For those of us that work in metrics (the entire world expect America) this video is extremely helpful. Thank you for considering us.

This is such a great series because it's like little stepping stones to use as practice before you go whole hog and make a giant tome. :D

This is my life, I am so sorry! Tell me about it. Math, ugh! Love your ideas! I wish I was as organized.

@lunajen8970 2 года назад

Oh wow, My mom used to make thosw bottle cap and soda tab frying pans and spray paint them in black then made eggs out of felt, stuck them in it and slapped a magnet on the back hahah she used to sell them by the dozens. Good memories! And thank you for another great tutorial ❤

@mizzify Год назад

I'm so glad I found your channel! I've only recently got into making folio's and you're now my favourite channel! Very easy to follow and understand! On the DNA front you're probably part viking! There was also part of the Spanish armada shipwrecked around England too which may explain the Portuguese. If you ever come to the UK I can give you some pointers around the lakes & Yorkshire dales because I live in Lancashire x

Joanne Carroll ... I want to say sometime during my schooling, we started talking about metric, but then it fell by the wayside ... think us here in the US are just plain lazy, lol

@fancydeer 4 года назад

"It dries like snot" hit that like button. I can't do fractions to save my life, I always just use metric to save myself the headache tbh. I can barely handle nice round numbers lmao.

@donnadoble-brown338 Год назад

Nik just discovered your channel! It’s a very rainy Saturday here in Rhode Island and I thought I’d use today to research something I’ve been wanting to do forever! Thanks for your very fun easy to understand channel! Take care💚🙏🏻💗

@anhaddad 6 лет назад

I had to chuckle when you mentioned the soda tabs. I have a cup of them saved up in my craft room. I want to buy a metal, alphabet engraving/stamping set and use the tab part to stamp letters on, then ad them to projects. My family and I are living in Kuwait, and the cola cans here still use those tabs, so we have lots of them.

I just subscribed, but now I’m doubting that move……the reason you ask…..math. Math. Numbers and Math. Quarters and millimeters oh dear, I’m doomed…. But don’t worry, I’m still here, and after the “expert on snot” subject, I ain’t goin’ nowhere 🤣🤣🤣😘and I love wee (binky) things too…

@ujlt7198 5 лет назад

I was the kind of kid who spent all of crafts session in school sniffing a glue stick because i thought it smelt like spaghetti. (In my defense, it absolutely did)

@artpipe 5 лет назад

Thanks for the series. At 8:01, what's the reasoning for folding in the opposite direction after scoring?

@tattoolane1 6 лет назад

Oh I laugh all the way through your videos - I love scatty people and you are wonderfully scatty - I can't do maths either - there's a name for it dyscalculic!! How good does that sound! I got thrown out of maths class and into the dunces class where we learned to draw Venn circles - to this day I have no idea why or what the heck Venn circles are for ( please don't enlighten me cos I really don't care)l - I'd much rather have messed with paint and glue than do numbers, and am still the same today! Thanks you for such fabulous, real videos xxxxxxxxxx

@chasing_happiness 6 лет назад

Math sucks no ifs, ands, or buts. I got totally different numbers than you did so Imma just sit here and nod and smile cause I'm hating the math.

Nik the Booksmith I appreciate your videos though. I have problems around people especially when it's more than just 1 or 2. I love your sense of humor. Keep up the good work, lady. 💜

@tanyamckinney5908 2 года назад

What can you use in place of a scoreboard?

@hayleyvandeberg2426 5 лет назад

A faster way to find a one inch spine is to find the middle and give 1/2 inch space on each side; much less math involved :)

@tasha111ify 6 лет назад

Oooh no you have the same sense of numour as me....thats not a good sign lol. As for numbers...no comment i actually thought you had it right the first time!!! Shame on me, ty for this series, i'm just getting into journals and you're making it an easy learning process for my incredibly small and busy brain
