Loved all those cute clusters! It is not a day without Gayle, My husband and I moved across country to be near family. It has been hard to relocate at age 70. With covid and all we have met very few people. You are my scrappy friend to spur me on. TFS

[@heatherdoane1195]

Good day for a scrappy Saturday! Sitting at a balmy -11 degrees Celsius (12 degrees Fahrenheit) here today.🥶🥶🥶 I remember when my kids were small (1985) and a tornado touched down just south and North of us. It was a very still and eerie day, all day. I recall the devastation from Mount St. Helens eruption very well also. ❤️🇨🇦

[@annettecolagrande3736]

I was a sophomore in high school in Brookings Oregon when Mount St. Helens blew, a couple of days after the eruption we woke up to the same thing, it was like it had snowed ash. I had to broom off my truck to go to school that morning. I can remember my mom was really worried about one of my brothers who lived in Tacoma at the time. Love your stories!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I love Brookings! 😍. We have rented a vrbo on the ocean there several times! ❤️

[@annettedepete4314]

Thanks Gayle for sharing such a fun scrappy Saturday! It is fun making snippets.😍🌴

[@maryvaszi8742]

Love Scrappy Saturdays. Your clusters are great and I could see me using them in a multitude of ways.

[@tiegz9770]

I love the tiny people, it's so random but so cute

[@debgalloway9769]

Watching your scrappy video on Monday, your snippets are so lovely. I love watching your creative layering...please never stop. I remember the day of Mt st Helens eruption. Quite scary and surreal. It reminds me that our earth and environment is always moving, changing. Sometimes with great suddenness. I cant believe the amount of beautiful snippets you made, and I love the end result. On to your next video, I have some catching up to do.

[@debbiev.1311]

Flowers🌸, butterflies🦋 & Timmy people...OH MY what another wonderful Scrappy Saturday...TFS!! 😊💖 True confession time: I was one of those people who thought Timmy people were "creepy" 🙈 until I saw you decorating w/ them...then I had a change of heart!! Now, I have a bunch of my own, & always love it when you use them!!😁😘

[@maggieflatt9686]

Pretty snippets. Love embellishing with them. Great Scrappy Saturday.

I have to say I had to laugh when you said talk amongst yourselves....love what you are doing making these interesting bits.

Thanks Gayle! I needed ideas for decorating some journals and these different snippet/clusters are perfect. I don’t usually comment but I love listening and watching you while I work on my books :)

Hi Gayle, GM from West Kelowna, BC 🇨🇦. I just love your great and happy style. I learn so much from you, I hope you stay well.

[@teresemartinez6215]

What a great idea to staple, much quicker then glue!

[@freidagepner2370]

A distress intervention!! I love it! I know what you mean. I have a hard time not distressing. It just doesn’t seem finished unless I do! Beautiful clusters. I have been working on clusters too for my shop. Love them a lot. Fun scrappy Saturday!😊❤️🦋

[@sandyflores2656]

What a productive day! This was so timely because I want to make some snippets soon! I'm going to cheat a bit because I need some lace trim so I'm going to go buy 1/4 yards of a few. I haven't sewn in years so I can't find my bag of trim that I've had for decades. It pains me a bit because I can still see it clear as day in my head. There was some leftover lace from my 8th grade graduation dress my mom made me, some white and pink crochet trim that was my grandmother's...Gosh I hope I find it one of these days.

[@teresachetty7881]

I just love your scrappy saturdays it makes my day xx

[@sharontilyard949]

Some great clusters today Gayle!!! I do really love the Tim Holtz ones you made at the end. I love the Tim Holtz paper dolls too!!! TFS!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

[@cathycrowder2226]

Good Morning Gayle! Favorite day of the week - Scrappy Saturday!

[@tamaraklepel1517]

Mt St Helens blew and I was in the backyard weeding with my father and grandmother. A friend of mine was lying on the grass and remarked that the mountain blew. No, we disagreed and looked over in the direction of St Helens. Sure enough! It had a black plume from it. Oh my the ASH! my grandmother was saving it and using it to clean the grease off her stove hood and so on. It was pretty abrasive! It was a very weird day indeed.

[@lindahyem5804]

Love all the snippets!

[@donitamoore8123]

Love watching you make these. Enjoy watching how you layer and then embellish them. I learn so much when you do these! It's been another fun filled week watching your videos! Have a blessed day.

[@WoodlandInspired]

These are really quick and nice to use up some scraps. I remember when Mount St Helen erupted but I don't remember what I was doing. Lol!

[@lorigohl1634]

Wow! You got so much done! I would have a very hard time picking which one I like the most.

[@billiejoethomason6075]

Funny that I’m saying yes & no right along with you as you’re adding layers 😆

[@Meyersci]

This process has been so helpful to me! Thank you!

[@yagottasingwithsusan]

Scrappy clusters are my favorite. When I’m stressed, this is what I do to de-stress. 💕

I love every single one! Wow!!

Wow...I think I counted 26 pieces! That was awesome!

A "distress intervention!" LOL! Thanks for sharing your cluster making and decorating!

[@juneribbons5196]

I like your mass making. I think it's a real time saver and they turn out awesome !!! I love, love, love all of 5hey finished clusters When Mt Saint Helen's erupted, I hadn't lived in WA state long. I'd come from Libby and have always wondered how much of the ash dumped there ahd other towns in MT. Thanks for your memories

[@djbenz3461]

Heehee, when you said you were so totally absorbed in what you were doing that you weren't talking, I was so absorbed with you that I didn't even notice you had stopped talking!🤦‍♀️🤣So much fun, thank you!👍😘

[@deniecemiller3467]

Love your snippets! I live in WA so I remember that day and will never for get it. We felt the rumble and wondered what in the heck. What a mess the ash was.

[@sharonmariec]

Always fun!

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

I lived in Washington when the Mountain Blew and it was my Graduation year 1980 I could see the mountain from the front porch of my parents house. We could see the plums of smoke. I even graduated on schedule.

[@cynthiabuck8995]

Happy scrappy - Hugs.

[@PaperInspirationsAU]

Thank you Gayle! I have never seen clusters done this way before and I think I would feel more confident doing them this way. I struggle to do them one at a time. Not sure why but I just overthink it. Thanks for sharing. xx

[@lindaschireson6912]

Ok Gayle two things. I also love Tim Holts people. And great minds think alike. The last paper ephemera you did. I was whispering butterfly. And in the end you picked a butterfly. Lol❤️

[@joannewachel2505]

Neat, lots of goodies to use. I need to make some too. One of those guys looked like he had his hand out to pet the dog. But you chose the lady instead. I was in Seattle a year ago in Nov. and actually got some earrings that look like emeralds made from the Mt. Saint Helens activity. You reminded me that I should wear them even if I am not going anywhere right now. Enjoy your day.🌹

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

Wow! You were super productive today! I would say you are pretty well stocked up now! Great job! Makes me want to make more clusters and snippets since I sold all of mine and didn’t keep any for my work… lol! 😂

[@2sistersjunkjournals]

You really need to have 3 tee-shirts made and put into your Etsy shop... "inkin and thinkin", "talk amongst yourselves" and todays "we need a distress intervention" ... just sayin'! LOVE Scrappy Saturday!

@@gayleagostinelli_ct thanks for sharing your Mt.St. Helens experience. I think the documentary said that people 9 states east of Washington had ash fall. Pretty creepy!

[@joydawson875]

Oh, Gayle, you are such an inspiration. You make being superbly creative and incredibly organized look like an easy combo! I wish! On top of that, just like your grandson (I think?) I find your videos to be soothing enough to be a lullaby! Thank you for sharing your gifts. You are a blessing!

[@RoseD2016]

These are awesome. Love them! Xx

[@travelingmntngal7963]

Hi Gayle! Yeah! Happy Scrappy Saturday! Yeah! I really enjoy it when you do the snippets out of left-overs. So much fun and boy, do they add something special to a card or page. Just love your telling of the story of Mt. St. Helen. My favorite topic as a geologist is volcanoes. I love to teach about them and so, when I hear a story like yours, I add it to my mental files. I find it very interesting how much fallout you got there, that it was dark, and you felt like you needed to protect you son. And you were right...volcanic ash is not good at all to breathe in. So, you were very wise about that. I was living in Dayton, OH when it blew and we got a tiny little ash our way. But nothing like what you got there. I also was a young mother with my 2 year old son and 5 month old daughter. What a memory that must be for you, Gayle. I have almost got through Day 4 of COVID. Still not too bad - like a really, really bad bug and praying it stays like that. I have to keep tabs on my oxygen levels and so far, that's been doing good. It's funny, my hubby tested negative when we were tested together. But we've been told that it will possibly surface with him, too. I sure do hope not, but our friend who got it at the same time we did is doing well. So, we'll see. Just really appreciate being able to watch you right now, Gayle. You are very calming and I think the worst part of this isn't the symptoms more than it is the waiting to see if it will get worse or not. I'll just be glad when I'm on Day 15 or the symptoms start to deplete and are gone. Well, enjoy the rest of your evening and your Sunday. God Bless you, Mr. A, and the family. Hugs! Sue

Bless you, Sue, you are in my prayers. 🙏❤️

[@carolpowerslavenderdreamsc1599]

Good morning Gayle!! You just reminded me how old I really am....😂...the first time Mt St Helens blew was a week before my 18th birthday. I remember waking up and thinking the world came to an end. It was very scary!! At that time we lived down on the coast by Ocean Shores. It took months for the ash to go away. I remember driving and you couldn't go far because your air filter clogged up with the ash. It was the day after my birthday when the mountain blew a second time. You got a lot of snippets made and they all turned out so pretty!! Love scrappy Saturday's...💜

[@loripowell7654]

You have a great eye for layering ...I always love watching you create!

Hiya everyone!! So new too all this craft and I'm learning so much! It's SO MUCH fun!! Always been "crafty" and making cute things, but when I came upon this channel and some others, I fell down the "rabbit hole" and in no hurry to leave, lol!! Huge new Fan Miss Gayle and love all of your videos. Got my notifications set too "All", so I don't miss any. Just starting out and I don't have much supplies and materials, but gathering things every day for my "stash". I was wanting too ask everyone, where they buy their Fabri-Tac? The Beacon brand? I have been using this brand of glue for some time now and was happy to see that most of the JJ crafters here use it as well. I get mine at the Dollar Tree here in Somerset. It's a 1.75 oz bottle, but not labeled Fabri_Tac, but Poster Board-Foam adhesive. But it's the same glue. So when I get it, I usually buy all they have, lol, bc I like that price. Okay, geez, so sorry to write a novel here, haha. Just wanted to say HI to you and everyone and ask my question about the glue. Hope everyone is having a Blessed day and warm ;-) Patty (KY)

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

First off, Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! I used to buy my Fabritac at WalMart or Hobby Lobby (FabriFix at Walmart, same thing), but now that I’m pretty much home bound because of the you know what, I buy it from my website. It’s available on my website (listed in the description box under my videos) under Gayle’s Favorite Things at gayleagostinelli.com/gayles-favorite-things/. You can get a lot of crafty things from my favorite things and it’s my links to Amazon Affiliate, so I get a small commission with no extra cost to you. 😁❤️

I remember that day. We lived in California at the time. Family up Alameda, we were in Atwater and we were rolling newspapers for the family paper route. The cars were rocking back and forth. My Dad came out and said the water in the pool was sloshing out. Them is started with the ash coming down.

[@lucyperry8422]

Fun clusters, Gayle! Love those little flowers! I remember when Mt St Helens blew; I remember the little old man, was it(?), who refused to leave his home. I was in college in the deep South, and we wondered if the ash would make it all the way down to us.

[@Meyersci]

I remember that guy, named Harry Truman.
