Gayle you bring joy and you are a "happy place" for me to go to everyday. You take my mind off my chronic pain issues for the hour that you are sharing your art and your life with all of us. Just wanted you to know....I am sure there are many others just like me. May God greatly bless you and may he comfort your heart in your time of sorrow from the loss of your dear friend.
Thank you so much, Ruth! ❤️
Of course, it goes without saying that I adore this.... It is so fun to know that other people maneuver their stencils to make a complete picture.... and Tim Holtz seems to make that easy for us.... love to see that I am not the only one who fills in the white spaces with stenciling....I probably got the idea from you....I hope that your pain is easing from the loss of your friend...hugs to you....❤️❤️❤️
Gayle...you are a special creator...your things are just lovely...
Oh my - your journals are amazing !! You are so creative ! I am so loving this Christmas journal! I’m so glad I found you!! You are such a great teacher ❤️
Your ephemera was so cute today, lots of ideas to copy! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Gayle for making my heart happy, taking me to a beautiful space. It is a joy to watch you muck‘n about! I love how you find the joy in everything, even happy accidents.💖😘
WOW.....absolutely stunning journals!! Love that style. That's what I do!!!
Great Journal! Having company in has always been the best motivation for me to get that housework done too!🤣😂
Hello Gayle, I wanted to take some time to thank you for what u do!!!!!!! YOu have helped me so much the last year. I am in Canada my daughter and her family r in Illinois. My 10 yr old granddaughter is really sick. In hospital 114 days.all spring. so many more stays home 48 hours and back. so many surgeries. I am self employed and cannot go to help or be with her. I work with seniors to keep them in there own homes. Children's hospital is 1,5 hours from home. So my son in law stays home with other 2 grand children. Our granddaughter is nonverbal so my daughter stays with her. I would be waiting for news so upset. I could come here enjoy what u do so much.... not feel alone waiting...... So blessings 2 u !!!!!! Thank you
Thank you, Lois, for sharing your story! Prayers for your sweet granddaughter. I know how hard it is to be away when illness strikes. Bless your heart. Stay strong, my friend. Thank you again for sharing! 🙏❤️
Lois prayers for you, your granddaughter and family. My granddaughter has Cerebral palsy and seizures, nonverbal also. She has been in and out of hospital 4 times this year so I understand some of what you are going through. Watching Gayle and others and also doing my journals helps me get through. Thank you Gayle.
@@lindasanchez1243 Thanks so much Linda. It is so difficult. I worry about my daughter so.
She should get the Honorary nurse award! I'm so far away! It's so hard gettin info by text,trying to understand it all.
Blessing to your family as well.
I loved watching you make all that ephemera.
That collection is beautifully made.
i really want a christmas alteret journal. I've already ripped out and folded pages. and now make packs and tags and journal cards. and now it's day three and I still have nothing. I have a whole pile of papers, pictures, old cards that are beautiful. ribbons, stamps,napkins even fabrics. And then I came across this video of yours I hadn't seen yet. the pockets and tags are very beautiful. now i'm closer to making something. Thank you Gaily for your ideas.p.s I have so much I can make two. LOL
Gayle you make the most gorgeous journals love all your videos you're amazing ❤️
Great inspirations again today!!! The journals are lovely and the book is becoming even more fabulous tan ever!!!!! Huge hugs and mwaaa!!!! : )
I love the girls on the plaid tags...so cute. Can't wait to see what else you will be doing. Tfs hugs Dianne
Hi Gayle I know the feeling about crafting, cleaning. Crafting wins every time unless company is coming.🤓love your Christmas journal. Haven’t crafted in 5 days, I’m anxiously waiting for the next time I can get in the craft room! Yard work, emptying the motor home after a 2 week vacation.
Beautiful journals and the one with the girl on the front is precious. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. ❤️😊
Love watching your tutorials so talented! Thank you
Fun as always, thank you so much Gayle! 🙌
TFS I am so loving watching you craft xx
Always enjoy watching and listening to you. I worked in a library for many years and I can tell you there are too many books out there to read. So never feel bad about not finishing one. Just move on to the next
Your journals are beautiful! ;) Fun goodies today too. ;) tyfs!
So much beautiful decorated tuck spots. I like your journaling cards to. It's beginning to look a lot like christmas. 👍🌲
Hi Gayle! I have enjoyed watching this series of videos for your Christmas journal!! It's coming together wonderfully!! Love it!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
Oh Gayle, This album with all the tags, journal cards and ephemera is just amazing! Love the finished journals too.
Oh my gosh looks wonderful Gayle huni. Xx
How delightful your work is magnificent
The journals are BEAUTIFUL as always! I love watching and listening to you craft. Usually watch while I'm at work (I have a very boring job) and then rewatch again when I have crafting time at home. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the day and a great weekend!
Those journaling cards turned out awesome! I love watching you craft. 💜💜💜
Just got back from hitting up a couple of estate sales, I didn’t buy a thing. They did have some really pretty Readers Digest there in very good shape with very pretty color covers but I have enough of those I haven’t even gutted or used yet so I held myself back. I was under my blanket with my coffee watching you this morning now it’s warmed up into the 60s may be into the 70s today. At least the trick-or-treaters won’t be freezing or rained on. I thought it was funny this morning that I had to pause your video and I said “excuse me Gayle I’ll be right back I have to get another cup of coffee.” What a dork.
Wish I could watch your videos live.
Or every once in a while!
Love the sweet little Christmas journals and the Biggie Journal.
You did it again Gayle! Just loved when you did that double colors on the stencils again. The whole journal is coming together so beautifully!.....cyndi m.
I love all the Christmas ephemera. Thanks for sharing
Watching you do your Christmas will help me get into the spirit! I live in Florida and it’s in the 90s. I need all the help I can get!🤣❤️TFS
LOVE the Reindeer! He is so perfect for that spot! You are such a joy to listen to and watch.
Happy Halloween Gayle , this journal is awesome . Love love it . I read the book & enjoyed it . I’m sure you will , too . The other journals you showed are very pretty . 😍
I LOVE Jens kit and love watching you work your magic putting it together.
Hi and huuuuuugs! Loved those journals, Gayle, and this one is coming right along nicely - getting nice and squishy! 😍😘
I just realized I missed this one. LOL 😅 now I see I missed a great video. I'm continually learning from you! TFS ❣️🌻☮️💜
I hear ya about the housework Gayle. I have to do it first thing in the am!!!!
The TN Journals are so cute! And the big journal is scrumptious! Your videos are really getting me into the Christmas spirit! We are at the point of moving into our new house which will allow me to begin crafting in my new craft room. I can't wait to be able to craft with you!! You are going to love Heaven is Real. I have seen interviews with the boy about whom the book is written. The movie is special too, but wait until after you have read the book. Can't wait for your next video!
I keep checking Etsy for your journal❤️
Two sold today. Two more to be listed soon! 😁❤️
love how you take a card and make it look so cute, love your journals :) thanks for sharing :}
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
I've never been able to add pink into anything christmas, but watching you work with the pink today gave me a few ideas. So happy you finally found a spot for the reindeer. I love that piece. And don't feel bad about not finishing a book. I have books it took me years to get into. Sometimes I will start five books in a day before I find the one I can get into.
Yummy! Love the Christmas TNs.
Love all the journals you shared with us today. And I’m watching for you to list them.
Wonderful ephemera today.
Hugs friend
Jeannie
Gayle what is a December daily? Yay. You used the lace I gave you. I can tell because I wrapped the laces on note cards.
A journal you journal in every day of December. I have a playlist of last year’s, if you want to take a look. Thank you! The lace was perfect!! ❤️
Omg its looking beautiful
I’m so excited!!!! I got one of your journals! I love your work and love your videos. I really want the one you made at your retreat, guess I’ll just have to keep watching for your notifications!
Yay! Thank you, Midge!! ❤️
Love love them! Each one is so wonderful! Thank you ❤️🌹
Love all the journals you shared 😍 Thank you for doing this series..😍😍❤️❤️
I'm with you about the cleaning I have to get at it first thing.
Love the plaid tags they turned out super cute. Tyfs
Lovely as always. So fun to see the TN’s and JJ. Have to look closely on Etsy... 😉
So much to love! Hugs! 🤔😍
Gayle I am that way. I get lost in my crafting lol
Love the journals you will be listing. And I love how this Christmas one is coming together, it is adorable! ❤️
Heaven Is Real is a great book. Easy reading. Your journals are lovely.
The reindeer is perfect for that spot. Love all the ephemera x
So nice! ❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous work Gayle...I agree about quitting that book you just can’t get into...I’m kinda weird about always thinking that I started it so I have to finish it...🙃
Beautiful JJ’s! Love the ephemera today as well. Hugs, Dawn
Your journal is beautiful. And you might try the trick that Pam, at "The Paper Outpost", uses with her blender tools. Colored floss tied to the handle. Happy crafting. Thanks for all you do for us. Much love!!!
It’s coming along nicely 😊
I also don’t like to put a book down once I start it, but I have done it a couple of times this year because I figured I don’t want to put my time into something that doesn’t interest me if I don’t have to. There are so many great crafters out there that I’d rather watch until I find a book I like. Thanks, Gayle!
Make a digital of your stamped excess paper I love it! Also might just cut those pearls off the edging a thought!
I can’t make a digital from the stamped paper because of copyright restrictions, but I’m glad you like it!! The pearls turned out okay in the end. They are below the writing line. 😁❤️
U should tape or paint the tips or the backs of your brushes so u know what colours they are
Love the black covered grungy one plus the reindeer page. Too much beauty though to name specifics.
Yes, watch Heaven is Real if you get the chance :) I haven't read the book but I'm sure it's good! Love this Christmas journal! So cute!! Always enjoy your videos. Sending hugs! TFS
just loving this series :)
I had a near-death experience and I slayed some blue, black beings then I saw my dad who had taken his life when I was 13. He sent me back to finish my life mission. Also, I read Dean Koontz Highwway. It took me a whiile to get into it , but it was very interesting.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS-TFS=HUGS/BLESSINGS
Gayle - I hope you realize how much I appreciate you answering questions. I have learned so much from you... so, I have another one!!.. how did you get the bunny and gingerbread impressions on your colored paper? I know how to do the doily impressions, but what did you use for the others?
I purchased those papers on Etsy. I’ve looked for the name of the shop, but can’t find it. I’m sorry I’m not more help! I’m pretty sure she used cookie cutters though. ❤️
I think one time you need to show us "over there"!! hahaha
Is Happy mail gifts that come from people OR things we ordered arriving??
Good morning Gayle! 🤗
Morning, Martha! ❤️
Really enjoyed this video. Love everything you did. I just love Christmas! As far as reading goes i usually have a couple different books going at a time. Have you ever read Patricia Cornwall , Michael Connelly, or John Sandford? They are excellent authors. Hope you have a grateful day!
Thanks for the recommendations! ❤️
Gayle Agostinelli its best to read them in order to keep up with the characters. They’re really good books.
I also always felt if I start a book I should finish it but then a few years ago I decided if I wasn’t enjoying a book I just passed on to a new piece of literature.......we can’t love everything.
Awesome...❤️
All day yesterday, I kept wondering why you didn't do any stenciling....so airy against the other embellishments....and voila! Enjoy the crest of yourcday.
You just kill me looking through your baggies for pieces - I just want to yell "pull them all out already so we can see what's in there"! Hope you know I'm just messing with you - love watching your process. The day's not complete without a visit and chat with Gayle!
Do you decorate before you sew in your signatures, or after sew in?
Both. If I have sewing to do on the pages, I do that before. But the bulk of decorating I do after sewing in. That’s just how I do it. I know others do all their decorating then sew in. I find it easiest to sew in the signatures with less bulk. Hope that helps! ❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct thanks for the info. I like the way you do it...
Good morning and Happy Halloween. Although it’s the 1st of November already for me. In the Grungy journal what is the grey paper? It looks super grunge and I love it.
It was a happy mail gift so don’t know much about it. 🥴❤️
Oh well, it gives me something to search out as a fun alternative to coffee tea dyeing. TFS and responding.💌📒💙
Love the journals. My RUclips is acting up. When I watch a video and the next video comes on the first video is in the corner. I can't enjoy it this way so I am going to need to take a break until I fix it. Have a Happy Halloween and great weekend.
I have a question for you (or for anyone else who makes junk journals since I am just getting started with my first). I know lots of "junk" is used, obviously...but I am confused over something like Edith Holden's book. Are people really using the actual pages and not making copies? I finally found one in a used book store and I was so pleased...but if I take it apart and use up the pages, it will be gone! What does everyone else do with a book like this that is hard to find?
There are lots of sellers on Etsy that sell Edith Holden pages. Maybe it will help to look at it as giving them new life rather than using them up. There are always new fun found things to work with! Hope that helps! ❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct I didn't even think about buying it again...just using the one I have. It's such a beautiful book though...that I'll have to get myself used to the idea of taking it apart...or maybe I'll just buy some pages from Etsy. I hadn't even thought to look there...so thank you! :)
Do you print all your ephemera on cardstock?
No, I bounce between cream cardstock from Hobby Lobby, matte photo paper and Epson presentation paper (available on my website). Most of the ephemera from this kit was printed on the Epson presentation paper. 😁❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct I ordered some and it arrived today
Went to your Etsy shop but could not find the journals
I’m listing them randomly. I listed the two Christmas journals yesterday. They sold within seconds. I think the gals that bought them have favorited my shop and have notifications turned on in their settings, so they are notified when I list something new. The grungy journal and four signature journal will be appearing in my shop randomly over the next week. Thanks so much for your interest! ❤️
Hi Gayle would you please do a video on how you make your journal charms and where you'd put them in your journal? ❤
Good morning Gayle. Wow first one here. ❤❤
Morning, Linda!! ❤️
I've had to stop reading all together because when I start a book, I read to the exclusion of everything else (sometimes including sleep) until I'm done. When I was working, I would listen to books on tape and loved that. Still do that on trips. One of my favorites is A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Oh, and on cleaning, I would be mortified if anyone saw the state of my floors! Will keep a watch out for the journals - hoping to snag one of yours someday. I looked on my iPad (no smart phone) and couldn't find a way to get notifications from favorite Etsy shops (Etsy was not on the list). I have to check for them manually through Etsy.
Watching in 2024 🤓
About 20 years ago, I decided I would no longer feel obligated to finish a book I couldn't get into. It was very liberating. And those poor tags, waiting six years to be distressed!
you will love heaven is real and enjoy the movie
It’s not weird to quit a book. If I am not hooked by day two, I drop it.
Love your journals but with all your followers i doubt i will get a chance to get one... Can u reccomend someone else that does them that i could get from with your similar talent??? Want my husband to get one for me for Christmas....
My suggestion would be to search junk journals on Etsy and find one you like. There are many, many talented journal artists out there! ❤️
😻xx
you will love Heaven is Real.
Heaven is real book is better than movie
Get your little deer hiney distressed.... lol. Woke my husband up laughing with you
Just love the Christmas theme. Jenn is all out of Tim Holts. I’m sad.
So a search on Etsy for Tim Holtz Christmas People. There are other shops that have them. ❤️
Gayle Agostinelli got some on Scrapbook.com. Now can’t wait for them to get here!
I love Voice,but I don't care for John Legend,I want Adam back!
