    Journal cover videos are my favourite. I could watch for hours (I may have binge watched all the journal cover videos in the playlist one weekend haha).

    Good morning Gayle. I enjoyed the Christmas cluster book and the great journal covers. I always learn something new when I watch you create. I loved the story about your routine for your kids and that your son is grateful for the efforts you made. It is so rewarding when your grown children acknowledge your efforts. I liked your story about your mom too. Mine was pretty much always right which I don’t think we ever fully appreciate when we are younger. Your cheerful attitude and kindness are always a breath of fresh air. I love starting my day with you. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us. 💜

    I use repositionable glue dots that come in a dispenser-goes really fast. I don’t always leave a comment, but I always enjoy spending time with you 💕

    Good morning, Gayle! I think the notion to use double-sided tape for adhering the clusters is a great one. Glue dots would work too, I think. I have yet to make one of these. We had too much going on when Tina first shared her idea. My mom was AMAZING at keeping us to a schedule growing up. I had a high bar set for me when I was raising our kids. (Didn't quite reach it but came awfully darned close. 😉) I used to hate having to take a nap/rest after lunch when the rest of the neighborhood kids were out playing. As I got older I didn't have to sleep, just play quietly or read while my brothers napped. On the odd occasion when I would sneak to the kitchen for a glass of water, my mom would be sound asleep on the couch, bless her. I think nap time was as much for her as for us! And now my body clock really wants to nap every afternoon around 2:00... tough when I worked full time. 😆I worked (as the office manager) in an elementary that had 4 developmental pre-school classrooms. Those teachers and aides are heroes in tennis shoes! My daughter comes this weekend to spend a week with us. She & her hubby moved to Washington in 2020 so he could go to Grad School. It's always a delightful time when they come back to visit (and of course we go there for visits too). I can relate to your excitement at getting to see your son! Glad you shared the "mistake" cutting some of the fabric pieces too small. It's true to life, even for experienced crafters, and demonstrated that there are no mistakes with a junk journal which hopefully encouraged some newbies watching. Enjoyed watching you make all of the covers today. I still need to see how you made the speckled canvas covers So many videos, so little time! Big old Idaho hugs, Marci 💖

    As it happens, I was sewing a cover with you. My first time patchworking leather for a cover. Probably never again! 😂 It's very, shall we say, 'rustic'. Thanks for the company, Gayle. You made the struggle seem far less painful. ❤ Belinda xxx

    I love how organized the cluster books make clusters so easy to see without going thru bags or boxes. The first time I saw Tina make one, I was hooked! I don’t usually use the background paper either so the double sided tape is a great idea! Have a great day!❤

    Good morning Gayle! The 2 canvas covers turned out so beautiful as did the others. I find the canvas covers so special because they are truly your work of art. I'm glad your son came for an over night. I have 2 sons, they are so special. Take care Gayle. I will see you tomorrow 😊🤗❤

    Good morning my Friend, like many others I am sorry we missed seeing your son but maybe next time he’s home. As always I enjoyed watching you work your artistic magic with the covers. I know that these journals are going to works of art. I have to tell you that you have a wonderful way of making my day. You bring so much joy and happiness by just being you and sharing with us.
    I look forward to starting my day with you because you always put me in a happy place. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day with Mike. God bless my dear friend.
    See you tomorrow.

    Good morning Gayle. I always enjoy seeing all the different ways you make covers .The lace you added to the last journal cover was a nice save. Good thinking! I use the white envelopes so I don't have to worry about the yellow color showing through light colored fabric. Hugs, Shell💜

    Gayle, my art group has found that using a Tombow tape runner is much faster and easier than having to cut and peel the double sided tape and it pops off without damage to the paper.

    I totally understand what you as a grandma are talking about with your grandson. Our. Granddaughter has dreamed of playing college soccer since she was a little girl. In one of her last games she got I injured with torn ACL, NFL and medial meniscus! Surgery and now doing PT, and was finally able to put cleats on and do stretches with her college team last week!! She can't play until next year, but coach made her team manager and she is very involved.

  • @Christycrafter
    @Christycrafter Год назад

    I told myself recently that I can not craft unless I get on my treadmill. Not sure why I am listening to myself though. Self needs a little bit of a talking to!!! Lol But funny thing is, before I had the talk with self about crafting and exercising, I had bloodwork done and I had perfect numbers!!!! First time in many years! In the email from my PCM she said keep up with the exercising 😂😂😂😂. Not telling her that I haven’t been doing anything. But I did start on some vitamins that has drastically made a difference. But now, really want to lose some weight also, so hopefully I can keep up with going on treadmill before crafting. 🤷‍♀️
    Loving your covers!!! Pointsetta one with the lace is my fave!!

    Suggestion, if you aren’t going to cut the mounting page & just pull them off, couldn’t you use both sides of each page? Could get a lot more clusters in your book. So excited about Christmas journal covers. The canvas ones turned out gorgeous. Headed to Home Depot today to get water filters for my well & of course a paint drop cloth. ! Yay 🧑‍🎄🎅🤶🎄🇨🇽

    Good morning Gayle! I LOVE your channel! I am an established crafter, but fairly new to junk journaling. I have a lot of experience with jewelry, painting, and vinyl (Silhouette). Do you have any videos on your current printer and preferred paper? I have a color commercial printer but it is a laser, not inkjet so the colors are not as vibrant as I would like. I have been researching new printers but haven't made a decision yet. I would love to hear your thoughts...
