Finally a craft room that looks like a REAL craft room! Stuffed to the gills with supplies, mis-matched storage that was clearly added as you went, lots of pretties that you’ve made that you like to look at, and tons of unfinished stuff! I love it! Thanks so much for keeping it real and not magazine-style!

[@CraftsBayou]

That’s what makes me super happy about it too! ❤

[@jenndotson6718]

I’m so green with envy! The perimeter of my bedroom is my “current” junk journal crafting/storage area. It is complete insanity. 😂

[@CarolMcCracken-r8g]

Boy what a great room of fun. I’d rather see handle down furniture every day than prefect all white painted stuff! The stories and love of old warms my heart? Thank you for sharing. ❤❤

[@beckyreynolds273]

I think this room is glorious! You need it for all you do. But even if you didn’t make lots of videos and help the rest of us, it’s nobodies business if your whole house is filled with crafting supplies. I love it. You go, girl!

[@suzannefred1937]

❤

[@kimberlywalker280]

I TOTALLY AGREE!😀

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

What an amazing Art, creative, well organized creative space! How wonderful! ❤️🦋❤️🦋

[@coreybartkuscole444]

Gayle! Get ready for positivity here!! Thanks a million for taking the time to film your rearranged craft room!! I can tell this space is so personal to you and that it gives you so much joy. It is an act of bravery to share as much as you do and I truly appreciate all the inspiration you’ve ever given me. Thank you, thank you, thank you! With love, Corey.❤❤❤

[@barblydell9800]

It’s not your “job” but it is your life’s work and a very satisfying career - you’re an artist, a teacher, a role model and a dear friend to so many of us! Thanks for all you do and may you continue bringing us inspiration for years and years to come! ❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Barb! ❤️

[@marciagainey5155]

Gayle, thanks for the tour! You have what I like to call “Organized Chaos”. Yes, you have a ton of stuff. But it is your stuff and you have a purpose for everything in your craft room. You know what is in each area and each container. The containers don’t match because they were acquired over time - as you needed them. What really matters is that this works for you and when it ceases to work, you’ll do something different! I appreciate the fact that your craft room is for crafting - not being a photo layout in a craft magazine. It also gives hope to the rest of us who do not have thousands of dollars to spend on a specialized space for a hobby. You are doing more than a hobby - it is your job. But it still works for you because you know where to find things and sort out new things that come into the room. So thanks again for reaffirming that a chaotic, eclectic bunch of art and craft materials CAN be contained and tamed. I pity the fools who have anything mean to say to you because we need more people like you. We need more kindness and the gentle, sweet messages you bring along with your art lessons. Hugs! 🥰

[@donnabrown4195]

I’m always amazed by what we crafters acquire over our life. Then a non crafter friend comes along and makes you feel like a hoarder. Lol. Your craft room is beautiful Gayle. You have worked hard for what you have and deserve it all. Love you!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Love you, Donna! ❤️

[@candaceestrada5744]

lol. That’s SO true!! I am known to my family as a hoarder and I still feel like I need more!! Glad to be apart of a community that understands me!!

[@jenniferlarsonjaylaplans]

Completely agree, a girlfriend came over and I had to get something from the craft room and she was like this would drive me nuts so much stuff. I have been crafting since I was a kid and I think my room is pretty organized. It wasn’t meant to be but it was hurtful. She’s not a crafter so will never understand keeping supplies

[@candaceestrada5744]

@@jenniferlarsonjaylaplans I WISH I would have kept everything I wanted to keep as I kid. I was trying to hoard things before I knew what I wanted it for. I just loved (and still do) everything paper and books.

[@uniquewhimsy622]

@@candaceestrada5744 yeah I had the cutest stamps of vintage animals as a kid. Wish I kept them! Now we know better--never get rid of anything crafty.

[@anne-marie5197]

My husband walked by while I was watching this. He paused for a few minutes then asked, do I need to clean out more of the basement for you? 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@janicestevens8469]

He’s a keeper!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Love it! 😂. Hope he does! ❤️

[@darnicenixon6041]

So funny. My husband, Mike, came by my area and asked if I was watching Gayle. LOL he knows the name of the crafters I watch. I have taken over our dining room area and he even gave my baker's rack back to me for storage. He even volunteered to move more of his items over to his area in the living room for me. I think 🤔 I will keep him. Wonderful craft room tour! I loved every minute of it!! 😊

[@henrietta9206]

Anne, say "yes"! lol

[@sharonskains5049]

I am in awe of your orgazination, and the fact that you even accomplished a flip of everything. As far as content and space, not many small businesses could ever exist in the space you have. I am so happy that you have the availability of many things to chose from to entertain me, and that you are generous enough to share it. That said, you can have anything you want. Don't let envious people make you feel bad about it. You aren't hoarding it; you share it through videos, give aways, and offerings to friends at your retreats. It's like criticizing the Easter Bunny for having lots of dyes and candy and plastic eggs. You can't share what you don't have.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks Sharon! I just love the Easter bunny analogy! 🐰❤️

[@buddymycatbychristyolesen1993]

It’s a great room to spark creativity. I have a challenge for you: Forgotten Tub Tuesday. Pull out a tub in your room and make 10 embellishments from the contents.

[@lauragaudry3402]

I remember you working in the tiny space and wondering how you managed. Well, all this time later you have the space you deserve! 😊. Gayle, you are so generous with your time and the support of other. Thank you. Enjoy your new rearranged space. I look forward to seeing what creative magic you produce from it. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦🎄

[@missourimonica]

I love this! You have it so organized!! People who do not craft don't "get it" and never stop to realize that most crafters are also very frugal! So our "treasures" tend to be acquired over time and therefore when you have a space for "vintage papers" or ribbon, and you come across an estate sale or you find out a designer is no longer going to be making a specific product it is absolutely necessary to scoop up the items - then the space you had may not be big enough for your newly acquired goodies. I no longer invite people into see my crafting area unless they are crafters. I have had TOO many people say to me "You have TOO MUCH crap (not the actual word used lol)" and I just smile because those are the same people who are gifted albums and journals made by me and love them. Your space is glorious and I wish you an abundance of inspired hours creating and enjoying the goodies you have. Hugs!

[@loisyoung4662]

Oh my word!!! I absolutely LOVE your room!!! I live in a small one bedroom apartment, which I think is just about the size of your craft room! Lol Just this morning, before watching this video, I was thinking "I need a new mattress and dont need a full size bed. I'm going to get a twin....more room for my crafts!! Yay!! 🤣🤣 I've taken over my livingroom, half my bedroom and closet (plus the linen closet that's in my room) and soon my 5x6 storage closet 😊 My best friend, who passed away this July, introduced me to the love of junk journaling. She gave me all of her junk journaling supplies (and believe me when I tell you it was van loads), her printer and laptop!! I have been so blessed!! I am still working on organizing it all!! You are such a sweet lady, Gayle!! Who cares what anyone says....maybe they're a little green with envy?? 😘😊

[@helenjohnson9066]

Oh Gayle what an amazing and beautiful "crafting paradise"!! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us all the wonderful treasures you have. You deserve all the blessings you get as you constantly bless all your subbies with your kindness and unselfish sharing of your talents. I for one am very grateful for all that you do and all that you share.

[@cindycarmichael9768]

First of all, thank you for being so gracious and letting us all visit with you in your most inspiring work-shop! It is like Santas' area with all the generous and giving work you complete! Also I apologize for any churlish remarks you get from, envious girls! I have been feeling (blah) lately about my craft-making, but I got some cool ideas from you and enjoyed "vicariously", all your goodies! Keep up your uplifting spirit!🤗👍👏🥰

[@lorlor2831]

I love your room. I have to see all my stuff too. The other day my son came into my craft space and noticed I have some used tea bags, still with tea in them. He was like,MOM! Why do you have gross used tea bags? Hahaha… we keep what we keep I guess. 😂

[@uniquelyella4381]

Thank you Gayle for all those inspiring videos you do to share your art and inspire us all. I love your studio, you are so organized. I love that you label all your storage bin. I'm also loving your grand babies gallery wall and that you have an art piece for each of them, so sweet. Many blessings to you and yours, Marlene

[@rosesherman3965]

What an awesome job you did with your craft room! I love it! As Timmy would say Gayle, you do you. Don't worry about what others says. You have a warm and practical working space that you enjoy. Every girl's dream space. Wishing you many, many more years of inspiration in your lovely crafting area.

[@lorywestby311]

Lovely room!! Great organization.....can't believe you know where everything goes!!! Your house...your space...You do you!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@lalagamma4452]

This is the third Craft Room Tour, each time I think it's perfect, but it gets better and better. I like a functional Studio. Fancy art rooms can't be messed up and don't look fun. Gayle please don't apologize or request that the Negative Nellie's to be nice. Just block and delete them. What a beautiful creative space!! You are the ONLY artist I try to keep up with daily. You are really Sweet, Honest and extremely good at what you do. I can learn, have fun and feel like I'm visiting all the while. You keep doing you, your great! 🐞❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, dear Lori! You’re a treasure, my friend! ❤️

[@karrygeisler1117]

I love the new set up. It looks quite homey and comfortable. I’m sure you really love being under the window. I’m very sad that you had to apologize for your space, I hate it when people are so unkind and basically jealous of what you have. You have worked your whole life for what you have in your retirement. It’s no different than a vacation house or an RV. We all have things that bring us joy and fulfill our destinies. Social media has unfortunately enable people to be totally unaccountable for their words, which I feel is very unfortunate. So, enjoy your space, enjoy your blessing, you are loved and appreciated by thousands and pooh on the naysayers, they are making their own life miserable by their own words. We reap what we sow. Hugs and much love! ❤️🥰😊

[@aksnowhog]

Amazing room!!!! Amazing Video! Ignore the haters, they're just jealous! We all love you! Thanks for all you do, and for all the sharing! HUGE HUGS!

[@hollyhalseth6805]

You don’t have to defend yourself for your craft supplies ! This is amazing… I thought I had a lot because I also have done everything craft under the son the inherited my best friends stash last year when she passed…but I see I’m still minor league! Lol! All crafters love supplies and new products, collecting them is a hobby in itself 😅 thanks for sharing it’s fun to see what other peoples storage looks like!

[@tammywilliams5006]

Hey Gayle 😀 don't belittle your current occupation! It is a job that you are lucky enough to love, but you work super hard at sharing what you love with everyone and it's FREE!!! Thank you for not just posting on a subscription based site, 💕 I'm sure you wouldn't have to deal with the haters on such a platform but I wouldn't get to be with you every day. Your place of business/craft room is wonderful and I find it kinda comforting that you have so much stuff; you won't be running out of supplies. Thank You for sharing your crafting world, your heart and soul, your talents, your stories,your family, and your friends. You are loved!! BYTFF😍😍💖💖

[@learningkeys21]

Gayle, you are lucky, but ALSO clever, thrifty, creative, wise and kind. As many of us know, you have been an artist for many years, and I for one identify with the desire for options and my interest in many crafts since I was a child. I have a button collection I’ve drug around since I was in high school - almost 50 years! I’ve worked with Beads, yarn, paints of all kinds, fabrics, trims, old books, jewelry bits, scrapbooking, puppet making , dollhouse miniatures... and now gelli plates and book making materials. So, my friend, I know it’s hard for some people to comprehend! Your biggest luck factor is your Mike, cause not everyone has someone like that who understands our need to create :) Look forward to every video and appreciate you all the time. Laurie

[@CeriGriffiths]

❤ so proud you were brave enough to accept change. Congratulations.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks for the idea, Ceri! I’m loving it! It works so well for me. You’re the best, my friend! ❤️

[@marylocke8185]

Gayle, Don’t apologize for what works for you. Personally I think your room is well organized and thoughtfully put together. When people see my space with all the goodies stashed to the ceiling (small room & best use of space)I often get comments like do you really need all that “stuff”. But like you my stash is a life time of crafting many different type of crafts. Anyway I love your space and thank you for sharing. I watch every day however I rarely comment but know that I truly appreciate the effort and work it takes to do what you do! Take good care and have a blessed day! Thanks & Hugs🙂

[@peggydid]

Gail. you are awesome! In what you do for us, and in all this organization! I need you to come and help me! You deserve all nice comments! Thank you for sharing your space ideas and art with us! Hugs! Peggy

[@karenbookout3487]

Gayle you have a wonderful space and did a great job getting it rearranged. You work extremely hard to provide content for us and I for one am extremely grateful! Thank you and enjoy your space … you’ve earned it ❤️

[@suebraun1431]

You’re awesome Gayle. Your room looks so useable. This is your job so I don’t think you need to justify anything you have to do that job. Thanks for taking us along everyday on your craft life and inspiring me to get crafting 😊

[@christinecrow1410]

I love your room, Gayle. It's a craft girls dream. Don't let the haters get to you. You do you!

[@kendallsue259]

This room is a crafter’s DREAM!!!! 😍😍😍

[@juliasstampinstudio]

Lovely craft room. If anyone has crafted for long they have a version of your craft room. I love your projects and thanks for sharing so much with all of us.

[@mftmaine]

Gayle, you don’t need to ever apologize for the amount of supplies that you have carefully curated. I have always had a love of all things paper and I have to admit that even though I have an abundance of paper ,you win! I truly have paper envy! I had to go get a towel to catch the drool! Seriously, I love you and your videos. Just keep being the wonderful you and we will all continue to admire your beautiful creations, and will be talking amongst ourselves.

[@lizcheyne3161]

For Pete’s sake. It’s your house, your “job.” And no one’s business but yours. I love your craft room. I am jealous of the fireplace though. 😂

[@mariakristinaengen3215]

What a wonderful place you have! 💜

[@creativemomentswithdurinda]

Hi Gayle...wow..great studio...so many yummy goodies. You don't have to justify a thing girl. We are all collectors...and honestly people love these videos for ideas on storage...organizing and it makes us feel better about our own collections..haha And you also have had a lot of things sent to you. You help promote a lot of people. Thanks so much for letting us into your creative space. Love and blessings..durinda 💜💜🤗🤗

[@LauraMe...]

It's been a while! I am impressed that you know where everything is! I am at the point where I need to purge. I am in awe of what you moved about in a short span of time, Gayle!!! Well done! When I say you are blessed I say it knowing the hours you put in, the years you've spent accumulating, and the wonderful and supportive Mike of the Cheesecakes! And you use your blessings to share with us every day. Don't hesitate to say it's your job. This is your business and it is successful. You are the go-to name in Junk Journals and that couldn't happen without your stuff! Love you my friend ❣

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Love you too, Laura! Thank you! ❤️

[@margaretpinsent6388]

Amazing! Why leave such a fab space empty anyhow?! You've put it to great use. I used to craft on our dining room table, with haha discreet 3-drawer stacks in one corner. Then we retired, moved north (in the UK) to a bigger house and I got the sunroom. I sometimes feel embarrassed that I am so lucky but, like you, I know it's a privilege and I'm grateful. You're an inspiration to me and to so many around the world, Gayle, and nobody can rain on your parade! Thank you for sharing your craft room, and for showing me some new ideas for keeping things tidy 🥰 big hugs Maggie x

[@kathielemon9546]

Just in this video you can see the difference of the light of where you are now compared to where you were. I think it’s just wonderful. Everyone has their own style and whether that translates to brand new made for craft room organizers or generationally loved furniture, both are great. I have a mix myself. I am drooling over that white cabinet with the red handles, my grandmother had one and I think she called it a Hoosier cabinet (?) and I didn’t have room for it when she passed but boy I wished I kept it. Thank you so much for the tour and can’t wait to see the video of your work space. 😊💕

[@sarahslone8598]

That room is amazing, looks like a store. No wonder you have Forgotten Friends Friday lol. That episode could last for ever. Even if you showed everything, because you would have to start over from forgetting again lol.

[@maryannparra7883]

Wow beautiful craft room. As a beginner crafter, I thank you for your videos, I see so many of your videos and I try some of your ideas, I love that you do so many different medias, so I choose what I i think I might like to try. I know you’ve been doing this a long time, so of course you have acquired a lot of supplies. Which I’m grateful for, and you are so kind and share wonderful stories about your life. God bless you, I’ve just retired and on a budget, but I see so many used for things I would have otherwise thrown away. Thank you Gayle, I find great joy in crafting because of you ❤

[@lesliesingh6772]

Thank you for sharing your space with us! It takes a long time to realize what you need versus just items that create noise. It looks like you are well on your way weeding out your noise. You have many beautiful vignettes and beautiful art on your walls. What a challenge to create so many videos! I so admire you! Blessings to you and all of your family. The grand baby wall is just the best!!!

[@aprilcarter749]

Beautiful craft room hopefully one day I will have a house with a spacious craft room for everything I love which is sewing & making journals. It’s pretty hard when you live in a apartment. My things are in different big storage tubs organized & like you I know where everything is placed when needed. Thanks for sharing your beautiful space ❤ 🥳💕

[@joannementor5943]

Hi, Gayle, I think what you do, and show is always beautiful, and I am sure is years of collecting so no one should hate on what they see I personally think everything is just beautiful and I thank you for showing.

[@cindyjanssen9021]

BEST craftroom video ever!!! It looks like mine(but bigger). My craftroom is my Happy Place..mine. My stuff. Where I want it. I get that same vibe from your video.💜

[@jonikennedy4147]

You continually amaze and astound your viewers! Thank you for opening your heart, home & drawers! Your transparency really tells us how you live your life--totally accessible, honest, & open-armed allowing everyone into your heart!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, Joni, for such a lovely comment! 🥰❤️

[@cyndisue2457]

Well done, Miss Gayle! A window next to our craft desk makes such a difference, doesn't it? Your room is a reflection of your very creative mind, and you are literally surrounded by the things that inspire you. Those of us who love to watch what you do and how you do it totally get that. The rest really do need to remember that sometimes being kind means keeping negative opinions to ourselves. Your talent, time & space to craft are God's gifts to you, and your sweet husband obviously supports all that you do, so 'nuff said! Thanks for the tour!

[@karibeilharz9374]

You are amazing. What you show, teach, and share everyday is greatly appreciated by so many. People will always find something to complain about, it is just part of life. Do not let them get you down. This is your passion and you share if with so many and I am thankful for that. I have learned so much from you. Thank you.

[@mixedmediaminnesota]

Amazing! I love your organization and your area is comfortable and cozy feeling. Thank you for sharing with us!❤

[@epross123]

I love your room! Don’t apologize for the things you have, you worked hard to get it and continue to work hard. I don’t think I have the right to be critical of what people have or how much money they have, how big their house is, etc. I am grateful for what I have, it may not look like much to some, but to me it is enough. Don’t let people make you feel bad for what the Lord has blessed you with, we all know that you are grateful for what you have and you are using the gifts God gave you. Thank you so much for all of the free content that you give us! I love your videos and I love you! God bless you and yours.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Love you too, Beth! Thank you for a lovely comment! ❤️

[@donnamurillo]

I love, love, love your craft room. It is put together perfectly. It has everything any crafter would need. Don't pay attention to the boo-hooers. They are only green with envy. God has only blessed you tremendously to help those of us who love to learn. Keep it up our crafting buddy. Big hug.

[@kandiboyer]

I love your craft room! I love your videos too, don't always comment, but I always watch and like. You are a true inspiration and you are constantly sharing your talent with us. Why wouldn't you have a big craft room filled with goodies? I mean really, if I could, I would and so would everyone else....so ignore any negative comments!

[@prairiegirlcaeducator9376]

Wow! I really like the change in your craft room. It looks more user-friendly and a brighter work space with the natural light from the window, too. Thank you for sharing.

[@doloresparra4604]

Hi Gayle! Wow, congratulations on your beautifully organized craft room, very impressive and very happy for you. Hugs from Mary

[@samanthaheck9066]

It looks so nice and cool. I just love your craft room. Never apologize for things you enjoy. We thank you for always being here. ❤

Extraordinary organization! And you know where everything is. Amazing!

[@kayk8123]

Yay Gayle!! I'm so glad that the new arrangement is a better fit for you. Thank you Ceri for the inspiration. We just have to do what works best and that for me at least evolves periodically. So, so happy for you! Do what you love, love what you do! 🤗❤

[@SharonHoerth]

Thanks for giving us a tour of your space. Craft room tours are my favorite! I love the ideas I get, but even more it is comforting somehow knowing what the space is like around a creator when I’m watching them. 💙

[@glittergrandma]

Wonderful! I love that you have an idea cupboard. Yum. I love your room. I love the great organization and beauty ! My heart is so happy to see your working craft room. Yum. Yum. Yum. Inspiration. I have decided that we crafters are awesome hunters and gathers. Inspiration and options. Yes I need that too. Thank you so much for the grand tour. Wonderful! The switch-er-roo is a great success. Thank you for your wonderful videos. It’s great to see where the magic happens. ❤❤❤. With love and appreciation ! Grateful to you for showing us the wonderful room. ❤❤❤

[@rowenaroberts813]

Woohoo! I just love your craft room and all your things. I know you are an artist working all day on your projects therefore the quantity you have is relative to the amount of projects in the works. Don’t let anyone tell you different….. This switch-a-roo would’ve been a nightmare to do, but look at the result! It’s amazing. Well done.😻💕👏🏼

[@cindymatthewsarrowdalearts6449]

Wow, I am so impressed with how you've used your space. Sure, it's bigger than my space, but I'm truly a hobbyist and now my craft room has been reduced in size because we moved our washer and dryer out of the basement to make life easier. Stairs are a complete miss for me, and they're getting harder for my husband to navigate while carrying things. So our guest room shares space with my "overflow". There are steps to the guest room as it's been converted from our enclosed back porch to a fully winterized suite complete with full bath. So now my hubs has to fetch the stuff I need from my reserves! :) Anyway, I hate that you find yourself having to apologize for having that kind of space for crafting. First, as you say, it's your job. 2nd, you've been collecting stuff for years and years and you use it all, one way and another. 3rd, it didn't come without a cost - you gave up your family room, which I'm sure didn't get a lot of use with just the two of you in the house, but when your kids are home, I'm sure it's missed. 4th, and this is something people without a dedicated craft space can't understand is how much work it is to maintain a hoard like we junk journalers keep! The more stuff we can get quick and easy access to, the better. So you just enjoy your space, keep doing what you do and let the haters do what they do. Hugs, Gayle!

[@catherinecarey4897]

Those magic words 'If I ever get time' 🤣🤣🤣But seriously ? six to eight hours a day - wow! all to create content for us. Gayle, you are AMAZING. Your studio is just awesome and I'm only 10 mins into the vid. Love seeing all your pretty things you have stashed in there. Love from UK

[@uniquewhimsy622]

I know I would kill for 6-8 hours a day to craft. I literally have no time while my precious craft room just sits patiently waiting for my creativity. 😭

[@sharonreading3630]

I have just watched your video on your new craft room! amazing! I think you are a wonderful, beautiful lady and watch you every single day. you are such an inspiration to all us crafters, thank you!

[@nancyjoclark5006]

I love your room! It works for you, and like you said, you know where things are. Anyone who has watched you for any length of time knows you really do use your stash! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@lisasexton7997]

Thanks for the tour. I think I could fill up the same amount of space. Love, love, love it!!!❤️❤️

[@tracytrumbley5649]

I love your craft room! I do way too many crafts for many years as well and my stuff has spilled out to every room! As I say to the haters- "I bought and paid for it - it's my stuff and I love it!" I only wish I could be as organized as you! Your room is wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

[@thecrafteaneighbor5177]

Hey Gayle, my friend! Girl, you've worked hard all your life, with family and jobs, and deserve every bit of what you have. You don't even have to have the excuse that this is your job. You are a fortified artist in your retirement and artists always have lots of fun stuff to work with. It's a fact. I have my own room full of stuff, too. Mainly thrifted. I can be really good at finding good stuff for crafting. So much so that my husband has said more than once that I need a bigger room. But I'm okay with where I'm at right now with it all. Anyway, you have just the right amount for you. It keeps you happy and feeling like you have purpose in your life. I saw a program not too long ago that seniors who are retired do need to have some kind of purpose to keep in fairly good health and also, frame of mind. So, I think it's great you have what you have and you give what you do in each video you do. It has brought lots of joy to my life and I think many others, too, considering the 60k+ subbies you have right now. And it just keeps growing. Don't even mind whatever those negative naysayers try to feed into your life. You just are never going to please everyone. Stay your positive self always! God bless you! Hugs! Sue ♥

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, my friend! ❤️

[@justred56]

I love your room but the most I love about room that you are like me. Not a single furniture matches. It’s perfect. It’s cozy it’s a real craft room. Enjoy your place! Thanks for sharing.😘❤️

[@joansensing8504]

You have a great craft room, I love it! Mine looks a lot like yours and I don’t even sell anything!! I always request craft supplies for my birthday, Christmas, etc. I love the paper and material supply, makes my room a happy place. Thank you for sharing your room!❣

[@jjournaldiva]

What a great space! I'd never leave this room. Wonderful place to do what you love!

[@ashleywiederholt8373]

Good Morning Gayle, I love the new layout! It felt like Christmas morning watching your video :) Thank you for taking the time to share with us

[@purplepoppy1965]

WOW ive seen smaller craft shops. Your sooo lucky to have such an awesome space

Thank you for the tour. I like it. Seems like the way you have it now will flow much better. Great suggestion from our friend Ceri. Ignore any negative comments if there are any, it's no one's business but yours (if any, they are just likely jealous) 😊 The majority of us totally understand and support you 100%. You are so very blessed with your craft room. Take care, I'll look forward to the workspace video in the future.

Great video (your camera was very steady). Room is functional and organised - you must be so pleased to have it all done.

Wow Gayle, awesome job🤗💕

[@michelkleban1645]

If MY STUFF, is not in eye view, I don't use it!! Good job Gayle.

[@tracytanasiychuk8253]

I’m sorry that people are not aways kind. I think in a perfect world we would all have a studio that matches our interests. Kudos to you for knowing where your supplies are. I have lost track of some of mine. I got some ideas from your work place that I hope to include in my studio. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

[@debbiesilver3549]

I’ve had a variety of craft spaces in different homes, and my number 1 “must have” is a window. I do think Ceri made a “good for the soul” suggestion that you may not even be aware of yet, but I bet you’ll never craft in a space away from a window again. Great working space, and my mind whirls with ideas of how to transfer your organization on a much (much much much) smaller scale. Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@lorraineanderson5467]

How great is this!!! I love the eclectic pieces, and your confidence that “I know where everything is.” I have a craft “half” room, it is pretty organized and labeled, and I STILL can’t remember where everything is🤷🏻‍♀️. But yours looks so comfortable, and I can see how you would be inspired every day to create. Great job on a massive reorganization! You’re awesome!

[@halleshobbies]

Thanks for showing your new setup. It seems very functional. What a blessing to have the time, space, ideas and a husband that cooks! Lol I look forward to the time when I can quit my day job again so I can craft and blog full-time again.

[@loripinard3280]

Gayle, omgosh what a fun craft room!! and truly a working craft room! thank you for sharing. my favorite part is that grandbaby wall!!!! love each mm canvas for each sweety-pie!!

[@justjudycrafting7401]

You do have a lot of stuff. But it’s nobody’s business but yours and your husband’s. You enjoy the heck out of it and I will be here watching you enjoy it.

[@MinxysStudioUK]

I do really enjoy your craft room tours Gayle 😊 My studio is about the size of your original craft space (now storage area) so seeing all the different ways you organised that small space over the years has given me tonnes of inspiration when it comes to redoing my own work space. Switching your desk over into the huge storage area and moving your storage to where your desk used to be was a great idea from Ceri (he's such a wise soul) it makes way more sense to have a larger space to work in rather than being cramped up in that corner!! I also really love how your room is just made up of anything and everything when it comes to storage. Recycle everything you can get your hands on and turn it into storage! It adds colour and character to your room that really suits your colourful character that we all love so much 😘💖 xoxo

[@margaretcomella3318]

Seriously?! People make hurtful comments about this kind of video?! Geesh! Anyway Dear...it looks FANTASTIC!! You've really worked hard! And I'm glad you feel more relaxed in there too! Thanks for the tour!! 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️

[@wendyloomes5728]

Was looking forward to this tour the switch up makes perfect sense . Love it ❤️

[@Desertbearsangel]

Gayle I am so happy that you have a space that makes the work(actually play) you share with us easier, calmer, happier and absolutely amazing! Anyone that says anything critical is jealous. No fear, we who love you and support you outnumber the others by leaps and bounds!!!! Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us. You are so inspiring. Love and gentle bear hugs xx

[@nancymoore1275]

I just can’t imagine anyone having negative comments. I aspire to be as organized as you are. I would get so much more done if I was organized. It almost like losing weight, I get tired of hearing myself say I need to organize my craft room 🙄. Thank you so much for always sharing your art and art creation center 😊

[@canncreates721]

I've only just found your channel recently after finding Ceri's channel. I loved your craft room! It looked like a warm, comforting and happy place to spend time in. I have always had a love of paper and it's infinite variety so I know that well organized paper piles take room to breathe and be accessible when inspiration strikes. Also, absolutely loved the grandkids pictures and art pieces for each going down the stairs - so cool!

[@katrineleber7238]

Wow! You have done it again. It’s wonderful! Hugs, treen 💕💕💕💕

[@JulieBirdL]

Thank you Gayle for opening your doors and inviting us into your creative space!!! You’re very generous and kind to do so!! Can’t imagine why there would be any unkind comments but that’s always a possibility I suppose. That’s all the more reason why I admire and appreciate your bravery for putting yourself out there everyday for our pleasure! Thank you!!! ( and those grandbabies are precious!)

[@cheryl7476]

So nice to see where you go, when you tell us to, “talk amongst ourselves.” Such a wonderful and practical play space. Wanna come to Maine and help me organize my art room? We’ll make sure that you see many beautiful places.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

What fun that would be!! ❤️

[@LauraMe...]

Ooh ooh, we can make it a two-for-one and she can help me too! I have a nephew in-law who is a lobster 🦞 fisherman. 🙂 Mike can make a cheesecake...

[@PaperPlaywithJulieK]

I love your craft room. Thanks so much for sharing it with us and sharing some very functional ways to organize our supplies.

[@terrytarr5531]

Gosh, Gayle- I haven't even got a 3rd way through this video, but I had to pause and let you know that your work and effort that you put into this love and passion for this art is truly amazing! I struggle to put into words as I appreciate the years of dedication, expense and time you spend to share with us every day what you love and what inspires us around the world to just "do it", means so much to me. Thank you for your inspiration and dedication. Thank you for the gift you share

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you Terry! ❤️

[@cfeaston1602]

Hi Gayle! I love your craftroom video tour! It is amazing how organized you are with the large inventory you have! Your space is extremely organized, creative, colorful, thoughtful and full of sentimentality of family and friends! Wishing you many more years of joy in your happy place!! You are such an inspiration to so many! Thank you for the hours you devote to sharing your creative joy with us. You always make me smile! Blessings, Colleen

[@anglsnyder7250]

Your treasures are wonderful, no apologies needed. I’m so grateful you share it all with us. 😇💕

[@heatherparry3159]

What a great space! Love your reorganized craft room.

[@rankinstudios5342]

Your room looks like fun to work in. You never have to apologize or justify how many supplies you have, Gayle. You work hard and have earned everything you have. It's time-consuming to go to estate sales and thrift stores. And filming every day is hard work even if it is fun. It brings you joy and you share that joy with us so freely. Thank you for sharing this space with us!

[@sharonparrish2981]

Thanks for sharing. You are so lucky to have an understanding husband. My husband hates my craft area in the basement. I don't have nearly the amount you have, but i have plenty. LOL

[@amychuck2357]

Your room looks great Gayle! And to be able to sit under the window….lovely!❤
