People make slips of the tongue every day. Literally, every day. Everyone should keep a record of everything they say for a day. Hopefully no one criticized you. Making a gentle joke about it, i.e. laughing WITH you, would be a nice gesture :) But it's difficult to hear intent when it's "said" in writing. I don't often make comments because I'm busy crafting along... but I thought I'd tell you that when I start one of your videos, after you introduce yourself, my husband and I both repeat "It's Gayle!" trying to imitate your voice because it puts us in a good mood. Listening to you is like a walk in sunshine. Thank you for sharing your work -- and the contents of your brain!
Hello gayle. What a whole bunch of mass making embellishments ! That’s so fun Could you explain the credit card thing that you make reference to it for making tag please ? I am quite new to journaling and never heard of that 😉
@@Virginie.Bergar.artist it’s cutting the slants for each side of the tag into an old credit card. You can do different size slants on each corner. When making a tag, you use the credit card as a template to cut the slants. 😁❤️
I feel like there is a segment of people on social media who use it as a way to vent. It is a very sad trend of calling out and criticizing and embarrassing others. They write things they would never say in person because they are sort of anonymous. If I don't like someone's video, I just turn it off. No need to try to shame them. My motto is "Be kind or go home".
Ooh, A Surprise Giveaway! Great idea and so fun! between the two videos you have produced a bumper crop of ephemera but knowing a journal takes so many pieces you need a huge stash. Thanks Gayle for your kindness.🥰
Surprise giveaway, I love it. I spend hours watching you and several other papercrafters. Love all of you and my favorite is always the one I am watching ! LOL.. And I am always kind, never say anything negative. It’s easier to just turn the video off. Must be lots of unhappy people in this world. Love you Gayle.
I've been a lurker here for several months, trying my best to learn from Gayle's amazing knowledge and talent. Thank you, Gayle, for generously sharing your craft and putting up with the trolls who always seem to pop-up in every online community. And please enter me in your surprise give away.
There must be a rash of negative comments going around, Roxy mentioned the same things, so did Louise From Hochanda, had her in tears. I don’t get it. I have been in my house for a year and watching everyone is like having friends crafting with me. Love you and your channel Janice
You just crack me up, Gayle! I love it when you say to “talk amongst yourselves “. I hope I win the surprise giveaway so I can stop my husband from ( just one time) saying “ I can’t believe you are watching the same thing over and over” I watch you a lot! This is my 1st comment,ever,anywhere!
So, for REAL artists, in whatever form, correct or incorrect, you get things done, for us everyday. I guess, it takes all kinds, Gayle. Once again, you helped save my life, at a time when I needed, someone wonderful, interesting, and very knowledgeable in a new art form for me to take up. So I thank you and my family, thank you and admire and are in awe of our “Gayle”. P.S. Love you and bless you.
I watched and listened. Those people that have negative comments, there is a problem with them. Let it go, has hard as it is. I think your energy is wonderful and positive. You are one of my favorites that I watch. Continue on! Thanks for the surprise giveaway. Carol from California
It would be such a honor to be part of your “surprise giveaway”. You are so inspiring. I have watched all your videos and learned sooo much. Thank you Gayle! Congratulations on your 45k subscribers
The way I talk is the #1 reason I could never do a TH-cam channel! The people who complain that they don't like your project because it is green are missing the whole point. You are giving inspiration by sharing what you do. Those people are negative and close-minded. I've watched projects that maybe I wouldn't want to do but still came away with a new idea. I'm not watching others just to copy exactly what they do. Congratulations on all your accomplishments here. Good luck to those who enter your giveaway!
I'm of the same mind as you Gayle, read and then wave them goodbye. Negative comments say more about the writer than the subject. Thank you so much for the surprise giveaway, I'd love to be included 😊
Hi Gayle! People are too sensitive and don’t realize how hard it is to be live, work on and project and carry on a conversation all at the same time! I admire you for what you do. Thank you for the SURPRISE GIVEAWAY! You are the best!!
Lol. I laughed so hard when you said it. Almost made a comment but figured you’d get enough. I just love what little funnies you say, those who love you, just smile 💕
I am so excited about the SURPRISE GIVEAWAY. This is a perfect perfect gift. You choice of which size of paper to use for making ephemera helps me decide. Gayle, your are an amazing person and we love you for just being you. Thank you for the videos you have made all these years. It is so generous of you to share your art with us. ❤️❤️
You are so funny! "Ta-da, it's an envelope!" That just means you're a master journal crafter at repurposing things! Congratulations on your following- it's no surprise such a kind lady has attracted bees to honey. Please enter me in your surprise giveaway!
I love the folded tags! Such a fun idea. One of the things I like most about watching your channel is how you talk through your ideas for things. Thanks for the show and tell of your boxes that are overflowing with crafty goodness, and thank you for the opportunity with a surprise giveaway. :o)
Oh my word....The person who didn't like the way you say your S's would really hate me. HAHAHA I have a thick southern accent. I drop g's on most words. My words are drawn out and half the time, my own family that lives in Oklahoma, can't understand me. HAHAHA example: jeet = did you eat At 58 years old, I don't see it changin' any. HAHAHA Have a blessed day!
I love regional dialects and a strong Southern accent is wonderful! I am lucky enough to have Eudora Welty reading “Why I Live at the P.O. “ and it is one of my favorite things to listen to when I need to smile. 🥰. I have lived in California all my life, so I have no accent at all.🤣
Oh Gayle and you tube crafters bring me so much joy......whiling away an afternoon and learning from you gals is a treasure.....happy to know you guys won’t go away because some folks are unappreciative,..I cannot imagine trying to film,chat, and share your awesome talents....👍💕❤️💕❤️
People are something else. I mean, seriously, it's not like you have, oh, I don't know...45 THOUSAND adoring fans! Thanks for taking us along on your journey, Gayle! I'd love to be part of your Surprise Giveaway!
Congrats, first of all for having 45,000+ subbies.That is such a great honor. We all love you. My husband even recognizes your voice. Also, thanks for the "surprise giveaway" to whomever wins it. You are so kind and you just make each day so much fun.
Yet another great thing I’ve learned from Gayle. Make quick decisions and don’t perseverate! I found myself questioning every little choice of paper, cut, shape, then regretting my choice Which makes it stressful and NO FUN. After watching you choose and move on, I’m no longer doing that and am finding the JOY again. THANK YOU, Gayle! #perfectionismisnofun
I wouldn't mind being in your brain! You have so many great crafting ideas in there! Don't pay attention to negative comments. My word! It seems these days you can't say anything without people taking it the wrong way. I liked the "good old days"! Thanks for being there everyday for us. Your videos are definitely a part of my daily routine.
These 2 videos using up all the off-cuts were so inspiring. Wonderful ideas for using the left-overs. And now a surprise giveaway makes it all the more wonderful.
Oooh. A surprise giveaway. Yes please. I seriously don’t know how you craft and talk at the same time. We are not here to judge you ( well the majority of us anyway). We love you so much and all that you teach us and do to inspire us every day. Hugs 💕 Veronica
Oooo surprise give away..... I get too excited when the little bell tells me that you have a new video to watch. I finished my very FIRST journal because of watching your videos. So thank you for what you do and sharing your skills with us all.
Hahaha! You are really human. I love that you let us see your miscalculations. We don’t feel so bad when we mess up. Love your videos. I’m 72 and always learn something new. Please just ignore the negative idiots.
Thank you for inviting us into your online home and sharing your crafty-ness with us. I love all the ideas!!! I'm sorry that folks feel they need to criticize. The world needs much LESS judgement and folks should extend MORE grace to others. If everyone was "kinder than necessary" the world would be a much better place.Thanks for the surprise giveaway!!!
Gayle, it's beyond me why people feel they have to be so critical, especially in a mean way. Thank you for rising above what these people have to say, and for being so loving and encouraging in what you do and share. I would love, love, love to be included in your surprise giveaway! I'm blown away by how much ephemera you have! That said, keep it up! I love your videos, but watch them on my TV as a rule, so can't comment there. Sending you love and best wishes for a Happy Easter and joyous spring, Sandra
I agree with you, totally, Sandra. I don't understand those people! But it may be what Carolyn said below: they use it as a way to vent because they are basically anonymous. But they need to look at THEMSELVES!!
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I've learned from you and this channel. Not just information about paper craft but also some good films and tv shows to watch You and Your husband have a similar taste to us over here. It's been like sitting with a friend, something in short supply during this pandemic. You're kind and generous to offer us not only your time, talent and attention but also the chance to win a "surprise giveaway". Looking forward to many more videos!
I can't see why anyone would be negative to you. You are so sweet and caring! As for people telling you how to do things, I thought there were no rules in junk journaling! I love that ! I also love a surprise give-away! Thank you!Take care!
Talk amongst yourselves Is hilarious every time but especially today when you ran to get a ruler and the mat your working on has it printed right on it. You crack me up. As for the way you talk, It must not bother me because I can binge watch older videos for five hours easy peasy. Please enter me in your Surprise Give away. and looking forward to my next binge watching session. I get so many ideas from your work.
Dear Gayle, It is always pleasure to listen to you. I heard how some people comment the way you talk, things you say...but I mostly watch you (beside your beautiful craft work and surprise giveaway - let me try to get something so beautiful, who knows...) because I feel like I have a friend in USA who doesnt know about me. But we (your viewers ) know a lot about you and your life, and I admire you and your energy and you are part of my life and I always look forward to your everyday videos. You are an awesome lady :)
Hi Gayle, I love watching your videos and could listen to you talk all day long, I love your accent. You make me laugh when you go off on the hunt for something and tell us to “talk amongst ourselves “. I also enjoyed part one. Don’t take any notice of the people who make negative comments, they really should get a life. I’d love to be included in the surprise giveaway. Luv and hugs. Xx
Geez....Gayle, you are awesome sauce with a cherry on top. Please just continue to do you. It’s creative, it’s thoughtful, it’s inspiring. You doing you brings joy so many.
It has taken me over a year to use up my scraps after I finally got organized it made it so much easier..now I get to start with new, I promised myself I was not going to use any new..so happy I'm at the end, but I was also shocked at how much I was able to make from scraps watching crafters like you😊
Your channel is the only one I make sure I watch every day. You are very encouraging and supportive and so full of great ideas that your videos lift me up and inspire me to create. The day doesn't feel right till I've watched a little Gayle! Thank you for the surprise give away. Very kind and generous of you Gayle!
Thank you for sharing your process with us as well as chatting to us - don’t let the ugliness in some people take away the beauty in you … you be you !!
Awww Gayle, what a lovely surprise giveaway! I don't find these videos hard to watch or boring, it's all about the process and every one has its own charm.
I just don’t understand how people can be negative! I also watched that video and I’ve heard several crafters mention this lately ! I thought she hit it right in point ! Why can’t we all just be kind! What you and others do for us with your talent and tutorials is priceless! I agree delete !!! It makes me sad that people have so much time on their hands to complain ! Thank you for all you do !! ❤️ thank you for the surprise give away chance !!!! You are amazing 💜
Oh Gayle, you bring me such joy. When I heard you tell why you started this adventure on TH-cam, my heart melted. I believe that, if every person lived with kindness in their hearts, our world would be a better place. Your surprise giveaway is such a treat. Thank you for your gentleness and sharing. Congratulations on 45,000!
I saw the same you tube lady address the rude comments and thought the same as you. I never understand why people are so rude. She was bold and called them on it! So excited about the “Surprise Giveaway!” You are so sweet!
Thank you so much for everything you do. I live alone and I have been working for home for nearly a year. So every day, I look forward to the hour I get to spend with you. Thank you for sharing yourself and all your great ideas with us! And thank you for offering such a wonderful surprise giveaway!
Ohhh. So exciting. Yes, please enter me in your Surprise Giveaway. Wow Gayle, 45,000. That's incredible. I love just watching you and listening to you chatting away and obviously, so do thousands of others. And Gayle, I believe it's because that they just love you for who you are. So you just keep on keeping on. You're doing a great job!
I love Scrappy Saturdays and so part 2 made me happy. I saw the video you are talking about and I was glad she addressed that. It really does blow my mind that people can be so negative and go out of their way to be critical. Thank you for all you do because I have learned a lot from you and now I have a hobby that makes me happy. Congrats on 45,000 and how nice of you to have a Surprise giveaway!
Surprise give away -- Iove my Gayle time, I consider it an opportunity to focus on a fun way to learn new stuff & stay motivated. I'm always in awe of you being able to pull ephemera and move your journal along. Thank you so much for all you do.
I would love to be a part of your 45K subbies. SURPRISE GIVEAWAY! Way to go Gayle! We love it! I was raised, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I do book reviews and there are plenty of books I have not cared for, but I still try to find something positive to say about the book vs. the negative. The writer spent hours doing what they love, so acknowledge that.
This was fun and I scraped along with you using my scraps and made all the things you made so thank you:):) and thank you for the SURPRISE to all of us and for bringing kindness to every video you make...very much appreciated!!! TFS
Love all of your great ideas for using up those leftover scraps of scrapbooking paper. Thanks so much for having an ephemera surprise giveaway - count me in! I think I've been watching you for about four years (with a little hiatus in the middle). I watch you and one other junk journal crafter every morning. You are so positive and such have such a kind soul. Listening to you first thing starts my day off with a smile!
Gayle I love everything about you... especially your sharing spirit. I can't start my day without you and a cup of coffee...pure bliss. Thanks for the SURPRISE GIVEAWAY!
Congratulations on your 45,ooo subscribers. You were the TH-camr who gave me the courage to try and make my first junk journal. You are positive and personable in your videos. That's what helped me make the decision to try and make that first project. I tried a small booklet and it turned out surprisingly easy and nice. That was at the start of 2019. Since then, watching your channel as well as others, I've made several more "books". I've even discovered my own personal style in making these projects. Thank you for your kindness, your encouragement, your knowledge and your time. By the way, March 8th is my birthday. Seventy-two years old and still kicking! LOL!!
I look forward to watching your videos every week and hearing about your days.. Usually I'll play your videos while I'm crafting, it's like having a friend in the room with me... Thank you Gayle for all you do, your amazing kindness, and for your SURPRISE GIVEAWAY 😉!!
I'm so excited for this week! I'm on Spring vacation and what does that mean? I get to watch you as soon as you post a new video!! That is an extremely extra special surprise!!! Ty for your kind words each day and your uplifting joy each day.
You are amazing artist and I so enjoy listening and watching you. I wish people would keep their comments to themselves. You are inspiring and I thank you. Much love to you and bless all your viewers.
Oh my goodness Gayle! You got a lot accomplished in the last 2 videos and to end it with a surprise give away- thank you! It's always fun hanging out with you girls!
CONGRATULATIONS ON 45thou plus subscribers...thats amazing...You deserve it as you are like my sister I visit everyday...continue to ignore the naysayers and do you and do your thing...you have many who love you and support you just the way you are...Thank you for being my inspiration to start junk journaling just over a year ago. I do not miss a single video from you. Your surprise giveaway is so generous and to have something made by you would be the greatest thing!!
Woot Woot! Tanx for the surprise giveaway! I'm in & gonna & gonna win! Gayle you've been a champion of KINDness for soooooo l o n g! Seems like the old adage "if you don't have something kind to say, don't say anything" needs a global resurgence. Amen sista!
That was a fun and interesting video. I inadvertently watched the envelope par.t twice and laughed just as hard the second time around. I enjoyed how "relaxed" you were about measurements. I never miss a video.
Hi Gayle What a fantastic 2 part tutorial and congratulations on your 45K subscribers. Thank you for your surprise give away for one lucky person. You are a very kind and happy person and you lift my spirits each time I watch you and I hate to think that you have negative comments from time to time shame on them. Keep well and safe at this strange time.
YAY...a Surprise Giveaway!! I would love to be considered...how thoughtful & generous of you!! CONGRATS on 45K🎉...that's because you're AWESOME & ever so KIND!! Thank you for always making my day...LOVE & BIG HUGS!!🤗 ❤🤗
Firstly, Gayle, huge congratulations on achieving your 45000+ subscribers! That’s a huge achievement that I’ve watched you, over the years, gradually obtain through your sheer dedication and commitment. A “job” well done! And you thoroughly deserve the recognition. I do not comment on every video, however, you are the first video that I watch very early every morning and I really look forward to each one every day! Secondly, thank you for your generosity and I would dearly love to have a collection of your pieces from your surprise giveaway to add to my ideas book. Even though I’ve watched for many years it’s only recently that I’ve started creating actual journals and am now enjoying the creating side as well. You are inspiring and truly appreciated! 😀💞🇦🇺
Gayle, I love all your video's. My sister got me started in Junk Journals, but you have given me so much more. Please don't stop. And just so you know, we all had a nice talk amongst ourselves :)
Love how you buzz through that paper to make all those bases. I don't have a paper stash, just starting out so it's hard for me to make that first cut into new paper pads..lol. Just need to get the nerve to cut and go and not worry what others will think of my work so much. Love your channel, thanks for all the advice.
Late in watching part 2 Gayle, but love how you make items out of a strip of paper/card, now I have a few ideas, thank you again for your kindness and laughter, you brighten my days, so many subscribers WOW!!!!!! well done xx
Gayle, I so much enjoy your humor. It's so kind of you to share your stash with a surprise giveaway. I usually watch you on ROKU, so don't get to hit the "like" botton very often. But please know that I like, like, like and love love love you and your style.
So excited for the surprise giveaway!!!!! I've been watching daily for about a year know. It's how I relax when I get off work!!!! Congratulations on 45000!!!!!!!
I love the way you talk. We are all individual and how we sound is how we sound. If you can't say something nice..... just move on and remember every negative thing that comes out of your mouth or is typed by your hand only reflects on yourself and makes you sound incredibly sad and like your parents didn't teach you how to behave. I was taught to respect everyone and seriously, I love your videos.
Thank you, Gayle. I so enjoy watching you be creative and I love to have your voice in the background when I'm inspired to create. Thank you for the surprise giveaway, what a treat!
I simply do not understand why people have to make mean comments on anyone’s you tube channel. I think if those people started their own channel they would quickly realize it is not easy to be creative and talk at the same time. Perhaps they’d be surprised about how hard it is. You make it appear effortless! 45k subscribers and your doing a “surprise giveaway”...I’m ready to win! Lol. Truly though, you are a delight to listen to and a delight to watch. Keep up the beautiful creativity because you give all of us an opportunity to watch and escape from all the chaos these days. Thank you😇
Loveing your story telling . Even if you get lost on were your going with it. Lol..Watch part 1 and 2 in a a row. Surprise give away. I look forward to your videos. Have a wonderful day.❤👍🌷
HUGE congrats on 45K subbies! I've watched for years but this is my first time commenting. During the last couple of months I finally took courage and have taken books apart with a view toward making my first junk journal. After your video yesterday, I went to my sunporch where my paper heard exists, selected several 12X12 double-sided cardstocks, and made 2 double pockets (1 each way) from each 12X12. Not inked but 14 double pockets made. Went on to make some of the faux envelopes you make and am collating book paper and torn hymnals (purchased because of and received in that condition) onto tag bases. Last year I did 100 days of fussy cutting images from my cardstock so I would have a starting point for images. I have no way of printing anything such as digital kits/images, so everything is paper and scissors in my craft world. You are so generous with your time and talent, encouragement and enthusiasm. Thanks for having a SURPRISE GIVEAWAY! Good luck to all who enter. Please enter me as well. Thanks again for your inspiration.
You are still the first video i watch daily. I love how you speak and how you craft. I love how we can 'see' your thought processes at times, it really helps in our crafting. Sending hugs from New Zealand xx omw a surprise give away! How awesome. :)
Dear Gayle - I have never made a journal, and will probably never do so, but I still watch your videos for two reasons. 1. I love watching you create - your enthusiasm is contagious. 2. Watching you is like sitting around the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee and chatting with a friend you’ve known forever. You have the amazing gift of making me feel like you’re speaking directly to me and your warmth and kindness somehow exude from my iPad screen. Thank you so much Sweetheart! 🥰😘
Gayle it is very generous of you to have a surprise give away! Enjoying all of your videos and the laughter you provide with your story telling, thanks
Surprise giveaway... ooooooh yes!!! That’s exciting. You really got a lot done today. I’m so sorry for all those rude people. I’m so thankful for your videos, they give me inspiration. You and Rachel are my go to coffee break everyday. It’s like don’t bother me I’m in my Gayle and Rachel zone. Keep on doing you, and forget about those people that are not nice. We all are not perfect. I’m a Tennessee country girl that lives in Florida so I know I’m special because I’m always asked where are you from. 🤣😂🤣😂 big hugs🌴.
i just love your videos, just be your happy self we love you Gayle, i dont comment much , but iv watch all your videos, thinking doing a journal so iv been learning todo ephemera im getting there, love and bless to you and your family xxx
A SURPRISE GIVEAWAY? I'm there, Gayle, and thanks so much for entering me! I love Scrappy Sunday as well as Scrappy Saturday and can hardly wait to get to the decorating of the bases. Of course, a soon as you do the giveaway yoy're going to have 'ephemera anxiety and want more - LOL!
I was always taught if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. It has worked out pretty well for me. And I’d love to be entered into the surprise giveaway. Would be an awesome treat! Thanks Gayle you are always so delightful.
I get the giggles every time you tell us to "talk amongst ourselves".
Same here
People make slips of the tongue every day. Literally, every day. Everyone should keep a record of everything they say for a day. Hopefully no one criticized you. Making a gentle joke about it, i.e. laughing WITH you, would be a nice gesture :) But it's difficult to hear intent when it's "said" in writing. I don't often make comments because I'm busy crafting along... but I thought I'd tell you that when I start one of your videos, after you introduce yourself, my husband and I both repeat "It's Gayle!" trying to imitate your voice because it puts us in a good mood. Listening to you is like a walk in sunshine. Thank you for sharing your work -- and the contents of your brain!
Hello gayle. What a whole bunch of mass making embellishments ! That’s so fun
Could you explain the credit card thing that you make reference to it for making tag please ? I am quite new to journaling and never heard of that 😉
I could have said the exact same thing about your lovely voice
@@Virginie.Bergar.artist Watch 49 Dragonflies, she has an explanation, Marga
@@Virginie.Bergar.artist it’s cutting the slants for each side of the tag into an old credit card. You can do different size slants on each corner. When making a tag, you use the credit card as a template to cut the slants. 😁❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct ho i see thank you. That will help to have a uniform cutting for all the tag for sure 🤪😁
I feel like there is a segment of people on social media who use it as a way to vent. It is a very sad trend of calling out and criticizing and embarrassing others. They write things they would never say in person because they are sort of anonymous. If I don't like someone's video, I just turn it off. No need to try to shame them. My motto is "Be kind or go home".
Don't these people watch Disney? Even Thumper knew: if you can't say something nice you don't say nothin' at all!
Love your show

Ooh, A Surprise Giveaway! Great idea and so fun! between the two videos you have produced a bumper crop of ephemera but knowing a journal takes so many pieces you need a huge stash. Thanks Gayle for your kindness.🥰
Surprise giveaway, I love it. I spend hours watching you and several other papercrafters. Love all of you and my favorite is always the one I am watching ! LOL..

There must be a rash of negative comments going around, Roxy mentioned the same things, so did Louise
From Hochanda, had her in tears. I don’t get it. I have been in my house for a year and watching everyone is like having friends crafting with me.
Love you and your channel Janice
Also the posh paper lady mentioned it on her channel. Just pathetic....she addressed it with such dignity on a sort video she posted. I was impressed.
You just crack me up, Gayle! I love it when you say to “talk amongst yourselves “. I hope I win the surprise giveaway so I can stop my husband from ( just one time) saying “ I can’t believe you are watching the same thing over and over” I watch you a lot! This is my 1st comment,ever,anywhere!

Very southern accent here as well. And I love to get people by saying "But I was born in NJ what do you mean you like my southern accent" lol
Oh Gayle and you tube crafters bring me so much joy......whiling away an afternoon and learning from you gals is a treasure.....happy to know you guys won’t go away because some folks are unappreciative,..I cannot imagine trying to film,chat, and share your awesome talents....👍💕❤️💕❤️
Please include me in the surprise giveaway. So nice of you to offer. I start every day with your wonderful videos. Soooo inspiring. Love you!
Oh boy, a surprise giveaway! That is a nice surprise. 45,000 subbies is amazing too! Thanks Gayle!
People are something else. I mean, seriously, it's not like you have, oh, I don't know...45 THOUSAND adoring fans! Thanks for taking us along on your journey, Gayle! I'd love to be part of your Surprise Giveaway!
Congrats, first of all for having 45,000+ subbies.That is such a great honor. We all love you. My husband even recognizes your voice. Also, thanks for the "surprise giveaway" to whomever wins it. You are so kind and you just make each day so much fun.
Yet another great thing I’ve learned from Gayle. Make quick decisions and don’t perseverate! I found myself questioning every little choice of paper, cut, shape, then regretting my choice Which makes it stressful and NO FUN. After watching you choose and move on, I’m no longer doing that and am finding the JOY again. THANK YOU, Gayle! #perfectionismisnofun
I wouldn't mind being in your brain! You have so many great crafting ideas in there! Don't pay attention to negative comments. My word! It seems these days you can't say anything without people taking it the wrong way. I liked the "good old days"! Thanks for being there everyday for us. Your videos are definitely a part of my daily routine.
These 2 videos using up all the off-cuts were so inspiring. Wonderful ideas for using the left-overs. And now a surprise giveaway makes it all the more wonderful.
Gayle, 45,000!? Congrats and thanks for including us in your giveaway. Thanks also for filling my mornings with smiles and kindness.
Oooh. A surprise giveaway. Yes please. I seriously don’t know how you craft and talk at the same time. We are not here to judge you ( well the majority of us anyway). We love you so much and all that you teach us and do to inspire us every day. Hugs 💕 Veronica
Oooo surprise give away..... I get too excited when the little bell tells me that you have a new video to watch. I finished my very FIRST journal because of watching your videos. So thank you for what you do and sharing your skills with us all.
Hahaha! You are really human. I love that you let us see your miscalculations. We don’t feel so bad when we mess up. Love your videos. I’m 72 and always learn something new. Please just ignore the negative idiots.
Thank you for inviting us into your online home and sharing your crafty-ness with us. I love all the ideas!!! I'm sorry that folks feel they need to criticize. The world needs much LESS judgement and folks should extend MORE grace to others. If everyone was "kinder than necessary" the world would be a much better place.Thanks for the surprise giveaway!!!
Gayle, it's beyond me why people feel they have to be so critical, especially in a mean way. Thank you for rising above what these people have to say, and for being so loving and encouraging in what you do and share. I would love, love, love to be included in your surprise giveaway! I'm blown away by how much ephemera you have! That said, keep it up! I love your videos, but watch them on my TV as a rule, so can't comment there. Sending you love and best wishes for a Happy Easter and joyous spring, Sandra
I agree with you, totally, Sandra. I don't understand those people! But it may be what Carolyn said below: they use it as a way to vent because they are basically anonymous. But they need to look at THEMSELVES!!
@@ultraviolet13881 Yes, it could be something like that, sadly.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I've learned from you and this channel. Not just information about paper craft but also some good films and tv shows to watch You and Your husband have a similar taste to us over here. It's been like sitting with a friend, something in short supply during this pandemic. You're kind and generous to offer us not only your time, talent and attention but also the chance to win a "surprise giveaway". Looking forward to many more videos!
Oh a “surprise give away”. How fun.....love watching you every day with my morning coffee. Hugs to you girl.
Please just keep on being you - don’t ever change. We love you. Thank you so much for the surprise giveaway x
I can't see why anyone would be negative to you. You are so sweet and caring! As for people telling you how to do things, I thought there were no rules in junk journaling! I love that ! I also love a surprise give-away! Thank you!Take care!
What a sweet thing for you to do, give away a surprise giveaway to someone! Thanks for everything Gayle, you are so inspirational! 🥰
Talk amongst yourselves Is hilarious every time but especially today when you ran to get a ruler and the mat your working on has it printed right on it. You crack me up. As for the way you talk, It must not bother me because I can binge watch older videos for five hours easy peasy. Please enter me in your Surprise Give away. and looking forward to my next binge watching session. I get so many ideas from your work.
Thank you Gayle for being there every day so I have someone to craft with.
Dear Gayle, It is always pleasure to listen to you. I heard how some people comment the way you talk, things you say...but I mostly watch you (beside your beautiful craft work and surprise giveaway - let me try to get something so beautiful, who knows...) because I feel like I have a friend in USA who doesnt know about me. But we (your viewers ) know a lot about you and your life, and I admire you and your energy and you are part of my life and I always look forward to your everyday videos. You are an awesome lady :)
Hi Gayle, I love watching your videos and could listen to you talk all day long, I love your accent. You make me laugh when you go off on the hunt for something and tell us to “talk amongst ourselves “. I also enjoyed part one. Don’t take any notice of the people who make negative comments, they really should get a life. I’d love to be included in the surprise giveaway. Luv and hugs. Xx
Geez....Gayle, you are awesome sauce with a cherry on top. Please just continue to do you. It’s creative, it’s thoughtful, it’s inspiring. You doing you brings joy so many.
It has taken me over a year to use up my scraps after I finally got organized it made it so much easier..now I get to start with new, I promised myself I was not going to use any new..so happy I'm at the end, but I was also shocked at how much I was able to make from scraps watching crafters like you😊
Your channel is the only one I make sure I watch every day. You are very encouraging and supportive and so full of great ideas that your videos lift me up and inspire me to create. The day doesn't feel right till I've watched a little Gayle! Thank you for the surprise give away. Very kind and generous of you Gayle!
Thank you for sharing your process with us as well as chatting to us - don’t let the ugliness in some people take away the beauty in you … you be you !!
Awww Gayle, what a lovely surprise giveaway! I don't find these videos hard to watch or boring, it's all about the process and every one has its own charm.
Well Gayle, every night I watch your channel and love what you do and love to hear your banter. Don’t ever change 😀💕
I just don’t understand how people can be negative! I also watched that video and I’ve heard several crafters mention this lately ! I thought she hit it right in point ! Why can’t we all just be kind! What you and others do for us with your talent and tutorials is priceless! I agree delete !!! It makes me sad that people have so much time on their hands to complain ! Thank you for all you do !! ❤️ thank you for the surprise give away chance !!!! You are amazing 💜
Oh Gayle, you bring me such joy. When I heard you tell why you started this adventure on TH-cam, my heart melted. I believe that, if every person lived with kindness in their hearts, our world would be a better place. Your surprise giveaway is such a treat. Thank you for your gentleness and sharing. Congratulations on 45,000!
I saw the same you tube lady address the rude comments and thought the same as you. I never understand why people are so rude. She was bold and called them on it!
So excited about the “Surprise Giveaway!” You are so sweet!
Thank you so much for everything you do. I live alone and I have been working for home for nearly a year. So every day, I look forward to the hour I get to spend with you. Thank you for sharing yourself and all your great ideas with us! And thank you for offering such a wonderful surprise giveaway!
Ohhh. So exciting. Yes, please enter me in your Surprise Giveaway. Wow Gayle, 45,000. That's incredible. I love just watching you and listening to you chatting away and obviously, so do thousands of others. And Gayle, I believe it's because that they just love you for who you are. So you just keep on keeping on. You're doing a great job!
I love Scrappy Saturdays and so part 2 made me happy. I saw the video you are talking about and I was glad she addressed that. It really does blow my mind that people can be so negative and go out of their way to be critical. Thank you for all you do because I have learned a lot from you and now I have a hobby that makes me happy. Congrats on 45,000 and how nice of you to have a Surprise giveaway!
Surprise give away -- Iove my Gayle time, I consider it an opportunity to focus on a fun way to learn new stuff & stay motivated. I'm always in awe of you being able to pull ephemera and move your journal along.
Thank you so much for all you do.
I would love to be a part of your 45K subbies. SURPRISE GIVEAWAY! Way to go Gayle! We love it! I was raised, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I do book reviews and there are plenty of books I have not cared for, but I still try to find something positive to say about the book vs. the negative. The writer spent hours doing what they love, so acknowledge that.
This was fun and I scraped along with you using my scraps and made all the things you made so thank you:):) and thank you for the SURPRISE to all of us and for bringing kindness to every video you make...very much appreciated!!! TFS
Love all of your great ideas for using up those leftover scraps of scrapbooking paper. Thanks so much for having an ephemera surprise giveaway - count me in! I think I've been watching you for about four years (with a little hiatus in the middle). I watch you and one other junk journal crafter every morning. You are so positive and such have such a kind soul. Listening to you first thing starts my day off with a smile!
Gayle I love everything about you... especially your sharing spirit. I can't start my day without you and a cup of coffee...pure bliss. Thanks for the SURPRISE GIVEAWAY!
Congratulations on your 45,ooo subscribers. You were the TH-camr who gave me the courage to try and make my first junk journal. You are positive and personable in your videos. That's what helped me make the decision to try and make that first project. I tried a small booklet and it turned out surprisingly easy and nice. That was at the start of 2019. Since then, watching your channel as well as others, I've made several more "books". I've even discovered my own personal style in making these projects. Thank you for your kindness, your encouragement, your knowledge and your time. By the way, March 8th is my birthday. Seventy-two years old and still kicking! LOL!!
I look forward to watching your videos every week and hearing about your days.. Usually I'll play your videos while I'm crafting, it's like having a friend in the room with me... Thank you Gayle for all you do, your amazing kindness, and for your SURPRISE GIVEAWAY 😉!!
I'm so excited for this week! I'm on Spring vacation and what does that mean? I get to watch you as soon as you post a new video!! That is an extremely extra special surprise!!! Ty for your kind words each day and your uplifting joy each day.
You are amazing artist and I so enjoy listening and watching you. I wish people would keep their comments to themselves. You are inspiring and I thank you. Much love to you and bless all your viewers.
Oh my goodness Gayle! You got a lot accomplished in the last 2 videos and to end it with a surprise give away- thank you! It's always fun hanging out with you girls!
CONGRATULATIONS ON 45thou plus subscribers...thats amazing...You deserve it as you are like my sister I visit everyday...continue to ignore the naysayers and do you and do your thing...you have many who love you and support you just the way you are...Thank you for being my inspiration to start junk journaling just over a year ago. I do not miss a single video from you. Your surprise giveaway is so generous and to have something made by you would be the greatest thing!!
Woot Woot! Tanx for the surprise giveaway! I'm in & gonna & gonna win! Gayle you've been a champion of KINDness for soooooo l o n g! Seems like the old adage "if you don't have something kind to say, don't say anything" needs a global resurgence. Amen sista!
That was a fun and interesting video. I inadvertently watched the envelope par.t twice and laughed just as hard the second time around. I enjoyed how "relaxed" you were about measurements. I never miss a video.
Hi Gayle
What a fantastic 2 part tutorial and congratulations on your 45K subscribers. Thank you for your surprise give away for one lucky person. You are a very kind and happy person and you lift my spirits each time I watch you and I hate to think that you have negative comments from time to time shame on them. Keep well and safe at this strange time.
YAY...a Surprise Giveaway!! I would love to be considered...how thoughtful & generous of you!! CONGRATS on 45K🎉...that's because you're AWESOME & ever so KIND!! Thank you for always making my day...LOVE & BIG HUGS!!🤗 ❤🤗
I love the thought of your surprise give away. You deserve all your followers and giving people ideas for their own journals.
I have really enjoyed watching these 2 days of “scrapping” Thanks for the SURPRISE GIVEAWAY! Will be watching for the “decorate with me” 😎
Firstly, Gayle, huge congratulations on achieving your 45000+ subscribers! That’s a huge achievement that I’ve watched you, over the years, gradually obtain through your sheer dedication and commitment. A “job” well done! And you thoroughly deserve the recognition. I do not comment on every video, however, you are the first video that I watch very early every morning and I really look forward to each one every day! Secondly, thank you for your generosity and I would dearly love to have a collection of your pieces from your surprise giveaway to add to my ideas book. Even though I’ve watched for many years it’s only recently that I’ve started creating actual journals and am now enjoying the creating side as well. You are inspiring and truly appreciated! 😀💞🇦🇺
Gayle, I love all your video's. My sister got me started in Junk Journals, but you have given me so much more. Please don't stop. And just so you know, we all had a nice talk amongst ourselves :)
Love how you buzz through that paper to make all those bases. I don't have a paper stash, just starting out so it's hard for me to make that first cut into new paper pads..lol. Just need to get the nerve to cut and go and not worry what others will think of my work so much. Love your channel, thanks for all the advice.
Really enjoyed this, all the way through you make me laugh. You're such a comfort for someone who crafts and lives alone. Thank you xx
I love watching your ephemera mass making videos. They so much fun and full of giggles
My favourite person to watch and learn from, you let us into your life in so many ways, Thank you x
A surprise giveaway? Count me in. I enjoy watching all your videos. Thank you for all the great ideas and giggles!
Late in watching part 2 Gayle, but love how you make items out of a strip of paper/card, now I have a few ideas, thank you again for your kindness and laughter, you brighten my days, so many subscribers WOW!!!!!! well done xx
Surprise Giveaway....how very nice of you. I dont comment often but i have been watching you for over 2 years now and always learn a lot.
Gayle, I so much enjoy your humor. It's so kind of you to share your stash with a surprise giveaway. I usually watch you on ROKU, so don't get to hit the "like" botton very often. But please know that I like, like, like and love love love you and your style.
So excited for the surprise giveaway!!!!! I've been watching daily for about a year know. It's how I relax when I get off work!!!! Congratulations on 45000!!!!!!!
This just makes me happy to see all those beautiful things there before you. Such loveliness! Have a blessed day, Gayle !!
I love the way you talk. We are all individual and how we sound is how we sound. If you can't say something nice..... just move on and remember every negative thing that comes out of your mouth or is typed by your hand only reflects on yourself and makes you sound incredibly sad and like your parents didn't teach you how to behave. I was taught to respect everyone and seriously, I love your videos.
Thank you, Gayle. I so enjoy watching you be creative and I love to have your voice in the background when I'm inspired to create. Thank you for the surprise giveaway, what a treat!
I simply do not understand why people have to make mean comments on anyone’s you tube channel. I think if those people started their own channel they would quickly realize it is not easy to be creative and talk at the same time. Perhaps they’d be surprised about how hard it is. You make it appear effortless! 45k subscribers and your doing a “surprise giveaway”...I’m ready to win! Lol. Truly though, you are a delight to listen to and a delight to watch. Keep up the beautiful creativity because you give all of us an opportunity to watch and escape from all the chaos these days. Thank you😇
Oh my goodness a surprise giveaway! Oh goody! Love all the lovely ideas you create. Thank you.
Loveing your story telling . Even if you get lost on were your going with it. Lol..Watch part 1 and 2 in a a row. Surprise give away. I look forward to your videos. Have a wonderful day.❤👍🌷
HUGE congrats on 45K subbies! I've watched for years but this is my first time commenting. During the last couple of months I finally took courage and have taken books apart with a view toward making my first junk journal. After your video yesterday, I went to my sunporch where my paper heard exists, selected several 12X12 double-sided cardstocks, and made 2 double pockets (1 each way) from each 12X12. Not inked but 14 double pockets made. Went on to make some of the faux envelopes you make and am collating book paper and torn hymnals (purchased because of and received in that condition) onto tag bases. Last year I did 100 days of fussy cutting images from my cardstock so I would have a starting point for images. I have no way of printing anything such as digital kits/images, so everything is paper and scissors in my craft world.
You are so generous with your time and talent, encouragement and enthusiasm. Thanks for having a SURPRISE GIVEAWAY! Good luck to all who enter. Please enter me as well. Thanks again for your inspiration.
Hoard not heard and
Collaging not collating
I so love what you did with your scraps. I never know just what to do with all of them. And the idea journal is an awesome idea. Thank you.
How fun....a surprise giveaway! I have loved learning with you the last few years.
You are still the first video i watch daily. I love how you speak and how you craft. I love how we can 'see' your thought processes at times, it really helps in our crafting. Sending hugs from New Zealand xx omw a surprise give away! How awesome. :)
Gayle you are the loveliest and funniest person I see on you tube. You really are fabulous xxxxx.
So excited about this surprise giveaway! Super congrats on 45K subscribers! You are a joy to watch.
Dear Gayle - I have never made a journal, and will probably never do so, but I still watch your videos for two reasons. 1. I love watching you create - your enthusiasm is contagious. 2. Watching you is like sitting around the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee and chatting with a friend you’ve known forever. You have the amazing gift of making me feel like you’re speaking directly to me and your warmth and kindness somehow exude from my iPad screen. Thank you so much Sweetheart! 🥰😘
This is one of the nicest comments I’ve ever had! Thank you so much! You made my day, dear friend! ❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct I’m so glad! 🥰
Gayle it is very generous of you to have a surprise give away! Enjoying all of your videos and the laughter you provide with your story telling, thanks
Surprise giveaway... ooooooh yes!!! That’s exciting. You really got a lot done today. I’m so sorry for all those rude people. I’m so thankful for your videos, they give me inspiration. You and Rachel are my go to coffee break everyday. It’s like don’t bother me I’m in my Gayle and Rachel zone. Keep on doing you, and forget about those people that are not nice. We all are not perfect. I’m a Tennessee country girl that lives in Florida so I know I’m special because I’m always asked where are you from. 🤣😂🤣😂 big hugs🌴.
i just love your videos, just be your happy self we love you Gayle, i dont comment much , but iv watch all your videos, thinking doing a journal so iv been learning todo ephemera im getting there, love and bless to you and your family xxx
A SURPRISE GIVEAWAY? I'm there, Gayle, and thanks so much for entering me! I love Scrappy Sunday as well as Scrappy Saturday and can hardly wait to get to the decorating of the bases. Of course, a soon as you do the giveaway yoy're going to have 'ephemera anxiety and want more - LOL!
I was always taught if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. It has worked out pretty well for me. And I’d love to be entered into the surprise giveaway. Would be an awesome treat! Thanks Gayle you are always so delightful.
