This is my favorite Journal in awhile! Though I think it's what I feel after each of your beautiful creations!! I still enjoy the crockpot, more time in craftroom and hunny can't stand in the kitchen for extended times anymore. I wanna know who deliberately wants to miss a Gayle-ish story?? I had a brother who was 3 yrs younger, he passed when he was 6yrs old. I have a half brother who is 12 yrs older. He was always more of an uncle until we were grown. I have a lot of imaginary friend and liked cutting paper dolls of sales catalog. My parents left for work at 7a.m. and returned about 6p.m. My girls enjoyed the sears catalog in the 80's too. I also spent a lot of my childhood with my grandmother since my parents were in and out of hospitals. My grandmother used to let them pick the things they like desk and then they call Michigan until her the Christmas list for Santa LOL.✌️🐞🥰🕉️
Hello Gayle, I am certainly enjoying this series of the Altered Book. I am busy making 2 myself and am loving the way you share with us. I have used your idea of the double page pockets, (they look like big triangles on the two facing pages) and I am so chuffed with myself that I got a "Gayle Agostenelli" idea right!!!! 😀😆 Thank you for sharing your awesome talents with us and making us better crafters in the process. Love your cheery chuckle, and I nearly fell out of my chair when you told us about your friend and her "corner of shame" in her art room, my WHOLE art room at the moment is a ROOM (never mind corner) of shame!!!!!🤣🙃 But I do so love it, all the mess and chaos makes me sooooo happy. Will clear up when the projects are finished thought, then when I start the next one, back to ROOM of shame!!!!🤣🤣 Anyway, Gayle, just once again, a wonderful video, filled with happiness, love and so much caring. You are an awesome "friend" and I wouldn't miss your video for the world. Good luck with your Granddaughter's game, holding thumbs for a win for them. Travel safely, enjoy the family and your time away. Blessings and hugs as always. Diana🦊🦊
Another great video. ❤❤. Quite tip: when I'm gluing and inking I keep a baggie filled with used dryer sheets close by. They are great for wiping glue off pages and fingers.I also use them for pressing down glued pages if I don't have an old credit card handy.
I just LOVE this altered book Gayle!!! What a fun-filled treasure it is becoming!!! They definitely do take a little bit to come together… but so beautifully rewarding!!! TFS!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💕
This journal is turning out to be just charmingj Gayle! Every time I watch the next video I like it better! I've really enjoyed my daily hour with you even more since Christmas stuff started. The different projects have been so fun to watch. The sears catalog was big in our house too. If I could get it away from my brothers, I would sit on the floor in the nook behind my dad's recliner which was in a corner and just look for hours. I'm sure my mom loved having something so simple that could occupy us so well! ~Wendy 💗🎄
I love the Santa 😍 Page and the page with the Giant Red Bow on the right hand side of the one page!! I love 💝 Ephemera it makes me happy 😁!! My Grandma always had the Sears catalog and I loved it ☺️❤️😍🤩!! I made my Christmas 🎄☃️ list - very long, unrealistic one as a kid from the catalog. I also think that a store called Wilbro's had a large Christmas 🎄☃️ Catalog as well. Awesome times and memories 😃❤️😍🤩!!
Happy Saturday Gayle, love the direction your taking your book . It’s very interesting with all the different pockets . Blessings for a great weekend watching your granddaughter play . 🎄🌲🎄
Yes, as an only child myself I can totally relate: you have to entertain yourself a lot, so creative play comes naturally I guess. All the cards are so vintage looking and pretty! 💕
OMG! The Sears Wish Book! My mother worked at Sears as PX Operator in the 60s and 70s when I was growing up...and my two half sisters and I were latchkey kids as well. Since my mom got a 10% discount EVERYTHING we got came out of the Wish Book. We made our list out of the catalog and had a dollar amount that each could total up to....discount and tax included...which taught me how to do percents lol. As we got older and what we wanted for Christmas changed as we grew up from children to teens that book had EVERYTHING.
Good morning Gayle!! So beautiful and coming along nicely. I'll be watching for it to list!! I was smiling when you said you were hungry. You need a "healthy snack drawer" in your craft room. Not like the candy drawer you used to have!! 😁 I always take snacks out to my she shed....crafting makes you hungry. Have an awesome day....💜
Crockpot meals!! Love them. Still use mine even tho I am home. It’s so nice to throw every thing in and open it at supper time! Yummy! Please I would like to have your soup recipe! Can’t wait to get home because I am going to make an altered book. You got me fired up and can’t wait. I love your so much. Very pretty🥰
This just gets more amazing with every episode. I am definitely going to try another altered book project soon. My first one was a disaster, but your instructions seem easier to follow, so I am more hopeful for the next attempt. Have fun with your family and enjoy your travels (and football games) with Mike. "Us" time is so important and so much fun!
Hi Gayle 🥰 I think we all have a corner of shame or a cart of shame. Lol! 🤣 I was the oldest of 4 and we would fight over the Sears catalog, we would circle what we wanted for Christmas. Enjoyed your video, hope your having a nice weekend! 💜
Oh my....yes, the Sears wish book!! Such fun was had browsing that one and also Eatons and The Bay!! Both Canadian stores!! I remember one time when the wish book came and my cousin and I took it without telling my Mom and we would cut people out of the books and use them as paper dolls!! When she found out she was not a happy camper!!! LOL After that we were not allowed to touch until she gave the book to us!! Loving your altered book Gayle!! Just looks like happiness coming off the pages!! TFS!1 Hugs, Liz:)
I really liked this series. I have never made a complete altered book journal, so I learned a TON! I will be referring back I am sure! I would love to see a final flip through when it is completely finished! Have a great trip!
The altered book is amazing, Gayle. It is so very pretty. Someday when I have time (nope, not enough hours in the day), I'm going to make one of these.
Good morning Gayle. The journal is beautiful. I know you are anxious to get it finished so you can work on another one but I am a little sad to see it come to an end. I love altered books and yours are always so beautiful.
I love watching your videos, they are informative, uplifting and entertaining, and I love your laugh, I watch with the closed caption on and every time you laugh, it says "music" I thought that was neat. Have a great weekend, hugs.
We saw you do part of the double truck pocket with red print and the children on both tucks. It is gourgeous!! It cracked me up when you said Lorette talked about her corner.of shame. I said yes and I pointed to.mine as I lol. Mine is in front if my bedroom closet. It's so full of craft supplies and my mending that I can no longer get to the closet door. I know that theres good supplies and empty dresser drawers in there. But I cant get to them right now. I'm trying to wait patiently till my son's land purchase closes on the 15th and he can get a shipping container out there for both his storage unit and my over abundance of crafting supplies can be stored there. Lol totally !!! Actually I have two of them. One.is in my living room too. Ahggggg ! OMG Gayle your tortellini soup.sounds delicious.!! Recipe please !! I went on line and saved three recipes. Two using sausage and kale and one using frozen spinach. I'm going to try each and see which i.like the best.
So i bought a book that was too large for my digital prints. I decided to first cover all the pages with beautiful coffee died paper then use my digi kit. Wasn't planning on double work but...... i can't wait to see how it turns out. The coffee die paper was bought on etsy and could stand alone.its so beautiful. And..... i have a tornado craft room of shame. lol
That's the perfect description of any craftroom!! Although you all may have just a "corner of shame" my whole entire craft room is the craftroom of shame🤣😭 and I'm horrible at organizing....my husband will peek in and say...you still organizing????🤦♀️ but it is a little better because my one year old boxer pup actually walks into my craftroom now🤣🤣🤣🤣 he tried to walk in one day and his wiggle butt hit a pile of stuff and it fell over...scared the baby to death🤦♀️🤣
No I do not mind at all that you shared about my corner of shame, it was well on its way to being half a room of shame… lol!😂😂😂 I know lots of us have those places! I love the Sears catalog and I spent many hours dreaming over all the pages too! Loving your altered book so much! Can’t wait to see what you do with your cover! Big hugs! 🤗💖🤗
Oh boy, wish it was just a corner I had to worry about! Yikes I can't find anything, need to clean this mess out. I remember getting the Sears catalog and going through making my Christmas list, saying I want everything on this page and this page . . . It was nice to dream anyway!
My sisters and I poured over the Sears catalogue too. We played a game: we would turn to a random page and we each would have to choose something we would order from that page if forced to. Giggles ensued, especially when we turned to a page of girdles. The altered book you are making is beautiful.
you know something i guess it how we think of doing stuff but i try to do christmas in the summer i do sewing notion and it seems that in the summer is my thinking time so now i do thing all year
I love this book! Yes I remember the Sears wish book! Best day ever! We would get other books like that too. Have a great weekend with your family! Hugs....
Gayle, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this altered book! It is turning out beautiful. Can you please tell me where you got the cards that you start using at about 51:26 in this video? the ivory cards with "Handkerchief Department". Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Another wonderful video! Loving all the decorations! Yes, I remember pouring over the Sears catalogue. Such a fun memory! I had to clean my corner of shame a few days ago. Laurette is so awesome! Thanks. Hugs
Love your altered books! You do such a good job. Have you seen Treasure Book's video on the altered book of pockets? She has lots of different pocket ideas you might like. It was an interesting video...kind of an idea book of different altered pockets.
Thank you Gayle for the wonderful ideas on decorating. I am learning as much as I can to be able to start my first altered journal. I see in your video that it helps to have a stash of stuff on hand to use. I am still in my hunter/gatherer phase but I have dreams of what is ahead.
I know that you love to finish a project but honestly I was hoping the altered book would go on and on. Lol. I loved it. Thanks so much for such a wonderful hour in my day.
I remember the Sears catalogs that’s where I made my Christmas letter to Santa from. It’s amazing how memories can be recalled. Such a beautiful altered book Gayle. 🌲 loved how everything turned out.
Oh Gayle, I could never fast forward for fear of missing something you may say. As for the Sears catalog, when I was young married my friend would call and we would decorate our house from the catalog. This journal is beautiful. And easy on the eye.
This is really coming along fabulously. Sure do love altered books. I have one ready too go. Just need to print out some printables. Looking forward to watching the finish of this book and Blue Fern Studios. Can't wait to hear about Addies divisionals! Volleyball is my favorite girls sport. My 11 year old granddaughter, Penelope has just started Club Volleyball so am excited to watch her play. Have a great week💕💕💕
Good Afternoon Gayle! Absolutely gorgeous altered book. Heading to the dollar store, hopefully they will have books. The store has been very low in stock, still waiting on their shipment. Enjoyed your video today, hope Addy and her team did well. Happy Crafting! 👍🍁🍁🍁
I've been following this series and plan to use it to make my Christmas gifts. However I was going to include other papers for other holidays and include pictures of the kids throughout the year for the grandparents. Do you think it would work or be too much?
I love Laurette 😂 she cracks me up when she says "eekk" 😂 I have a craft room and half a living room "corner of shame" my corner exploded I think 😂 I hope you had a fantastic time with your family and are enjoy making memories with a new coat ❤️❤️
Goodmorning Gayle 😊 I was thinking I wonder how many hours you spend inking? 😂 I love inking too 🤪 Your altered book is fabulous! You must be excited to finish it! I’ve never done one, but with your inspiration I think I will!🥰 Hugs Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
Oh my gosh Gayle, I hadn’t realized you were an only child… another reason why I relate to you so much! A lot of my youth was spent creating and crafting, as there sure wasn’t screen time like today! When our kids were small, we had the Sears Wish Book. How exciting when it came, as they would pour over it until all the pages were dog eared! They would then print their ideas of what they might like from Santa. Oh those simpler, magical times.🥰🇨🇦❤️🎄
I have 3 rooms of SHAMEFULLLness. Sewing room/media art painting studio/paper craft room. Hubs says if a ⚡️ flares with all the fibers here it will burn for YEARS!!!!
This is my favorite Journal in awhile! Though I think it's what I feel after each of your beautiful creations!! I still enjoy the crockpot, more time in craftroom and hunny can't stand in the kitchen for extended times anymore. I wanna know who deliberately wants to miss a Gayle-ish story??

Nothing profound, as you said, but it's the chit chat that I find soothing. Like I'm not crafting alone. 😊
Another great video. ❤❤. Quite tip: when I'm gluing and inking I keep a baggie filled with used dryer sheets close by. They are great for wiping glue off pages and fingers.I also use them for pressing down glued pages if I don't have an old credit card handy.
Corner of shame…???…. Mine’s a craft room AND dining room of shame!! 😆😆😆. LOVE this series! I look forward to my Gail time!! ❤️❤️❤️
I just LOVE this altered book Gayle!!! What a fun-filled treasure it is becoming!!! They definitely do take a little bit to come together… but so beautifully rewarding!!! TFS!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💕

These are gorgeous..... such joy to my heart. I can just replay this video over and over!! Thank you so much Gayle. 💜

Good Morning Gayle! When my craft room is tidy that means nothing is happening, my husband is amazed at how much stuff appears, lol
Morning Kath! ❤️
Gayle, this has really turned out to be an incredible book! Your work is spectacular! Hugs & Blessings, Carol Schneider
I loved getting the Sears catalog too! Very special.
We saw you do part of the double truck pocket with red print and the children on both tucks. It is gourgeous!!
It cracked me up when you said Lorette talked about her corner.of shame. I said yes and I pointed to.mine as I lol. Mine is in front if my bedroom closet.

Altered book with amazing digis
Good Morning Gayle, this journal is looking great! You might have convinced me to dip my toes even though I had an awful time of it previously. 💕
Morning Amy! ❤️
Her profound is when she uses the no.2.. and Ho Ho Ho....lol.... Love you Gayle.... Hugs...
So i bought a book that was too large for my digital prints. I decided to first cover all the pages with beautiful coffee died paper then use my digi kit. Wasn't planning on double work but...... i can't wait to see how it turns out. The coffee die paper was bought on etsy and could stand alone.its so beautiful. And..... i have a tornado craft room of shame. lol
Gayle: nice job! Carol from California
Gail, please share that tortellini recipe with us! You made me hungry!!! 🙂
I have the craft room of shame,lol!🤗🌻
That's the perfect description of any craftroom!! Although you all may have just a "corner of shame" my whole entire craft room is the craftroom of shame🤣😭 and I'm horrible at organizing....my husband will peek in and say...you still organizing????🤦♀️ but it is a little better because my one year old boxer pup actually walks into my craftroom now🤣🤣🤣🤣 he tried to walk in one day and his wiggle butt hit a pile of stuff and it fell over...scared the baby to death🤦♀️🤣
No I do not mind at all that you shared about my corner of shame, it was well on its way to being half a room of shame… lol!😂😂😂 I know lots of us have those places! I love the Sears catalog and I spent many hours dreaming over all the pages too! Loving your altered book so much! Can’t wait to see what you do with your cover! Big hugs! 🤗💖🤗

Well, now you know that you will need to share the Tortellini Soup receipe.
My sisters and I poured over the Sears catalogue too. We played a game: we would turn to a random page and we each would have to choose something we would order from that page if forced to. Giggles ensued, especially when we turned to a page of girdles. The altered book you are making is beautiful.
😂 my corner of shame has a cardboard box of small cardboard boxes 🤦♀️
😂. I have a stack of Amazon envelopes and cardboard boxes that will be covers one day. Looks like a section of the landfill! 😂❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct 😂😂💜
Lookin good 😊

I love this book! Yes I remember the Sears wish book! Best day ever! We would get other books like that too. Have a great weekend with your family! Hugs....
So pretty
Gayle, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this altered book! It is turning out beautiful. Can you please tell me where you got the cards that you start using at about 51:26 in this video? the ivory cards with "Handkerchief Department". Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I'm new at all this. I was wondering if you could talk about how you go about coming up with prices for your items. Thank you, Gigi
This has turned into a lot of work. Beautiful still
Another wonderful video! Loving all the decorations! Yes, I remember pouring over the Sears catalogue. Such a fun memory! I had to clean my corner of shame a few days ago. Laurette is so awesome! Thanks. Hugs
Really really like this altered book. One could just flip through the pages over and over. BTW, did you find a new coat?😄🧥
I did! It’s great, but now it’s warm here again. But the warm weather can’t last forever! 😂❤️
Love your altered books! You do such a good job. Have you seen Treasure Book's video on the altered book of pockets? She has lots of different pocket ideas you might like. It was an interesting video...kind of an idea book of different altered pockets.
Thank you Gayle for the wonderful ideas on decorating. I am learning as much as I can to be able to start my first altered journal. I see in your video that it helps to have a stash of stuff on hand to use. I am still in my hunter/gatherer phase but I have dreams of what is ahead.
Be warned, the hunter/gatherer phase never ends! 🤣
I have "middle of the floor madness" 🥴🤣 Really loving how this is coming along! I'm learning so much!
The journal is turning out so pretty as usual. We always looked forward to the Sear's catalog too.
I know that you love to finish a project but honestly I was hoping the altered book would go on and on. Lol. I loved it. Thanks so much for such a wonderful hour in my day.
I remember the Sears catalogs that’s where I made my Christmas letter to Santa from. It’s amazing how memories can be recalled.
Such a beautiful altered book Gayle. 🌲 loved how everything turned out.

Good morning, Gayle! I love love this altered book! Rachel's digis are beautiful!
Morning Beverly! ❤️
I've been following this series and plan to use it to make my Christmas gifts. However I was going to include other papers for other holidays and include pictures of the kids throughout the year for the grandparents. Do you think it would work or be too much?
I think it would. You’ll just have to access the thickness as you go. 👍❤️
This altered book is just awesome….love every page of it and then some. Thanks for sharing all of this. Blessings! ❤️
Really enjoyed this series!
I love Laurette 😂 she cracks me up when she says "eekk" 😂 I have a craft room and half a living room "corner of shame" my corner exploded I think 😂 I hope you had a fantastic time with your family and are enjoy making memories with a new coat ❤️❤️
Ooooo… it’s Gayle Time! G’morning! Warming up my coffee, grabbing my lap blanket. Hope you are well (wherever and whenever you are in real time 😆). 💕💕
What kind of glue do you use in your altered books
Hi Gayle, the altered book is really coming along beautifully! I do enjoy your videos and your chats. Hugs👍💛🤗
Good Morning Gayle!! I LOVE watching your videos and listening to your life!! Its just so relaxing and so interesting at the same time!!

Hugs Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
Morning Maggie! They are so fun! You’ll enjoy making one! ❤️
Loved watching you both! I would love to be entered into you give away! See you next week.
Good morning, Gayle! What a wonderful adventure this altered book has been! Thank you so much for sharing!
Morning Eugenia! ❤️
Oh my gosh Gayle, I hadn’t realized you were an only child… another reason why I relate to you so much! A lot of my youth was spent creating and crafting, as there sure wasn’t screen time like today! When our kids were small, we had the Sears Wish Book. How exciting when it came, as they would pour over it until all the pages were dog eared! They would then print their ideas of what they might like from Santa. Oh those simpler, magical times.🥰🇨🇦❤️🎄
I have 3 rooms of SHAMEFULLLness. Sewing room/media art painting studio/paper craft room. Hubs says if a ⚡️ flares with all the fibers here it will burn for YEARS!!!!
