A Conversation with Cori Dahmen-Creating with Scraps!

As promised, a little chat with my pal, Cori Dahmen, while we were at my retreat! Please excuse the wind noise! The weather was perfect for crafting, but not so much for outdoor filming! I hope you enjoy getting to know Cori as much as I did! Thanks for watching! xoxo

I was selling at a craft show on Memorial Day so I'm watching on Wednesday morning. You two are some of my favorites! At the show I talked to several papercrafters and the enthusiasm was through the roof! They were excited to meet someone who was making and selling junk journals (me) and were eager to share which channels they watch and love. Enjoyed your conversation immensely! Thanks!

[@yagottasingwithsusan]

I absolutely love this video, it’s so nice to see the faces behind the channels. You lady’s are simply beautiful, inside and out 💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Susan! ❤️

[@CoriDahmen]

What a sweet thing to say. Thank you 😊

[@sweethingjess]

I agree Susan! We'll said!

[@loribreeuwsma]

I have to agree. Love the video, love seeing the faces and you lady's are awesome.

[@terricolberg4636]

OMG‼️🙏💚 Gayle and Cori together… amazing crafting ladies and great people! Love watching all your videos, so thank you ladies for sharing “your all”…to all of us and keeping us going in crafting land. Always remember, We really stick together, but never tacky! We work with sharp objects but always soft spoken. And most of all, our craft is mingled with love and prayers! God bless you for sharing 👌😉🙏💚‼️

[@jamiemueller1881]

Two of my favorite Creative Queens sitting side by side dishing on crafting. Bliss!

[@dawnklein106]

Thanks to both you, and Cori, for allowing us to be a small part of your retreat. Have a splendid time!

[@ericastannard2635]

Years ago, I lived in Pullman Washington & I was a beginner quilter back then. There was a large club with years & years of experience among the women who always had a retreat 2 times a year in a church camp up in the panhandle of Idaho, so not too far from where you must be! Those are some of my best memories & the creativity & energy that just flowed from being together was just incredible! Now I’m in in north-eastern Kansas, so a road trip from here would be a bit long! Seeing the wind blow your hair around & the gorgeous scenery surrounding you, even the camp chairs, took me right back 25 years! Thanks so much!

[@artzology]

Wonderful to see Cori Dahmen with you on video! Both of you are amazing! ♥

[@heatherdoane1195]

What an honour to see and listen to both of you wonderful ladies! I attended a one day crop on Saturday, and how fantastic to be back laughing, eating and creating with like-minded friends. If either or both of you ever get the chance to visit Canada, you would be welcomed with open arms! 🥰❤️🇨🇦

[@mariannespmmissouri1913]

thank you both so much! you are my top two favorite artists to follow. Love ya both! Could both of you show us all the things you made on the retreat when you get back home ? I know you do Gayle, but you too Cori, Please? you both inspire me so much!!!

[@nameissturdy1390]

Cori-that’s such a fantastic idea for the vets office. That really hit me. 😇 ❤️

[@CoriDahmen]

That situation melted my heart. What a horrible position to be in for that sweet family. I’m happy to contribute to such a worthwhile cause.

[@conniewalls6154]

How exciting to see you and Cori face to face and getting to know two of my “best friends”. The only thing that would have made it better, would have been there with all you wonderful creative ladies. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

[@kathyr1980]

I couldn't help but smile during this whole video. I wish I could attend a retreat like this. How inspiring! Thanks for sharing. I hope you took some more videos or pictures to show us. I can't wait to learn new things that came out of this retreat! 💖💖💖

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

So fun to see you and Cori in person! Hope you have a blessed time at the retreat. Thanks for taking the time to do this interview!! 💜

[@lalagamma4452]

Wonderful to watch and learn about Cory! You were so giddy like I'd be meeting you! Thanks for all you do for us!💞🐞❤️

[@sallymorch2076]

I agree, lovely to see the people behind the voice. You two are just how I pictured you. Your enthusiasm and love for everyone and all you do comes through.

[@catherinekelly8097]

Just add me to the list of fans and how much fun it was to see and join you “on retreat!” Getting a way for creating together is just the BEST. (Certainly more than the sum if parts! 😛)

[@LesliesCreativeStudio]

I think that there is nothing better than to share ideas with friends!! I am so excited you got to have a "conversation with Cori"!! There is something about crafters, makers, creators. Such giving souls. Education with caring!! I am so happy y'all are having fun!! Keep the creativity flowing and I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back to your homes!! Love you Gayle and Cori!! Always, Leslie

[@KippsKorner]

Fun conversation with Cori! Indeed, we all inspire each other! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@kathielemon9546]

This is everything I needed to see! Thank you Gayle and Cori, I was so hoping you would do a little video together. You are my two favorites and I have learned so much from both of you and this was the icing on the cake. 😊

[@katcapa2367]

Gayle You Are Amazing and I Thank You for doing this retreat . I watch Cori and now I have a new friend Eve. This is so special thanks for bringing us along. Kat

[@kaythomas9918]

What wonderful sweet ladies. It is fun to see the faces behind the voices I listen to on KZbin. Thanks for taking time out for us

[@sparklingbeautiful]

Good morning, What a wonderful segment...thank you so much for sharing. This is so exciting to watch and love the Gayle wear you both are wearing. One day I will be so happy to attend a retreat. Thanks again for sharing xoxo SparklingChar Happy Crafting (^.^)

[@rowenaroberts813]

Omg, I’m in awe. Gayle & Cori in the same video. What an absolute treat. If I was there, I’d be “Fan-Girling” right this minute. 😻

[@cherylsmith67]

Oh ladies, it’s so nice to see the faces that accompany those hands and voices. Wise advice as always!

[@joycrucitti6153]

What a great talk!!! So genuine!…..love the philosophy of sharing and passing on the love and appreciation of each person and their skills and talents!!! Thank you Gayle and Cori for taking time from your retreat!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰😘

[@samanthaheck9066]

This is so sweet and wonderful I’m so glad we got to see and hear you both.

[@donnalamberth4881]

Hello Ladies,I am faithful follower of both your channels. Love your ideas and kind thoughts. Thank you both and all the other wonderful people who share their ideas and talent. Both of you are very good teachers. I have only completed 1 journal so far. I'm very new very very new , So please keep the ideas flowing and chat coming, Gayle forget about all the people who make those awful comments, don't let them hurt your feelings. Other crafters have talked about some of these peple also. Some people are unhappy and don't want to be helped.They need more paper and glue. This is my first comment section so enough. Happy crafting . want to hear all about the retreat. Donna

[@-Lucy-H]

Gayle and Cori, as everyone has mentioned, so great to see the people behind the voices on KZbin 😊 have a wonderful time at your retreat 💕

[@amyhill7118]

How wonderful to see the great fun y’all are having. I wish I really could be a fly on the wall and see y’all in your creativity. Awesomeness.

[@shadowgirl815]

Such Beautiful Ladies...Thank you for sharing your love of crafting with all of us! Side note...I was praying a pinecone didn't fall from the tree with all that wind!

[@PaperInspirationsAU]

This was so lovely to wake up to this morning, to see both of you together and hanging out. You have both inspired me in more ways than you will ever know. Thank you for being YOU. Much love. xx

[@CoriDahmen]

Much love to you too, Sue💕

[@sunnydeborahsebastian1361]

You two are great!! Cori - I love your next fundraiser idea. And I love your philosophy in life. I’m always trying to spread kindness - daily. And to not forget ourselves. Gayle - you’re energy and sweetness just make it so pleasurable to watch your Chanel. Both of you are my “go-to” journal makers on KZbin.

[@deniseb-g3475]

Good morning Gayle 💜💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and Cori 💜

Oh Gayle, thank you, thank you, thank you for wearing your Gayle wear. It’s so pretty. A bonus, Cori had her’s on too. Sounds like you’re having a great time. Thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗

[@joannoble4093]

OOoh, so much fun. Thanks, Gayle and Cori.

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

Thank you both SO much for taking time out to make this video for us!! How awesome to see you!! 💙💙💙

[@sueataylor8754]

Loved your two Oprah moments with Cori and Eve. So glad you all had a great time together.

[@mixedmediaminnesota]

Sounds like you guys are having a blast! Enjoy!

[@auntielaura5]

So much fun seeing you both enjoy getting inspiration from everyone around you! Thanks for taking the time to film. I truly hope to see a similar video with you and Ceri the Crafter one day. 😁🥰. I love Cori’s fundraising! We all get such comfort from our pets, especially with such uncertainty and divisiveness in the world. The thought that anyone might have to choose between getting evicted from their home or getting life-saving treatment for their beloved pets breaks my heart. Love to you both!

[@teresastevens2084]

Gayle, this was a delightful treat! Thank you for sharing your time with Cori! ❤️

[@victoriabergesen6775]

Just loved seeing two of my favorite artists chatting together!

[@lindalawson6406]

What a wonderful surprise, so glad to see and hear both of you. Retreats are so inspiring. I am a fan of both of you and all that you share.

[@lorisheppard7125]

Beautiful conversation! Thank you!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Good morning beautiful ladies! I'm so enjoying watching you both have a chat. I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Gayle and Cori, it was so nice to see the faces of the crafters' I love to watch creating. TFS

[@patcarmody7592]

What an awesome video! Glad you didn't blow away girls!!! Cori, I hope you're feeling better! You will LOVE your Alaskan cruise. Be sure to do as many excursions as you can. You are an awesome person! Love your fundraising ideas. Gayle, you are a sweetheart! So kind and thoughtful!!!

[@JoAnn4gracenotperfectionm815]

Thank you for taking time to share your stories and retreat!! Can't wait to hear more. Both of you are lovely ladies in beautiful Gayle art-wear. Love that you both said that the journaling community is friendly and wants to share ideas with each other...no competition💕🐬sweet hugs for you both

[@rosemariewatz6741]

What a delightful surprise. I finally got to see Gayle after watching her videos for so long and only seeing her hands and occasionally the top of her head. I would give anything to have been able to attend one of your retreats. If we have them here, (I am in Australia), I don't know about them, but the one thing journalers all seem to have in common is the most caring natures you will ever find. That is obvious in Gayle and Cori (although I have only watched a few of her videos) seem the same. After having lived through the hardest year of my life, how lucky was I to have found the journalers who turned out to be the most compassionate, caring people. Much more so than my own family. I thank God for Gayle, Terre, Bettina, Lena, Helen and the list just goes on and on and that is only in the States. The rest of the world have their own special people who journal, even Australia. It is a phenomenon, that is all I can say. Gayle and Cori you are both beautiful women, I would love to see more of you on your videos and tutorials. Take care and God bless and love all of you for your kindness and care... Rose.

[@craftychickcathy]

So wonderful to see you girls again and together at a retreat. Have fun and I wish I was there with you.

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Loved this video! I think it is great to hear everyone’s journey and to be able to put faces with voices! Looking forward to the next video!

[@lotto4554]

This is so cool that you did this! Thank you both. I don’t think people realize you can do service through your journalling. I make 12 journals at a time for a battered women’s shelter. They give them blank notebooks to journal in so this gives those women a chance to experience junk journalling and find places to tuck little notes that are super private about what they are going through!

[@donnatolle1419]

Cori is just so lovely. She is quite comfortable in front of the camera. Great little chat. Thanks Gayle.

[@theposhmaniac5169]

What a terrific idea! Going to look into this for my local shelter. Thank you!

[@maggieweicht3312]

All I can say is thank you to both of you for sharing your amazing talents. Enjoy and bless you all. 🤗

[@susiemoore7226]

Hi Gayle and Cori..Looks and sounds like you gals are having great fellowship together and happy crafting..Thanks Gayle for sharing this fun video with us all.. Blessed and of course lots of fun and laughs!! You are greatly missed,but I'm so happy you are having this girl time.. Sending you hugs from Kentucky💙💙💙

[@thecrafteaneighbor5177]

Hey Gayle and Cori! What a lovely treat to SEE both of you lovely ladies this morning! Thank you for doing this, Gayle. It was so great to hear from both of you and also to hear the peaceful background sounds of Montana. I well know, from my visit to MT last summer, that it's a beautiful place to refresh your own unique creative genre and to be inspired by each others as well. Definitely a place where you feel like you are sitting in the palm of God's hand; the Master Creator. I'm excited to see how it affects the creative endeavors in both of your future videos. It definitely benefits us all! Enjoy the rest of your time there. Hugs to all! God bless! Sue ❤

[@freidagepner2370]

Loved this! Nice to have a face to go with your voice Cori. Gayle you should be able to do more of these because I love meeting others in our junk journal world. Blessings to us both

[@hollyjollyjunk7616]

I am so excited to see Cori (I am in Washington too!). I love when you do these retreat interviews!! Thank you Gayle

[@caroltanzi29]

Gayle: I think you interviewing other crafters is an excellent idea. It allows others to get to know them a bit better. Cori’s idea of using Etsy as a fundraiser venue is a super idea. I’m a city girl, but have been involved in many, many fundraisers and with my AKA, the Goddess of Garbage, who creates items from discards for the home, this could be an tool to use. You see,- just watching that segment, an idea came from it. Fabulous! Cori and I already have several things in common and I don’t really know her. Carol from California

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Cori’s idea is a great one, I’m going to have to ask my vet if he has any kind of fund for people that can’t afford treatment, my guess by knowing him for many years is that he does not. Maybe he’d be willing to start one.

[@kathmcmillen3217]

What a treat it is to "see" you both! You know I am a huge fan of both your channels. Have a great time at your retreat, wish I were there! Hugs....

[@nancymoore1275]

What a treat, two of my favorite crafters together on a holiday. Better than watching a parade 😊. So happy to hear about Cori’s fundraiser. One of our boys is nearing his end it’s so heart breaking, but the joy they bring is worth all the heartbreak at the end❤️ Thank you both for a lovely surprise on Memorial Day morning 🥰

[@CeriGriffiths]

Gayle, this was fabulous, thank you

[@prairiegirlcaeducator9376]

Thank you for sharing some of your retreat! It’s great to see you and to meet Cori. Enjoy your time creating and relaxing. Safe travels, too.

[@vintagestudio7175]

So fun to meet other crafters! I love this idea and thanks for taking the time! Also, very cool to meet a fellow Washingtonian!

[@jackielubeck]

Very nice that you do this… I wish everyone would have these talks and visits - would love to be a fly on your retreat wall!!!!

[@milliedk]

How wonderful to see and listen to you... You know, you KZbinrs sometimes say that it can be a fulltime job to do videos, but I tell you, it's becoming a fulltime job watching all you fab creatores in YT land (not really, but feels like it, can't keep up 🤭😂)! I love the idea of the mum with the dog being able to get help through the fond. I so agree, pets are just great. se have 2 dogs, 4 cats, 25 bunnies and 4 Icelandic horses (I breed bunnies and horses...). Wish I Gould come to one of your retreats one day,but it's a bit too far unfortunately 😬 Take care everyone 💖

[@barbarabass4235]

Love, love, love this video! I have followed Cori for a while now and really have learned a lot from her. You know Gayle, I have been following you too and to see both of you together was a real treat. Thanks for such a “warm fuzzy” conversation. Thank you both for all the education and entertainment you provide. You really help to keep my crafting perking along. I could identify with your windy situation as I’m about to blow off my hill in windy west Michigan.

[@beverlyculbertson4188]

This filled up my love tank to overflowing! What fabulous women you are❤️
