Thank you for sharing your memories and makes from your retreat Gayle! Sounds like such a wonderful time and group to share it with. Unfortunately, it is probably inevitable that we will all contract the virus at some point, no matter how vigilant we remain. Hope it was not a severe case for Mike or your friend.🥰🇨🇦
So sorry to hear one of the ladies got sick and had to go home. Hope Mr. A is doing well and recovers quickly and you stay well. Glad ya'll had a wonderful time in spite of the "you know what". Such wonderful items you were given and got to purchase. Your journals are amazing as always. Would be hard to choose which was my favorite journal you did. Ruth should definitely open an Etsy shop, she is an amazing talent.
Gayle, I couldn't remember if you said, Ruth Hooper made the Queen journal during the retreat? It's marvelous. Hope the virus passes the rest of you by. Thanks for sharing your weekend with us -- Sounds like you gals had a blast.
So sorry to hear about Mike getting sick. Hope you get through it unscathed! Your retreat sounds like so much fun had by all! Love all the goodies you shared too! Stay well my friend 🙏❤️
Your joy from your week at your retreat is contagious Gayle. That is the kind of contagion we love to spread around. Prayers everyone touched by your uninvited guest have a quick recovery. Extra Big Hugs Gayle.
Lots of wonderful stuff from you and all the other ladies at the retreat! Happy that you got so much done given the "C" in the room. Hope hubby isn't too sick, and I will say a prayer that you remain healthy. Hugs 😍
Praying for all of your retreaters, may they bounce back of remain healthy from the thing...that includes Mike. The syllabus is absolutely worth whatever you paid; in 2years it will more than pay you back with digital sales $$! The hemostats are great for holding jump rings and threading needles, keep them with your tweezers and you'll be surprised at how much you use them. I'm so glad y'all had so much fun, fellowship,and inspiration. What wonderful memories to cherish. Be well! Hugs🙏🙏💗💗
I am so sorry that Mike caught the virus. I will say a prayer that you continue testing negative. It is great that you all still got to enjoy your retreat. I hope you get to visit with your friends soon. As always, your MM collage is fabulous and I loved everything you shared with us today. Take care and stay well.
Oh I hope you are ok. How's hubby doing? I love the journals you got done at the retreat and all the gifts and purchases are so beautiful. Take care. I hope you manage to escape the virus and that hubby is better soon. xx

Oh my goodness! Such a lovely abundance of talent there! So happy you had a good time. Hope Mike is feeling better . You sound a little scratchy, hope you stay well!! Hugs.....

Pleased that the illnesses didn't stop the retreat being a successful and joyous time. Best wishes to Mike for a speedy recovery and prayers that you remain in good health. Loved everything you shared. We definitely need videos on absolutely everything 😆😉🥰
I miss you my sweet friend!! I feel really honored that you chose my journal to keep all your memories in!!! Once I am feeling better, I will be working on getting my shop open, all of you were so encouraging to me. I am so very thankful for the friendships made and for all the belly laughs!!!

I’m so glad you managed to have such an amazing retreat considering ! Lovely gifts and purchase’s :)) as always I so enjoy your vids ! ☮️💟 & happiness to you and yours ! 🌻
Wow what great finds and only two years before you can use your treasure. You were very spoiled by the lovely ladies from the retreat. Sorry about the virus finally catching up to you and missing your visit. But happy to see you online.
What wonderful things you bought or were given at your retreat💕 glad you had a wonderful time, shame about the lady getting sick and your husband getting the you know what! Hope you stay healthy, thank you for sharing your life and craft with us. Much love from Lucy 🇬🇧x
Oh Gayle I really hope you don’t get sick. And I hope Ruth opens an Etsy store. I would love to purchase one of her journals and didn’t even think about it while I was there. So many different styles and so much inspiration. I just love all the new friends I have met. Thank you so much. Hugs, Vernie!!!!!
So happy to hear of your retreat success!! What a wonderful time with old and new friends. I enjoyed all of the goodies that you bought and were given as gifts-so lovely and generous. You deserve the gifts for all that you do for others, me as well. Love your journals and videos and look forward to future new ones. I play the old ones over and over when making things that I forget how to do. You are definitely a treasure, Gayle. Pray for no covid for you.
Hope all goes well for the people with the you know what. Lovely makes and yummy gifts. Love the antique book and check the copyright law, might be before 1927. I would love that as a digital. Take care

Yes, I drink coffee while I type, lol. pray for you to be safe and not sick. sound like so much fun I can imagine the room fill with laughter and fun stories and bring home many good memories. And WOW! Ma'am, you had a productive retreat! love and hugs.
Love this video! So much talent in one place. Poor Mike! Two folks I know who had the c virus said they began to feel better but weren’t really over it and wished they had rested a bit loner, so please tell him. Gayle, keep using hand sanitizer and stay hydrated. I pray you stay well. So TYFS all the gorgeous makes and gifts. Now stay healthy! 🌺🌺🌺
In spite of the unfortunate you know what. It sounds and looks like you ladies had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing what you got for goodies. Lots of good ideas. I'm praying that you stay healthy and that your husband doesn't get too sick and will be well very soon
What an amazing experience. I’m so happy the retreat went well, but I’m sure your positive attitude could make anything a party. 😃 I hope Mike gets to feeling better. I will be sending get better. Thoughts his way. The journals are lovely.
I’m glad that the retreat went well even with the uninvited guest 🙃 I hope Mike is doing well and I hope you don’t get it. Sending love, positive vibes and gentle bear hugs xx your way.
I am so sorry that Mike is ill. I hope you don't catch it, or any of the other sweet ladies at your retreat. I am glad you still had a great time and enjoyed socializing with your new and old friends. My husband and I are vaccinated and boosted, in fact, we received our second booster shot yesterday. We came down with Covid in January, Gary only felt bad for 2 days, but I on the other hand didn't feel great for a couple of weeks. It wasn't any worse than a cold except that I didn't sleep well for a few months. Hopefully, Mike will be like Gary and you will not get ill at all. Keeping you both in my prayers.
So sorry that Mike offers to be a great guy shuttling and ends up sick. Drat! I will continue good thoughts for you both and for the guest who went home early and someone else's husband. Gosh, it spreads like wildfire! Absolutely love your shares! Thank you.
Good morning Gayle!! Sounds like you had a great time, and lovely gifts and items you received. Gorgeous journals you made, love all of them!! I'm so excited to get out to my craft shed today and sort through all my awesome antique finds from our trip. Have an awesome day...💜
Oh Gayle, please take care of yourself and Mike. People might say they are done with the “you know what”, but the “you know what” is not done with us. Sending love and prayers to you and Mike 💕💜💕
Oh Gayle so sorry to hear your attendee and now your hubby has gotten sick. Stay safe but don’t stress to much. I’m sure all will be good, fingers crossed. I work for a doctor and he has Covid for the second time. I got it the first time but haven’t caught it this time. Xx
I hope everyone is feeling better soon! Such a bummer that that happened but some things just happen. So much inspiration…I wish I could have been there too. Thanks for sharing your retreat memories with us!
So glad you were able to have a great time even with the uninvited party crasher! I know so many people who have gotten it traveling. Family flew to Australia with a 10 month old. In customs they said there was a man coughing in front of them without a mask on. Several days later the baby got sick and then the mother, she tested positive. A friend flew to Washington and a couple days into the trip she said, her allergies were acting up, tested positive. Hoping everyone feels better soon!
Good morning Gayle. welcome back home. Good to have you back, so sorry to hear about Mike and the you-know-what spreading about and the gal that had to go home. I have 2 friends that have gotten it in the past few weeks too. So discouraging. Hope it doesn't drag you down. Xo
Good morning Gayle, glad to see you back, but sorry to hear that the virus came to your retreat. Sounds like you had a wonderful time in spite of the unexpected difficulties. Loved seeing the journals you made and all the other goodies from your friends.
Hi Gayle, I hope Mike feels better soon and hoping that you will stay well too. What a shame that this had to happen after you have been so careful. I’m just glad you were able to have a good time.
Oh it sounds & looks like you had a wonderful time… I would have loved every moment even though the “dirty C” showed up! I hope you don’t get it cause it sounds like you may need to care for your sweet hubby! Just make sure he gets up and keeps moving every once & a while during waking hours. It keeps the lungs open & moving. I hope the other ladies do okay as well… hugs & blessings, Connie 🧶
Oh no Gayle! I hope Mike is recovering well. And I pray that you manage to sneak by without getting it. My guy, Sam, works in building construction and he works out of town in the summer often. He takes a testing kit in his ditty bag just to be careful in case he or another other crew start to get sick. Your journals look beautiful and it sounds like the experience overall was fun! Welcome back my friend. Please stay healthy ❤
Loved all of the things and stories from your retreat. So sorry about the unwanted visitor. Please let us know if Ruth does open an Etsy shop. Her work is amazing. Prayers for Mike that his symptoms are mild and he recovers quickly and for you that you continue to test negative. Hugs.
So glad you are back, and so sorry about the you know what. I have been crazy careful, have ALL of my shots, and avoided it until NOW. I got it from my 4 year old grandson who had not yet gotten the shot (they were in the process, but the rollout to kids under 5 has been slow in our area). So my son, AND my 6, 4 and 1 year old grandsons all got it. But their mom did not! I watch them and got it from the 4 year old before we figured out what was causing his fever. The good news is, it's been fairly mild, and my husband and daughter are still negative. So not everyone in the the whole house has been getting it here... There's hope! Keeping my fingers crossed and sending prayers your way!
Oh dear Gayle, however its so nice to have you on your channel sooner than expected. I've learned so much from you. They say that there are only two groups of people in regards to Covid... those that have had it and those that will get it ! My husband has just had it, thankfully I'm still negative but I'm not holding my breathe, I think it's inevitable but I can only hope its not too bad having had four vaccinations:) Take care of yourself, Jenni S. Australia.
Oh my goodness! There is so much inspiration just in this video. Can’t imagine all the wonderful ideas and projects that went on at your retreat. Hoping your friend opens an Etsy shop - that journal is spectacular - so please let us know about it if she does. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery! And please if you end up in the kitchen there before Mike is back in business, well, I know that would make a video I’d love to see! 😄 Hugs and thanks for the awesome video!
Prayers for you and everyone not feeling well. Really Pretty and fun items!!
Wow! What fabulous retreat you had! Wonderful!!!
So glad you were able to enjoy the retreat regardless of the unwelcome visitor!😄

Great to see you. Thanks for the stories. Love that art deco book.
I hope everyone is feeling better soon! Such a bummer that that happened but some things just happen. So much inspiration…I wish I could have been there too. Thanks for sharing your retreat memories with us!

Hi Gayle, I hope Mike feels better soon and hoping that you will stay well too. What a shame that this had to happen after you have been so careful. I’m just glad you were able to have a good time.
Oh it sounds & looks like you had a wonderful time… I would have loved every moment even though the “dirty C” showed up! I hope you don’t get it cause it sounds like you may need to care for your sweet hubby! Just make sure he gets up and keeps moving every once & a while during waking hours. It keeps the lungs open & moving. I hope the other ladies do okay as well… hugs & blessings, Connie 🧶
I giggled when you called Tim Holtz’ new color enchanted marine. It is uncharted mariner!
Sorta close? 😂
I’m sorry to hear your husband is not feeling well. I will keep you both in my prayers. Loved hearing about the retreat. ❤️🙏🏼
Hope everyone has a speedy recovery. Gayle Please go and relax for a few days
Oh no Gayle! I hope Mike is recovering well. And I pray that you manage to sneak by without getting it. My guy, Sam, works in building construction and he works out of town in the summer often. He takes a testing kit in his ditty bag just to be careful in case he or another other crew start to get sick.
Your journals look beautiful and it sounds like the experience overall was fun! Welcome back my friend. Please stay healthy ❤
💗 Ty Gayle!
Loved all of the things and stories from your retreat. So sorry about the unwanted visitor. Please let us know if Ruth does open an Etsy shop. Her work is amazing. Prayers for Mike that his symptoms are mild and he recovers quickly and for you that you continue to test negative. Hugs.
Thank you!!
So glad you are back, and so sorry about the you know what. I have been crazy careful, have ALL of my shots, and avoided it until NOW. I got it from my 4 year old grandson who had not yet gotten the shot (they were in the process, but the rollout to kids under 5 has been slow in our area). So my son, AND my 6, 4 and 1 year old grandsons all got it. But their mom did not! I watch them and got it from the 4 year old before we figured out what was causing his fever. The good news is, it's been fairly mild, and my husband and daughter are still negative. So not everyone in the the whole house has been getting it here... There's hope! Keeping my fingers crossed and sending prayers your way!
Oh dear Gayle, however its so nice to have you on your channel sooner than expected. I've learned so much from you. They say that there are only two groups of people in regards to Covid... those that have had it and those that will get it ! My husband has just had it, thankfully I'm still negative but I'm not holding my breathe, I think it's inevitable but I can only hope its not too bad having had four vaccinations:) Take care of yourself, Jenni S. Australia.
Oh my goodness! There is so much inspiration just in this video. Can’t imagine all the wonderful ideas and projects that went on at your retreat. Hoping your friend opens an Etsy shop - that journal is spectacular - so please let us know about it if she does. Wishing everyone a speedy recovery! And please if you end up in the kitchen there before Mike is back in business, well, I know that would make a video I’d love to see! 😄 Hugs and thanks for the awesome video!
Oh no! Hope everyone has speedy recoveries ❤️
