Wow! Gayle, such beautiful journals, I love them all! I’m afraid I hardly watched the Margarete Miller challenge as I was so excited to see what you had done at your retreat, I did notice the Big Ben in the picture, but then I would, being in th U.K., so I was watching some 😂😂 I also adored the 49 &Market papers, they always do such beautiful things. The seven signature journal looks brilliant, can’t wait to see you work on it. Well, I could go on at the risk of sending you completely to sleep, but looks as if you had a great time, you certainly deserve it. Thankyou so much for sharing and keeping me company. Take care x

[@visualisednz]

You got so much achieved and each one is divine. No skimping on these in favour of quantity. Epic, Gayle. The dictionary is wonderful and I will very much enjoy watching you create that journal. Your attention to detail is perfection. ❤ Belinda xxx

[@donitamoore9748]

Oh my, all those journals are beautiful! I’m definitely going to have to watch the flip throughs again, and maybe again. So glad you had a fun time! Always nice to get together with friends and recharge ourselves. Have a blessed day!

[@joannesmith4593]

Honestly Gayle....are you some how blessed with more hours in the day then the rest of us? How in the world did you get so much done, plus time to have fun? I am so happy you enjoyed your time away. The journals are beautiful. And I'm really looking forward to your dictionary journal.

[@michellecano4350]

Gayle, I love what you did with my heart cover❣️ Thanks for your support. Michelle, aka thecraftsychihuahua

[@hollylapinski3328]

These are all fabulous! It's hard to choose a favorite. I can't believe you got all that extra ephemera and all those signatures done for that big dictionary journal, too. (As well as your original 7 journals you prepped) Wowza!! You deserve a new paper stash and everything else you bought as well. Tfs!!! ☺️💜

[@lalagamma4452]

Busy 🐝 Bee, my sweet friend!! Everything is beautiful!! Sounds like a great vacation/crafting with friends. Thank you for sharing. 🐞🥰

[@rachelpatten8889]

Glad you had a wonderful retreat! You were able to get so much done. When you get a chance, would you do a tutorial on the pocket folio that flipped up and down and forward and back? It was amazing! I know all 64,000 of your followers would cherish one of your journals, but there is no way. Like you say, you’d have to live to be 369 or so. We understand that. ❤❤❤❤

[@lightbulbnirvana]

Hi Gayle, I felt the Cabinet Card Journal was the best one you've ever done! (of the journals I've seen you do!) Whoever gets that one will be very lucky to snatch it. I hope you will do more Cabinet Card Journals. Cheers, ❤

[@robinmentzer7974]

Wow, Gayle you were a busy lady at your retreat. All your journals and ephemera are gorgeous. I quite liked the simple MM challenge pages, So glad you had a wonderful time at your retreat.

[@susanyarbrough30]

Love all of your paper purchases too. 49 and Market is one of my favorites, so now I want everything that you showed. I'll just tell my husband "blame Gayle!!" lol!! ❤

Welcome back! I can’t believe all you accomplished on your retreat! I am envious of your vintage market. The antiques mall near me has things like dishes and nicknacks. Some postcards.

Hi Gayle. I’m so glad you had fun at your retreat. I’m so hoping that this time I can catch when you put a journal up. I refuse to buy just any journal, but I definitely want one of yours. If I could have one in hand I think I would learn so much. So I’ll keep trying. Thanks for sharing. 😊❤

Gayle this video was awesome! I was looking for several tutorials that l saw in your journals which are beautiful! Which led me to a 3.3 minute video of yours from 4 years ago. It’s a folding pocket tutorial. It’s so simple and versatile using different sizes. I made smaller versions to play with. I think you should show it again. The folded front was embellished and it pops open to journal on. So cute and easy! So glad you had fun and a very productive retreat 🖐🏻🤗👍

[@lesliec9890]

Good morning! I’m so glad you had fun at the retreat❤. I remember, what we called Frito Pie, being sold at my brothers little league baseball games during the late sixties ,early seventies. As you can tell by the name, a bag of Fritos was used instead of Doritos. Have a great day! Leslie from The Woodlands, Texas.

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I didn’t think about it being made in the actual bag. I commented that her walking tacos sounded a lot like Frito pie which was Fritos chili and cheese although I think mine was always baked in the oven I don’t even remember. Now I want it.

[@lesliec9890]

Frito Pie was a concession stand staple at little league games. The chili was (of coarse) premade. The Frito bag was opened along the side, chili and grated cheese was spooned on top. A plastic spoon was provided for eating.

Bell bottoms with Bear Trap shoes or Famolare shoes. Being a short girl I liked those tall platform shoes. I hate shortening pants though and I have to shorten everything. I just got a pair of jeans that are petite or short and I still have to probably lop off 3 inches. It seems like the older I get, the shorter I get, and the shorter my inseam gets. I think I’m down to about a 24 1/2 inch inseam.

I am new to junk journaling and I heard you say you will have them on your site for sale on a 1st come basis. I completely understand. Because I am knew to this process, one of my hang-ups is not knowing where to get started. I decided I need one of your journals so I have some inspiration due to lack of imagination. I could use one of your journal for sample ideas and inspiration. I would like to know approx prices, and when they will be up for sale.
