This must be one of my favorite episodes and I have seen them all as I discovered you from about episode 8. I love my treasured books so it will be hard to cut them, but this now gives me inspiration to do it. Even though I have loved the books in all of of your other videos, I am grateful you dedicated a video to this!!!

I can't pick a favorite---but the birds are a true favorite...plus the mini books...and........

Oh my goodness the 2nd project 'Diorama' is lovely

I absolutely love books! I want you to know that your first project in this video brought a flood of wonderful memories from my childhood. I remember when my younger brother, younger sister, and I, as very young children in the 1950s, went to the five-and-dime store and found this series of books about birds. We were thrilled that we were each able to buy one for the quarter that each of us had! This was probably my first purchase with my own money taken out of my molded glass piggy bank. Several years ago, my sister, going through family things, sent me the original set of 4 books: the Red, the Yellow, the Green, and the Blue Bird books. I treasure these "little tomes" of knowledge of birds. I have enjoyed watching and interacting with wild birds ever since that purchase and referred to them often as a child to more about the birds I saw. The little bird house you made is cute and memories you triggered with this project are sweet! Thank you! 😊❤

Sherry, you are a treasure! The adorable birdhouse you created from the little Yellow Book of Birds of America is delightful. It struck me when you showed the worn book at the beginning, how much someone must have loved that little book, and how much appreciation and good energy already surrounded it (if this is possible)!

I really like the idea of "bundling" projects both old and new that share similar raw materials. It will make it so much simpler to search through for projects that I might want to try rather than trying to go back through several years' worth of creations. Of course, I could use the search bar, but I liked this handy grouping. Thank you! (I was hoping you'd include the cookbook, one of my personal favorites).

I love the street name idea! I could really have fun with that. I'm from Minnesota and my first childhood home was on Minnesota Street. Then we moved to Spring street and I grew up there. My first college address was on Bunting Lane. My first house with my husband was on Tern Court. Minnesota, Spring, and birds - perfect for this time of year especially! Thanks for the inspiration!

I don't know if anyone will ever read this. I was in a car wreck this month (November.) I've been in terrible pain with some money limitation but birthdays and CHRISTMAS LOOM! I started crying when I realized I could make a lamp! I watched it FIVE TIMES. i feel a surge of inspiration and self esteem. You have a life time watcher for sure. To give to the lowliest person hope in their time of need is incredible. Incredible. Tell your children they are lucky to have such a clever mother. Thank you!

Books!!! My favorite thing! That quote by Mother Teresa is one of my favorites also. Thanks Sherry, this was wonderful.

I love these ideas. Realistically, most books aren’t worth much, even if they’re old. There are only a small amount of books that are worth money, so for 90% of these books, there is nothing wrong with upcycling the books into something usable. It’s keeping them out of the landfill, and it’s getting a second life. My favorite book upcycle is turning a hardcover book into a small storage box. It’s also a somewhat clever way to hide valuables since an amateur robber looking to “smash and grab” is going to ignore a “worthless book”.

You continue to blow me away with your fabulous ideas. I bet you have a notebook next to your bed at night. Just incase you come up with an idea you can jot it down. LOL. Loved them all. ♥️😊👍🌟🌟
