☕️Good Morning Gayle! ❤😊🎄 The condo sounds wonderful. It having enough space for you to have a craft room is amazing and everything on one level would be great. Not having all that outside maintenance would be a blessing as time progresses. What really matters is that daily life is enjoyable. Keeping Mike in my thoughts and prayers. Xx 💙🦋
Good afternoon Gayle. The condo sounds nice. Life & our situation changes & sometimes necessitates change. If my son didn’t live just down the road I’d have to make different living arrangements. I couldn’t keep up this house & acreage by myself. Pray that Mikes tests come out good & y’all can make the right decision to accommodate whatever is needed. We don’t like change. We get comfortable with life as it is. 🙏❤️
You and Mike are in my prayers. I have stairs that I still climb at 76. It gets harder by the day. My husband says “it keeps you strong ole girl”. His legs are twice as long as mine so it’s no trouble for him. We have to do what we have to do. Y’all will be fine as long as you have each other and we will be fine as long as we have your videos! ❤❤ Good night Gayle
Oh my friend! Jeff and I took a break from the video to petition the Lord for you both and to shed a few tears. But even so Jeff told me, that even tho our bodies age and turn against us the Lord is still on his throne looking over us with his love, compassion and mercy. So even tho this diagnosis is scary he is watching over you both and Jeff and I are holding you up to the Lord in prayer. Love and hugs my friend.
Freida! Are you the dear friend Gayle refers to often? You brought tears to my eyes, and I felt the Lord in your comment. I chose to read through each of the comments today. What a community of prayer warriors showed up here today. I believe in the power of prayer, and know God has this situation in the palm of His hand. As we know where two or three are gathered!!!!! Well there was plenty more than that today. You beautifully lifted up your friend and her Love today. I was blessed!!
I said a quiet prayer for Gayle and her cute guy, when she said what was going on. So appreciate your prayers for her and Mike. Thank you ladies, for keeping our friend in your prayers. God is good!
@@ginapearson3601 thank you for your kind words. The Lord is Good to each of us because of his kindness and forgiveness. I believe the Lord will bless them and help them.
Good Morning sweet Gayle. I’ve been with you since the beginning and I want you to know my Prayers are with you and Mike. I was stunned with the diagnosis. My husband and I have struggled too with health issues and found that with our prayer warriors and a lot of laughter works miracles. Much love and sincere appreciation for you being here everyday for all of us. You sure have gotten me through a lot. Thank you Gayle. Gods grace and peace be with you my friend ❤️🙏🏻
So sorry to hear about your cute hubby! My thoughts and prayers for him and you. Since my hubby passed in August, I have sold my home and am moving back to Edmonton to independent living for seniors on Nov 24th. It is a 1 bedroom, so I have had to pair down as I will be crafting in my bedroom. I got rid of my queen bed and got a single, so I would have more room to craft. We all need our craft space don’t we! ❤❤
Hi Deb! Yes, crafting room maybe the most important. I’ve heard of some of my YT friends that have turned their dining room or living room into their craft room too. I’m with you, I’d get a single bed too. I hope it will be a good move for you, my friend. Sending love and hugs! ❤
That was a great clean out. My prayers for both of you and I know that you will both be ok because you have each other. Isn’t that what it’s all about? You are so awesome Gayle. Thanks for all your wonderful inspiration. 😊❤
Thanks Gayle for the video. I’m sorry for the initial diagnosis but I will continue to pray. Please know I will be praying that God will cover him with healing angels. May God grant you peace during this time. Much love and hugs.
Good morning, Gayle❤. Sending healing prayers for 'your cute guy.'🙏 I am writing his name and a prayer in my prayer journal and will continue to pray for him daily. Please keep us informed...you're family, after all.
Sorting & organizing w/ you is fun!! ❤ Keeping you & Mike in prayer as you continue to navigate his health issues, as well as, a potential move!!! 🙏🏼🤗🙏🏼🤗🙏🏼
Oh my goodness! 1. Prayers, prayers, and more prayers will be coming your way for Mike. He will be included in my list of nightly prayers. 2. I love to watch how you organize so quickly and efficiently; it will hopefully inspire me to do the same!😊 3. You are a strong and caring woman and we are all here for you!❤️
Good morning! I was sorry to hear about Mike but at least he has some sort of a diagnosis which can be half the battle. It's pretty amazing what they can do nowadays. The thought of moving gives me hives! So good luck with that! At least you'll have an army of family to help!😊 Wow! That was an amazing amount of tags! Have a good day!😁💕 You could ask one of the grandchildren to be your camera operative if you need both hands!🥰
Good morning Gayle!! Continued prayers for Mike and you!! Hubby has Parkinson's, was diagnosed about 15 years ago. It's definitely been a struggle for him the last couple years. Our kids are pressuring us to sell our 5th wheel and set up a modular home on our daughter's property. Change for him is difficult, so we haven't pursued this option. Love all your tags and what you made!! Have an awesome Friday...💜
It feels good to organize and create with things on your desk, and these tags turned out so cute Gayle! Thoughts and prayers for you both as you move forward. Life can change in a blink of an eye, and you are so wise to be looking towards your next chapter. Things will fall into place…❤️🙏
Love your work as always. We’ve been thinking about downsizing. Our house and lawn are so much to care for as we get older! Prayers for you and your husband ❣
We own a condo and it is wonderful in the winter, Hubby doesn't need to shovel, now that we are 65 that is a plus. Will keep you two in my thoughts and prayers. Love all the tags
It is always fun to see what you have stashed away Gayle. The condo sounds great and not much to maintain outside. Sending lots of love and big hugs to you and your dear hubby. ❤
“My tags are getting low, I need to make more”. Reading between the lines means Gayle counted her premade tags and there were only 29. 😂😂 When you showed those big tags the first thing I said was “collage them!”. Lots of great ideas and pretty tags today. You and Mike are in my prayers as you make some big decisions. My dad had Parkinson’s for over 16 years. Just keep active and it really helps. Have a blessed day!
Daisy showed me where to buy tags. I bought a thousand for $11. I don't know if they would still be available but it's such a gift to connect with all the crafters and find new things. Hugs to you and Mike.
Good morning Gayle, now you have a nice pile of finished tags in your stash! I’ll continue to keep Mike (and you) in my prayers🙏🏻 Prayers are powerful🙏🏻 Hugzz💖
✋🏼🤗❤️ 🙏🏼 for Mike and you. Condo is a great idea. I’m downsizing and thinking which choice to make too. Condo, smaller home….definitely no stairs, small yard. It’s very hard! But l keep plugging away it. 👍🏼
Good morning Gayle! Love the tag sorting and decorating! I'm so sorry to hear about Mike! It sounds like you do have a good plan. A condo and eliminating all the yard work and other maintenance will definitely help. I will keep you both in prayer 🙏 Take care, both of you! I will see you tomorrow. I love you, friend. 😊🤗❤Sending hugs to you both from Indy - home of the greatest spectacle in racing 😂 (the Indianapolis 500)
Good Day Gayle: Very rainy here and 49F. I got a lot of ideas last night from your video, again thank you sharing, Big Hugs, Gayle, enjoy youyr day. :)
Good morning! Continue prayers for Mike’s health an praying for the right place for you to find. I know we have been looking for over a year. Now maybe out to another city. Who knows? Anyway now v new tags! Got a lot done! Tfs! Blessings my dear friend!💕
Hello my friend! The Condo sounds like the perfect thing. I will keep Mike and you in my prayers and thoughts. Thank you for always sharing. And the thought of moving....lets just say it was way easier years ago. LOL You are in my heart. Michele
Hi Gayle, yes I'll definitely pray 🙏 for Mike. The condo sounds perfect even if health wasn't a factor. I'm older than you and I know from personal experience eventually health problems pop up and to be prepared is a good idea. Ok then, TAG'S, you can never have too many in my opinion and just watching this great video is giving me lots of ideas. ❤❤❤.
Good morning Gayle! ❤️ I miss 7 gypsies. Those tiny file folders are adorable. I have a tag bin, and rarely dig into it because I end up using scrapbook paper cutoffs, packaging, etc. to make tags. All my best to both you and Mike. By all means, keep us updated as to his tests/health. 💕 I’m thankful my old house is only one level now that I’m old and gray. I know I’m repeating myself, but growing older isn’t for sissies. 🤗 Have a wonderful crafty Friday everyone! ❤
Great video!! Decorating ideas were helpful. So sorry about your Hubby's medical diagnosis. Yes, getting old is difficult and hard to put up with but we all understand and have to accept it. I think you would be wise to move to the condo and make life a bit easier while you are able to make the move. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. Keep smiling and moving forward with your lives. You are together and that is a huge blessing. Love!!!!!!
Gayle, you and Mike are both in my prayers. I have been on a waiting list for nearly two years to purchase a townhome in a 55 or older community. My mom has lived in the community for 14 years. When she decided to move they still had vacant lots so she got to pick her own floor plan. There are only about 100-125 homes so it takes awhile to get a house.
I am so sorry to hear of your ” cute guys” diagnosis. Hopefully the doctors will have more information for you both soon. The condo sounds like a great idea, except for the packing, unpacking and moving stuff. God bless you both ❤
Left our home of 35 years for a one level living for my husband. Have a lower level with craft room bedroom bath. It is soooooo less stress ! No yard responsibilities was also a health issue.
Praying for you both. 🙏 Sending love and hugs, friend. God blessed those who rely on Him. 💖 Your tags are beautiful! This is what I need to do too! Clean up and do tags. TFS 🤗
Good morning Gayle. Good job sorting. Always a big job to do. We had to make a tough decision 8 years ago to leave our home of 35 years, where we raised our 4 kids and to move to another state. We have not regretted it one day. It was the best decision we ever made. Sending healing prayers your way!!❤️❤️
Oh yes, tags, I also found some in unexpected places when re-organizing. Fun video, Gayle. And a condo, how exciting! ❤ For sure keeping Mike in my prayers, hoping for a good outcome for you guys! 🍀❤
Good morning Gayle. The condo idea is a good one, it will all come together with the maintenance stuff and a way will be provided, I have faith in that for you. Many prayers for you and Mike. Take good care.
Gayle I am sitting here all choked up for Mike and for you my friend. I will continue to keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Condo living with a craft room? Yes please. Om another note, holy tiny tags batman! I think in all my supplies I may have 5 at the most lol. Love ya hon! Hugs......
How am I crying for a man I’ve never met. I’ll be praying for you both. How bad is it that I want to make a joke about that and getting the bubbles out of the cheesecake batter. Not horrible if that gave you a chuckle. Love&hugs to you both. ❤❤ The condo sounds perfect for you guys.
Aw, thanks so much, my friend. I’ve shed a few tears too. It’s going to be alright though. Mike has a great attitude and we’ll get through it together. 😊. Thanks so much for the prayers! Love you, Darcy! ❤
Whenever I watch you I'm always amazed at how fast an hour goes! The condo sounds like a good idea - plenty of space for crafting! But, oh, the moving. I told my hubby that the next time I move it will be into assisted living . . . hopefully not anytime soon! I'm so sorry about Mike's diagnosis. You and I are the same age, so I know what you mean about life going on. We make so many adjustments as we get older. Just keep making the videos. If you didn't that would be a difficult adjustment for me! You and Mike are in my thoughts. 😘
Good morning Gayle! I’m so sorry to hear Mikes diagnosis will continue prayers and positive thoughts for his health. The thought of moving is overwhelming, especially when you have a business to move as well! Maybe call your kids in for a packing help weekend! 😂 The condo sounds like a win/win. You’re right about aging. It seems like there’s always some body part in jeopardy of wearing out! One day at a time.❤❤❤
Hi friend!!! Oh moving to that condo sounds great for both of you but oh what a job!!! ESP you craft room 🤣🙃🫶🏻many thoughts, prayers and hugs as you navigate Mike’s health ❤️🥰😚God is good all the time 🫶🏻
One of my better decisions. I did a lot of research. I used to have many flower gardens and enjoyed working in them then, I resented having to work in the yard. That’s what made my decision easier.good luck and prayers for you both
Good morning Gayle..I'm feeling so overwhelmed with stuff right now. I've been going through a huge amount at my parent's house..deciding I don't really want the things I thought I did because it just means more added to my overwhelming amount of stuff. We've also been going through all of my boyfriend's late wife's quilting overflow of supplies and collection. Then if that isn't enough I'm moving soon and need to go through my ridiculous amount of way too much crafting "goodies". My craft space is much smaller at my new home..oye and big sighs!! Lol So I'm feeling it all as you're going through these tags. I'm definitely in a purging state of mind. I'm thinking I'll film my clean out for my channel. It'll be several videos though 😂😂. Blessings my friend..🤗🤗💜💜
Good Morning Lady. I’m sorry for the diagnosis, however, being proactive is smart. So preparing for a move will be helpful regardless. I’m always up for a good declutter series. Spring will be here before you know it. Hope you will take us along as you move through your room. Hugs and love, along with praying for Mike.
Good morning my dear friend, I am so sorry to hear about Mike, I will keep you and him and your family in my prayers. Things get difficult as we continue to age. I hope things went well at the signing ceremony. It would be so neat if we could come and go through your craft room. You could have a sale and could purchase the things that you don’t need or want. 😂 I love Forgotten Friends Fridays, so I enjoyed this video. I hope you and Mike have a wonderful rest of your day and I wish you both a wonderful weekend. Take care my friend and I will see you tomorrow. God bless you and your wonderful family always. Your friend Cindy, from a small town in Northern Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
OMGoodness Gayle you and Mike are in my prayers as always and tripled! May you both have nothing but Positive Vibes, Healing thoughts and may kindness overflow in your life my Sweet Friend! Beautiful as always. I'm trying to pair down too. I think my words is going to be declutter. I dislike moving too. Huge hugs, Namesta 🐞🐞🐞
I had to chuckle, as you’re going through you’re huge tub of tags and trying to purge and organize, and your saving packaging “to make” more tags. That’d be me my friend, lol lol. On a serious note you and Mike are in my thoughts and prayers. And no matter what the medical outcome is it’s not a bad idea to think about the upcoming years. Stairs are our worst enemy as we get older. We have a ranch, it wasn’t my first choice 20 years ago but every day I’m grateful that we’re on one level. Thank goodness for your videos,. Otherwise I wouldn’t know it was Friday! Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs 😘🙏😘
@@gayleagostinelli_ct I just went through some stuff after I watched your video. Recycling bin 1/2 full and give away bag full. You’re an inspiration ❤️😘❤️
Good morning Gayle. The condo sounds lovely. I do not envy you the job of sorting (I have a hard time getting rid of things in my craft space) packing and setting up in their new home. It would be easier on Mike...no grass to mow, trees to trim, snow to shovel. Big decision. You managed to find a good number of tags in your Forgotten Friends. Always a bonus. ❤
Hi Gayle! Love your videos! I noticed your supply of tags this morning. I have embossed those laser cut wooden tags before. They turn out so cool! Just be careful with the heat gun! I've had them smoke a little! 😉❤ Thanks!
Oh Gayle! I am sorry to hear your news, but I love both of your positive attitude. It sounds like the condo would be a great fit, but I hear you on the thought of moving. I suppose it's one way to really go through your things and decide if its worth moving it!
Thank you Gayle - I learned a lot by watching you organize what I have done ….creating dump bins for supplies. It’s important to remind myself, some supplies might need a new home where they can shine, instead of going back into my dump bin to be revisited in the future!
Good morning Gayle. Another fun video...those really big tags might be fun to use as a front and back cover (using rings to hold them together) for a smallish journal. It's a project i have on my "to do" list. Prayers for Mike and you. ❤
A very good morning to my coffee pal, love sorting through forgotten friends, great tags. As we get older, we have to think about our situations, its daunting but it will be an adventure xxxx
Awesome clean out and make. We are doing major construction and had to move out luckily we were able to lease the house across the street. I never thought I would get old so I’m still in denial. When they ask if you would like a walk in shower with a bench😳 and I’m thinking why would they ask that😡. Oh yeah I’m 62 that’s why😩. Right now we are dealing with all the asbestos in the house 😮. I’ll be thinking good thoughts for both of you❤
Change seems to come when we least expect it. It sounds like you have some good solutions in the planning stage. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and Mike. The tag sort was fun. I agree with Ceri that a gel plate session would give you lots of great bases to work with to replenish you tag stash.
So much stuff. Good to have a sort through to get organized. We all need to do this! Sorry to hear about Mike’s diagnosis. Prayers for you guys as you make decisions about future plans. The condo might be a good choice especially if it cuts down on all of the outside snow removal, etc.
I need to destash and I find it daunting. So, I'm going to take todays video as inspiration and start one box at a time. 😊 And as you know, you never know what life has for us around the corner. Love and best wishes to you and Mike. ❤🤗 xx
Good morning Gayle, I want to thank you for reminding me to destash, I really need to,lol! I have lot’s of stuff that needs to go or stay! Thank you for sharing & have a wonderful day!🤗💜☃️💕🌻⛄️
Good morning Gayle. Great video. I have to start going through my stuff in January. I've been weeding out a bit here and there, but have much more to do. I'll pray for you and Mike as you make these big decisions in your life. Also, extra hugs to you because I know from experience that it's daunting to have your hubby receive a major medical diagnosis.💜💙💜
☕️Good Morning Gayle! ❤😊🎄 The condo sounds wonderful. It having enough space for you to have a craft room is amazing and everything on one level would be great. Not having all that outside maintenance would be a blessing as time progresses. What really matters is that daily life is enjoyable. Keeping Mike in my thoughts and prayers. Xx 💙🦋
Morning Lisa! ❤
Good evening Gayle!🌛 My look at all those tags! Wish I had your patience to organize!😊 Prayers for you & hubby 🙏🏻! Have a blessed weekend!🤗🥰🌺
Thanks so much, Brenda! ❤
Good afternoon Gayle. The condo sounds nice. Life & our situation changes & sometimes necessitates change. If my son didn’t live just down the road I’d have to make different living arrangements. I couldn’t keep up this house & acreage by myself. Pray that Mikes tests come out good & y’all can make the right decision to accommodate whatever is needed. We don’t like change. We get comfortable with life as it is. 🙏❤️
Good afternoon, Billie Joe! ❤
It is always fun to watch you organize.
The condo sounds like a great fit for you and Mike. Prayers for you both. Hugs
Good Morning Gayle. Will continue sending prayers to our Heavenly Father for your sweet husband. 💖💖
Morning and thank you, dear Edie! ❤
You and Mike are in my prayers. I have stairs that I still climb at 76. It gets harder by the day. My husband says “it keeps you strong ole girl”. His legs are twice as long as mine so it’s no trouble for him. We have to do what we have to do. Y’all will be fine as long as you have each other and we will be fine as long as we have your videos! ❤❤ Good night Gayle
Thank you, DeeDee! I agree! I do think the stairs are built in exercise! ❤
Oh my friend! Jeff and I took a break from the video to petition the Lord for you both and to shed a few tears.

Thank you, Keryn! ❤
❤ Gayle I think you need a gel printing session on tags……you’ve got a few. 🙏
No kidding! 😂😂. I use them for mop up when gel printing, but, you’re right, a full session would use a few! 😂❤
So sorry to hear about your cute hubby! My thoughts and prayers for him and you.

The big tags would be cute in the altered books. ❤
Yes, in the top or side pockets. Would still need to be trimmed, or made into a pocket.
Good morning! Continue prayers for Mike’s health an praying for the right place for you to find. I know we have been looking for over a year. Now maybe out to another city. Who knows? Anyway now v new tags! Got a lot done! Tfs! Blessings my dear friend!💕
Morning Julie! Looks like there will be lots of tags in the retreat giveaway box this year! 😂❤
Gayle. My prayers are with you both. Much less maintenance is important as we get older. The Condo sounds exciting ❤. The Tags turned out great.
Thank you, Barbara! ❤
Prayers for Mike continue and for you too, Gayle. TY for this calm video.🎉Love, Gladys Ward
Thank you so much, dear Gladys! ❤
Hello my friend!
The Condo sounds like the perfect thing. I will keep Mike and you in my prayers and thoughts.

Great video!! Decorating ideas were helpful. So sorry about your Hubby's medical diagnosis. Yes, getting old is difficult and hard to put up with but we all understand and have to accept it. I think you would be wise to move to the condo and make life a bit easier while you are able to make the move. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. Keep smiling and moving forward with your lives. You are together and that is a huge blessing. Love!!!!!!
Thank you, dear Julie! ❤
Gayle, you and Mike are both in my prayers. I have been on a waiting list for nearly two years to purchase a townhome in a 55 or older community. My mom has lived in the community for 14 years. When she decided to move they still had vacant lots so she got to pick her own floor plan. There are only about 100-125 homes so it takes awhile to get a house.
Thank you for the prayers, dear Barbara! ❤
I am so sorry to hear of your ” cute guys” diagnosis. Hopefully the doctors will have more information for you both soon. The condo sounds like a great idea, except for the packing, unpacking and moving stuff. God bless you both ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Left our home of 35 years for a one level living for my husband. Have a lower level with craft room bedroom bath. It is soooooo less stress ! No yard responsibilities was also a health issue.
Happy Friday friend! Continued prayers for Mr.A💜
Prayers for you guys for wisdom in this next chapter of your lives. Much love and blessings 💜 Patty
Thanks so much, Patty! ❤
Praying for you both. 🙏 Sending love and hugs, friend. God blessed those who rely on Him. 💖 Your tags are beautiful! This is what I need to do too! Clean up and do tags. TFS 🤗
Thank you, Nancy! ❤
So nice to have my morning coffee with you. Sending love and prayers to you and Mr cute guy. 💜💜💜Vernie
Thank you, friend! ❤
Good morning Gayle. Good job sorting. Always a big job to do. We had to make a tough decision 8 years ago to leave our home of 35 years, where we raised our 4 kids and to move to another state. We have not regretted it one day. It was the best decision we ever made. Sending healing prayers your way!!❤️❤️
Morning Joann! ❤
❤ prayers Gail
Thank you, Donna! ❤
My heart goes out to you both, be strong for all the adjustment ahead and know you are in our thoughtsandPrayers.❤❤🙏
Thanks so much, Susan! ❤
Oh yes, tags, I also found some in unexpected places when re-organizing. Fun video, Gayle. And a condo, how exciting! ❤
For sure keeping Mike in my prayers, hoping for a good outcome for you guys! 🍀❤
Thanks so much, Janny! ❤
Good morning Gayle. The condo idea is a good one, it will all come together with the maintenance stuff and a way will be provided, I have faith in that for you. Many prayers for you and Mike. Take good care.
Good morning and thank you for the prayers, my friend! ❤
Gayle I am sitting here all choked up for Mike and for you my friend. I will continue to keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Condo living with a craft room? Yes please. Om another note, holy tiny tags batman! I think in all my supplies I may have 5 at the most lol. Love ya hon! Hugs......
Thanks so much, Kath! You’re so right! We have each other and we’ll be fine. Love you too, my friend! ❤
Hugs to you and Mike. Sorry to hear his problems. Positive thoughts are always best. Xx😮
Thank you, Belinda! ❤
Whoa, that's a lot of tags just waiting for you. Praying for you and Mike, the things we have to think about at certain stages of life.❤
Thank you, Melinda! ❤
Sending prayers and hugs to you and Mike.
Thank you, Cheryl! ❤
How am I crying for a man I’ve never met. I’ll be praying for you both. How bad is it that I want to make a joke about that and getting the bubbles out of the cheesecake batter. Not horrible if that gave you a chuckle.
Love&hugs to you both. ❤❤ The condo sounds perfect for you guys.
Aw, thanks so much, my friend. I’ve shed a few tears too. It’s going to be alright though. Mike has a great attitude and we’ll get through it together. 😊. Thanks so much for the prayers! Love you, Darcy! ❤
God bless you and Mike. I am praying for you guys.
Whenever I watch you I'm always amazed at how fast an hour goes! The condo sounds like a good idea - plenty of space for crafting! But, oh, the moving. I told my hubby that the next time I move it will be into assisted living . . . hopefully not anytime soon! I'm so sorry about Mike's diagnosis. You and I are the same age, so I know what you mean about life going on. We make so many adjustments as we get older. Just keep making the videos. If you didn't that would be a difficult adjustment for me! You and Mike are in my thoughts. 😘
Thank you so much, Barb! ❤
The wooden tag could be toppers for mini journals
Good morning Gayle! I’m so sorry to hear Mikes diagnosis will continue prayers and positive thoughts for his health. The thought of moving is overwhelming, especially when you have a business to move as well! Maybe call your kids in for a packing help weekend! 😂
The condo sounds like a win/win.
You’re right about aging. It seems like there’s always some body part in jeopardy of wearing out! One day at a time.❤❤❤
Morning Janice! ❤
Hi friend!!! Oh moving to that condo sounds great for both of you but oh what a job!!! ESP you craft room 🤣🙃🫶🏻many thoughts, prayers and hugs as you navigate Mike’s health ❤️🥰😚God is good all the time 🫶🏻
One of my better decisions. I did a lot of research. I used to have many flower gardens and enjoyed working in them then, I resented having to work in the yard. That’s what made my decision easier.good luck and prayers for you both
Thank you, Diane! ❤
Good morning Gayle..I'm feeling so overwhelmed with stuff right now. I've been going through a huge amount at my parent's house..deciding I don't really want the things I thought I did because it just means more added to my overwhelming amount of stuff. We've also been going through all of my boyfriend's late wife's quilting overflow of supplies and collection. Then if that isn't enough I'm moving soon and need to go through my ridiculous amount of way too much crafting "goodies". My craft space is much smaller at my new home..oye and big sighs!! Lol So I'm feeling it all as you're going through these tags. I'm definitely in a purging state of mind. I'm thinking I'll film my clean out for my channel. It'll be several videos though 😂😂. Blessings my friend..🤗🤗💜💜
Morning Durinda! Good luck with the move, my friend! ❤
Good Morning Lady. I’m sorry for the diagnosis, however, being proactive is smart. So preparing for a move will be helpful regardless. I’m always up for a good declutter series. Spring will be here before you know it. Hope you will take us along as you move through your room. Hugs and love, along with praying for Mike.
Morning Gina! Thanks so much for the prayers, my friend! ❤
Good morning my dear friend, I am so sorry to hear about Mike, I will keep you and him and your family in my prayers. Things get difficult as we continue to age. I hope things went well at the signing ceremony.
It would be so neat if we could come and go through your craft room. You could have a sale and could purchase the things that you don’t need or want. 😂
I love Forgotten Friends Fridays, so I enjoyed this video. I hope you and Mike have a wonderful rest of your day and I wish you both a wonderful weekend. Take care my friend and I will see you tomorrow. God bless you and your wonderful family always.
Your friend Cindy, from a small town in Northern Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much, Cindy! I really appreciate the prayers! Love and hugs to you, my friend! ❤
OMGoodness Gayle you and Mike are in my prayers as always and tripled! May you both have nothing but Positive Vibes, Healing thoughts and may kindness overflow in your life my Sweet Friend! Beautiful as always. I'm trying to pair down too. I think my words is going to be declutter. I dislike moving too. Huge hugs, Namesta 🐞🐞🐞
Thank you Lori! You and your daughter are in my prayers as well! 🙏❤
I had to chuckle, as you’re going through you’re huge tub of tags and trying to purge and organize, and your saving packaging “to make” more tags. That’d be me my friend, lol lol. On a serious note you and Mike are in my thoughts and prayers. And no matter what the medical outcome is it’s not a bad idea to think about the upcoming years. Stairs are our worst enemy as we get older. We have a ranch, it wasn’t my first choice 20 years ago but every day I’m grateful that we’re on one level. Thank goodness for your videos,. Otherwise I wouldn’t know it was Friday! Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs 😘🙏😘
Thanks for the prayers, Sandi! You’re so right, I’m going to have to get over that “don’t waste a thing” mentality! 😂❤
@@gayleagostinelli_ct I just went through some stuff after I watched your video. Recycling bin 1/2 full and give away bag full. You’re an inspiration ❤️😘❤️
You could also get a chair lift and Mike could still go down stairs. I have a friend that has one and it works great.
Good morning Gayle! Prayers for Mike, and prayers for clarity and peace in your decision making. ❤️
Love the tags!
Good morning and thank you, Cathie! ❤
Good morning Gayle. The condo sounds lovely. I do not envy you the job of sorting (I have a hard time getting rid of things in my craft space) packing and setting up in their new home. It would be easier on Mike...no grass to mow, trees to trim, snow to shovel. Big decision. You managed to find a good number of tags in your Forgotten Friends. Always a bonus. ❤
Morning Beverly! ❤
💜Keeping you and Mike in my prayers. The condo sounds like a great idea 🤗
Morning Denise! ❤
Hi Gayle! Love your videos! I noticed your supply of tags this morning. I have embossed those laser cut wooden tags before. They turn out so cool! Just be careful with the heat gun! I've had them smoke a little! 😉❤ Thanks!
Great idea, Glenda! ❤
Oh Gayle! I am sorry to hear your news, but I love both of your positive attitude. It sounds like the condo would be a great fit, but I hear you on the thought of moving. I suppose it's one way to really go through your things and decide if its worth moving it!
Thank you Gayle - I learned a lot by watching you organize what I have done ….creating dump bins for supplies. It’s important to remind myself, some supplies might need a new home where they can shine, instead of going back into my dump bin to be revisited in the future!
A good sort out is very therapeutic. 😊❤️
Bags o' tags!!!!
Good Morning, Gayle. Have a good weekend. Sending you and Mike good wishes.
Morning Mindy! ❤
Good morning Gayle. Another fun video...those really big tags might be fun to use as a front and back cover (using rings to hold them together) for a smallish journal. It's a project i have on my "to do" list. Prayers for Mike and you. ❤
Morning Donna! That’s a fun idea! I’ll have to keep that in mind! ❤
Oh, Gayle! 😔 Know you are both in my heart and my prayers. ❤❤❤ Belinda xxx
Thank you Belinda! ❤
Hi Gayle🤗
Love me some tags, thanks for sharing 💕Hugs
A very good morning to my coffee pal, love sorting through forgotten friends, great tags. As we get older, we have to think about our situations, its daunting but it will be an adventure xxxx
Awesome clean out and make. We are doing major construction and had to move out luckily we were able to lease the house across the street. I never thought I would get old so I’m still in denial. When they ask if you would like a walk in shower with a bench😳 and I’m thinking why would they ask that😡. Oh yeah I’m 62 that’s why😩. Right now we are dealing with all the asbestos in the house 😮. I’ll be thinking good thoughts for both of you❤
Thank you so much, Nancy! ❤
Change seems to come when we least expect it. It sounds like you have some good solutions in the planning stage. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and Mike.
The tag sort was fun. I agree with Ceri that a gel plate session would give you lots of great bases to work with to replenish you tag stash.
sending good vibes your way❤
You’ve inspired me to sort through my crafting supplies. My desk is so deep with stuff that I have nowhere to work. 😢
Praying for hubby. Love the tags!
Thank you Jenny! ❤
So much stuff. Good to have a sort through to get organized. We all need to do this! Sorry to hear about Mike’s diagnosis. Prayers for you guys as you make decisions about future plans. The condo might be a good choice especially if it cuts down on all of the outside snow removal, etc.
I need to destash and I find it daunting. So, I'm going to take todays video as inspiration and start one box at a time. 😊 And as you know, you never know what life has for us around the corner. Love and best wishes to you and Mike. ❤🤗 xx
Me too!
Thanks so very much, my friend! ❤
Good morning Gayle, I want to thank you for reminding me to destash, I really need to,lol! I have lot’s of stuff that needs to go or stay! Thank you for sharing & have a wonderful day!🤗💜☃️💕🌻⛄️
Morning Diana! ❤
@@gayleagostinelli_ct 💜☃️💕
Sending positive thoughts to Mike and big hugs to you both. I hope the condo works out for you!
Thank you, Cathy! ❤
Ty. Gayle 💜
Good morning Gayle. Great video. I have to start going through my stuff in January. I've been weeding out a bit here and there, but have much more to do. I'll pray for you and Mike as you make these big decisions in your life. Also, extra hugs to you because I know from experience that it's daunting to have your hubby receive a major medical diagnosis.💜💙💜
Good morning, sweet friend! Thanks for the extra hugs! ❤
Love all the tags. But now I want some canvas ones to slow stitch on! Lol.
Will be praying for Mike. ❤ cute tags!
Thank you, Anne! ❤
Good morning, Gayle! You have so many great tags! Take care! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Morning Laurette! ❤
Hi Gayle, prayers and blessings 💙
Thanks so much, Elzanne! ❤
