Very pretty journal, Gayle! I just sold my first Christmas journal. It was such a thrill to see someone love it enough to buy it. I told them about you and your great teaching videos. Thanks very much for your enthusiastic style and for all the giggles.
What fun we all had watching this one, Gayle! The size was a challenge and it was such a learning experience watching you work your magic around this tall beauty with your usual determination and genuine infectious humor! You are such a treasure 🩷!
This tall skinny journal is beautiful. I have loved every step, papers, embellishments, dangles (yes please!). I think this is the first tall skinny Christmas journal I have seen made and it’s perfect in every way! Have a Blessed day!
Happy Tuesday, Gayle, I had fun last night putting the finishing touches on the Christmas journal, thanks for sharing enjoy your day, big hugs Gayle.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘
Gayle I started my journey watching you back in 2017 and it’s such a joy to see your growth and success. God Bless you for spreading positivity and love in the TH-cam space. 💗💗💗🫶🫶🫶🌈🌈🌈
Good Morning Gayle & Friends! This journal is so lovely but struggling to “love” it. I finally figured it out, it’s “skinny” and this fluffy girl likes “fluffy” things! 😂😂😂 Just kidding! “Tall” can be “chunky”! Hoping those storms last night didn’t affect my friends across the miles. All my part of Kansas got was heavy rain. Put a chill in the air making it good weather to work on the Christmas afghan for my grandson. Everyone in our house enjoyed the rain, except Jezebel, the Pomeranian! She needs a doggy umbrella! She goes out to do her business, but she has to stand and look outside for a long time before she goes begrudgingly! Going to go be crafty! Blessings and hugs! P.S. hope Mike is doing better!
Yes your humor is very infectious..as I was your video while having coffee I an laughing out loud which my hubby comments " oh there goes Gayle must be funny if laughing out loud " I so enjoy your projects so much fun and happy thank you for being you... I appreciate your sharing with us all. Thank you
Good morning Gayle! This journal turned out so beautiful. Thank you for keeping me company every morning, your inspiration and your lovely personality. I think you might be on retreat this week, so enjoy. Take care, I will see you tomorrow. I love you friend 😊🤗❤
That turned out so lovely Gayle. I love your journals, especially your Christmas ones. I also love the document journal size. It's very pleasing to the eyes. Thank you for sharing!
Good morning sweet friend! You’re keeping me company while I go through fabric and make covers! My hubby was complimenting my journals and I told him I learned everything from Gayle! Blessings 💜 Patty
Had to finish watching tonight. X-ray on my foot this morning interrupted my time with Gayle. Two more weeks in a boot. Ugh. Came home with two organizing pieces from the thrift store near the doctor’s office. Spent the rest of the morning making a big mess in the craft room organizing. I often think, “What would Gayle use this for?” You’re such n inspiration.
Good morning Gayle!! I really love how this journal turned out. So beautiful!! Over slept this morning because the power went out during the night. We had 60 mph wind gusts!! So thankful it was back on this morning so we could have coffee. 😂 Now I've got to go out and help hubby clean up the mess from the winds. Have an awesome day...💜
Another beautiful piece of art-I think my favorite part is the belly band-the touch of black looks so nice🖤. I enjoyed my coffee time with you this morning with you my BCF Best Crafting Friend Gayle!❤
Good morning! Always a fun day when you collage AND stuff pockets!👏 Lovely journal and so on to the next!🎉 But before that, onwards to Challenge Wednesday!🫶 Safe travels, prayers for those in need and have a good day!🙏😁❤️ PS thanks for showing how to make a bow again! Always forget so good to get a reminder!👍
Morning Ann! Enjoy your trip, my friend! I’ve been to Hawaii once, when we took my mom on a Hawaiian cruise. So beautiful! I hope you have great weather and a fabulous time! ❤
Good Evening Gayle! Wow! You finished this Christmas document journal! It’s spectacular! Amazing! Have a fabulous evening my friend ! Luv, Hugz & Prayers 💖🙏🏻💖
I love all your Christmas Journals, but my favorite is this Tall Skinny one. It is a bit more challenging when it comes time to decorate because of the width being narrow. Pockets, tags and journaling cards have to be skinny. That makes it even more fun. You always do a wonderful job no matter what.
Chilly in Montana, +80 degrees in KY. Setting records here. Took my walk today in shorts and a tank top.❤😊 I love these tall journals, Gayle. That collage made such cute tags/journal cards. You've lost so much weight, Gayle I doubt you have much of a back side. 😅 I think floor vents really do need cleaning every couple years. A lot of dust, animal hair and dirt fall into those vents. Hope you and Mike are doing well. Big hugs and love always. ❤
Hi Gayle😊 your document journal is absolutely gorgeous, I have enjoyed watching you bring it all together. Thanks again for your company and I send happy wishes to you and Mike💕
Good morning Gayle💕 Your Christmas document journal is looking fabulous, thank you for sharing your process. Wishing you both a beautiful day, big hugs 🥰
Good morning Gayle ❤. It always amazes me how quickly you finish a journal. It sure pays to have ready made ephemera, doesn’t it. I’m almost finished with the Minecraft quilt then on to making Christmas cards. Have a great and blessed day 💕
Hi Gayle. I always enjoy spending time crafting along side of you. Truly a very lovely journal. I have yet to make a tall one. I think I’ll have to now. Have a great day. ❤😊
Morning from soggy south wales Gayle ive been keeping track of the amount of journals youve made this year, with completion of tall skinny it takes you to 48 before your retreat makes, wow thats going some gayle❤. Good on you chick x
Hello, Friend! I chuckled to myself as I watched you flip the DD page over to start the reverse side of the Masterboard - as though it would make a difference which side was which! I do that all the time with plain papers or cardstock. Have no clue why. I wanted to mention that every summer when we get our furnace cleaned, the service man cleans all the vents, too. It's kind of standard around here. Guess it's not out there? Beautiful book, Gayle. Have a great day!
Good morning Gayle! Love this journal, it's just gorgeous! Saw my tag, I thought it went perfectly where you put it! I am working on Christmas tags. I'll let you know when they are ready. ❤🧡💖💚💙💛💜🤎🖤🤍❤
Hi Gayle. Yes it was me that asked if you might be allergic to something in your craftroom. Maybe you're like me and it's a change in the barometric pressure that sets off the allergies? Any weather change (good to bad or bad to good, dry to wet or wet to dry etc) makes me miserable. I've had allergies for years but the older I get the worse they get. (I never new allergies could give me headaches but I know it now. 🙄 So Christmas journal # 4 is done. Whoo hoo! You are rocking it. Gotta get ready to go vote now. (Weather is rainy and cold so my allergies will love my little trip out and about today 😷. Hope you and Mike have a great day. 🌞
Hi Gayle!! I do love the tall and slim journals and yours is a beauty!! Great idea to use rick rack as the closure tie!! Hopefully you will do another in 2025!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
Good evening Gayle❤! I’m late!… ☺️ lovely journal. I struggle with tall skinnys. Which means I need to dive in and make another one. 🙄😆 Hope you had a good day, and have a restful night. ❤️
Hello 👋 Gayle, l’m back from Texas. Nice to hear your hello ❤ What a long drive 🤪 So cute to see my 2 granddaughters baby bellies together. The baby shower was so cute! I got lots to catch up on. While your driving watch your gas tickets if the price they advertise is the price on your ticket. Not 1 station l stopped at was the same. That was 5 gas stations 😠 love watching your videos my friend 🤗
Love your creativity and your stories! ❤ As for sneezing, it may not be your air ducts. I find that when tearing paper, there are fine fibers in the paper that tickle my nose or make me sneeze. Not all paper does this but some just have a lot of very fine fibers. Just a thought about your sneezing😉
Good morning my friend, another one in the books. I wonder which one you're starting next. You by passed the pink digis in your stack for this year correct? I can't believe volleyball is nearly over already . ~Patti
Morning Patti! Yes, passing by the pink this year. I have several more projects I want to get done for Christmas though that I’m excited to get started on! ❤
We are heading into Summer Christmas in NZ. woohoo :) You make our life happy too, beautiful lady. Loving the tall skinny leggy gal. Could the bellyband have a join in the middle and two cards underneath. Pockety idea. 3 the same size - one under each other with tags. or two ladder pockets! Lubdub Helen
