Making Ephemera! - Christmas Cheer Ephemera Stuffed Folio - Part 6

[@lisafrazier9197]

Gayle don’t let anybody bully you about your decision on your puppy dog!!!!! Just Block them! I am happy for you and your husband and this was a wonderful choice for your family!!!

[@cwsowell]

Good grief! Can you do anything right? Can't sew without jiggling the camera, can't fold a piece of paper the right way and now you are getting the wrong kind of dog! There's no wonder there is such a problem with bullying in schools when adults stoop to such tactics. You are such a joy to watch, you put me in a better mood every time I watch you. I'm sure you won't, but for the rest of our sakes, please don't change. Ignore the naysayers, they don't deserve even a passing thought.

[@librarygalcnl]

Hi Gayle, it blows my mind as to why some people seem think they have the right to slam, judge and give negative opinions and comments about what you and your husband choose to do or not do! I enjoy your happiness, excitement and joy about your new addition to your family. I enjoy your videos, your creativity, your humour and how you laugh at yourself. I look forward to our daily conversations. Sending you warm greetings from Peterborough, Ontario. :) ❤️🇨🇦

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much, Carolanne! It’s been a bit of a rough week, but the excitement for little Jimmy Jo is at a fever pitch not only with Mike and I, but the kids and grandkids are SO excited! Thanks so much for your sweet support! ❤️

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

I am so sorry some people are making complaints about where, how, and why you got your puppy. I wish people would just mind their own business. It is so unkind of them to act out at you with their agenda and protests. You have my heart and compassion today. You are such a wonderful person...caring, compassionate, helpful, funny...you sure don't deserve any negative reactions, not about the pup, not about camera jiggles. Loving this journal so much. Pulled out my papers yesterday and organized some Christmas stuff. Hope to start the journal soon.

[@lynnewillis995]

Couldn't agree more Angela. xx

[@AnitaandLucas]

Agree 100%

[@suzyemery]

Exactly!! People can be so mean!!!

[@karenpruis501]

MY thoughts exactly. How dare they. Just keep being yourself Gayle and you don't have to justify any decision that you make in your life. Best wishes for the joy that your puppy will bring to you and your husband. The negative opinionated people can go jump. Karen.

[@rosiegarcia7664]

I agree 100 percent !!!

[@KLThames]

Every dog needs a loving home. You and Mr. A are going to just love that guy so very much. I went to a shelter to adopt the dogs that I have had and I'm so happy to have had those experiences. But I would fall all over myself as I tumbled down cement stairs to be able to have a BMD as my companion! I am so excited for you two, you chose an amazing and smart breed!

[@marthamanigross]

Dearest Gayle, my friend and pal ~ never ever let anyone steal your sparkle or joy. Never ever justify your decisions to those that don’t have any say in your life Never give anyone the satisfaction of bringing you to tears. I know the tears were from being hurt, and also from having to stand up for yourself, because like me, it’s hard for you to do, even at our age (we are the same age!). Always know that the majority of us are grateful for all you do, share with us, and your beautiful soul The recent events with the FTC have put everyone on YT on edge. That, and other things going on in life, add up. I hope you had a super week babysitting the grandgirls and visiting with Eve. I wish I could have been there with the two of you because I’m sure it was a well deserved respite for you! Hugs, girlfriend. Love 💕 you. Hugs from VA. 🤗.

[@anne-marie5197]

I love this journal! After a lifetime of stray pets, we have a breeder dog now. Different pets for different seasons of life. (((Hugs)))

[@carolynhawks42]

Let the lady have the dog she wants! After doing due diligence all her life and giving shelter animals a "forever" home, she and her husband are entitled to have a specific animal that will suit their specific needs. This breed is so attached to their owners that it's perfect for seniors. No running away while the owners chase it down means less problems all the way around. They and the dog will all be very happy and they ALL deserve it. I've warmed up to this lady and her passion for the paper arts, don't make me have to spank anyone for abusing her! LOL

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

🤗😘❤️

[@tinlizzie4444]

It is one of my biggest pet peeves when people feel they have the right to make comments or state their opinions when they don't even know you!! If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all!!! Keep your comments/opinions and mean thoughts to yourself!! You just get your little Jimmy Jo and love him to bits and pieces!! I am excited for you and your hubby!! I am also just as excited about this folio!! I love everything you had made to put into this Christmas folio and will be sad when you are done with it!! TFS Gayle!! Hugs, Liz:)

[@Peppermint_Paper]

So excited for you and hubby! Can’t wait to Jimmy on your videos. The people that feel the need to “school” you on pet ownership should learn a little about respect and manners. Forcing your opinion and agenda on others in a negative way isn’t and shouldn’t be well received. Thank you for sharing you talents, your home, and your family with us. Very much appreciated ❤️

[@melissahalpain6481]

I watch all your videos but I beer rarely post anything. I just want you to know how much joy you bring into my life. I'm house bound with my husband who had dementia so I really enjoy my you tube. You do not need to explain yourself to anyone. No one has the right to make kidneys on your decisions. I'm a year older than you and I understand any decisions that make life a little easier. I hope you don't let anyone stop toilet from enjoying your new puppy. I'm so happy for you. You are such a joyous person so just keep being you. 💖

[@loisstoneking8709]

God love your heart! You have to be one of the sweetest people on here! You don’t need to apologize to us for what you do! Just because we follow you doesn’t give any of us the right to tell you how to live your life! You seem to be doing a great job without our help! Go ahead and shake the table and make mistakes and don’t apologize! You buy whatever kind of dog you want! We don’t get to vote! The reason we follow you is you’re real and remind us that it’s ok when we screw up. You are a joy to watch! Thank you for being brave and bringing so much joy and laughter to others! ❤️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Lois! ❤️

[@petomine1565]

Gayle I laugh with you and I cry with you. This week has sure been a roller coaster of emotions. I was so happy to hear you found the perfect pup for you and Mr. A! It upset so much to read the comments and then hear the pain in your voice from people who do not think before they speak. Maybe they do think but is it from their heart or their need to make themselves appear to be better humans than we "common" folk. I have had many rescued animals myself, some have been from shelters, some have been strays, some from people that could not keep them anymore, and even had one dog I rescued from a breeder. They were going to put down a pup just because it was deaf! He was a beautiful Boston Terrier.They said it had no value, boy were they ever wrong! My Gizmo was one of the smartest dogs I have ever owned, he learned commands by sign language! He was also the best guard dog ever, he may not hear but his sense of vibration would pick up anyone outside on our porch! All dogs have merit, no matter where they come from. As far as only adopting rescues, that is a good thing but it also has drawbacks such as not knowing his family health issues or behavior problems. If we adopt all the animals the shelters have, and all of them are spayed or neutered, then as a breed/species they will die out! Common sense says some have to breed to keep the population alive. I love your heart Gayle, you do tend to wear it on your sleeve like me. Don't change to make a few Negative Nellies feel vindicated. The only one you have to answer to is yourself and with the man upstairs, as far as I can see that looks like a shoe in! Mistakes, shakey cam, etc is all real life and I appreciate seeing a "real" person not a scripted/edited version of one. I am writing a novel here again, guess I am making up for not commenting daily LOL, I do watch all of your adventures and love them. I will watch you collage all day LOL it is relaxing for me and sometimes I do my own crafts but usually I am truely giving you all of my attention! I cannot wait to see lil Mr. Jimmy Joe make his debut and watch him grow before all of our eyes!

[@MaritMeijer]

You just do You dear Gayle. That dog is going to be the happiest little booger ever, no matter what other people say. People need to stop making You feel bad for anything and mind their own business. I love your video’s and just hearing You talk shop!🥰😘

[@carolemaguire644]

Every puppy needs a good loving home ! Conscientious breeders need all the support we can give them, as well as shelters. A good breeder goes above and beyond to raise healthy dogs and to place them in loving forever homes. They are not, and never have been the puppy mills that are the terror of the pet world !! It is a shame that people do not bother to educate themselves, and then would have the nerve to attack you for your choice to provide a loving home to a magnificent dog from a respectable breeder. Enjoy that puppy and know that you are doing your part to encourage the continuance of a wonderful breed :)

[@Brocanteblanc]

I love that you share your life and respect and love what you do with it.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you, sweet Bebe! It’s been quite a week!! ❤️

[@Brocanteblanc]

I definitely consider you my friend.

[@caseyblauvelt9223]

Dear Gayle...you sure have been through the emotional wringer this week, haven't you? I'm so sorry for that. I've cried right along with you, and I wish there was something I could do or say to make it all better. I can't imagine why anyone would try to steal your joy, because you are one of the truly good ladies of the world. You mustn't let them. Clearly, that lil' Jimmy-boy was meant to be yours. So many unhappy people think dragging someone else down will make them feel better about themselves. Please hang in there with the rest of us who love you, and know that next week will be a whole lot better.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks darlin! Yep it’s sure been a week. But I think it’s on the upswing!!! 😁❤️

[@debiargust6596]

I’m so sorry that “strangers” are telling you what to do. I could never do KZbin because I’d be crying every day. I can’t wait to meet Jimmy! I love watching puppies grow. I wish I were your neighbor because we’d be best buddies. Big hugs being sent your way...🌸

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks Debi! ❤️

[@donnakinmn1683]

I am loving these folio tutorials. I can't wait to try one. It's great that you show a sample and then recreate it using your own stuff. It shows us we don't have to have what you have - we can use our own imaginations. Congrats on the new puppy. I can't wait for you to share him once he moves in. Everyone has an opinion, everyone doesn't need to share it.

[@catscarborough9944]

Gayle - WOW!! I'm blown away once again by your character. You shared with us the news and excitement of getting the puppy, calmly explained your and your husbands reasoning behind it (which you shouldn't have to defend in the first place), and you put your foot down in a wonderfully self-respecting and humble way. This might not hold a lot of weight coming from a random subbie (at least we met and hugged once!) but I am really proud of you for being firm and standing up for yourself. No matter how "bumbling" you feel at times, you carry yourself with exemplary grace. Thank you lovely, for everything you give 💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

On my gosh, Cat, your comment just touched my heart...and reared me up yet again. Thank you! Standing up for myself is a hard thing for me and your affirmation means so much to me!! Thank you dear one!! I hope we can meet again! 😘❤️

[@cynthiaagee4813]

Gayle, you are brave and wonderful for sharing your craft and your life with your viewers. Please continue to do so. I like the old adage "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything." I look forward to seeing and hearing about your puppy. Don't let anyone steal your joy! I miss your "hi and hugs" to your subbies...

[@janetcockerham9956]

Hello Gayle, I don't comment on social media often. But, I feel the urging to encourage you during this time. I am a painter but have become interested in paper crafting and journal making over the last year or so. I look to You Tube for information and tutorials be some very talented people. You have become my, almost, daily tutorial to watch. Your openness and willingness to share your talent is outstanding. I know you have received some disturbing news about how you will handle your videos in the future. Also, as you share with us, you open yourself up to some unpleasant feedback. I am sorry for that. I just want you to know that I appreciate you and would be sad to not hear your soothing voice. And, I may soon actually make one of those wonderful junk journals that you share with us. Be encouraged and know that we love you.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Janet!! 🤗❤️

[@sparrowhawkerdesigns]

Lovely ephemera and journal. Really, really lovely. Also, congrats on your new puppy. And wow, the gall of some people to tell you where you should get your dog from. Every animal I've ever had has either been a rescue or an animal that somebody literally dumped on me. We happily took them all in. However, I have many friends who have pure bred dogs, and gosh darn it, it never once occurred to me to chide them for it. Never even entered my mind. All I could think was, awesome, they have a new furry friend. One of our dogs is part St. Bernard and his personality and his interactions with our grandkids has been so phenomenal, that we're considering getting a full blood St. Bernard from a breeder. I've never had an animal that is as gentle with my grandkids as this dog has been. There is more than one reason to get a dog other than just to open your home to an animal who needs it. There are also your needs to consider, too. And if your needs lead you to BMD, then so be it. (My nephew was allergic to every dog under the son, except for a Labradoodle, so that's what his parents got him.) So sorry you got flack for it. Anyway, again, this project is truly stunning. XX

[@lindanagle3796]

Good morning Gayle. ❤ I made spine templares from 1/2" to 3 1/2" comes in very handy. 😊 You know your choice is your choice. You shouldn't have to explain your choices to anyone. You are not responsible for the dogs and cats in shelters. The people who put them out on the streets are responsible. I know there are the ones who can't care for them anymore but people should not judge. People don't care if they hurt other people with their words 😢. Lots of love and hugs coming your way. 💕💕

To enjoy the animal no matter the breed. I’m happy that you 2 will give a wonderful home to a great breed. I’m happy for you. Gayle and Mr. A are smart enough to make an informed decision about what kind of dog they should want. I’m so sorry people have to feel like they know what you should want or not .

It would never occur to me to question your choices for a dog. Knowing who you are if you weren’t getting a rescue I figured it wasn’t possible. I also figured it wasn’t my business!!!

Oh dear Gayle. Please don't let these people spoil the joy you and your husband feel about owning your little puppy. He will have a loving caring with you and your family and bring a heart felt joy that all pets do.

I am so tired of all the judgmental, self righteous people who don’t know when to keep their thoughts to themselves!!! Shake the table how ya want!! Fold the paper how ya want!! Get the dog that ya want!! You are such a sweet, good hearted lady and I’ll sit here like I do every day and watch you do all those things. I love your spirit. Keep doing you, Gayle.

[@dottygin]

I admire your courage Gayle speaking out as you did. I wanted to give you a big hug. I know you put yourself out there on you tube, but no one has to the right to tell you what you can and cant do. You are such a lovely lady, you didn't deserve that. right off to watch the last one, I have absolutely enjoyed this series and giggling with you,. thank you for your company today xxxxxxxx

[@maggieflatt9686]

I think it is wonderful that you and your hubby have decided to do something together by getting a puppy. You both obviously put a lot of thought into what type of dog that would best fit into your lives. I think that is very smart of you both. You'll have years of happiness. Don't let those people get you down.

[@ssmaxwel]

OH Gayle! How fun that at our age you are expecting a little one… Even though and thankfully so it is a puppy! I’m so happy you found the kind of dog you wanted. Your puppy will bring joy and fun and love into your house! What wonderful walks you’ll have with him/her.

[@jenniferbooth7390]

Gayle enjoy your puppy and don't listen to people. I just want to give you a hug.

[@JessicaHarris]

Dogs are the best, they are all about love, no matter where you get them from. 💖🐾 I’m so excited for you and can’t wait to see Jimmy Jo.

[@patbrez3079]

I got my Doxie from a Breeder and was told by a few people I paid to much. My family for years always adopted or was given a dog. We called my dad Dr. Doolittle. My little mini Doxie is what I wanted and she is the best, so good with the grand babies too. Today my grand-daughter who will be three next month was looking at very very old dictionary with her dad; (my son) and said the paper was coffee paper, she loves my coffee dye paper, I let her glue the scraps on her pages in her junk journal binder. 👍 on this video, enjoying it very much. 🍁🍁🍁

[@happymaker2243]

Gayle, I think it is so kind of you and Mr. A. to adopt this dog and give it a loving home. I wish I was a Burnese mountain dog named Jimmy Joe - lucky dog. I am behind in viewing your videos because I am actually trying to do what you are teaching in this folio journal series. I am much slower to get things done than you. But, I am almost finished, and I will have a lovely gift to give to a friend- thanks to you. So, thank you!

[@maiotm]

[@beverlystout7841]

You go momma Gayle! I love that you stand up for yourself & well you should! I look forward to seeing pictures of the new puppy when you get him. Oh! Love the folio too! 🐶

[@millicentoneill9549]

Gayle the folio is gorgeous!!! I also love that you share your life with us,that is huge. Why do people have to open their big mouth and crush your joy about getting this puppy,if they are paying for it then they have a say in the matter but they are not paying so zip it. Puppy Jimmy is going to be the happiest puppy ever with his loving parents. Gayle you have a heart of gold and I love you for that. Every morning I get up and have my coffee and my Gayle and Diane fix. Big hugs my friend 💕💕 Joan from Canada.

No one has the right to tell you anything about your own personal decisions Gayle. You are entitled to make any decision in your life that is BEST for you and your family. People that comment with negativity are stepping into your boundaries. They are not entitled to do that. If they are just suggesting Great....otherwise comments that hurt feelings or try to make someone feel guilty are not warranted. Keep getting excited about that lil guy coming to live with you soon. He will bring a world of happiness to you all. BTW...love the comment...”Back Off”. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent and your personal life with us all. I feel I have known you my whole life. (:

[@Jenny-W1910]

[@erika3293]

WONDERFUL video again Gayle. Always so inspiring. Jimmy Jo can't come soon enough!!!!!

[@marysmith4501]

Gayle, there is nothing wrong with your decision to get the kind of breed that you and your husband like. I would not listen to the ones that would try to make you feel bad. Its your decision! We adopted a shelter doggy back in 2011, she was not quite a puppy but a lovely 4 yr old doggy. She was big. And very lovable. She was our guard dog, our furry friend, and furry kid. :) She was truly a good dog. Sadly, this year we lost her due to a terrible sickness, we did everything we knew to do, and went by what the vet suggested us to do for her. She will always be in our hearts forever. Do be encouraged. Your videos are very wonderful to watch during the late night hours, and quite frankly during the day as well. Keep up the good work!

[@elizabethkerckhoff1259]

Hi Ms.Gayle, I just want to give you a hug. You have so many people on here that love and care about you and your family. We are all excited to meet Jimmy-Jo! Those people that made unkind comments can be blocked! You don't need to read mean comments. Your better than that! Big Big Hugs Ms.Gayle xoxo.....Liz

[@annunderwood8602]

I am soooo happy you had the courage to voice your feelings about you being attacked by people who think they have the right to voice judgment and condemnation about you getting the dog you and your husband want. I am celebrating you right now. I have a huge smile on my face and my heart is singing "Good for you. Good for you. Good people have a voice!"

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Great way to start my Saturday morning! Thank you Gayle!😊

[@juliannewilliams7402]

Great to hear you sticking up for yourself Gayle.... you go girl..... Please don't let the naysayers stop your lovely family stories because I as one love knowing what's going on in your life.... I love that you and your husband put so much thought into the type of dog that would suit your lifestyle. I think if more people did that, there would be less unwanted animals. Thank you for sharing....
