Thank you so much for your kind words about me, I really appreciate it❤ This is a wonderful video, great explanations, and I think this will help so many. Glue Books are so fun, relaxing and a great way to express your creativity. They are a fun activity for all ages and all levels of crafters.

Thank you Nicole, I hope to make your glue folio in a video soon……..I’m living the idea.

This is the most inspirational video I have seen in a very long time. It's 10 pm and I want to stay up all night starting a glue book. I am so excited I can't stand it. Your books are beautiful. The things you put together as theme pages are things I never would have thought to consider (toilets and showers?? But it's gorgeous!). I am SO happy I found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

Gluebooking has been such an amazing way for me to be creative without the cost normally associated to crafting. It cost me nothing to get started, and has been a lot of fun. 😊

So intriguing! Couldn't sleep and ( like another commenter) I wanted to get outta bed and gather those magazines and images I just can't part with and start a book! So creative to focus on either colors or theme!!! LOVE your books AND that the pages don't have to be "finished" - TFS!

Hi Ceri, thanks so much for this video. I love Margarete and I love Nicole too! This video has helped me make up my mind about a whether or not to start a glue book and how I would do it - yes, I will be starting and more than likely more than one kind. Your explanation of why you glue into each of your books has freed my mind and enabled me to make my own plans for glue booking - off to my studio I go to get my books and glue sticks out! Jacquie

Dear Professor Ceri, thank you for illuminating and clarifying the topic of glue books. You have cleared up this debacle to my satisfaction to the point where I am now inspired to make use of the several composition books and spiral bound notebooks in my stash; in fact, i have already succeeded in covering a composition book and a spiral notebook this afternoon!

Love your explanations of the different kinds of glue books… I’d not heard the term until I watched others of your videos where you were using the book pages to spread glue on items, and mentioned people wanted you to do a flick through your glue books 🤔 I wondered why they would want to see a book of pages folded in half! 😂 … and you folded and tore off each page as it was sticky… I was a bit confused. Not any more 😊 Thank you x

So clever and enjoyable! Your glue books are fascinating. I intend to put one together for my great grandchildren. All under age 5 at this point. As a young child growing up i always enjoyed the Sears Catalog, so many objects to gaze upon, dream about, or learn from too. Thank you so much for putting this video out for all of us to get inspired.

Somehow, I missed this video the first time around. Gluebooks are amazing and the term so broad. Your examples are beautiful. Like you, I can't do true random like Nicole. My "randoms" always go to some kind of theme. Whatever, it makes me happy. Thanks for sharing, Ceri 😊

I loved this flip-through of your gorgeous books, Ceri. Thanks for sharing. Like you, I love colour and the juxtaposition of different colours. "Glue book" is not a term I use although I've come across it. I don't like the term "junk journal" as it sounds really trashy and seems to denigrate the awesome creativity you see in some people's work on this theme. I have decided on the term "bonnie book" to cover absolutely every kind of book you can make!! It's a nod to my Scottish ancestry - my grandmother described all things good as "bonnie" and it resonates with me! I am not into journaling but I'm definitely into making and embellishing books, and I don't really like specific labels that confine one to a particular style etc. All the books you showed today are so eclectic and inspirational, and all fall under my "bonnie" definition lol!

Fantastic!! Very inspiring. I'm starting a new glue book now, and like you suggested, I'm going to place a whole background down (NOT collaged), and then go from there. It might be kind of challenging, too, to match the colors or theme or whatever. Like you also said, it's ongoing, so sometimes you have to wait to find what needs to go there. LOVE the stripes! Going to start with that, I think. By the way, I looked up "famous staircases" and it said the one in your book is from a Vatican museum in Rome! Amazing image.
