Forgotten Friends Friday! Idea Books Reorganization!

[@lucy7b]

❤❤❤ good morning Gayle.

[@belindazimmer2107]

Such an informative and lovely video. So many talented crafters and it was such fun seeing all the variations of ephemera and page options for journals. Thank you for taking me on this little walk down memory lane with you. I adored so many of the creations in your idea books. Take care and happy crafting!

[@kathyude9457]

This was really fun to look thru these!

[@My_Crafty_Hands]

Thanks!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, dear one!! ❤

[@lorisullivan9610]

Oh Gayle! You are so kind! You always make me feel so good! I am working on some more Readers Digest journals right now! They will be in my Etsy shop soon!

[@donnaquick5173]

This was fun. I do remember some of them. ❤

[@visualisednz]

Of course we want to make those wondrous things, but this video was incredible. A fairyland of inspiration to get our creative brains racing. Absolutely thrilled to have gotten a better peek at your books. Thank you, Gayle. ❤ Belinda xxx

[@donadeam2313]

I love your idea books. They are so full of happy ideas. I’m glad you are going to make some of the ideas with us. I was trying to keep track of my favorites but there were so many, I lost track. Hugs

[@evelynloya1266]

I have idea books too. It helps storing great ideas. I have started a new book, one in a three ring binder which is so much easier to organize by ideas. ❤

[@hollymoses8197]

Hi Gayle, have you thought of using a traveler style journal to store your signature paper ideas? You could adjust it to meet your needs and easy to add or take out, just an idea😊 Still loving my daily dose of Gayle, thanks for sharing!

[@joeycardmaker]

Oh Gayle 😃 this was like a trip down Memory Lane, so many treasures. You could visit any of these books and select a 'Forgotten Friends Friday' project. You are a wonder - Big Hug ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@freidagepner2370]

I so loved seeing all the ideas. Wow what a memory time capsule of making ephemera. Lovely video. Have a wonderful weekend🥰

[@donitamoore9748]

What fun this was! I kept finding myself saying ‘oh I remember when Gayle made that’ over and over. 😂 Have a Blessed day!

[@GingerUrban-f3z]

Good morning girlfriend 🌅🌅🌅. One word--WOW---😮😮😮. These journals are absolutely amazingly awesome.💕💕💕 So now as soon as I finish the prayer journal for my friend guess what I'll be doing!?!?! Making idea journals. Right now I only have idea notes in a folder 📂📂📂 I especially love the page edge idea journal. I really like having an journal for each different subject. I love having you in my journaling life. I have learned so much. I love each and every video and wake up every morning with my brain telling me to get a Diet Dr. Pepper, sit on my sofa with Gertie and watch you on KZbin 😅😅😅. Such a great way to start my day!!! 😆😆😆 Thanks so much for sharing these amazing idea journals 👍👍👍

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Good morning, sweet friend! Thank you so much! ❤

[@patbrez3079]

Good Evening Gayle, love the idea books and I remember some of them. So many creative JJ out there. Have a great evening and weekend too! 👍🌻🌻🌻🐇

Good evening Pat! ❤

[@Maggiesplace48]

Wow so many fabulous ideas Gayle, thank you so much for your lovely video and idea's...Kia Kaha Stay Strong...❤

[@reneebarger5194]

Sorry I’m late Gayle. I was getting carried away making making paper fairy doll clothes for my grand daughter. Wish I could make idea books like this but I am a bit short on material. But I draw diagrams & write notes in my book. I’m going to have to watch this video many times. Thanks so much 😅

[@My_Crafty_Hands]

You are teasing us with these book flips. It’s all the things we’ve done and all the things we can do! Love it. 😊

[@DeniseS-6867]

Loved seeing all the idea books💙🪻🩷

[@TwilaSue]

Good morning Gayle & friends! Today felt like all your crafty friends are my friends too as you walked through each item and recalled them so fondly. Definitely blessing counting worthy. Of course the YT Crew wants you to make some of them! We are kinda needy like that my friend.😂😂😂 Seriously every day is a blessing with you and all the kind folks who leave such kind comments and support one another even though we have never met in person. It touches my heart everyday to read their comments and hear the excitement in your voice as you create with us! All those ideas are just amazing. Thank you for being you and sharing your time with us. Love, hugs and blessings to you & the YT Crew!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Twila Sue! ❤

[@reneebarger5194]

Right on TwilaSue! Hope you are having a good weekend.

[@barbarawafer94]

Hi Gayle. Your idea books are fantastic! I love seeing all of the fabulous things you have made. You are so smart to keep journals with all of them so you can recreate things. I need to start doing this! Thank you for sharing all of your fun things with us! 💜

[@karens-h9124]

Good Morning Gayle! I’m sooo jealous of the folks who will have access to your idea journals at your retreat! I would spend several days making as many of these ideas to take back home with me! Please have a few days making some of these great ideas! Have a wonderful day!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

[@donnatolle1419]

Good morning dear Gayle. Catching up on a few videos, having coffee AND Rice Krispies treats (thats healthy, right?) 😅. It's 3:30 in the AM. It seems many of us over 60 have difficulty sleeping, especially women. 😢 I just love those idea books, Gayle. Your retreat friends will LOVE flipping through those. It is just so easy to forget even the simpliest things. If you make a lot of journals as you do, it is nice to incorporate new ideas. Keeps you motivated and interested in your project and exciting for the lucky folks that end up with your journals. Making forgotten ephemera could certainly be a forgotten friend as well. ❤ Hugs, love and wishes for both you and Mike and wishing you a wonderful summer.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning Donna! ❤

[@carolm4094]

Loved seeing your idea books. What great references for ideas. I don’t have a book yet but have been saving examples in a box for easy reference. Seeing your books makes me want to start one.

[@junellancalade1879]

Good morning Gayle!! Thanks so much for the hi and hugs! What an exciting video flipping through all your idea books. Oh my! I was getting anxious bc I want to make them all! So many wonderful ideas. I started on an idea book a couple of years ago but didn’t keep up with it. I need to get back to it. It is especially helpful when I get in a creative slump.. Thanks so much for bringing us along in your organizing of all your books! I hope you have a fabulous day! 💞💕🌺Hugs!!

Morning dear friend! Eventually I will get back to my daily visits, but this morning I just needed a shot of Gayle (fun). In the meantime, do me a favor? Give your sweet Mike an extra hug, kiss and "I love you." I lost my sweet, amazing hubby of 54+ years last Friday morning (cardiac arrest). Thank you for my Gayle smile.

Oh, Judi, I’m so very sorry for your loss. 😢. I will surely give Mike and extra hug and I love you! And prayers of comfort for you, my friend. 🙏❤

[@karenbelbin6790]

very interesting to see all the ideas, inspiration overload.💕💕

[@paigelim4453]

Hi Gayle, thank you for the flip-thrus of your idea books. (I hope this is in English this time.) You are wanting a way to store your pages for signatures, so I was thinking a binder with polyvues would be the easiest and neatest way to store them. I also thought of another weekly series you could do if you ever need one. Each week, make something from your idea books. I guess that could also work for Forgotten Friends Friday. You are awesome. (P.S. The heater didn't bother me in the least. At least I knew you were comfortable. 😊) Have a wonderful day!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Paige! ❤

[@treshapalmer9044]

Maybe put you idea loose pages in a elastic binding journal like sevenplaza made the other day then you can place them in and out when you want them

[@pattiefulton4111]

You can make a travelers notebook with elastic cords to store sewn-in page ideas. It will have to be taller than your regular books, because the elastic is usually about a quarter to half an inch in from the top and bottom. For regular ideas I think you should use a book that has lots of shallow pockets and side tucks, so you don’t have to use so many paper clips.

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Yes, pockets and tucks like her correspondence journals those would be perfect for idea books.

[@patcarmody7592]

You have so many wonderful artists. I have an idea journal just of Cori Dahmen's creations. She is so amazing.

[@smo2270]

A suggestion for the pages you want to add to an idea a book but don't want a permanent spine what about a removable signature

[@lalagamma4452]

I wish I could find a place to store a copy of artwork. Those books are worth a fortune! Todays Quote: “There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.” - Ralph Blum. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞

[@carolquinn6402]

Loved peeking in your ideas books. I love flicking through mine. Have you thought about an ideas book using elastic to bind in your page ideas. Easy to slip in and no more loose pages, at the back of the journal..... Thank you for the wonderful inspirational ideas ❤

[@WriterParachute]

Hi Gayle! Friday Friends, hello.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Good morning, sweet friend! ❤️

[@sirilawson2557]

I had no idea paper and glue could make this many fabulous things! I’m just amazed at people’s creativity! I can see why you want to keep an example of each item, cause there’s so much it could easily be forgotten after a while.

[@robinmentzer7974]

Good morning, Gayle. So many wonderful ideas in your journals! I heard you mention an idea journal for signature pages. How about doing a heavy duty cover and add the pages as you go with the stretchy bands like Ceri does in his personal journals. Make it with a large enough spine where you could keep multiple signatures. Thought it might be a quick, easy idea and easy to add pages as you make them. Have a great weekend.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Gayle, Do you do craft fairs near Christmas in your local area? I’m from theUK , I seem to sell in craft fairs but not online, closed my Etsy as can’t sell my journal kits as too many doing it these days, alas , tried for four years. I’m retired too, love your videos, You inspire me so much . You love bunnies I love kittens. Lol All animals are fun to add to any journal. Sue J fromUK

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Susan! I don’t do craft fairs any more. I found when I did that folks just didn’t “get” my journals. I spent the entire day explaining what they were and how to use them and sold very few. By selling on Etsy, the folks who make and follow journal videos “get it” and will buy my journals. Did you know there are 7.3 million shops on Etsy? That’s why you have to do social media marketing to drive folks to your shop, other wise it gets lost in the shuffle. 🥴❤
