"I have a little cup for your popcorn, your peanuts, your snacks" O! M! GEEEEE! I laughed so hard that I'm crying! I can SO RELATE to you! Thank you, Ms. Gayle!!! I needed a good laugh-cry. Thank you for being you and for sharing so much with us. You're simply amazing!!! 😊💗🌹

[@user-ln8ox5dx7r]

It is May, 2024 and I am new to your channel. I want to say that your laugh is addictive and your creativity is inspiring. It cheers me up.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

The little round tags are adorable. And the bulb pin as an attacher is super cute. 🤗

[@scraplady51]

What a cute way to use those little metal rimmed circles. For some reason, back in my scrapbooking days I bought a zillion of them in every size available . I'll never use them all, but this will be a start!!!

[@deborahsmith5036]

Sooooo many ideas, so much inspiration and a little bit of laughter thrown in. Thanks Gayle, loving the ephemera series and I’m going to do an ephemera ideas book as well. Great ideas. Sending you bouquets to brighten your snowy days. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@sharontilyard949]

Ohhh Gayle - your videos are always sooo inspiring and lots of fun!!! The ephemera you made is gorgeous and I almost sprung out of my chair to do a ‘Happy Dance’ 🤣🎵💃🏼 when that paper folded correctly!!! Wishing you happy and safe travels!!! I look forward to catching up on the other side and hearing your travel stories!!! Big hugs, Sharon🌷💜

[@cathybarnett8107]

I have to say I laughed so hard with you folding that paper. Thank you for being you and sharing your talent with us. I watch your videos over and over.

[@cheryl2455]

OMG! You are hilarious folding that piece for your envelope! Made my brain hurt too! I was still trying to figure it when boom you had it! Great tutorial! Love that funky thin paper! I was thinking how gorgeous it would have been with a contrasting darker color for the envelope one to help highlight that beautiful paper! Great job Gayle! Thanks for sharing!

[@lindarussell620]

You did a great job Gayle. Love this series you are doing. So inspiring. I am also glad you can hear us yelling at you how to do things. lol Tfs

[@janetduchamp872]

The folding of the paper was funny LOL 😂. You did great I would have given up. Love the way that came out.😊❤️

[@juliestine1235]

Gosh you are so busy!! And it looks like getting to be even more busy,! Very exciting Gayle!....lovin’ it!

[@tuesdaymoriarty8655]

Imma make the three envelope card and the pocket too! Gayle, you were going along so well with folding that last piece and I was soooo impressed with you because I know sometimes those kind of items befuddle you. Then you hit the wall!!! 😆 Love how you always stick with those tough ones and figure them out. Thanks again for another fun video. You always brighten my day 💕

[@evypetre949]

I love them all but the one you called Grungy Grungy, I love so much. It’s fabulous. Love your work Hugs ❤️❤️❤️

I love crafting along with you Gayle 😍

I have no idea Gayle if there was an easier way but when you said here is bowl for peanuts I couldn't help but laugh out loud! You are awesome! Thank you for making me laugh!! and for all you teach!

[@donnaburrows8686]

Gayle I love all of your videos. I’m watching this one at 1.45 am, trying not to laugh and wake up hubby sleeping beside me. That was so funny watching you folding the paper for the tuck spot. Keep em coming please! Hugs from Australia 🤣

[@sonialynnstation9905]

Hi Gayle! I love your channel! I have been AWOL for a long time. It is my fault. My life is so crammed full of stuff! You are greatly motivating to the world of craft! Thank you for your wonderful contributions!

I wish I could like this one twice!

Talk about entertainment, that paper folding was awesome ha ha

Stay warm Gayle! 90 degrees for over 90 days here in Georgia. I miss the snow. I love journaling with you and hearing about your family. Thanks for sharing!

[@billiejoethomason6075]

Cynthia Agee, I know 91 days of over 90 degrees into October. Unusual for Georgia. 20 degrees cooler yesterday a welcome change. Not ready for snow yet but definitely ready for Fall.

[@gwenmoody8323]

Love them all

[@missdestiny2008]

I enjoyed your video! A greeting card journal!, what a wonderful idea!

[@teresaware7211]

Can’t wait to hear about meet and greet and pictures!!

[@marthamanigross]

O M G. I’m in bed and it’s 11 pm. Trying soooo hard not to shake the bed. “Oooo oooo ooo there it is”. OMG. 😂🤣. Good job my friend. Loved the paper you were working with. Was thinking what great paper for behind things on clusters and collage. Love all the journals you got sewn together. Hope you had a super trip and all went well and it was fun. Looking forward to hearing all about it...no pressure, but we all expect a lot of fun stories! 😉. Hugs. 🤗

[@michellnav]

Gayle - first let me say it was awesome to meet you & your family in Colorado! I had such a great time. And Bucky is the cutest little thing! I can't wait to try making these ephemera, especially those little round tags that everyone seems to have but not sure what to do with. Second - with cutting the right measurements, I know you must have your cutter memorized on where the numbers are, cause I don't see any numbers on that guide! I would never cut anything correctly cause it's hard enough with the numbers!!!! :-). Thanks again for always inspiring me & for the laughs. - Michell

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

And it was so great to meet you, Michell! You are such a light filled lady! Thank you so much for coming! I’m so happy to know who you are when you comment! Big hugs to you, my friend! ❤️

[@carolstern3647]

Thank you..loved all of ephemera..your so adorable and funny..tfs..especially loved the 3 tier envelope pockets x👌😁💗🌺💗

[@marymcmullen6902]

Too funny Gayle.....made my brain hurt too 😂. Loved the simple little key tag embellie. 😊

[@NowTheresaCraftyIdea]

Love those pockets and the paper you used was gorgeous x

[@cynthiahowell2381]

Fun, fun, fun and funny. You are origami challenged. Love that specialty paper you used.

[@lynnsinclair123]

I so felt your pain while you attempted to fold the paper (and, sorry, I also laughed at your pain). Made me think of how happy I am that we now have GPS's, and fold-out maps are a thing of the past.

[@jbeaudi]

These were fun although I may think twice before trying the little triangle origami thing! Thanks for sharing!

[@donnacarraway9182]

LOVE the Christmas card journal!!

[@nancykirk8913]

Lordy mercy, I sure enjoyed a hearty laugh and needed one, so thanks for that!!!! If it were me I would have still be trying to figure out that folded paper thingie!!! I'd just as soon try origami as that, seems as hard!!! LOL!!!! You are more than precious and your laughter is so fun and I laugh longer and harder with you!!! Love your fascinating stories about your day to day life, having the 2nd. half of the pizza from last night is exciting news for us normal everyday people, so thanks for sharing!!!! And, how the pizza delivery guy was dressed , an extra bonus!!!!! Makes my day!!!! Because I love your normal (I can relate) stories and that's why we all love you because you are so real!!!!! Hugs to a great, wonderful lady with the heart of gold....our Gayle!!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I just love you, Nancy! You make my heart feel good! ❤️

My list of projects is growing thanks to you. I have some key tags here. yay! I made stew for dinner, but you have me wanting pizza now. lol

[@vanessarussell7997]

Tjank you for more things to make. Love it .

[@dottygin]

Oh my goodness Gayle you did it again, had me laughing. I doubt you will remember this one as its 2 years old. its the paper folds that makes your head hurt. lol so funny, its right at the end almost. the envelopes placed like that is great, and the other ephemera. Will be going onto my craft room soon to have ago at that. Thanks Gayle for these lovely videos and the laughs. xxxx

[@NotYourPerfectJournal255]

Wow Gayle you have been busy. They are all very nice.

[@tracyvernon2426]

Oh Gayle,you are something else! you do make me smile :D next....

[@vickiejensen1265]

More great ideas! I'll have to try them. Very cute :) TFS

[@CarolMartineArt]

And aren't we throwing origami into our bag of tricks....smiles, Carol

[@JeanetteHouse]

When you were folding that last bit of paper, I was like, noooo! Stop making me laugh! I’m down with the flu and every time I laugh, it makes me cough! 😂🤧😷🤣 I think you should totally adopt a dog!! He or she would be so happy to go walking with Mr A every day! There are so many sweethearts in rescues that are desperate for love and a home, and you guys would be saving a life and healing a heart. 💗 I have a friend who adopts only elderly dogs and loves them to bits through their twilight time. It’s super tough on the heartstrings because they have less time with you but I can’t imagine anything more rewarding than knowing they had love and lived their best life at the end. 💗

[@lindarussell620]

I am laughing with you. I am shouting the same thing at my computer and she finally hears me. lol I am also sick and the cough is killing me but I could not stop giggling at Gayle.

[@MsCarolinaDreamz]

Wow. We get to cough while giggling and Gayle is out of town. She drew the tall stick. I think I get like this with weather and temperature changes. If it snows in the south, I will become a permanent indoor girl. I was giggling that she had pizza delivered.. Where I live, a threat of possible snow, closes schools and shuts down cities. We do not have road clearing equipment. Last "snowmageddon " everything closed! The city closed! You know it's bad when the truck stop and Walmarts are closed. I think we had 6 to 8 inches on our back patio! Being so close to the ocean, we had to wait for emergency inland South Carolina road equipment to clear the interstate. They do not clear on/off ramps so the city stayed closed. Haha. Staycation!

[@NancysFanciesDesign]

Hi and hugs to Gayle! I hope you had a great meet and greet session!

[@juneribbons5196]

In MT you don't wait to shovel or snow blow. You do it right away. I lived in Libby from Aug of 1964 to Oct of 1978. Most people had snow blowers I love that journal. Maybe you could just make a pocket out of the triangle mod podge and a glue the whole back to the page. Make the tag in the shape of a triangle too. Just a suggestion. Never seen a peice like that before either. I love your videos. This my second time watching this video. I liked it just as much the first time as I did the second time. You're awesome. Thanks !!!

[@soal3415]

I love these things!..thank you so much for doing the work to share with us ♡ I know what I'll be doing this winter ♡♡♡

I was rooting for you Gayle, "Fold it in! Fold it in!" The pockets are really nice and you sure made them out of beautiful papers. Love the tags too.

[@karensumner3772]

LOVE YOUR PROJECTS-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

[@paulaniemeyer1925]

You absolutely crack me up.😂

[@clc3897]

We have an adorable little Maltese. He is the best road companion. When we go on vacation we usually travel 12 hours in the car and he is absolutely the best. Maltese dogs do not shed and they are hypoallergenic. When it comes to health issues they have none. The only thing they require is grooming and daily face wash. They are bred to make superb companions. So you will often find him sitting at my feet and following me everywhere I go. Maltese dogs do not need that much exercise so they make excellent companions for anyone with a simple calm lifestyle. I don’t know what life was like before we got him.

[@vikkimcglen2925]

You had me laughing folding that paper, love your videos x

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

These are great thanks! Every time you use your cutter I worry that you can't see the numbers but you always get it right!

[@morningflowerB]

Love the journals! Gorgeous 🌺

Those little tags are great!...Janet

[@suzyemery]

Love all of of the journal covers! I never knew that junk journals would be one of my favorite things! With the help of Gayle A!! Thanks for all you do! Luv n Hugs ❤ Suzy x

[@craftydawk.janettedawkins7516]

Knew you’d get the fold in the end. Well done 👏👏👏👏👏 I was cheering you on 😘

[@amberharms1980]

I'd recommend getting a puppy. Yes they are more work than adults but the adults from a shelter are harder work because you have to form a bond with them. I got an adult awhile ago and he didn't ever stay around the house so we ended up having to get rid of him. I also got a puppy from the shelter and I had that dog for 15 years. One of the best dogs I've ever had. Now I have Australian Shepherds and I love them!!! It would take a lot for me to get a different kind. The folding of the paper though 🤣 it was making my brain hurt too just watching you!!

[@caridavila2071]

really love watching you!! you make me giggle!

[@swenstrand]

My ephemera sample book is coming along quite nicely! I’m so glad you’re doing this series. Thank you!

[@SammiJarrad]

So much ephemera, so much inspiration, so much fun! Thank you so much Gayle! Big hugs! 😘💜👍🏻

[@MsBuddy16]

You really got some work done with all those signatures sewn in! Hey, I have a bundle of those little round tags, and now I know what to do with them! How about on ring journals , too, or tassel toppers. Wish I could work as fast as you! Jealous of your early snow, but then Missouri is unpredictable. It could happen, even though we set an all time high (90') last week.

[@jinxmestudio8380]

That quilted journal is gorgeous! Elk they’re all lovely but that one sure stands out to me. Keep being you Gayle. I could craft with you all day.

[@robinpowell2712]

I bought an envelope punch board at Tuesday Morning. It's not black though. I have been afraid to try it. Going to try it today. Thank you. Fun ephemera once again. On another note, I think Mr. A should make a cookbook that you could sell on your website. 😀

Another selection of cute ephemera. "Hubby's lightly talking so I'm searching internet for dog names". - I think you've bought in to the idea, lol. ;)

[@adriawofford5715]

LOL I left the living room where I had you playing on the TV and put you on in my craft room without turning the first one off. My husband just walked in from outside and said "hey, it's dueling Gayles!" That really tickled me.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Lovin the round tags with bulb pins. I dont have any round tags but I might just punch some round circles out and make faux ones. Hope your trip is going well.

[@vintagecolors506]

I love this ephemra series. I have trouble embellishing my journals. This is really helping me. And I love crafting with you..

[@theresasuttle711]

I’ve been making the key tags for a while and use tiny stamping to decorate also! So sweet! (You can tarnish the metal by soaking in vinegar just be careful when the paper is saturated). Oh my gosh I could feel your pain trying to fold that journaling tuck!!!!! Sometimes I think I see things backwards!!! Thanks again for a great video. I can’t believe it’s cold and snowing anywhere. I’m afraid the kids are going to have to trick or treat as swimsuit models and life guards here this year! Little to no rain and hot, hot, hot. Maybe by the end of Oct. it will cool off some. 🤞🏻 Your meet and greet is over by now a couple of days! Hope you had fun and are enjoying family time!!!! Thanks for recording ahead!! 😃

[@lyndafleetwood5771]

These are great pockets. Oh yes, you need a dog - they bring such joy to a home.

[@charlottemarek3045]

I have some of those little metal-rimmed key tags, too...they've been sitting in my "Tags" drawer for a couple of years because I didn't know what to do with them. Some have string, and some have the metal rings. Thanks for the cute, easy way to make them fabulous. I watched a video of someone making a huge 3-panel greeting card with that difficult fold. She said to just keep working it until it falls into place...and you did! :-)
