The picture of the girl in the window is my aunt Jan. She passed away last Nov of liver cancer. Thank you for using those pictures. You got me all teary eyed :). So neat to see my family in a cool book :). The diva is my grandmother and you got her exactly right. She was a fast car, world traveling wild woman :)

Thanks so much for this. I adapted it to make a monthly "journal" for a friend who is newly separated and now has his little 5 year old boy part time. The plan is that when they are together they can write down memories and put movie tickets or any other memorabilia in the monthly pocket. He loved it x

Nik, nobody can take a composition book and make it gorgeous like you can. You are just so talented....and funny. I could watch your videos all day.

Nik, so I totally love your videos. However, if I laugh any harder while I watch I will wet myself. Girl you crack me up and I love the clarity of your vision it just melds with mine! Your my kind of crazy! Keep having a blast and thanks for puttin' the easy out there and you have a blessed day.

I wish you were my neighbor, we'd laugh alot😂 such a cool idea!!

This is a great idea thanks can't wait to use it when I need a quick gift... 💖💖

I so enjoyed your video, made my Sunday. Your so entertaining! That 45 minutes flew by before I knew it. Thank you ever so much for sharing your talent with us! D.

I love your dialog and all the projects!! Thank you!!

Oh man that was so funny, caught me off guard your mental checklist of “no sex scenes...no bad words” when affixing book page to outer cover. I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE! Thank you so much for being so open & free. I love your videos!

That lace made it !!!!! Wow how cool.Great job.

Wow! This is a good video for people like me, a beginner. The investment for supplies and tools is not expensive and the technique is not too complex. Thank you for posting.

GREAT JOB, Nik. I have covered a mini notebook just like this a few months ago.

I came to journal making by accident, my daughter was going on holiday to Venice, a 21st birthday present from my sister. I had just started leather crafting as a complementary skill for my silversmithing and decided to make her and the two friends she went with a travel journal each. Then my son went to university and I made him a journal to help him control/monitor his expenditure. It worked. I then rested on my laurels. I went back to silversmithing. As a result of the research I’d carried out on Pinterest and KZfaq I received recommendations relating to journaling from time to time. I watched one of yours and I was hooked. I now find excuses to make journals for friends and family, I love your Frankenpages (I do my silversmithing on a Frankenbench I discovered the tutorial for on Pinterest) I have never been disappointed with any of your videos. They are funny and informative by turn. Thank you.

Love this idea. I have tons of old photos of my family that I have scanned and could use for family journals. Thanks for the inspiration. You are a hoot to watch.

I've watched this again Nik. Great idea for my grandchildren who are so on the go with lots to do! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your crafty ideas and your videos!

Very fun store bought notebooks! Super cute!

Very nice video! I love altering composition books and never thought to cut it down to size. So great idea. I also love to gesso the black spine and paint over the gesso to make my spines match.

Lovely, the choice of prints are so pleasing. Thank you.

Love love LOVE this!!!! ❤️ ♥️ ❤️

THANK YOU!!! I've been watching junk journal videos for a year, collecting supplies, shopping thrift stores...and have yet to make one journal. Now it's only a handful of days until Christmas and there's at least one person I'd like to gift with a journal and this idea is perfect!!! I can do that!!!

Love the ideas - thanks for sharing, so inspiring and you make me smile!!!! Love your sense of humor!

You are the cutest igit ever! So fun to watch your videos. I really love your little notebooks!

Super fun and adorable! TFS! xo

Just found this video. Thanks for all the ideas. You make me smile. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the information it is very intriguing to see how you can totally change a plain journal into something that looks like you went to a one kind place and purchased it. Also forget get the question that I ask before about glue I should have waited and I would have had my answer. Thank you for taking the time I plan on coming back to see what else I can learned from you.

You rock! Wish I lived closer so you could make me laugh in person!

That was great ! It's been a while since I laughed so much . I was doing my own thing and listening to you , it was like an old radio show comedy routine ! We identify because we all have crafting issues , sometime I think I spend more time fixing mistakes than anything else . I love you . Thanks for the video .Till next time .

You're the bomb diggety! Love these two journal ideas! Your creativity overfloweth!

Thank you so much 😊. You really are so awesome and inspiring......also so Funny 😆 TOO...... I really love 💕 everything you do and say.

Just discovered your videos! What a delight! Spend an enjoyable morning with you, smiling, chuckling and drinking my coffee!

I enjoy your videos so much, even the "simple" ones. They truly inspire me!

You did it again Nik. It usually takes me a month to make a junk journal. I can't even keep up with my orders. You have inspired me to be more spontaneous and make these types of journals. Keep on keeping on.

Love these journals and your videos! I am frustrated because I used a crooked old heavy paper cutter for so long and FINALLY did some half-assed research and chose the fiskars cutter...and the FIRST time I used it I wasn't happy with it but I thought it was ME! Oh well. A little comforting to know it isn't just me. Thanks for sharing of yourself!

A live stream would be brilliant, I love your thinking and the way your ideas all come together in the end. Two beautiful notebooks

I love this journal...now this is one jounal I know I can do...thank you...and I am so glad I found you...
