    Think of all of the gorgeous Christmas wrapping paper we've thrown out through the years that we would love to have today for these journals. I still remember holding them in my hands wishing I had a reason for keeping them. Little did I know at the time I did have a reason--for now. Thank you Gayle for sharing. Your pages as beautiful.

    I tried your page method for altered books awhile ago after watching one of your other videos and the method worked really well for me. The book I chose was fun because it was four books in one and I decided to theme different sections of the book off the book in that section. So one book was placed at the beach so that section of the altered book is beach themed. Its something I work on just for a fun relaxing time and am really enjoying it.

    Hi Gayle. Thank you for turning on the camera today. I was really excited to do another altered book with you. I’m sorry you are not feeling yourself today. Prayers for a better afternoon. I too am not feeling too good today, but when you said, “ I think I’ll put her up on the other side” ( the angel ) I 🤭 giggled. So no matter what may ..you are always such a light in the lives of so many of us. Love love your choices of paper. Believe it or not primarily what you magic you do with “scraps” of all kinds. Feel better.God Bless💕

    I hope you’re feeling better. In anticipation of you making a Christmas altered book, I prepared an altered book too. And I went back and watched your most recent start to finish on your altered book. I knew I’d be inspired to collage, I’m so glad I can go make my own now. Thank you for sharing your art with us. 💜💜💜💜😘

So I opted not to tear out as much.....🤦‍♀️duh!!! I should of listen to you!!! I ended up with way too much pages and ended up tearing out more towards the end....ugh!!!😥 but I am having FUN creating this book

    As a book lover, I had to look up this one. It's a Young Adult book about a kid who "fixes" things for other students (need a note from your parent? Some bully stealing your lunch money?). His "office" is the 4th stall in the boy's bathroom. Believe it or not, this book has great reviews! LOL

    I loved the last one you did around Easter I think it was… so when you started this one today I ran and grabbed an old book, I did not know what to do with, and I started making my very first altered book right along with you. This is so fun! Thanks to who ever suggested using big binder clips to hold the pages back while you work… it worked so well. Gayle, I hope you feel better after a little rest, you could be coming down with something or it could be grief from the loss of your dear friend. I just lost my Dad so I feel it most days but crafting with you always lifts my spirits. Hugs! Laurette🤗😊🤗

    Ohhh Gayle!!! I have so many thoughts when watching you create/craft lol. For instance, I was thinking how lucky it was that you had finished one project and were now starting another. Then I thought “I wonder if that’s all she has”... “how fabulous to just have one on the go”. Next thing... you mentioned two other journals you’re working on at the same time. I was 🤔😜🤣 Then you mentioned not wanting to cover beautiful papers with extra goodness... I had just had that very same thought. I was like “please leave Santa”... “don’t cover him up”. Hehehe. Your projects are always so fun and fabulous!!! I think you’ve inspired me to create an altered Christmas Journal, so Thank You!!! I hope you feel better soon!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

    Good morning Gayle! I enjoyed watching you altering the book. I am giving you the suggestion to use big clip to hold the pages with book together to keep it open while you crafting. It will make it easier for you not holding the book down while gluing it. That book is new and it won’t stay open, so just a thought. Happy crafting!!

    watching this tonight, i started thinking "has gayle ever made a journal using only her digitals?" i know you use a lot of other peoples digitals, but i can't recall if you've made anything using only yours... might be another 'thing' to add to your list, and how fun it would be to have some TN's made by you using only your digitals!! just thinkin... tfs and inspiring me today! sending good thoughts and a big hug :)

    Hi Gail. It is very sad to see what’s happening here in California. I’ve been effected by both fires, although thank God no loss but I’ve been evacuated for both here in Ventura calif. It’s a beautiful place, and being misunderstood on its “ lack of forest control” I pray for all who have lost so much💕.
