You are a joy to watch. Thanks for your inspiration.

I love watching you create. I learn so much. Thank you!

It IS wonderful watching the grands succeed! Their faces light up! Mine play basketball now, seasonally baseball, tag football. I love watching them and my 2 grandsons are very competitive and LOVE watching them win. But even when they lose, they are very gracious. I absolutely LOVE watching your videos on youtube! These are what get me through the day on my job. My job is depressing and unhappy, but watching you makes me feel SO much better! Thank you!

[@theresasuttle711]

Traveling, so a day behind. Great ephemera pieces. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous Gayle!... Thank u for sharing.

[@craftycat7212]

So cool Gayle! I feel ya on the technical difficulties. I swear my computer messes with me most when it knows I don't have time to mess with it or when my husband and son aren't home. Hugs, Amy

[@evelynvasquez5928]

These turned out lovely.

[@anita4291]

Love the messy stitching! Great ephemera.

[@janetgills6024]

I am so happy to be watching your videos again. I have been been away for a week or so spending time with the new addition to the family. I guess he is my little Número uno, my first great grandchild River. I have missed working on my projects with you, so I will be binge watching and binge crafting today. I feel guilty if I don’t watch your video’s, since you take the time from your busy life to make them.... plus I always get so much inspiration from you. Thanks for all you do for us.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Congratulations on your new little one! Never feel guilty, dear one! The great thing about YT is the videos are always there whenever you have time! Hugs! 🎉👶❤️

Love the painted nails❤️

[@charlottevanstraten339]

I am always a day late and a dollar short. So I will be one of those who miss out on your yummy sales. I enjoy from afar. No grudges to any who actually win out. I am genuinely happy for others! God gives me gifts from time to time as he sees I need. I am blessed just watching and learning. My oldest used to hate I preceded the natural approach to beauty. She was drawn to people who used lots of paint. Lol

[@yagottasingwithsusan]

Another great video 💕

[@brendabass4151]

Awesome video!!

[@rondaclarke6991]

Came across your videos and really enjoy watching you design and work. I’m just beginning to try my hand at making journals and hopefully we’ll be able to make a few for Christmas of 2020. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us. 🥰

[@travelingmntngal7963]

Hi Gayle! I was in two different places today. Half the day was being the Art teacher at the High School. She was there when I got there (she had meetings) and really encourages me to be creative while I'm there. The students are in the advanced classes, so really easy to be there. So, I watched you do the faux envelope and made one, too. Fun! Congrats to your Granddaughter's team for winning! Yeah! Yes, it is so much fun to watch the Grandkids do well at the things they do. When mine were younger, I lived nearby and was always going to things they were in. But now, I'm quite a bit away from them and I do miss going to their events. Though, last year we did get to see two of my grandson's dance recital. Bennie is the only boy in his ballet class and boy were they all just the cutest. My grandson, Fred, does tap and actually got pretty good. I was impressed. My Grandson, Charlie, is in Cross Country and has ended up being one of the top runners in the eighth grade. In the past few years, he's been getting faster and faster. There was another boy on his team that was faster than him and he's never been able to beat him. He kept telling my daughter that the boy was just too good. My daughter has been encouraging him to override this idea that he can never pass this boy up. He went to his State meet and realized that he could probably go faster than these other boys and he ended up speeding himself up and placing fairly well. But then, a week later, at his last meet for the season, which was a few weeks ago, he ended up 1st place out of like 200 boys running. My daughter said it was the only meet she couldn't go to and Charlie came home and didn't even say anything until she asked him. And then he acted all humble about the whole thing. He's my first grandson and I am so very proud of him, as well as all my other grandkids, of which we have 7 altogether. All of which are amazing with their talents! Oh, my gosh, Gayle, I am not at all a make-up person. I have worn foundation and blush, but I want it to look as natural as I can. I don't even like how mascara feels on my eyes and only will wear it every now and again. And that means years. But the past few years, I haven't been wearing anything. Gotta love old books for their clean and wholesome nature! There's just so much smuttiness anymore in everything. Even television...all the things that's there to watch with all these channels and apps and we spent a good half hour trying to find something to watch, because most isn't worth the time due to the amount of violence or language. Or both! It's just too much anymore! Nice book page tag pocket and tag. Well, it's past bedtime and tomorrow, I'm the English teacher. Another high school job, which has really been giving me a nice break from elementary. Well, until your next video. Have a really great Friday! God Bless! Sue

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Bless you, Sue! I look so forward to your comments. Thanks so much for sharing with your pal, Gayle! Hugs to you, my friend! ❤️

[@michellnav]

Hi Gayle! I'm watching this video from our campground in Zion. It's so beautiful here. Anyway, we've been camping in Utah's National Parks for the last 2 weeks so my video watching has been nile. I love the journal envelop. I've been making journal cards & pockets, but I'll have to try making some of these fun journal envelopes when we get home in a week. Hope all is well in Montana! -Michell

[@carollaws838]

I love what you made, fab xx

[@carolynchatham6338]

Nice addition to the ephemera bucket

[@tiawanagriffey7257]

I absolutely love watching you make all of your ephemera and tags and journals. I sometimes feel like a total rookie because I don’t have all the pretty papers and stamps to create with. I usually just have to draw whatever it is that I want to add to a piece. I’m always looking forward to your next video!! 😍

[@YourCraftingSourceMichelleH]

I so enjoy your videos!

[@donnakinmn1683]

I'm loving your ephemera series. My sister went to Paris for a couple weeks and I tasked her with collecting ephemera for me. I just received a wonderful package filled with maps, little receipts, museum and concert brochures and tickets and a couple of postcards. Can't wait to start making some Gayle-ephemera and also using some of it for signature pages in a journal. thanks for your inspiration.

[@impalamama7302]

Oh wow!! What a blessinf! Lots of fun Paris themed travel papers stamps and digis etc out there right now....how will you ever pick one?? Have you one in mind?? Enguiring minds wanna know!!

[@donnakinmn1683]

@@impalamama7302 Not sure yet. I'm still looking at it over and over. I've only made one tiny journal so far so I'm very new to this but I get so inspired by Gayle. My sister got her husband involved in the search too - neither of them really knew what I was looking for but they did such a great job. I know I will make some tags, journal cards and collage.

[@impalamama7302]

@@donnakinmn1683 It will be a FUN FUN project to be sure! I just found a big bag of all the stuff I brought back from. 1977 when I went to England on a high school trip my senior year. I would love to turn it into a JJ someday. Happy Crafting!!!

[@craftydawk.janettedawkins7516]

Great ideas today tfs❤️

[@sallystepp1964]

Nails look great.

[@DanetteCox]

Gayle, you are so fun to watch. I am so familiar with your voice that I can fall asleep each night watching you and then have to go back and re-watch because I don't want to miss anything. I love your creative eye and showing us exactly how to do things or you learning something new and bringing us on the journey. Thanks again for making this your retirement. Danette

[@nameissturdy1390]

I’m watching older videos and just saw your comment. I frequently fall asleep with her videos on too. NOT an insult, just a soothing voice and the length is perfect. It’s like a friend telling you stories. Then I rewatch in the morning with coffee.

[@DanetteCox]

@@nameissturdy1390 Exactly, then I have to go back and watch it. Haha...

[@theolachapman6126]

This is a great project love idea thank you for sharing Theola 🎃

[@donnahunter3488]

I love watching you recreating ephemera. Everything that you need is always right there at the ready. You manage to have everything you need every single time! It’s amazing!

[@lalagamma4452]

Lovely to see your take on the ephemera!! Yours are yummy 😋☮️✌️💜

[@sonyasaville5042]

I enjoyed watching you doing the ephemera with book pages! I could use creating one for my baby girl junk journal book with vintage images of baby girls on it! - that I bought tons of vintage baby gurl cards to with it. I love vintage stuff!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@sonyasaville5042]

I also have vintage children books pages to go with that baby junk journal. How fitting for that theme for baby’s book. 😉😉

That was fun

oh my heck. I love it.

[@jilldiaz7546]

Love all this! I have tiny scallop scissors that I flip over to make my postage stamp edges... just a thought.

[@JeannetteakaJnett]

So bummed that I missed one of the bundles. Have notifications on and stalked the sight since you showed your haul and still I missed them...maybe I will catch something down the line. So love all the ephemera that you're doing.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Hi Gayle. I just made a scraps index card piece. I used the branding strips from the bottom of the Blue Fern Eclectic pack. It turned out sooooo pretty . I love it. I had turquoise thread in my sewing machine and I am surprised how great that looked. Thanks for creating that. (Excuse me, I forgot exactly what you called it.)

[@cathybarnett8107]

I love your videos! Thank you so much. I am one that talks to you. I know you can’t hear me but that’s ok! I appreciate you!

[@maraca5797]

Really enjoy watching you make all this ephemera. You are just full of ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@marylocke8185]

I had a great time watching you create today. I think I am going to have to try these. I'm not sure if I can actually do messy sewing... too many years of precision under my belt. But I will give it the old college try 🙂 have a blessed day!

Congrats on grand daughter winning the volleyball!! I was able to craft all day and sit down I have some news for you... I am working on an Christmas journal and I am going to write in it this year instead of putting it on my shelf. lol I can't hardly believe it either!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

You go girl!!! ❤️

[@Freespiritarts]

That ephemera you finished are wonderful!

[@lucy7b]

Thank you for yet another fun video. I think the word you were looking for was ‘autumnal’ not autumny. 😉🧡🧡. I loved your old books.

[@sharonmilner8540]

Love the 'Timmy case'. Gayle you make everything look so easy. Adding lace to pages and journaling cards is the best. Love it!!

[@vespermartini2556]

I think the 1st thing I started using when I first saw your video was the makeup sponge for stressing, best thing ever!!

[@donnatolle5389]

This makes me even more homesick to be at home playing and crafting along with you Gayle. I'm staying 24\7 with my dad . These were great fun.

[@theramblincrafter]

Great video! I finally was able to finish it, we were in the car all day yesterday, so I tried, here and there, but just didn’t happen...plus we slept in this morning (made it to 4:30 😂😂😂) So I was able to finish it early. Those dollar tree books, are something else! I bought one for my niece to cut apart when she was about 12, I didn’t realize until she was working in it that it wasn’t appropriate ☺️. Hope all is well! Love you muchly! ~~Chelle

I was so happy when I saw these! Thanks again for all that you share!

[@dianelodico2166]

Gayle, I was working on a journal during your video here so I was doing more listening than watching. You were talking about your grand daughter doing your make-up and using blending brushes. Then you said "she used staples." It took me a moment to realize you switched gears and were referencing a piece of ephemera, NOT that your grand daughter used staples while doing your make-up. I was a bit amused. I am 67 and you know, there are days I could use a staple here and there to tack something back or up while doing my make-up.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yep staples are a great idea! 😂😂😂❤️

[@MonicaGarciadivinelight]

Looking for things in your craft room that are right in front of you = me everyday!,😂😂😂

[@lynnsinclair123]

Mushroom love!

[@ticklishmoose]

I admire how straight you can cut with scissors!! My ‘freehand’ cutting is always wonky 😝 I have a question about book pages.... I have some children’s books from the 1800’s that were literally falling apart and in a big plastic bag when I rescued them at a tag sale. I got them with the intention of scanning them in to ‘preserve’ the book digitally- the pages are crumbling. Is paper in that bad of condition ok to glue down to cardstock?? I’m a big fan and would love some guidance on this. Thanks!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Oh I would think so! Gluing it to cardstock might even preserve it if you use a good glue like Uhu. ❤️

[@lindabounds7953]

How did the tree cutting go? We had several tall pines cut down that were too close to the house and worrisome in storms.

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Linda Bounds I have redwoods around my house, I don’t know why 25 years ago when I moved in that I thought that was a good idea. I had to have three removed. What was interesting when the arborist came out was I have a really large one close to the house and I was worried about it because it’s right by my bedroom and it could kill me in the night. She said that it’s so close and when the tree starts falling it starts falling really slowly so it would just slowly fall into the side of the house and then probably just slide down the side so that made me feel a little bit better than it wouldn’t just come crashing through because it couldn’t build up enough momentum.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Trees are down! House is still standing! ❤️

[@lindanagle3796]

Good morning Gayle. Loving the shabby chic look. The autumn journal is lovely. Just loving everything you did today. Thanks for sharing. Hugs❤❤

[@joannesmith4593]

I like the thought of using regular book pages for ephemera and not covering them up. It adds to the whole 'junk' idea in junk journals.

[@lynnecoleman1135]

Congratulations team!!!

[@michelledekker7654]

Lovd the ephemera pieces from the other day. I'm liking the touch of shabby chic to a few. I need to try shabby. Thank you for keeping me busy!

Did you. Do video on how you did the fabric I have a ton and wanted to do some

Wondering how your tree went? You were so nervous. ☺️

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Trees are down. House is still standing! 👍😁❤️

[@cwsowell]

I don't think you actually finished the backs of the corner pockets while you made them. You just picked up one of the book pages you had collaged on earlier for journal cards and decided to try cutting it on the diagonal for pockets so the backs were already done. At least that's how I remember it. And they turned out great!

[@tfntexas]

I had thought while watching you cut something out...I wonder who invented scissors and thank goodness they did! What would we do if we didn’t have them? Okay, enough weird thoughts for the day....great ephemera!

[@SammiJarrad]

💜😁👍🏻

[@suzannehalesuzzz4895]

Hey Gayle. I've noticed you use fabritac or glitter glue for fabric. Does it matter? Or is there a reason for the choice ? TY Loves

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Art glitter glue has a very fine line. When I need that, it’s my choice. ❤️

[@danacolosimo5874]

ohh, did you take a picture? You will love that photo for the Rest of your life~ and one with you and her to commemorate! so fun! I am a makeup cray cray person...
