[@barblydell9800]

I'm especially loving the cover using the original book - that idea solves a dilemma for me! Thanks so much, Gayle!

Such a wonderful joy to watch such an artist at work! Thank you! Beautiful!

Definitely a labor of love. Thanks for videoing the entire process.

[@yvonnedebruin595]

Gayle I enjoyed that series so much, the journal looks wonderful.

[@ladyb7699]

Just Beautiful! Thanks for taking us along. I love the spine as is; doesn't need anything else. Ask your customer to give us a flip thru after she puts the pics in! ; ) lol

[@christel1841]

I have viewed all of this Christmas Journal in the new year which I have enjoyed so much...You have inspired me to start making journals...

[@donnagibbs5124]

Thanks for the journal journey! You are a marvel and a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to the flip through!

[@neppieb]

Love it Gayle. Thanks for showing how you build a Journal.

[@crochetingmemorieswithcj6408]

I love your tutorials. Another idea with your envelopes is to sew them down the middle to the page they are on.

[@JoAnn4gracenotperfectionm815]

Everything you make looks so professional and gorgeous!💕

[@greenfire6545]

Dear Gayle. My signatures safely sewn in. Thanks to your wonderful clear instructions. The journal itself a little bloody bcause of my poking tool. You make me giggle. Now its my turn. Love from South Africa.

[@blancaortiz7035]

Beautiful journal. Plenty of hard work but the end result is gorgeous. 👍🏻🙂

[@kimsilva4400]

[@deborahweilert9423]

Your journal...is gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing your process.

[@sunshinelynable]

Gayle, this has been such fun watching you create this beautiful journal. A suggestion....ink the sari silk to a brown or forest green....bit more manly!

[@debbiehays9194]

Hi Gayle, love your journal! I did want to share something with you and that is taking an old thick phone book and opening it in the middle. Then sit your signature (I clip them like you do) in the crack of the phone book when punching your holes.

[@karensumner3772]

THIS IS SO NICE-I SO ENJOY WATCHING YOU MAKE THINGS-I AM SURE THE PERSON WHO GETS THIS WILL LOVE IT-THANKS FOR SHARING-HAVE A BLESSED DAY

[@356richardsmom]

I had to laugh when I saw the cardstock you used with Gonzaga on it, I grew up there, but moved away when got married in 1981. My parents home.

[@kimcataldo3316]

This has been an incredible gift to watch you put this together. Thank so much. I might try putting a journal like this together on a much smaller and less grand scale! Lol!

[@karensallows9348]

A big beautiful journal. I loved following along while you made this, I hope you do this again. 😺

So what will I do now? This has been like reading a mystery! I am anxious to see the flip through! Beautiful!!! 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄

[@tonihopper8970]

Gayle, I know this is from three years ago, but I couldn't help but think you can use white out ink instead of a white ink pen for making your dots on dark fabric! I'm typing as I watch.

[@laetitiar2364]

The book is craaazy amazing ! ! ♥

[@elizabethkerckhoff1259]

Hi Ms.Gayle!!! I loved this series!!! You made a beautiful journal. The mother is going to have so much fun putting her son's pictures in.I can't wait to see your finishing touches. It looks great now, but I know your finishing touches always make it better! I still working in my room, the box is getting fuller, and I'm crafting with you, and so much to do still!! Ahhhhh!!! Big hugs Ms.Gayle!!! ~Liz~

[@janawilliams5808]

I love this memories journal. It is beautiful and you just make it all come together so well !!!! You make things look so easy. Lol. You can just whip it together in no time. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@dorothykovak4900]

Thank you so much! This series has been wonderful for this newbie to watch. I’ve learned so much and you’ve made it all seem so possible. I appreciate you sharing so much with us.

[@billiemobley6424]

Beautiful Journal!

[@rosbarkla9741]

Fabulous Gayle. Thanks for the tip re glueing the red and green envelopes down in the middle. Would not have thought of that.

[@lyndafleetwood5771]

I started off watching Part 6!!! So I went back and watched all the Parts of this series and love each and every one....love your work, your ideas, your talent. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge (tips and tricks) with us. The series is interesting and fun to watch. This journal is absolutely wonderful!!!!

Thank you for sharing the journey on this awesome project! Yes, I was holding my breath while you poked those holes through..lol. I'm looking forward to the flip through. In case you leave for your trip before I make it back here, travel safe and have a wonderful time! Hugs!

[@donnapusti7859]

A beautiful triumph! Thank you for sharing the whole process. I love that pine cone fabric on the cover. So glad you decided not to cover it. Hope your customer is thrilled.

[@bhutko1973]

Thanks for showing the jj process. It was a lot of fun to watch and learn from you. What a wonderful journal for your client. Love these types of videos. Enjoy your time away! - Becky

[@sundancesladytiffany3995]

Beautiful journal!!!!

[@dorothyfraser956]

I've loved the whole series! This journal is absolutely beautiful! Tfs

[@lunarbloom3587]

Really enjoying this series Gayle and the Journal is stunning 💓 from Australia

[@sharonpeck88]

What a beautiful journal. I like your idea of using fabric scraps for tag toppers. I've always used ribbon or twine so that is a great homespun idea to try out with my fabric scraps.

[@pamketron]

I have really enjoyed this series Gayle. I have all the things to make my first journal, just been learning how to do it. This has been such an amazing journey watching you create this work of art. I have learned so much from you and I am very thankful that you share your awesome knowledge with all of us. This is gorgeous. Can’t wait to watch the flip through❤️🎄❤️. Hugs 🤗

[@anita4291]

Awesome Journal!!

[@cindyw6922]

Beautiful book.

[@Myworldinokc]

so nice, love it.

[@emileechristensen7342]

Beautiful!!!!

[@michellewohlgemuth8847]

Awesome!!! Thank you!

[@RhomanysRealm]

I’ve enjoyed this series so much, it’s been amazing. I’m curious why you didn’t just binder clip the template to the spine and punch straight through? Then you wouldn’t need to worry about pens not working. Looking forward to the flip, it’s going to look amazing.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

RhomanysRealm just habit, I guess. We all get into our routines I think. As I always say, may not be the best way, but it’s Gayle’s way. Haha! ❤️

[@janfranklin6604]

Love it!!!! It's so gorgeous! And I learned so much!!!😘

[@jonichols4130]

Love it!

[@vickiegriffin9414]

I have been a “watcher” for a while now. I decided to try a snippet. Wow glue everywhere! Hope you don’t mind my terrible pictures. You inspire me.

[@vickiegriffin9414]

Well couldn’t figure out how to add the pictures.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Glad you gave it a try, Vickie! ❤️

[@maryg.249]

Thanks again for a wonderful series. I’ve learned so much from you! Btw...I had the same Christmas song book when I was little that you have in the journal!! Wow am I dating myself or what!! Have a great weekend! Blessings, Mary

[@lornamikkelson5690]

Just watching this again!!! Would taking some "white out" and painting across the holes work? Haven't got this far on my journal, but just a suggestion.

[@mprairiedale]

Thank you for showing the sewing part!! 👍I realize my struggles are due to too small of a needle!!

[@teresaware7211]

Just beautiful ! I have enjoyed this journal series so much! You make things look so easy and we all know that it isn't You're the best!!!

This was such s fun series to watch and I love how the journal turned out. Beautiful! Tfs

[@roseanndeighan5872]

Hi 😍😃 still watching your crafty JJ process, love it all 😻

[@QueenMabelandDoris]

I finished a mini JJ today using a different binding but managed to sew the middle signature upside down! I’ve loved watching your process and can’t wait to see the final flip. I need to wait to post my flip through as it’s a surprise gift ....Susie xxx💕

[@gloriaadams8776]

Gayle, I have so enjoyed this series. Your style makes me feel like we are friends getting together to craft, but I learn so much from you. Thank you. I do have a question. How do you do the post for the closure? Guess I missed that lol. Thanks again, looking forward to our next crafting session.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Gloria, you punch a hole and the post has a screw that’s screws in from the inside. Easy peasy! ❤️

[@gloriaadams8776]

Gayle Agostinelli where do you get the posts?

[@nanjohnson8186]

Loved watching this whole series! I look forward to watching you every day. Where did you get all that big bundle of Sauri silk? I can't seem to find the plain colors. Tfs

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Gosh, Nan, it’s been so long since I got the sari silk, I don’t remember which Etsy seller...but definitely on Etsy. Sorry I’m not more help! ❤️

[@nanjohnson8186]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct your good! Thanks for the info.

[@charlean_sherrod]

Thanks for sharing Gayle, did you show how you made the little red envelopes in the front and back? With the circle and threads. . I must have missed it. Hugs

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Charlean! Those envelopes on the front and back covers were from Graphic 45! Hugs to you, my friend!! ❤️

[@bethscott7268]

This is an awesome journal!

[@jessjtadesigns]

Thank you Gayle for this series! I love those dotted envelopes on front and back! Did you make them? I may have missed that🦋

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Jess jta designs the envelopes are Graphic 45. ❤️

[@jessjtadesigns]

Gayle Agostinelli oh thank you! Just watched your flip through, it's grand as ever!👏💕💌

[@rankinstudios5342]

Love this style of journal!!! Beautiful! ♥️

[@karmenburke6044]

Amazing! Love all of it! Where do you sell your journals?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Karmen! I have an Etsy shop. www.etsy.com/shop/CinnamonT I currently don't have any journals in the shop, as I'm working through a long list of custom orders at the moment. Thank so much for your interest! ❤️

[@Artpeacesbypam]

Hi Gayle! I just love every one of your videos. You voice is so calming and you make me feel like I can create anything. I have a question. I can’t find a “punch” to make the holes for my journals. I must be using the wrong terminology. Can you help me with this? I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Pam Peace I think you are looking for an “awl”. You can get them on Amazon. That’s where I got mine! ❤️

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

looks like this would have been a good one to use an attached spine piece! And sew the signatures to it first and glue that in....lol

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

521LakeStreet works either way! 😉❤️
