Gayle, you can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all the people all the time. PLEASE just keep doing what you’re doing. When I first started making journals, your channel is the one I kept turning to. I have watched you for years. We’re about the same age and I don’t always like something you’re doing but I watch you anyway cause I think of you as a friend and we’re sitting around the kitchen table crafting. Don’t let these stupid ass people that don’t have nothing better to do, get to ya. There’s people out there that love to watch you collage. That’s how I learned and so did others and there’s newbies all the time that want to learn how. Just do what you do. That’s all I have to say. I could go on and on but you’d fall asleep reading this. We love ya
You brought tears to my eyes talking about Moms. I’m 77 and miss my Mom everyday. I love listening to your videos. Stay being yourself , I don’t want you any different!😘❤️
Sorry I was MIA yesterday!! (I think it's the first time I missed one of your videos within the same day of posting, since I started watching) But, I get to enjoy 2 full videos today...YAY!! I want you to know I'm so grateful for YOU & I enjoy whatever you do; that includes collaging & decorating!! ❤🤗🙏🏻 Tears were aflowing hearing your daughter 'needing her Mommy'...so special & a testament to the loving bond you share!!! [I lost my Mom when I was turning 12(now 61) & there have been so many times I've needed her & still do!!!]
How could anyone not LOVE what you do? You have inspired me so much. I have even started my little RUclips channel because of you. You are my go to to watch first on RUclips. My favourite channel out there. I think too, it’s because you are yourself, and your sincerity and love for the craft shines through! Thank you! You are appreciated ❤
I'm so glad that you realise how important it is for you to be 'you'. And by sharing this awareness with us, you are encouraging us to to who we are as individuals as well. ❤
I miss my mom every day. She has been gone 20 yrs seem like yesterday. There are times I can’t breathe. I’m making my daughter a journal with little memories and quotes for when I’m gone. When she needs me she can go read a journal card, check out a keepsake that I added or 😢a photo. I want her to have something to make her smile, laugh or just remember how much I love her.
Gayle, some days I wish I could reach through the screen and give you a big hug, and today is one of those days! It doesn't matter to me what you are working on, I love spending that time with you, and I probably speak for 99.9% of your subbies. YOU are why we are here, NOT what you are making. It is like crafting with a dear friend. What you were saying about needing our moms no matter how old we are brought a tear to my eye today. My mom was my best friend. She died 24 years ago, and I still miss and talk to her EVERY DAY. I feel like there are some people that will never feel right to be separated from...that is how I feel about my mom. These kinds of conversations are why you are so loved and why we watch everyday...NOT what you are making!! I would watch you fold laundry if that's what you needed to do! 😘
Fell down the You Tube rabbit hole at the start of the pandemic and fell in love with collage from watching your channel and several others. You provide so many good ideas. I love collecting quotes and now have found a way to pass these words of wisdom on. I’m making junk journals and postcards and incorporating quotes. I will pass these on to my grandchildren when they get older.
You have 60,000 subscribers for a reason Gayle - because we enjoy spending time with you as much as we enjoy what you do! But you can't please all of us all of the time; it's just not possible, lol! You do what you want to do and we'll follow along. I've watched you every day for nearly 3 years because I like you and I like your content. I'm also one of your patrons. Keep up the good work. We love you! Sincerely, Pat Walden
I love everything you do. You are so sweet and kind. You are so right you can only be you. What you said about Moms is so special. I lost my mom 23 years ago. She was my best friend. She was my craft partner. It was about 2 years after she died before I started enjoying crafting and celebrating the holidays again. She was so special in my life. Every time I craft i miss her. I will never stop missing her. Yes I talk to her too. You have a blessed day
Gayle, you just keep doing what you do and those that don't like it can just go watch something else. I think you are very inspirational and creative and have very much enjoyed your videos. I don't care how old you are you will always want your mom. I am very fortunate that I am almost 66 years old and still have my mom. She is 93 years old and still lives on her own. I can't even imagine what life will be like when she is gone.
Gayle just keep doing what you want to do. Keep playing and spreading joy. As you said, if they don't care for what you're doing, they have the power to turn it off and watch something else. Don't give them the power to control what you do. Continue to have fun and be you. There are plenty of us that enjoy collage or whatever else you are doing.
Good morning, Gayle! I know that I'm so very grateful I still have my Mama. That's one of my many blessings. Don't let negative comments bother you. Art is a constantly flowing thing and what doesn't necessarily speak to you one day will be something you're passionate about the next. Also, you can adapt it to suit your own taste. You are a treasure!! Love ya!!
I don't understand people. They can be so rude. If they don't like it, don't watch it. There might be thousands of us that love watching. They are out numbered. Gayle, keep on blessing us with your creativity!
My dad would say that you cannot please everyone every day. The only one you can please is yourself. I love all things craft and enjoy all that you do!!
Mrs Gayle, I watch a lot of crafters every day and out of all of them I go to you first thing and then go watch the rest. As a beginner of journal crafting , everything I have learned is pretty much off of you. And for the negative remarks just pray for them. Stay Amazing Mrs Gayle.
Gayle! Just do your thing! I love it! You are such a good person and great friend! You go girl! We always keep watching! Creativation is probably splitting into regional events to attract more vendors and speakers. The same "biggies" will probably be at both, (i.e. Tim Holtz, etc) so it depends on your schedule and travel arrangements (which is easier for you to get to.) That is just my opinion from the teacher conferences I have attended. You can look in the ad to see if it might be advertised as "national" or "international." Blessings --- Cindy
If the Hi and Hugs was meant for me, thank you! We love you Gayle, collage and all. Yes, I need my Mom, but sadly she's not here. I do still talk to her and hear all the wise advice and love she gave me. I only wish I appreciated it more when I was young and stupid. Thank God for you, and other great junk journal/crafting channels and all the KIND people in this community.
Hate collage?! That makes me laugh, what! Missing out. You are a joy and so willing to teach. I’m lucky to have stumbled upon your Channel and to have met you in person. I share your grandchildren concerns. Hugs and we are blessed to have clean air in MT once again.
I am glad you found a way to stop allowing the negative nancies to rain on your parade! You are so right, if someone does not like what you are doing, they can go watch someone else Or better, open their own channel and get a taste of what they are dishing out! I am a bit nervous, I will be teaching Junk Journals at a local arts and crafts center starting in October. One hour, once a week A different project each month! If they don't like the project I have planned, they can go play elsewhere! Hugs from Texas ( wish me well with introducing Junk Journals to a small town!)
Hi! I have been a subscriber a few weeks but almost seen all your videos. I have a depression and anxiety. Your videos are my therapy. I have learn so much from you. I love that you are just yourself and you do what you love. It's your channel! So thank you to be just yourself! Greatings from Sweden 😁♥️
Gayle, the reason I watch your channel is you! You are very talented in the paper arts plus you are entertaining. But most of all, you make me smile and laugh. When you said, “Okey Dokey, Artichokey, I literally laughed out loud. So you just be YOU and the viewers who appreciate your content will watch and the rest can watch something else. That’s why we have chocolate and vanilla, right! Take care and keep those videos coming. 🥰
Good morning Gayle. If people don’t like what you do then don’t watch. I totally agree that we should be ourselves. The negative people have nothing better to do and it’s sad they are so negative. We love ❤️ your videos and keep being you! Hugs 🤗 Dee
Hi Gayle, long time fan, first time commenter. I love your videos and your creative energy has inspired me so much. I love all your ideas and your humor when you fudge stuff up is so inspiring...I feel less pressure to be perfect in my Journaling. I am disabled and your videos have inspired me to make journals for sale. So far I have 9 special orders in the works. All little golden books and junior elf books but , with all that practice I hope to gain the confidence to make my own out of recycled boxes and fabrics. I have saved a whole bunch of boxes. Thank you Gayle for all your inspiration and quirkiness. Don't change for or second guess yourself . You are an inspiration!! ❤✌️
Dearest Gail...You are phenomenal and a true artist.. Don't doubt yourself over a few who won't appreciate what folks are sharing on you tube.Sending you gentle hugs. Mary from British Columbia Canada
Hey Gayle! Another great video. Always remember the wise words from Timmy: You do you. Because you are beautiful being you and the world could use more people like you. You always bring joy and inspiration. Even your need to clean up that mess is inspiring: I need to do the same and the tip to separate by size will be a great help. You are enough, you are awesome, you are beautiful inside and out!
I sure don’t understand people having to say they “hate” something. I learned a long time ago that hate is a bad thing and wastes time in our lives. Gayle, I love who you are and whatever you do is a blessing to me! I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you for being you. Lots of love and hugs❣️🤗💕🦋
We love you just the way you are Miss Gayle, just be yourself! My Mom has been gone 16 years and I still miss her everyday, I also feel her with me all the time. My girls do the same thing, “ I just need my Mom” melts your heart, doesn’t it? Have a great day Gayle.
Hi Gayle! Oh so many good points in your video today! I love love love collage, so don't stop. I still talk to my Mom and she has been gone 13 years last week. Miss her everyday. It is amazing to me how an off hand comment can make us doubt ourselves. Happens to me even though I try to not to. I just got a postcard from Creativation, it is in Columbus, OH in 2023. I will send you a photo. You were talking to me today, lol. Hugs my friend!
I think you're artistic. Keep doing what you're doing, I love it. I always feel that people that always say negative things they don't create any- thing themselves.Creative people are more interesting anyway and there are enough of us to back. You and your friend Ceri create such beautiful things.I love to watch both of you.
Gayle, people need to learn to just be kinder… they wouldn’t like it if people hated what they do…yes just be yourself, the beautiful and sweet Gayle who takes time to make awesome videos for us. And a super big thanks to all your lovely subbies, that support our little Etsy shops after your Etsy shares. I miss my mom more than anything 😘
I would say don’t worry about what others say but I know you still will. I listen to you everyday. There are people I can’t watch that I don’t, I would never post that I didn’t like something I just don’t watch 😉. My mom passed in 2004 and I still miss her and wish I could talk to her. Thank you for all you do!
Ms. Gayle - You do you. Do what pleases you. I love making mini albums and I happened to watch a video about junk journaling. Now I want to incorporate both. You are a major source for me obtaining knowledge, ideas and inspiration. You also spend a lot of my money with your etsy shares!! And I love it! Everyone needs a passion and you are feeding my passion. Keep doing what you do and ignore the naysayers. They can go elsewhere, scroll on!
People are so rude aren’t they Gayle, you wonder if they’ve never heard the expression “if you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all”. We all love what you do, and love your advice of just be yourself. Much love to you x
Yes, you do YOU. You are delightful just as you are! 💐 I have been with you for years, almost since the beginning of your RUclips-ing. I don’t have time to watch every video, especially in good weather seasons when I have so much to do outdoors; but I wish I could watch them all. 💕
I love that you are you! Every time I watch your video I learn something new and love seeing the process ... I appreciate so much that you turn that camera on and craft, chat, share special moments in your life! so, collage away, my friend!!
Hi Ms. Gayle you in my eyes and heart can do no harm, please do what brings you joy because when you are happy you make me laugh so hard. So please know that I love your creativity and so appreciate all the love that you put in your videos. God bless you mightly ❤️❤️ sending you all my love from Portugal ❤️❤️
Good afternoon, Gayle! I think you'll also have to remind yourself that people making negative comments probably can't do a quarter of the beautiful things that you create! Keep on keepin' on, my friend!
I will watch no matter what you make. It’s all beautiful! I enjoy your giggles and hearing about your family! Your comment about your daughter needing you and your response was awesome. I too still need my mom and luckily she is still here for me! I raised my girls the same way! Just turn on the camera and make stuff, we’ll be here!
Gayle Drew was absolutely right. You do you as you always have. We Love you as you are!! I love, "Stranger Things", too!!! I hate that there's only one more season. I grieve my ex's Mom who we lost about a year ago. She helped me to get through losing my grandmother who raised me and many other things she was as much a mom as any mom could be for me. Great job your granddaughter did!! Be safe💕
Our two daughters have high stress jobs and they call us to talk and I’m so blessed that they do. My husband and I have been married 42 yrs today and we are blessed with wonderful daughters and Granddaughters 3 of them 💕 I also miss my mom she has been gone 5 years.
I love watching you and listening to you talk about everyday things. I can relate to your story of your daughter calling you with work related stories. Mine did the same after the second day back to school. Then I wish I could call mine, too! I have very dear friends in Bozeman so when you mention going there, I think of them and all our time spent there. Keep on going, Gayle.
re: collage- could watch ALL day! re: channel- the unedited, uninterrupted work flow inspire me to accept my process as mine re: the haters -gonna hate - so sad those who don’t do have only criticism of those who do re: helper- pick me- lol- gayle your channel uplifts my day on the regular & i am always grateful for you & your sharing- keep being you!
Lady you are a wonderful person 💞 and you create beautiful things. People need to realize you have to work on what you are feeling and so be it! Stay true to yourself ❤️ hugs 🤗
Good afternoon Gayle! When the “you know what” started, I stumbled across your videos and was just enthralled by everything you did. You inspired me to go from mixed media art to junk journaling. I haven’t looked back since then! I just love watching you collage and make whatever art you’re doodling with. You are an excellent teacher and I love your stories of your family and love your giggles at yourself. Please don’t ever doubt that you inspire and please most of your almost 60,000 subbies! Just remember not to let the negativity of others destroy your inner peace! Thank you for being you, cuz there’s not another Gayle Agostinelli!! 💖💕Hugs! P.S. miss my mama too…🥺
You are the best and should never secondguess yourself. And you do not have to explain yourself. It is all your choises, and you do great. Love your channel.
Hello Gayle! As a fellow RUclipsr I wanted to give my comment some thought. Your videos are great and you have not only created a marvelous community here on RUclips, you have built a thriving business for you and your family. Not too many craft related channels can say that. As creators we tend to read all the comments with perhaps a sterner voice than we should. We don't have the advantage of facial expressions or tone of voice. I pray the person who does not care for collage did not mean to come across with a harsh tone. You are very wise to simply be yourself. I do that in my videos too. Some of my videos get less than 100 views and some get over a thousand. I just keep plugging away and try to tweak and massage my style to attempt to please more people but at the end of the day they just get me. Thank you for continuing to be a guidepost to so many of us just getting started. I appreciate all you do. ❤❤❤
I’m glad you showed how to use the tracing paper clusters. I finally made some this evening for the first time, like them, and now know how to use them. They are so fun to make❣️🤗💕🦋
I love collage and really struggle to do it so I am glad when I get to see videos on other people's views. You know, if I start a video that I don't really care about I just skip it and go on to another one. You can't please everyone all the time. Thank you for all you do!
If you don’t be true to yourself in your life then it’s like telling a lie not only to yourself but to others. Always do what you feel lead to do and say. If people don’t want to watch then go somewhere else and come back later. I love your honesty and willingness to help others. Love and hugs from northeast Louisiana.
I totally feel the same way you do Gayle about not pleasing other people and just create with your heart! I am still very nervous speaking on my RUclips videos, but I know in time it will get easier. I'm trying to ready myself for when that first "negative" comment comes. Even though my Mom has been gone for many years, I always look at her pic and talk to her. I love that my grown, adult daughters still love to talk and hang out with me also! Oh yes! Stranger Things totally rocks doesn't it! 11 is my idol! Great ephemera today!
Love your channel. Love your art. Love learning from you. Sadly my mother and I parted ways 50 years ago. But I’ve been fortunate to have many other ladies throughout my life that I could go to as a mother. Take care, be you.
Hi Gayle ❤️🙏🏻. All I wanted to say is that I truly love your videos even though I’m not a planner maker or anything that goes with what you do but, I love you as you are and love watching you and your very funny sense of humor, honesty, and also even the funny comments you make too. God bless you and love to you always! Sue M. (Clearwater, Florida)❤️🥰😊🌼😘🙏🏻👍❌⭕️❌⭕️
I missed watching you so much…I have been in the hospital for six weeks but now I am home. I still can’t wait to get back to crafting. Thank you for all you do and all the hard work you have done in bringing us these great videos.❤
I loveeeeee all your videos and the fact you are yourself in them and as you say scroll on if the video is not for you. I can't understand why people have to put negative comments up.....just scroll on. Keep up your amazing crafting Gayle as your such an inspiration to us all. 💗
Gayle you and my husband love stranger things. I’m not a fantasy sci-fi person, but each to his own. I love your collage projects. You give me lots of ideas. Keep them coming.
I may not always comment on your videos but I do watch them all, love you 😘😘and keep doing what you do 😀😀 have learned so much from you and TFS 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Please, just “be yo-you” You are why I watch your channel everyday, usually first thing in the morning. As I commented before, I make mini albums, but your creativity fascinates me and I have gleaned ideas to translate into my craft. But the main reason I watch is to listen to you talk about - whatever! You never fail to bring at least one smile, chuckle or down right laugh to my day. Keep up that good work!
Please, please keep doing what you do. I love hearing you talk about your life. Often it brings back memories that I have. As I have told you before, your ideas inspire me. Keep do collages because one day I’m going to be brave enough to try it.
Gayle~ I love everything you do! I don't understand how people can complain about what, how, etc. you do on your videos. What difference should it make to them! I think it was the 1st of 2nd times I watched you, you said someone had complained about how many times you were saying "Fun". What thing to complain about! You're right! You do, what you do!
Personally I love collage. Can't get enouvh. Love your channel for it's helpful information & encouagement. You are so real & authentic. So appreciate your kind spirit. You be you. God's blessings.
I love collages, collaging-my own and purchasing from others!!! Don't stop. We are agreed that it is one of the best things there is for decorating journals, cards, etc. You are the best. Don't ever second guess yourself. Loved the tracing strip use too.
Gonna be 100 degrees here in Southern Nebraska before it finally cools down tomorrow. Planning to spend afternoon in my craft room working on fall gratitude journals.
I am in Nebraska too. I make little golden books as memory journals. I have some up on my channel if you'd like to check them out. I haven't made one in awhile though.
I am one of those people (and I may be the only one) who hate collage-making and I don't think it's a 'not so positive' feeling/comment. I like the finished product, the cutting up of the collage into cards and tags, and decorating them. It's about me, not you, Gayle. You tell people to fast-forward all the time so I do. But I'm still here EVERY DAY because I enjoy your attitude, your style, your tutorials, and you. I don't like green beans either - LOL!
Gayle. Your channel. Your choice. I personally love collage. Some people just don’t no any better. I watch you because you are you! Never miss coffee with Gayle 🧡💛🧡
Hi Gayle! Speaking of mom’s; asI started to watch your video my mom called me, she is 91 years old, we were catching up on things. I enjoy watching you collage, it has helped me with mine. Have a wonderful evening, enjoy your movies and see you tomorrow. 👍🏻🌻🌻🌻
How can anyone not like collage!! Gayle, just you do you. There's a reason you have over 59.9k subscribers!! And yes my mother is gone but I still talk to her too. And we always love it when our kids come to us for help. I also share your concerns about social media and our grandkids. There's just too much pressure on the kids of today due to social media. Something has to change. Anyway have a great day and enjoy the volleyball games!
You are the reason I watch. Your channel your choice. If someone doesn’t like who is making them watch? That saying if you can’t say something nice must have missed them some how.😊
I love listening to you Gayle as you chatter away while I craft and today you have me really listening to you and i just want to say that I love what you do and the knocker if they have a bad feeling about what you do then that, is their problem, not your ( if you have the feeling you have the problem) keep doing what you do love it.
I know it's hard to ignore the negative but you give so much good advice for people that love journaling, and art. I guess those that don't like to watch collaging don't have to watch it. Simple for them because you love collage. 😍😍🥰🥰☀️☀️😳😍😏
Just last week got into a conversation with a college student, she journals are expensive and I suggested she make her own. Right away I gave her your channel, I live just blocks away from Rowan in Glassbolo, n.j .
I love your tracing paper strips and I thoroughly enjoy your collage videos!! I totally agree with you to just be you!! We are one of a kind!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
My thought before you said about the not positive comments was, "Who doesn't love a random crafty time!" Apparently there may be some people I guess, but I'm not one of those people. Definitely keep being yourself. It's a "them" issue not a you issue. I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs
Good morning Gayle!!! My first day back...I've missed watching you in the morning!! Hubby is doing good now. Couple of rough weeks in and out of the hospital after surgery, but thankful he's on the mend now. The tumor they removed was the size of a football!! We couldn't believe it was that big. Really enjoyed watching you today and I can't wait to get back in my craft shed!! Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers, so appreciated. Have an awesome day...💜
Gayle, you can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all the people all the time. PLEASE just keep doing what you’re doing. When I first started making journals, your channel is the one I kept turning to. I have watched you for years. We’re about the same age and I don’t always like something you’re doing but I watch you anyway cause I think of you as a friend and we’re sitting around the kitchen table crafting. Don’t let these stupid ass people that don’t have nothing better to do, get to ya. There’s people out there that love to watch you collage. That’s how I learned and so did others and there’s newbies all the time that want to learn how. Just do what you do. That’s all I have to say. I could go on and on but you’d fall asleep reading this. We love ya
Thanks Karen! Love you back! ❤️
Well said!
You brought tears to my eyes talking about Moms. I’m 77 and miss my Mom everyday. I love listening to your videos. Stay being yourself , I don’t want you any different!😘❤️
Me too.
Sorry I was MIA yesterday!! (I think it's the first time I missed one of your videos within the same day of posting, since I started watching) But, I get to enjoy 2 full videos today...YAY!! I want you to know I'm so grateful for YOU & I enjoy whatever you do; that includes collaging & decorating!! ❤🤗🙏🏻 Tears were aflowing hearing your daughter 'needing her Mommy'...so special & a testament to the loving bond you share!!! [I lost my Mom when I was turning 12(now 61) & there have been so many times I've needed her & still do!!!]

I love just crafting!!! I love collage! Who says "you do you"? Timmy knows best!
Fell down the You Tube rabbit hole at the start of the pandemic and fell in love with collage from watching your channel and several others. You provide so many good ideas. I love collecting quotes and now have found a way to pass these words of wisdom on. I’m making junk journals and postcards and incorporating quotes. I will pass these on to my grandchildren when they get older.

Good morning, Gayle! I know that I'm so very grateful I still have my Mama. That's one of my many blessings. Don't let negative comments bother you. Art is a constantly flowing thing and what doesn't necessarily speak to you one day will be something you're passionate about the next. Also, you can adapt it to suit your own taste. You are a treasure!! Love ya!!
I don't understand people. They can be so rude. If they don't like it, don't watch it. There might be thousands of us that love watching. They are out numbered. Gayle, keep on blessing us with your creativity!
Gayle, you being you is why I watch your videos. Do what you love and don't worry about those complainers. 🥰
I do agree 💯
I talk to my mom daily. They are the voices whispering in our ears. And yes, they respond. ❤
My dad would say that you cannot please everyone every day. The only one you can please is yourself. I love all things craft and enjoy all that you do!!
Mrs Gayle, I watch a lot of crafters every day and out of all of them I go to you first thing and then go watch the rest. As a beginner of journal crafting , everything I have learned is pretty much off of you. And for the negative remarks just pray for them. Stay Amazing Mrs Gayle.
Thanks Brenda! ❤️
Gayle! Just do your thing! I love it! You are such a good person and great friend! You go girl! We always keep watching! Creativation is probably splitting into regional events to attract more vendors and speakers. The same "biggies" will probably be at both, (i.e. Tim Holtz, etc) so it depends on your schedule and travel arrangements (which is easier for you to get to.) That is just my opinion from the teacher conferences I have attended. You can look in the ad to see if it might be advertised as "national" or "international." Blessings --- Cindy
If the Hi and Hugs was meant for me, thank you! We love you Gayle, collage and all. Yes, I need my Mom, but sadly she's not here. I do still talk to her and hear all the wise advice and love she gave me. I only wish I appreciated it more when I was young and stupid. Thank God for you, and other great junk journal/crafting channels and all the KIND people in this community.
I was hoping hi and hugs was for me. But I’m happy to share with a fellow namesake. Take care and happy crafting.
As Timmy says, "You do YOU!" I honestly don't know what folks think gives them the right to criticize - it baffles! Thanks for all you do!
Hate collage?! That makes me laugh, what! Missing out.
You are a joy and so willing to teach. I’m lucky to have stumbled upon your Channel and to have met you in person.
I share your grandchildren concerns. Hugs and we are blessed to have clean air in MT once again.
Good Morning Gayle 😊🌹
Thank you so much for reassuring me that it's OK to just be me. I love to watch you play❤️
I am glad you found a way to stop allowing the negative nancies to rain on your parade! You are so right, if someone does not like what you are doing, they can go watch someone else Or better, open their own channel and get a taste of what they are dishing out! I am a bit nervous, I will be teaching Junk Journals at a local arts and crafts center starting in October. One hour, once a week A different project each month! If they don't like the project I have planned, they can go play elsewhere! Hugs from Texas ( wish me well with introducing Junk Journals to a small town!)
Pay the meanies no mind, I enjoy both you and Drew! You both make me laugh and at 70 I can use a good laugh, be you!
Hi! I have been a subscriber a few weeks but almost seen all your videos. I have a depression and anxiety. Your videos are my therapy. I have learn so much from you. I love that you are just yourself and you do what you love. It's your channel! So thank you to be just yourself! Greatings from Sweden 😁♥️
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️
Way more people love your videos than not, haters gonna hate but we can rise above that! We love you Gayle! ❤
Gayle, the reason I watch your channel is you! You are very talented in the paper arts plus you are entertaining. But most of all, you make me smile and laugh. When you said, “Okey Dokey, Artichokey, I literally laughed out loud. So you just be YOU and the viewers who appreciate your content will watch and the rest can watch something else. That’s why we have chocolate and vanilla, right! Take care and keep those videos coming. 🥰
Good morning Gayle. If people don’t like what you do then don’t watch. I totally agree that we should be ourselves. The negative people have nothing better to do and it’s sad they are so negative. We love ❤️ your videos and keep being you! Hugs 🤗 Dee
Good Morning Gayle! You keep doing whatever your heart desires that day. And always stay your amazing self! 💜
Hi Gayle, long time fan, first time commenter. I love your videos and your creative energy has inspired me so much. I love all your ideas and your humor when you fudge stuff up is so inspiring...I feel less pressure to be perfect in my Journaling. I am disabled and your videos have inspired me to make journals for sale. So far I have 9 special orders in the works. All little golden books and junior elf books but , with all that practice I hope to gain the confidence to make my own out of recycled boxes and fabrics. I have saved a whole bunch of boxes. Thank you Gayle for all your inspiration and quirkiness. Don't change for or second guess yourself . You are an inspiration!! ❤✌️
Thanks you, May, for your kind comment and for watching for so long! 🤗❤️
Dearest Gail...You are phenomenal and a true artist.. Don't doubt yourself over a few who won't appreciate what folks are sharing on you tube.Sending you gentle hugs. Mary from British Columbia Canada
Hey Gayle! Another great video. Always remember the wise words from Timmy: You do you. Because you are beautiful being you and the world could use more people like you. You always bring joy and inspiration. Even your need to clean up that mess is inspiring: I need to do the same and the tip to separate by size will be a great help. You are enough, you are awesome, you are beautiful inside and out!
I sure don’t understand people having to say they “hate” something. I learned a long time ago that hate is a bad thing and wastes time in our lives. Gayle, I love who you are and whatever you do is a blessing to me! I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you for being you. Lots of love and hugs❣️🤗💕🦋
We love you just the way you are Miss Gayle, just be yourself! My Mom has been gone 16 years and I still miss her everyday, I also feel her with me all the time. My girls do the same thing, “ I just need my Mom” melts your heart, doesn’t it? Have a great day Gayle.
Hi Gayle! Oh so many good points in your video today! I love love love collage, so don't stop. I still talk to my Mom and she has been gone 13 years last week. Miss her everyday. It is amazing to me how an off hand comment can make us doubt ourselves. Happens to me even though I try to not to. I just got a postcard from Creativation, it is in Columbus, OH in 2023. I will send you a photo. You were talking to me today, lol. Hugs my friend!
I cannot believe how many beautiful pieces you were able to complete in an hour!!!! I am sooooo jealous!!!! Thank you!!
I just feel it a privilege to be a fly on the wall in your craft room! I enjoy ALL you do!
I agree
I think you're artistic. Keep doing what you're doing, I love it. I always feel that people that always say negative things they don't create any- thing themselves.Creative people are more interesting anyway and there are enough of us to back. You and your friend Ceri create such beautiful things.I love to watch both of you.
Gayle, people need to learn to just be kinder… they wouldn’t like it if people hated what they do…yes just be yourself, the beautiful and sweet Gayle who takes time to make awesome videos for us. And a super big thanks to all your lovely subbies, that support our little Etsy shops after your Etsy shares. I miss my mom more than anything 😘
I would say don’t worry about what others say but I know you still will. I listen to you everyday. There are people I can’t watch that I don’t, I would never post that I didn’t like something I just don’t watch 😉. My mom passed in 2004 and I still miss her and wish I could talk to her. Thank you for all you do!
The tracing paper strips are always so fun to decorate with! And your collaging always inspires me 💕💕💕
Ms. Gayle - You do you. Do what pleases you. I love making mini albums and I happened to watch a video about junk journaling. Now I want to incorporate both. You are a major source for me obtaining knowledge, ideas and inspiration. You also spend a lot of my money with your etsy shares!! And I love it! Everyone needs a passion and you are feeding my passion. Keep doing what you do and ignore the naysayers. They can go elsewhere, scroll on!
People are so rude aren’t they Gayle, you wonder if they’ve never heard the expression “if you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all”. We all love what you do, and love your advice of just be yourself. Much love to you x
Yes, you do YOU. You are delightful just as you are! 💐 I have been with you for years, almost since the beginning of your RUclips-ing. I don’t have time to watch every video, especially in good weather seasons when I have so much to do outdoors; but I wish I could watch them all. 💕
I love that you are you! Every time I watch your video I learn something new and love seeing the process ... I appreciate so much that you turn that camera on and craft, chat, share special moments in your life! so, collage away, my friend!!
Hi Ms. Gayle you in my eyes and heart can do no harm, please do what brings you joy because when you are happy you make me laugh so hard. So please know that I love your creativity and so appreciate all the love that you put in your videos. God bless you mightly ❤️❤️ sending you all my love from Portugal ❤️❤️
Good afternoon, Gayle! I think you'll also have to remind yourself that people making negative comments probably can't do a quarter of the beautiful things that you create! Keep on keepin' on, my friend!
Good afternoon, Gayle. Please keep collaging. I find it so relaxing to collage with you.
I will watch no matter what you make. It’s all beautiful! I enjoy your giggles and hearing about your family! Your comment about your daughter needing you and your response was awesome. I too still need my mom and luckily she is still here for me! I raised my girls the same way! Just turn on the camera and make stuff, we’ll be here!
Keep doing you Gayle 💜
I enjoy watching you do collage!
Gayle Drew was absolutely right. You do you as you always have. We Love you as you are!! I love, "Stranger Things", too!!! I hate that there's only one more season. I grieve my ex's Mom who we lost about a year ago. She helped me to get through losing my grandmother who raised me and many other things she was as much a mom as any mom could be for me. Great job your granddaughter did!! Be safe💕
Our two daughters have high stress jobs and they call us to talk and I’m so blessed that they do. My husband and I have been married 42 yrs today and we are blessed with wonderful daughters and Granddaughters 3 of them 💕 I also miss my mom she has been gone 5 years.
Happy Anniversary, Ann! ❤️
I LOVE Collage! You GO Girl, do what makes you feel Happy. ☺️❣️🎈🎉
I love watching you and listening to you talk about everyday things. I can relate to your story of your daughter calling you with work related stories. Mine did the same after the second day back to school. Then I wish I could call mine, too! I have very dear friends in Bozeman so when you mention going there, I think of them and all our time spent there. Keep on going, Gayle.
re: collage- could watch ALL day!
re: channel- the unedited, uninterrupted work flow inspire me to accept my process as mine
re: the haters -gonna hate - so sad those who don’t do have only criticism of those who do
re: helper- pick me- lol- gayle your channel uplifts my day on the regular & i am always grateful for you & your sharing- keep being you!
Lady you are a wonderful person 💞 and you create beautiful things. People need to realize you have to work on what you are feeling and so be it! Stay true to yourself ❤️ hugs 🤗
Good afternoon Gayle! When the “you know what” started, I stumbled across your videos and was just enthralled by everything you did. You inspired me to go from mixed media art to junk journaling. I haven’t looked back since then! I just love watching you collage and make whatever art you’re doodling with. You are an excellent teacher and I love your stories of your family and love your giggles at yourself. Please don’t ever doubt that you inspire and please most of your almost 60,000 subbies! Just remember not to let the negativity of others destroy your inner peace! Thank you for being you, cuz there’s not another Gayle Agostinelli!! 💖💕Hugs! P.S. miss my mama too…🥺
You are the best and should never secondguess yourself. And you do not have to explain yourself. It is all your choises, and you do great. Love your channel.
Hello Gayle! As a fellow RUclipsr I wanted to give my comment some thought. Your videos are great and you have not only created a marvelous community here on RUclips, you have built a thriving business for you and your family. Not too many craft related channels can say that. As creators we tend to read all the comments with perhaps a sterner voice than we should. We don't have the advantage of facial expressions or tone of voice. I pray the person who does not care for collage did not mean to come across with a harsh tone.
You are very wise to simply be yourself. I do that in my videos too. Some of my videos get less than 100 views and some get over a thousand. I just keep plugging away and try to tweak and massage my style to attempt to please more people but at the end of the day they just get me.
Thank you for continuing to be a guidepost to so many of us just getting started. I appreciate all you do. ❤❤❤
I’m glad you showed how to use the tracing paper clusters. I finally made some this evening for the first time, like them, and now know how to use them. They are so fun to make❣️🤗💕🦋
I love collage and really struggle to do it so I am glad when I get to see videos on other people's views. You know, if I start a video that I don't really care about I just skip it and go on to another one. You can't please everyone all the time. Thank you for all you do!
Season 4 of Stranger Things was epic. Can’t wait for the next.
❤Eddie
If you don’t be true to yourself in your life then it’s like telling a lie not only to yourself but to
others. Always do what you feel lead to do and say. If people don’t want to watch then go somewhere else and come back later. I love your honesty and willingness to help others. Love and hugs from northeast Louisiana.
I totally feel the same way you do Gayle about not pleasing other people and just create with your heart! I am still very nervous speaking on my RUclips videos, but I know in time it will get easier. I'm trying to ready myself for when that first "negative" comment comes. Even though my Mom has been gone for many years, I always look at her pic and talk to her. I love that my grown, adult daughters still love to talk and hang out with me also! Oh yes! Stranger Things totally rocks doesn't it! 11 is my idol! Great ephemera today!
Love your channel. Love your art. Love learning from you. Sadly my mother and I parted ways 50 years ago. But I’ve been fortunate to have many other ladies throughout my life that I could go to as a mother. Take care, be you.
I agree with you Gail, if people don’t like what they see they don’t have to watch.
Hi Gayle ❤️🙏🏻. All I wanted to say is that I truly love your videos even though I’m not a planner maker or anything that goes with what you do but, I love you as you are and love watching you and your very funny sense of humor, honesty, and also even the funny comments you make too. God bless you and love to you always! Sue M. (Clearwater, Florida)❤️🥰😊🌼😘🙏🏻👍❌⭕️❌⭕️
I missed watching you so much…I have been in the hospital for six weeks but now I am home. I still can’t wait to get back to crafting. Thank you for all you do and all the hard work you have done in bringing us these great videos.❤
I hope you’re well on your way to good health. So glad you are home.
Prayers for a speedy recovery for you!
I loveeeeee all your videos and the fact you are yourself in them and as you say scroll on if the video is not for you. I can't understand why people have to put negative comments up.....just scroll on.
Keep up your amazing crafting Gayle as your such an inspiration to us all. 💗
Gayle you and my husband love stranger things. I’m not a fantasy sci-fi person, but each to his own. I love your collage projects. You give me lots of ideas. Keep them coming.
I may not always comment on your videos but I do watch them all, love you 😘😘and keep doing what you do 😀😀 have learned so much from you and TFS 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Please, just “be yo-you” You are why I watch your channel everyday, usually first thing in the morning. As I commented before, I make mini albums, but your creativity fascinates me and I have gleaned ideas to translate into my craft. But the main reason I watch is to listen to you talk about - whatever! You never fail to bring at least one smile, chuckle or down right laugh to my day. Keep up that good work!
Please, please keep doing what you do. I love hearing you talk about your life. Often it brings back memories that I have. As I have told you before, your ideas inspire me. Keep do collages because one day I’m going to be brave enough to try it.
Gayle~ I love everything you do! I don't understand how people can complain about what, how, etc. you do on your videos. What difference should it make to them! I think it was the 1st of 2nd times I watched you, you said someone had complained about how many times you were saying "Fun". What thing to complain about! You're right! You do, what you do!
Personally I love collage. Can't get enouvh. Love your channel for it's helpful information & encouagement. You are so real & authentic. So appreciate your kind spirit. You be you. God's blessings.
I'm 72 and I still miss my Mom! I look forward to your videos every day❣
I love collages, collaging-my own and purchasing from others!!! Don't stop. We are agreed that it is one of the best things there is for decorating journals, cards, etc. You are the best. Don't ever second guess yourself. Loved the tracing strip use too.
Gonna be 100 degrees here in Southern Nebraska before it finally cools down tomorrow. Planning to spend afternoon in my craft room working on fall gratitude journals.
I am in Nebraska too. I make little golden books as memory journals. I have some up on my channel if you'd like to check them out. I haven't made one in awhile though.
I am one of those people (and I may be the only one) who hate collage-making and I don't think it's a 'not so positive' feeling/comment. I like the finished product, the cutting up of the collage into cards and tags, and decorating them. It's about me, not you, Gayle. You tell people to fast-forward all the time so I do. But I'm still here EVERY DAY because I enjoy your attitude, your style, your tutorials, and you. I don't like green beans either - LOL!
Fun ephemera Gayle! Love you!❤
Love you too, dear Amy! ❤️
Gayle. Your channel. Your choice. I personally love collage. Some people just don’t no any better. I watch you because you are you! Never miss coffee with Gayle 🧡💛🧡
Hi Gayle! Speaking of mom’s; asI started to watch your video my mom called me, she is 91 years old, we were catching up on things. I enjoy watching you collage, it has helped me with mine. Have a wonderful evening, enjoy your movies and see you tomorrow. 👍🏻🌻🌻🌻
How can anyone not like collage!! Gayle, just you do you. There's a reason you have over 59.9k subscribers!!
And yes my mother is gone but I still talk to her too. And we always love it when our kids come to us for help. I also share your concerns about social media and our grandkids. There's just too much pressure on the kids of today due to social media. Something has to change.
Anyway have a great day and enjoy the volleyball games!
You are the reason I watch. Your channel your choice. If someone doesn’t like who is making them watch? That saying if you can’t say something nice must have missed them some how.😊
I love listening to you Gayle as you chatter away while I craft and today you have me really listening to you and i just want to say that I love what you do and the knocker if they have a bad feeling about what you do then that, is their problem, not your ( if you have the feeling you have the problem) keep doing what you do love it.
I know it's hard to ignore the negative but you give so much good advice for people that love journaling, and art. I guess those that don't like to watch collaging don't have to watch it. Simple for them because you love collage. 😍😍🥰🥰☀️☀️😳😍😏
Good morning, Gayle. It amazes me how much more scrapes I tend to make when trying to clear off my desk! 😂
Man, I hear Ya! And just when I try and tidy up a section, I find more that needs to go Into that section.... 🤗
Just last week got into a conversation with a college student, she journals are expensive and I suggested she make her own. Right away I gave her your channel, I live just blocks away from Rowan in Glassbolo, n.j .
Thanks so much, Joan! ❤️
I love your tracing paper strips and I thoroughly enjoy your collage videos!! I totally agree with you to just be you!! We are one of a kind!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
I love crafting and listening to your videos
I absolutely love love your collage videos, your awesome, plz don’t change anything, hugs from Alabama!
I am always in awe of the amount supplies you have! You always have just the right thing.
Love all you do Gayle!!😊
My thought before you said about the not positive comments was, "Who doesn't love a random crafty time!" Apparently there may be some people I guess, but I'm not one of those people. Definitely keep being yourself. It's a "them" issue not a you issue.
I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs
Happy Tuesday gayle and yes just be yourself 😘
Good morning Gayle!!! My first day back...I've missed watching you in the morning!! Hubby is doing good now. Couple of rough weeks in and out of the hospital after surgery, but thankful he's on the mend now. The tumor they removed was the size of a football!! We couldn't believe it was that big. Really enjoyed watching you today and I can't wait to get back in my craft shed!! Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers, so appreciated. Have an awesome day...💜
Prayers for a speedy recovery for your husband!
@@crafterdeidra Thank you!! 💜
So beautiful I just love watching g you collage. Bless you.
I love your videos. I look forward to watching them everyday.
