A morning without your video, is like a morning without sunshine.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw, you’re so sweet, Marta! ❤️

[@delmorlan2747]

I totally agree Gayle is a beautiful ray of sunshine!💗🙏🌞

[@vespermartini2556]

@@delmorlan2747 I live in Florida and the sun is always shining, Gayle is the icing on the cake.

[@romeonoah7101]

you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother these days :)

[@ericamir6737]

@Romeo Noah Yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@jinxmestudio8380]

Your giggles make me so happy. I can watch your videos over and over. “Oh Mickey you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind! Hey Mickey.”🎶

[@juneribbons5196]

Can hardly believe this Christmas altered book is almost finished. Every page is beautiful

[@derrihanson9876]

My Aunt was just the opposite. She wrapped in whatever sack she got when she bought it. You are a Ray of Sunshine on a Snowy Day. Thank you for your giggles.

[@grimmmunro2279]

Love watching you craft,and listening to your conversation Gayle...like a little bit of sunshine,thank you.x

[@geenamarquez76]

I’ve been doing a Gayle-binge-a-thon. I love how this altered book is coming along!!! And OMG I laughed so hard at the beginning when you were trying to get that box open. I had to rewind and watch over again. Lol! I just LOVE watching you Gayle! You are one of the kindest people I’ve ever “met” and are just an absolute joy to watch!!! Your personality reminds me of my favorite aunt. Even your sense of humor and laugh🥰 Thank you for sharing your life and creative talents with us!! xxx

[@bettyalbrent7060]

I can't wait until I retire so I can watch you every day and craft with you 😊

[@laurahale5774]

This has been fun! Of course you make it that way. Thank you for sharing your talent and your JOY!

[@MsBuddy16]

Before I was struck with this paralysis I had started an altered book. After seeing this series I realize that I had no idea what I was doing! I think your videos should carry a rating of E/E......Educational and Entertaining! Watching you open that box was so fun. Your son sounds like a dear! Cherish every hug you get!

[@lindadoucet1431]

You have such a great sense of humor! I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

[@vickieb2917]

More beautiful pages, love that Santa on the last page. The book weight is a useful tool when crafting and a great present, lucky you. My neighbor has two Burmese Mountain dogs, they are wonderful, so friendly and cuddly.

[@jenlitscreations]

You make me smile so much. I have a son like yours and he makes me proud. Thanks for sharing

[@valo-raewells9079]

Love this so much and I am excited that you made a play list for this project. You are so fun to watch and hang out with. Please never stop

[@sharontilyard949]

Ohhh Gayle... You make my day brighter!!! Your Christmas Altered Book Journal is sooo fun and I love the addition of the Medieval Mirage papers!!! Enjoy your time with your son!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

[@lorigordon1970]

Your book is getting better every day. I love the medieval mirage papers. Cant wait to see the flip through. Hope your day is wonderful.

[@carolynchatham6338]

You make our days so much better with your outlook on life and being yourself which is a wonderful lady

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you dear friend! 😘❤️

[@creativespacejeannie279]

Ever day is my favorite page, but truly this is my very favorite layout. Thanks Shirley for helping Gayle out. Great gift for sure 🎁 Hugs Jeannie

[@starbucks0820]

Found the paper weight on Amazon!!! Thanks for all the neat ideas you give us for our journals. Really enjoy watching your KZbins.

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Thanks for the playlist, Gayle! You are so good to us! 😘😘😘

[@kathybaier1551]

I went to Dollar Tree last night and got a book, printed all kinds of digital kits that you are using. I even ordered the tearing ruler and Christmas stencils! I am so making one of these books for myself for this Christmas. I just love it!! It has been so much fun watching you put yours together. XOXO

[@billiejoethomason6075]

Where do they stencils come from ?

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

I love my morning time with you. I am so sad we are done with this altered book but I can watch it again as I work on mine. I really have learned so much from your videos and found so many great products and wonderful Etsy shops I would have never known about. Thanks for taking us along everyday on your creative projects and your life. I have a 38 year old son I adore but don’t get to see since he moved to Arizona with his little family, I miss him so much and your love for your son brought tears to my eyes and longing for my own son. Thanks for sharing that. Have a blessed day. 💖🌸💖

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

They are special those boys of ours! ❤️❤️

[@maryblackburn2782]

That was the best gift opening! I was chuckling with you. I enjoyed this altered book process. I learned so much! I have a beautiful book that I recently purchased but wasn’t sure what to do with it. Now I know! Thank you for sharing.

[@laurie7604]

You cover is so adorable! You're such an inspiration! Have fun with your Grandkids!

[@lauragaudry3402]

My favourite page so far! Gayle, you are always inspiring, thank you 😊Enjoy that son of yours! 🎄❤️🎄

[@tyna2154]

You are always such an inspiration. I like that you put the Christmas journal in a playlist I have my book ready just need your techniques. Hugs always -Thank you

[@nancyhand4512]

Absolutely. Makes my day complete. So talented.

[@janinebarash777]

I never get tired of watch you craft or talk. So happy I found your channel when I fractured my arm lol.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hope you’re healing up well!! ❤️

[@annettecolagrande3736]

You are making it very difficult for me to finish what I am currently working on! I bought 4 of Medieval Mirage's kits last week and have not printed them out because I knew that if I did these 3 journals that I am in the middle of would not get finished. Whoever ends up with this altered book you are making is going to be one lucky person, it is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!

[@wendyjackson5976]

Love the book weight from Peggy.....and another wonderful video.....I’ve been making some vintage style Christmas cards whilst watching you....thanks for keeping me company x

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

Wow, the album is stunning! I love seeing how it all gets done!

[@craftycat7212]

Absolutely love those pages. I really like the juxtaposition of Medieval Mirage and the Christmas ephemera. Thanks for the mention Gayle. Hugs, Amy💕😺

[@jbeaudi]

Two more beautiful pages and a fight with a cardboard box! This was a fun video!

[@thetwohappycrafters5904]

I'm loving this altered book series. Thank you x

This has become such a lovely book Gayle, looking forward to the complete flip-through 👌

[@mellik2522]

Fabulous pages! This journal is amazing. The lace reminds me of icicles hanging down, so pretty!

[@lindamorse1564]

I am so thrilled to have found your videos one of the things you have taught me is there are no mistakes just happy circumstances that lead down another path

[@crafterdeidra]

The pages turned out super cute as always. I worked on my altered Christmas junk journal book. It was alot of fun. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@lauretteluluchartier8513]

Well Gayle, I did notice that Santa is completely intact! Well done! Love the new book weight, so clever.

[@ssmaxwel]

I love the way you talk about your son. I believe the same of mine. Miss those hugs!

[@michelledekker7654]

OMG I wanted to get Yak tracks for my husband because he walks also. My friend laughed when I told her because no one I know has ever used them. Glad to hear your husband likes them. They are so practical!! Ok I'm binge watching to catch up. This book is so darn pretty. I love it and this is definitely my first therapy project. Perfect!!!! I'm excited about your stash and journal giveaway!!! Yay, your so kind and generous Gayle!!

[@starlaarts9385]

You have sooo inspired me to make my first Altered book journal. I went to the dollar store and thrift store for crafty goodies to start. 🙂

[@joannedonovan9489]

Gayle, you're such a hoot!! I almost fell out of my chair laughing at you trying to get that box open! But what's inside is really cool! I've never seen anything like that, but it makes perfect sense!! Love that Christmas Journal!! Just beautiful!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You are too funny! I was rolling on the floor with that box opening ;) It's easy to see you love what you do! Love your spirit Gayle! Pam :)

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much, Pam! Back attcha! 😘❤️

[@midgeberg22]

I’m one of those that watches on tv most of the time while I’m working on my journals. It just feels like I’m working with someone instead of by myself!

[@RockinStacy]

Gayle, I do not comment very often, however I watch every one of your videos. Besides being an inspiration from your crafting, you're my daily dose of enrichment. And please believe me when I say, that you are heaven sent! Hugs, Stacy

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Stacy, you have no idea how much your kind comment means to me! 😘❤️

[@RockinStacy]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thank you Gayle! You honestly don't know how much you mean for so many other's.

Your so fun Gayle thank you for being you!

[@lindadeconcini3678]

Thank you for making a special playlist for this project. Great ideas for me to use when I make my First altered journal. Love you. Wish I could meet you in person.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Love you back, sweetie! I have another playlist on an altered book that I did awhile ago that you might like if you haven’t seen it. 😁❤️

Good morning Gayle you are our morning cup of Sunshine🌞. Thank you for that. 💕

[@marilyntorsch3970]

I really enjoy starting my day with you Gayle. The giggles even make it more fun of course. Never laugh at you, you’re to precious, but definitely laugh and giggle with you. Wonderful way to start my day. Thank you for sharing 🤗

Love what you did today. Getting a new pet is so exciting. I look forward to meeting them. 😘💜💜

Peggy did right by you with that paperweight! 😆 I think this may be my favorite altered book I’ve seen you make, Gayle. Thank you for once again bringing a good laugh and joy into my day 💕

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Just loved the opening of the box of the weight. I so know what it’s like. And the weight is so cool. I think I will try to make a weight to use like you do. Maybe some fishing leads in a sewn bag? I sure like watching your process and all your chuckling!✌️🇨🇦🙏❤️

[@rondaclarke6991]

Once again you make a lovely journal.

[@megsgonnamake]

It is so sweet hearing you talk about your son..My son joined the U.S. Air Force and he has been gone since Oct 1. I am hoping to see him at Christmas time. He got to call one person 2 days ago and it was me that he decided to call. I was in the store bawling my eyes out yelling "I am so proud of you, my son..I love you so much...Are you getting enough to eat? I am gonna send you a care package with sox and t-shirts and underwear.." lol He laughed and said "Yup that's my mom" ...I love my boys sooo much ..all 4 of them!! ..You are the BEST, Gayle! xoxo

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

God bless you son! So grateful for his service! ❤️

[@megsgonnamake]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thank you, Gayle

[@lswanso]

I love how this journal is coming out. It’s so precious!

[@connieguentner3444]

THANK YOU PEGGY! Gayle you have no idea how many times I have watched you trying to put things on a page while trying to keep the book open. I kept telling you to put another book or something heavy to hold it open and you just ignore me. Made me so nervous, thank goodness Peggy fixed that problem...don't loose this tool!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Peggy’s got my back!! 😁❤️

[@travelingmntngal7963]

Great video! Love the last two pages you did in this one!!

[@maggieflatt9686]

Not only are you mylar packing challenged, but you are also box challenged. Great video. Such a gorgeous book.

[@cynthiahowell2381]

Love that lace. That weighted leather thing looks very handy. I Feel the same as you, your dog will find you.

[@cynthiamostacato7894]

The Medieval Mirage papers along with Tim Holtz ephemera went beautifully together. Love these pages and will sad when this ends.....cyndi m.

[@WoodlandInspired]

Wow that is a pretty neat gadget, the journals turned out awesome. Tyfs

[@kathyallgood128]

A new member of the family would be wonderful and spring is a great time. Please please before you go through a breeder check your local shelters there are so many fur babys that need homes. With that said which ever way you go you and hubby will make great fur baby parents. Love this journal. PS at the time I'm typing this we are adding a new fur baby to our home it's a three legged kitten.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

We’ve had many shelter pets in our life. We are, this time, getting the breed we want for this time of our lives. 🐶❤️

[@margaretcomella3318]

Always fun. I'm really loving this book!

[@noradunlap7539]

Love this layout too!! The lace made it!! TFS Gayle!! Blessings!! ❤️🥰

[@mylifewithfive]

Yes, Gayle, you do have to be smarter than the box! Lol I'm telling you, they are making packaging harder and harder to open all the time. Of course it was even funnier when you finally got the wrapper off but still couldn't open the box. I was cracking up. Loved the new page. It turned out beautiful and your new tool really did seem easier than the clips. I found one on Amazon. Thanks again.

[@LindaLap]

Hi Gayle I got a pair of boots from Pajar that have cleats that fold out for walking in ice. I have not had luck with the things your hubby is using. They break and are very slippery on tile floors. Oh and they were recking my rugs. Love spending time with your I do watch on the TV. I know how much comment mean. So glad you understand. Hugs

[@monanwright]

That is so pretty, I love that .

[@vespermartini2556]

LOL, no more binder clips, thanks Peggy 👏👏👏👏

[@erika3293]

Oh Gayle, you kill me. I was screaming for you to put the book weight horizontal over both pages to hold your place and finally you heard me. Hee, hee. This book is just so great. Love everything about it. TFS

[@cwsowell]

Beautiful pages today! But didn't expect anything less!

[@sharonlawler5834]

Thanks so much for making that playlist. I tried to figure out on my own how to do an altered book after watching 1 short video. It was a disaster. Watching these videos I have been able to see what I was doing wrong. To start with, I was using card stock weight papers so I already had an alligator after just 3 pages. All geared up to make a 2nd try and feel confident this time. So love your videos, you are an inspiration.

[@lalagamma4452]

A play last for this series is a great idea! 💕☮️🥰
