love that book.....oh well. tfs

Not sure if you'll see this, I saw this video a couple years ago and it just popped back up to view again. I was able to find a copy if this paper craft book earlier this year and bought it. It does indeed have some amazing projects in it. I have to say though, they should have gone to you for the directions. A few of the steps are quite vague, like on this album cover. Now we can of course fill in the info missing to us, say by winging it on a part that's too vague or we don't get. But often that gives a different result and I find that very frustrating sometimes. Sometimes I'm fine with it and like my way better. Sometimes not. I began paper crafting 6 years ago (I know, where've I been lol) and the first 2 years I found it very frustrating not getting as good results as was shown in a picture or tutorial. A lot of that changed with time, but every now and then I still get miffed when I see a brilliant project but can't quite reach that result. I wish I started years earlier though.

I love this! Yours turned out better than the book!

totally rad! Loved this video. I have a hubby and 5 kids so I have to watch and listen to these under headphones...I was like yelling out when the cinch worked! LOL. Love your videos so much. this one was a lot cuter than the inspiration!!!

You are so much fun. I like your book better. Woohoo cute.

Wow so super cute!!

What a super cute idea even in Feb. 2023❤️

Great results!! Thanks for sharing

I love your videos, I love your accent it makes me think of Reba

So adorable and you made it seem so simple and easy to make. You're an awesome teacher. Thank you. :-)

I like yours better - especially the binding. Theirs was not enough rings in my opinion. I also like your apron better! I think I will be making these for my friends for Christmas. TFS! Love your videos!

Oh my this is just too cute! I love watching you work, its so much fun! I like your cover better than the inspiration. Their patterns are to blendy (I know that's not a word) but yours jump off the cover. Hugs and prayer, Neasie

This project turned out really cute. Nice job. I don't own a cinch, I would have to improvise.

Awesome! I love your bravery!

Beautiful!! TFS!

please make more of these from this book. I want to get the book and you make it look a lot easier!!!

I just love this and you make it look so easy! Now I'm wanting a Cinch..lol...I still have a ton of video's to watch of yours so I'm off! :) God bless you.

This is just too darn cute.

Love it thank you!

I want a cinch so bad! It's on my wishlist!

Really sweet. I like it so much. This was so much fun to watch. I have a Bind it all and they basically work the same but I have so much fun making books and albums with it. I made my hubby a wine recipe book with it too. Okay then looking forward to the next one. xoxo
