Beautiful bee journals, Gayle. Lots of energy and warmth in these designs!

[@maggieflatt9686]

These journals are gorgeous. And the ephemera I beautiful as well. Love these journals.

[@auntielaura5]

You mentioned the difficulty of keeping the days straight, and I sympathize! I temp’ed at a company for a couple of months where part of my job was to book travel to China. That shouldn’t have been a problem except that the travelers would arrive in China about 16 hours before they left the U.S. 😳 I kept screwing up their hotel reservations because I just couldn’t figure out which day was which. Needless to say, the job was not a success and I was thrilled when they didn’t ask me to stay on. 🤣🤣 I wouldn’t be able to keep track of dates episodes will air either. 😊❤️

[@kayrejones3071]

Loving the Bee Journal!

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Your cookin! I think Tracie Fox wallpaper hearts would be really cute with these kits too!

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Everything looks lovely in their journals! Such a wonderful way to get them done! Great job! 🌸🤗🌸

[@rcfarms]

Loving how your bee journals turned out. ❤️

[@heatherdoane1195]

Relaxing creating along with you Gayle. I’m working on a shabby chic wedding journal for a dear friend, for her son and new bride. I am trying to get lots of cards and tags made ahead now, as that usually is what bogs me down when I go to fill it! So glad you got lots of “grandma” time (albeit on screen) on the weekend. It keeps us going until we can see them in person again.🥰🇨🇦

[@shirlenedownie]

I love watching you craft. I I've been a suby for a while!

[@judylaughlin9867]

Bee Journals are coming out great! Have a Netflix short series (6 shows) for you to try - Scarlet and the Duke. It’s about the daughter of a retired police detective turned private detective, the father dies and Scarlet tries to take over the business. Set in the early 1900’s England, there is a resistance to have a woman in that business. She works with “Duke” the current police detective who worked with her father.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks for the recommendation! We’ll give it a watch after we finish our current series! ❤️

[@kathiclarke4238]

I watched it on PBS, I really enjoyed it

[@MakingMelodyCrafts]

These are beautiful! I love how you put so much thought into where you put the pockets. Oh, I looked up that movie, i think the young actor you mentioned was Christian Slater. I think we're gonna watch it this weekend! tfs

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes! Christian Slater! ❤️

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Love these journals so much!! They're so cute and the covers are beautiful. Off to the she shed to stuff pockets in the journal I'm working on. Have an awesome day!! 💜

[@matildamontgomery3229]

You are so inspirational- I just found out one of my cousin was diagnosed with cancer - so I will start a Christian journal or her...so while she goes through radiation treatments ...... she will find comfort and she can write in it. Thank You so much.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I’ll keep your cousin in my prayers, Matilda. 🙏❤️

[@margaretcomella3318]

These are sooo fun! Glad to hear destashing is going well🙂 I sure wish I had your energy & super efficient use of time! 😘

Goodmorning darlin! Been loving every one of your vids lately! Hugz sweetie

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Stephanie! ❤️

[@yagottasingwithsusan]

Love the bee journals. I’m trying to find some bee stuff. Off to Etsy 💕

[@CeriGriffiths]

Gayle......I think in the second bee journal when you glued in the wraparound ephemera piece you glued it around two pages instead of one. Might be worth checking. Ceri

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Since several folks have pointed that out, I’d better check! I’ll just make the page a big pocket if so. Whoopsadaisy! 🥴❤️

[@dianas.3185]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct thanks for the "fix" idea...I probably would have tried to take it apart and redo it. I love how there are never really any mistakes...just happy accidents that lead to new ideas.❤❤❤

[@debbiev.1311]

You're buzzing right along...TYFS!! 😊🐝❤ Oopsie Daisy...I think you may have glued 2 pages together when you attached the playing card tuck/pocket (over-the-page)...not sure if you meant to(?)😘 BIG HUGS to you!! 🤗🤗🤗 I'm so LOVIN' these bee journals...really like the addition of the honeycomb too!! 🤩

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh sheesh I’ll have to check. If so, I’ll make the whole page a pocket. Everything can be fixed right? 🥴❤️

[@debbiev.1311]

You got that right...only more creative opportunities!! ❤

[@carolrobinson930]

Oh my goodness Gayle, this is one of my favorites. love. Love love this BEE journal. Please let me know if it buzzes it’s way to your Etsy shop. Been watching your videos for a while, just enjoy watching and hanging out, such an inspiration! You are such a joy! Thanks for sharing.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Will do! When they are finished, I’ll do a flip through and list them afterwards. ❤️

[@shannonhuttemann115]

p.s. your hands and finger nails look just fine. They look and remind me of my grandma's hands. She is no longer with us so it's nice to have a reminder of what she looked like.

[@stephanieshepherd8476]

The honeycomb at 57 minutes would be beautiful as a little belly band where you can see clearly whatever you put in it. However I’m a newbie and don’t really know what I’m doing. I’ve made 4 journals in two and a half years. So it may be a dumb idea.hugz darlin

[@dianas.3185]

That's a great idea.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

It’s a great idea! I just don’t know if it’s sturdy enough to hold up. 🤔❤️

[@lucy7b]

Thank you, afternoon here.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Good afternoon, Lucy! ❤️

[@charlean_sherrod]

Hi Gayle, thanks for a great video... I think your nails look beautiful, I love the color, can you say what color it Is? Pink is always so pretty 🌸🌸🌸🌸 I just love how you can read to Buckie, that’s so sweet.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Sally Hansen’s Starlet! ❤️

[@charlean_sherrod]

Thanks Gayle, big hugs 💕

[@charlean_sherrod]

Gayle Agostinelli when I type in Starlet Sally Hanson it’s very Red ❤️, lol. What you were wearing was a frosted pink. 💕. Maybe they don’t make the pink any more.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

@@charlean_sherrod Oh gosh, I don’t know! I looked at the bottle and that’s what it said. ??? But it’s old nail polish, so there’s that. 🥴❤️

Can you let me know if I need to find another binder book other than gardening and cookbook. Oh, I’ll hunt anyway. Lol

Your good with what you have. 😉❤️

[@shannonhuttemann115]

Are you going to bee selling your bee journals? If so please let me know when. I'm fixing to do my kitchen in bee's and was thinking about making the journal a cookbook. For my family recipes 😁

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I will do a flip through video of both journals when they are finished and list them after that in my Etsy shop. Thanks for your interest! ❤️

[@beverlyjohnson9413]

Need advice! I just sold a prayer journal to a lady! Now she wants a sewing/quilting themed journal! She wants bright colors! Do I add coffee dyed papers in with bright pages? Do I ink and distress?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I always use coffee dyed whether bright or not, so yes to the coffee dyed. As far as inking, as you put together the journal, you’ll know if it look right and finished without and if not ink away! Or you could ask your customer what she prefers as far as ink goes. And congrats on the sale!! 🎉😁❤️

[@beverlyjohnson9413]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct thank you! She has ordered three more journals! Woohoo! 🎉

[@LynsAlteredArts]

I just watched a video from Amy at Crafty Cat today, she did some cute little sewing theme collages. you might want to check that one out for cute little things to add to your sewing quilting themed journal.

@@LynsAlteredArts thank you! I will!

[@debbieevans4813]

Is there one signature in this journal and how many pages??

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

One signature. I usually do 15 to 20 pages. There’s probably about 17 in this journal. ❤️

[@MaritMeijer]

Am I the only one who is screaming: “You put the over the page pocket on two pages in the second journal by accident Gayle!” 😬😅😘 loved the new video Gayle You are an inspiration for sure!!!💖

Everything can be fixed! I’ll show you what I did when I flip through them. ❤️
