Wow 11. That is fantastic news. Great video. Thanks for keeping me company while I craft a long.

[@donitamoore8123]

What better way to spend a snowy morning than watching Gayle create some wonderful journal covers! We may get 8+ inches of snow today so we are hunkered down watching it blow around an pile up. A good day to do some creating. Thanks for another fantastic video Gayle. Have a blessed day!

[@brookerohleder6769]

Beautiful journal ❤ cover from another August baby from 1957.

[@barbaraperna5536]

Love your Covers. I have missed watching you. Dealing with crazy weather events here in California. Hoping I will get to watch this week another big storm coming. Thank you for all the joy, relaxation and creativity you have brought me❤️

[@chrissimmons3856]

Thank you Gayle . Always enjoy ur videos and chit chat 🤣

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I’m catching up on your vids now after a serious distraction. It’s wonderful that this whole YT creation channel is there/here when I’ve missed a couple of daily vids. My stash of mailing envelopes is really adding up so you’ve inspired me to get those covers made or at least cut, reinforced with more recycled materials like the Tyvek packaging and postal mailers, and ready for dressing them up. 🦌💌❤️📚

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hope all is well, dear one! Thinking of you! ❤️

[@fernanton8370]

Hi Gayle, beautiful journal cover . 💞💕💞

[@chaselip]

Great video. Great job on both of them. So fun💝💝💝

[@sandratucker7096]

That cover turned out so nice. I wasn't sure how the different patterns were going to go, it seemed busy to me but you pulled it all together. Wonderful job

[@tinlizzie4444]

Love the valentine's cover Gayle!! The other is bold but can't wait to see how that one will come out!! Congrats on grandbaby #11!! I'm sure you will come up with a good nickname for this one!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

[@brendaalaniz3090]

I really enjoyed watching! And I didn't realise you had stopped talking because I was engrossed in your fussy cutting 😁

[@stephanieaddy7651]

This is so gorgeous, thank you for sharing x

[@crafterdeidra]

Aww Congrats on finding out you'll be getting grand baby number 11 in Aug of 2021. Loved how the covers came out. My favorite is the Valentine's Day one. Great craft with me video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@juneribbons5196]

I save packaging. I haven't used any of them yet. Thanks for showing us your take on Rachel's ideas especially the bubbelwrap one ! I've used the large envelopes though. Both are pretty, but I love the pink and white valentines es one best !!

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Congratulations on #11! I’ve been watching you for a year and somehow missed you had that many 😳. I’ve heard you talk about 4 or 5 of them regularly so I must have not paid enough attention 🤨. What a wonderful event to look forward to. 🥰❤️. That fabric is awesome!

[@Melinda-S]

Congrats on the upcoming grandbaby! ❤️

[@Chronically.sarahdayton]

I've been having a really really rough couple of days. I just wanted to say thank you for giving me joy! I look forward to your videos every day! They help me to calm down and relax, so thank you!! I could say thank you on every video, but it would never be enough to express it to you! I hope you are well!💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw, thanks Sarah! You hang in there, my friend! ❤️

[@darlenem4940]

Hi Gayle, your so inspiring to me. While watching I made my 1st shaker pull card. I got the clear part off a window from junk mail and put white beads in it (sealed up) and I'm using it in a Christmas journal I'm making.

[@JourneyofCrafting]

I love the covers!! Can't wait to see how the journals come out. You always do beautiful work. BIG HUGS my friend NaTasha

[@grahamfox931]

Hello Gayle, thank you for this wonderful video. Loved the covers you made, they were both soooo very pretty. Also loved your old dictionary, what a treasure. I am slowly catching up with all your past videos, being a newbie to your channel. I am loving it and am also learning such a lot. I am so pleased to have "discovered" you. Congratulations on the impending arrival of your 11th grandchild, you and your hubby must be over the moon, so very blessed. Sending love, blessings and hugs Diana Fox - Cape Town South Africa.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks so much, Diana! ❤️

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Congratulations again on #11. I grew up in Massachusetts and our senior trip was to Washington DC. Now I live about 24 miles south of it. We've gone in a few times while the boys were growing up. Love&hugs

[@lalagamma4452]

Hi and hugs 🤗 Sweet Gayle!! Congradulations on #11. Seems like Bucky was just a few days ago. Time flies my friend. The covers are beautiful. Becareful with the FabricTac Stefani from Coffee Paper Scissors got some on her mat and it took the white letters, lines and stuff right off.😍🐞🤗

[@volnh]

Really loving this cover!

[@pjtribble7214]

Congratulations Gayle!! Many blessings to you ALL! Have a wonderful, safe, healthy and blessed week! Peace & Blessings!

[@Cindykm70]

Gayle, I made a really nice and crinkly soft sided journal out of the Amazon packaging. It’s lovely and the sound is delightful. I use it for my collage prompts from Margarete Miller.

[@waboosje]

Hi Gayle, congratz on your 11th grandchild. When my kids were pregnant we used to nickname the baby in the belly a little guppy. My youngest granddaughter has her birthday today and sadly enough I can't meet up with her because of corona. What a beautiful fabric you got there, fantastic colours. I might try that movie you mentioned for I do have Netflix. I was not entirely sure about the different papers you combined on the front, each beauties but together a bit too busy for my taste. Then with the doily and that angel oh wow, how pretty that came together. Just love it.

[@dianepierson4687]

i clicked the like button instead of playing with bubble wrap. Just as gratifying. XX, D.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Morning sweet Tanna! ❤️

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Congratulations on #11. 11 is a lucky number in my life. My sister and I always used to catch 11:11 on the clock and when we did, we would tell each other I love you. She is no longer with us. Cancer took her 2 yrs ago now but the 11’s still pop into my everyday and I’m very blessed to be able to feel the love from heaven!! Sometimes it $0.11 change, sometimes it’s the time. So in my book 11= lucky. (Bucky and lucky!). Haha

[@judyglasson2119]

I like watching you make things and your giggle. You enjoy what you are doing. Those papers were pretty. Not the orangey/black ones. I always think of fires. Stay safe. judy.

[@sharontilyard949]

Such a beautiful cover Gayle and your second cover is coming along fabulously!!! I’m really enjoying watching the challenge videos!!! I’d love to give Rachel’s challenge a try but worry my ‘not enough hours in a day’ would hinder my participation lol. A Huge Congratulations on the news of your new Grandbaby!!! Such an exciting time for you all!!! Wishing your daughter a comfortable and easy pregnancy!!! Sending hugs your way, Sharon 🌷💕

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thanks, Sharon! I think you should jump in to Rachel’s challenge. No rules, so nothing says you need to every single one. Maybe just the ones that fit in! Big hugs to you, my friend! ❤️

[@sharontilyard949]

Ohhh - I hadn’t considered that @@gayleagostinelli_ct lol. I did hear Rachel say there are no rules but I hadn’t considered only doing some if it got too much. I’ll definitely consider that, for sure!!! Thank you so much for the suggestion!!! How fun!!! Big hugs sweet friend!!! Sharon 🌷💕

[@memccain68]

This is so pretty, can't wait to see more!

[@yvonnewrightfranklin8424]

Yes wishing the video's were longer. Love watching it all come together.

[@CoriDahmen]

Congratulations on #11! Hmmmm, stilts? Chopsticks? Cardinal? I’m certain you’ll land on exactly the right nickname. My beloved granddaughter was BB8 before she was born. Her initials are BB and she was due on the 8th. I thought it was perfect. Her mom didn’t love it so much and she (my Joani) was thrilled when Breck was NOT born on the 8th 😊 I also get a grandchild in August, my oldest (Matt) and his wife are having a baby for me. Well, for them too. Thank you for the movie recommendations... I need something to cheer me up because Breck went home after a 4 day stay. Beautiful fabric, beautiful covers and happy Monday to you.

[@twinels2]

That price for school trip is just crazy! We live near DC I guess. 2.5 hrs. We went in 1st grade. One of my few memories from childhood. It was majestic!

[@sarahsolomon9074]

Morning! I love love working with fabric so the second is my fav even tho they are both looking great. Have a great day!

[@sharontilyard949]

Ohhh Myyy Gosh Gayle... I’m rewatching this video and quickly browsing Etsy and just saw that MyPorchPrints have released a Bunny Fussy Cuts kit!!! They are the cutest!!! I heard, in one of your recent videos, you put it out there to digital creators to please offer such a kit so I just had to share lol. They are adorable!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

[@lynnecorkum9321]

Congratulations on another heavenly bundle!! Bigger congrats to your daughter for planning a wonderful alternative for the class trip (Grade 8 - $6000???). I love doing covers as well so always enjoy trying new things and these turned out great.

Hi Gayle that’s a good way to recycle. Congratulations to your 11th grandbaby I’m a year older than you because my birthdays in August 14 as well but I have eight children 22 grand children nine great grandchildren and two more on the way. Very blessed

Congratulations on grand baby # 11! We are waiting for news from our younger daughter who is trying to get pregnant! Grand babies are the best! We currently only have 2, twin girls, and we would love a boy! Can’t wait to see how the bubble mailers turn out.

[@robynrosenau5986]

Going to DC if fun, but I’m not sure now is the time to go. Between the virus and everything going on politically idk. I also heard most of the museums and things are closed. I can’t believe a school would as the parents to even think about a $6000 trip. That’s insane!! Congratulations on a new grand baby! So exciting!

[@sandradunaway3923]

Very lovely. Please tell your daughter and son-in-law congratulations.

I love it all too but reallyyyy like making covers too and tags

[@carolknixon936]

Its been 16 years since my husband and I went to WA DC and we still consider it our best vacation ever. We also sent our daughter on one of those school trips and it was maybe a $1000. Not sure exactly as its been probably 25 years and I know things go up but my goodness you can go to Israel on group trips for about $5500.

[@janicestouffer6699]

I had been wondering about using Amazon envelopes as covers. I was leaning more for the vinyl type. I guess it would be compared to to the paper one you did in how to do it. Congratulations on the 11th grandbaby!

[@cathygarrett8308]

I really love the blue orange fabric .would like to find out where you got it. Your work is always amazing.hugs

[@debbievanmeter-jerseygirl374]

Questions! 1) do you usually mod podge your paper covers? 2) do you usually sew through the core of your cover (when possible) or do you try and hug the edge of it?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

I used matte gel medium to cover over the cover. I’m not sure I’m understanding your second question. But I sewed the fabric cover on the edge of the envelope, so I catch the envelope in the stitching. Then I go around the outside edge with Fabritac to glue the front and back fabrics together. Hope that makes sense! I do have a playlist of Journal Covers that might be helpful. 😁❤️

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Congratulations, 11 is onety one.

[@pjsutton9091]

Whoa, that Itln. dictionary looked older than 1959...I thought you were going to say late 1800s. So, quick question & excuse me if you've talked about this b4. I have several OLD books I've collected over the years, some from late 1800s. When you ripped the page out of a nature book in one of your videos, I gasped. I can't get over my "books are sacred" frame of mind and it's hard to think of "disassembling them. Thoughts, ya'll....Tx.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Yes, being a big reader that’s been an issue for me too. I buy books at thrift stores, garage and estate sales that are one step from the garbage specifically for using for journal purposes. That helps ease my queasiness. 😁. Many of the books I find and buy are missing their cover, pages etc. I feel like I’m giving them new life. ❤️
