  • I think I've watched all your videos at least once or twice over the past three years.... and yet each new one *still* provides new ideas, improved methods, helpful tips and tons of inspiration. The way you attached the signatures in this journal (in the previous video) is brilliant and the cover alteration you shared in this one is simply lovely! I also appreciate the mention of restraint in journal-making. Of course, everyone loves a beautiful "look book" and enjoys finding surprizes in unexpected places.... but we need to leave them some space so their life journey can create its own beauty there. Thanks, again, Nik, for all you share with us. You're priceless!!

  • You are absolutely Brilliant! I love your attention to detail. I was thinking the same thing with the Oval you cut out and gluing it to the back of the black one so it would slip down into the cutout and then you did it... That is awesome... I will definitely be saving this for future reference. Take care... Now to watch the next video.

I adore all the older videos where your journals were about characters....they always had a story attached to them. This "refresher" reminded me of what I love to do best! You are the true definition of being a teacher. BTW, I'm loving your true crime discussions while you're crafting!

  • Hello Nik, how are you doing today young lady? I pray that you are having a good day. Thanks for doing these kind of videos, I find them inspirational and educational. I prefer these and your previous videos of your journal flip throughs over the crime drama videos, mainly because there is just way too much drama in the world already, my mind & body just can't deal with that anymore. I have a bunch of your video tutorial projects I want to do so very much, just so I can say "I made that" before I die. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
