A productive hour for sure. Just craft at your own speed. Always enjoy my Gayle time. Hugz

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Hi Gayle, so glad weather permitted y'all to have holiday fun with your children and grandkids! All of todays makes are super cute! TFS 😊

[@donnaswisher8408]

Hi Gayle. Love decorating. Another option to do with staples is to use a permanent marker to color them. (Do a row of them before putting into the stapler) TFS Hope you and Mike have a great day. 🌞

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Donna! Oh, that is a great idea!! ❤

[@donnaswisher8408]

@gayleagostinelli_ct Glad you like it. 😁

[@lalagamma4452]

Great challenge makes today. I have to make some of these floating pockets! I love everything about them. Gayle you do not rush. Geez some people! You are organized and work efficiently!! Your not busy continuously shoving things back out of your way, or pawing through the clutter trying to find scissors, glue, stamp pad etc etc. Just ignore those people and you do you. ❤ Playing card and board games are what family memories are made of. Have a Blessed day!

[@stacyjames-pr2lu]

I look forward to your videos every day. It is my relaxing time of day.

[@nancivessells1909]

Good job on your collage and great job on the ephemery. TFS

[@susanmoore5905]

I’m smiling here on the comment about you rushing. You’re organised, you know what you’re planning to do in the video, you’ve put pre-thought to your videos and your work space is organised so you reach or get whatever you need. That means you can get things done twice as fast!! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I can totally relate, I’m that sort of person as a pastors wife and all that I can do within the church and see done for one and all. Wishing you a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. Kind regards Susan W. Australia

Well said Susan😊

[@TK-cp5uv]

Gayle, I am laughing. I sometimes think Oh wow, Gayle is rushing a bit through that project. But then I remember, I watch all KZbin videos at 2x speed!!! Maybe that is where your comments are coming from too. Keep crafting at your own pace. Many thanks for my daily dose of inspiration.

[@krystalgoss2799]

I watch them like this too. It’s easy to return to certain sections if needed and I am able to pause or slow it down. I don’t usually have a problem with how people make their videos.

Good morning Gayle💞 Glad you all had a nice Thanksgiving and pie sounds yummy. We did make pies this year, hubby is diabetic and its to temping for him. Very productive day, loving all your wonderful makes. Finally got hubby to the heart doctor, he will need test done on his heart after the holidays. Today is his last work day, they let him use his vacation and sick day for the remainder so his final day will be January 29th. Hope today finds you both well, take good care. 🥰Big hugs

[@TwilaSue]

Good evening Gayle & Friends. Just remembered I forgot to finish watching! I giggled at your comment “Who am I fooling…” when you had the paper with the Japanese writing! Ya fooled me that you know which way it went! 😂😂😂 I’m late with my comments because I had a date with my daughter-in-law to watch the Hallmark movie with all the Chiefs stuff in it. Then got caught in traffic coming home. thankfully I had an easy meal to make in the freezer. I agree about the aesthetic - however, I do love the concept of marrying the 2 different pages so I have an idea how to make it work for me. Still always fun to see who you put your magic on things. Blessings to you and your family and all my friends.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Good evening Twila Sue! ❤

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Good morning my friend. I’ve been awake since 4:48. I made an effort to fall back to sleep, but gave up and am having coffee and breakfast with you; it’s still dark. I hope you had better sleep than I did. I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday. Love&hugs ❤

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Darcy! Sounds like an afternoon nap is in order for you! 😂. I did sleep well! Woke up at 7:00 and said aw, nah, and went back to sleep until 8:00! 😂❤

Hi Liz! ❤

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

My son’s family came home to their house smelling like gas and found their Golden Retriever had turned on the stove but not to lite. She had pulled down a glass pan of brownies, broke the glass, and ate all the brownies which must have included glass. I was shocked she didn’t get sick. She quite a rascal, and now they know she has to go in her crate whenever no one’s home. Luckily she likes being in her crate.

[@janiceroth2065]

These are so fun. I’m gonna have to give them a go. They will be so beautiful with flowers as an image. It is cold and we have a few feet of snow here in Chinook. Because I never have time to watch, I watch you on 1.5x, but that’s me. I love watching you, so will continue. No need to change anything. You are you and that’s why I love watching you. Some people will complain if there is money falling from the sky. I also love your shirt.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much, Janice! ❤

[@dianajackman7213]

The comment about rushing through your videos brought a smile to my face. I usually watch your videos on my phone at 1.75x. I am currently watching this video on my TV at regular speed. 😂 I am working on a project and at the present time wondering why you aren't as quick as usual. 😂 ❤

Hello Gayle, I really enjoyed watching you make the pockets, cool idea. You are, who you are, and that's just wonderful. And like you said, if you don't like me, why are you watching. Just to criticize, then shame on you. Keep on being you, who else is better qualified. Right!!!!!!!😊

So far behind on my favorite You Tubers I can never catch up. Crazy busy TGiving. Gayle, even with your busy life and yours and Mike's health issues, you almost always make me laugh. Your comment about the Chinese verbage: "Who am I fooling? I have no idea how it goes" 😂 really made me giggle. Sounds like you had a Hallmark TGiving with your beautiful family. I hosted 24 adults and 10 littles. My brother who lives in GA and his only child/son and his family of 6 who live in Wilmington, NC stayed several days with me. It was wonderful having them all but it was wonderful when they left too. 😂 I was exhausted. I know you were concerned about the dog but again I could just visualize the cartoon bubble above Alfie's shaking head, "hummm, you shouldn't be doing that" Geez, what a mess. Just another reason I have never had a pet. Love your digital post cards. Hugs and love, Gayle.

Awh, don't feel too bad Gayle, our 1 year old Cinnamon Poodle got into her own doggie birthday cookies and ate half a bag, she was so sick and we felt horrible because we should of known that she would do that lol but she felt better in 2 days and I honestly don't think she'd do it again but we put them up high now where she can't reach them. I learned my lesson because cleaning up after her for 2 days was disgusting, we both learned a hard lesson 😂 Great video. I hope you have a great day ❤

Hi Gayle! Just a quick note to catch you up on winter near Lake Huron... I've had snow and squalls every day since Black Friday, and it is now Wednesday: winter has come late this year, but with a vengeance! And as an aside, no you don't go too quickly. Maybe the complainers were trying to craft with you, in which case they could always watch more than once to catch the detail, or slow the playback by one speed. You do you! Hugs M.L.

My style is different to Rachel's, too, so I went down a slightly different track. Plus, I completely forgot about the glitter glue. 🥴 I used momigami on my week 49 MM collage as well.

Ok, I don't know if I can describe this right, but here goes...on the lace pieces you are gathering and gluing, could you gather the lace and somehow attach it with your rusty safety pins? You don't get to use them often and I thought that might be an opportunity to. IDK just and idea.

Great tip! Thanks! ❤

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I think a lot of people don’t know they can control the speed of the videos that they watch so the people that think you go too fast they can just slow you down. I don’t watch Gayle on 2X speed, but I watch a lot of other people on 2X speed because they just talk so slow. There’s a couple of people that talk so slow that they sound normal on 2X. Also, I listen fast. I watch one guy, a friend of mine was watching and said he talks too fast and I said I speed him up, you listen too slow.

BEWARE I WROTE A NOVEL!! Wether a project is in your comfort zone or not it's exquisite, I only hope to be half as good as you someday. Quote:""What if, today, we were grateful for everything?" -Charlie Brown. I apologize i think i may have been one of the Silly Willys who mentioned not doing to much. I think your rhythm is perfect. I only meant I knowweekends were going to be Mike and Gayle time. I also realize that FB, Etsy, coming up with new content for daily videos and your patreon you have so much on your plate. We've always said we'll be fine if we miss some. I remember when you had to miss some days and i watched older videos, it was fun. Now im a few fays late aa few dollars short. 😂 I never meant to insult you or be a Negative Nelly. The Mom in me worries about all the ones I really love. I'm so to be long winded, I'm emotional this month every yr. I try to bottle it in cause my one daughtes b'day is the sixth and the oldest is the 22nd. So when I uncork my emotions I overflow. 🙃Plain white Rice or skinless boiled chicken is good for the fur-babies upset tummy. My daughter was the field trainer for the entire state of Florida at Banfield veterinary. Sending Prayers and Positive Vibes to your loved ones especially Mike as always.I was thrilled to hear mike was well enough to go. I had a lovely Thanksgiving day and day after. My 2 daughters celebrated on different days, due to schedules. They made tons of vegetarian food for me too. My grandson was here from college. Yesterday my granddaughter from Seattle arrived with my little Julian and he's excited to tell Gampa, his b-day twin, that Mommy is baking him a baby sister.🥰 Namaste 🐞🦋🐞

Thank you, Lori! You write as much as you want anytime! No, no, my friend, your comment wasn’t one of them. They were specifically criticizing the speed at which I work…collaging or putting things together. I totally hear and appreciate your concern of me doing too much. It’s a struggle for me always! 😂.
