Will be looking for new journal ideas. Enjoy, because I know I will with whatever you create. Have never been disappointed with your creativity. Hugs ❤

Congratulations on receiving this priceless gift, couldn't have been given to a more deserving crafter!!!!!!

[@michelleadams9702]

This was AMAZING. Crafty friends are the best!

[@Angela152half]

Very nice gift from Mary. So glad to see the return of the faux front envelope.

[@JannyHaak]

WOW! Mary is so generous, and she shared it all with the right person! I'm sure you will also share Gayle, and do beautiful things with these gifts! I enjoyed watching you make the faux envelope, very pretty! 👌

[@ruthh.935]

Congrats to all on your new grandchild! The faux front envelope is a lot of work, but fun to do and a beautiful result.

[@robinpowell2712]

These Faux envelopes are the bomb! Mary was very generous.

[@belindaosgood]

What a wonderful box of goodies. Beautiful. I haven't seen your faux front envelope before, and it is GORGEOUS. Thanks for sharing your stunning ideas and for giving us all a peek into that box of JJ goodness.

[@artzology]

How generous of Mary to send you all that! I know you'll enjoy every piece! Love your faux front envelope! xo

[@gailstubbings8606]

Awww Gayle so many gorgeous things from sweet Mary. Can't wait to see what you make with them all. Xxx

[@LynsAlteredArts]

Wow what a lucky lady you are with such a fabulous gift from Mary and for your retreat buddies too. I’m thinking she’s going into some sort of fabric crafting with all the quilting in that journal. Have fun on your trip, give Bucky hugs from all of us.

[@daynakuenstler7512]

I love watching you unpack goodies and this one....whoa! Mary...Oh my goodness, your treasures are truly just that. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen! What a blessing to you and your retreat buddies, Gayle!

[@donnaward6158]

WOW! What wonderful stuff you got from Mary! I wish I had known about junk journals sooner. I've thrown away SOOOO much stuff that could have been used. Makes me almost ill!

[@melissakinnear828]

How very generous of Mary. I wish her all the best on her new endeavors, but hope she know she will have J/J in her veins. LOL! Gayle, what a beautiful envelope, Mary will love it! 👋&🤗

[@nildam.bonilla5849]

Oh my... Mary is so generous gifting you so many things to play with. As a beginner it fills my heart with joy knowing that I have found an amazing community

[@marynelson3592]

Hello, everyone! First, thank you, Gayle, for such a lovely unboxing! It's so much fun to give gifts to someone who shows so much love and appreciation for them. I am thrilled to share them with you and vicariously with your subscribers. :) And the faux front envelope, oh, my, I can't wait to see it in person. It's beautiful!! You are so talented!! As for me, my creative endeavors have brought me back to my first love...fabric and sewing, but especially making quilts. Thank you to everyone who complimented me on the journal I made. I have really loved making journals, but recently realized that I need to narrow my focus in order to really achieve the mastery I desire. Having said that, I do have a small inventory of journals that are collecting dust (not really, they're safe in a plastic tub) that would love to have a good home if anyone is interested. 😊 Again, Gayle, thank you so much!!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aw, Mary, thank you, my friend! The goodies are beyond amazing! I’m so grateful. And about those journals that are awaiting a new home in a tub. I bet anyone of my viewers would love them! I know I would! Maybe we can figure out a way for me to sell them on my Etsy for you? Never thought about that before, but I could do a video then list them. Think about it and let me know if I can help in any way. Big hugs to you!! 😘❤️

[@marynelson3592]

@@gayleagostinelli_ct Oh, Gayle, your generosity knows no end, thank you! My Etsy shop is still open, just empty. I just need to take photos and list the journals. But maybe you could give a shot out when I do?! Many thanks, my friend!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Novel Made New You bet, friend! I’d be happy to! Just let me know when you’re ready! 😘❤️

[@MonicaGarciadivinelight]

Wowie!! What a lovely happy mail/birthday present!

[@suzyemery]

[@millana6292]

Beautiful work.

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

What treasurers you received. Mary sure is one special gal. Loved watching and enjoying the "never before seen" envelope. I love your attention to detail (i.e. stenciling the hinges). Have fun holding your little guy.

[@JeanetteHouse]

[@happymaker2243]

Wow, such wonderful treasures from Mary. I really like her sweet quilted card and journal too. I enjoyed watching you make the faux front envelope with the tucked in tabs.

[@marilyntorsch3970]

That is so wonderful of Mary to gift her treasures to you Gayle. So much beautifulness. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@MusingsbyNikkiAdegun]

WOW, such an amazing box of goodness! That's going to be so. much. fun. Plus that sweet journal. Lucky gal! Love your envelope, I like the colors!

[@Freespiritarts]

What a wonderful blessing from Mary.

[@donnapusti7859]

I've loved these envelopes since the first time you did them. So fun and a great addition to any journal. The papers are so pretty, too. ❤️

[@livingbygrace5501]

Fantastic.! What a blessing.

[@nancykirk8913]

WOAH!!!!!! Unbelievably wonderful mail from the more than generous Mary!!!! Such rare and unusual finds she's giving up!! Hope she is continuing to do something crafty/fun because she must be super talented!! And, I LOVE your faux front envelope, it's gorgeous and looks so fun to make!!! Thanks again for an inspiring video!!! Hugs and love to you Gayle!!

[@bonneswartzfager4190]

Mary certainly found the right person to gift her treasures to. No one could be more deserving. How you share a video EVERYDAY is beyond me. I feel like we need a Mary's Treasure Book to hold those spectacular finds. You're not the only one who forgets how to recreate something. I have done it so often that now I make myself little sketches and directions even if the project seems simple. Now, to get those organized so I can find the correct directions when I need them. I think I need to start taking photos of finished projects for later reference. Your envelope is beautiful. I hope you get some hammock time during pleasant weather.

[@katpaints]

Before I don't get back to the comments again, I need to say WOW about the box of goodies! I actually started crafting along with you, pausing whenever I needed to! I NEVER have done that before! My inking skills have regressed way too much but I'm about done with the Faux Front! I was almost done when didn't realize I had juicy permanent ink on my finger and touched the front of the faux and now I have a spot that gets to be decorated! LOL! It isn't TOO bad but it will be most appropriate to put in my example book! LOL! I learned that most ink does NOT stick to those pretty varnished pages. Even permanent ink takes a while to dry....

[@NowTheresaCraftyIdea]

Amazing treasures from Mary. Her journal is great, don't stop Mary. Gayle I love that envelope. Perfect colours and great improvisation, love it x

[@lynnsinclair123]

What an incredibly generous gift from Mary! Thank you for sacrificing your hammock time so that we will still have our Gayle time while you're away.

[@CarolMartineArt]

Love the stenciling on the hinges, Gayle. You always manage to make me say (aloud) "you go girl"....Smiles, Carol

[@debbieflanagan7788]

Mary is so generous and you are so deserving. Thank you for the faux front envelope instruction, I'm inspired.

[@lindasonnenberg3704]

Well, that was cool! Such happy colors Gayle!

[@vickieb2917]

It’s like you won the junk journal lottery! Mary is wonderful to gift you with her stash. Love the envelope you are making, can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@cindymorris4691]

What a wonderful gift! So many crafts to do & so little time! I can understand Mary deciding to move into another medium, but she definitely has talent! I do so many different crafts & struggle what to do sometimes. I just started my 1st junk journal & my sis-in-love I had a blast doing it over a weekend together! Your videos are so wonderful & helpful in learning this “new to me” craft!

[@lorigoodman3780]

Mary you left me speechless with your very generous gift box of awesome goodies for our friend Gayle!! I'd love to know what your creating now days... Gayle I love the faux front envelope!! Guess what I am making tomorrow while watching your video??? I even have everything I need except for the tab punch. Good thing for me that hand made tabs are easy. lol

[@marystevick8947]

Wow what gifts. You’ve been blessed. Happy Birthday too. I’d love to run my hands all over those tags. Love them. Great ideas. TFS

[@delgadojmar]

What a blessing MARY was to you. Crafting folks are amazing...Janet

[@loripadilla669]

The may have been the happy of mail to top all happy mails. You are right, this is a junk journaler's dream come true. What a wonderful gift. tfs

[@ruthannamarteifio2521]

Oh my! What a wonderful present from Mary. And the journal she made you is fantastic. Too bad she's giving this art form up; however, from seeing what she can do, I'm sure her next adventure will also be a success! She will love your present to her, also, Gayle! :)

[@eileenpawluk6455]

You've won the Lottery as far as vintage stuff goes for sure Gayle! My goodness, I wish I received 1/4 of what you did from some someone! ** Oh wait! My fabulous husband went to an Antique store a bit ago and brought home 14 LIFE Magazines from the late 30's to early 40's. Such amazing ads, etc. Gotta L❤VE him❣❣😀

[@dianelodico2166]

How lovely a gift that is. I have found the journaling community to be generous and a sharing bunch of people. I experienced much the same when I was quilting for several years. Makers have heart! Enjoy Gayle.

[@2ndChanceCrafting]

Gayle I have enjoyed making these since you first one. They are so fun to make and easy and look great in Junk Journaling. So excited for baby to come! My twin boys are 25 and both have girlfriends sooo---lol probably jumping the gun here. Thanks for awesome video's!

[@Jenny-W1910]

WOW is right! how kind, sweet, thoughtful, and generous of Mary to send you all these treasures! Looking forward to hearing what direction she is heading to next. the journal she made for you is just darling, and that mechanical pencil like your dad had-how special that is! tfs with us gayle, i was smiling the entire time as you "ooohed and ahhhed", mary really knocked it outta the park! i don't recall ever watching your faux front envelope video before so i'm super excited to see this (and will go back to watch the other one) it's so pretty and has so many options and possibilities! so happy to hear double digit and mom are home :)

[@maggieflatt9686]
