So, I think it was me (a newbie) that asked for this video, so thank you, it was very helpful. And informative. And a good peek into your lovely crafting space. And hearing terms - like cluster. There’s a lot to learn. And I thank you 🤍🤍🤍.
It takes literally 2 minutes to create a mess when working with paper crafts! I mean that is reality baby. 😀. I also do not like working in a mess so I clean up every time I leave a project for the day. And Gayle the saying: “ A place for everything and everything in it’s place” is such a good word to help us! I use it all the time. Another tip is that if things are organized in such a way that they are difficult to get to it will be harder and you will be frustrated and not use them. I have organized and reorganized my supplies time and again to put them in place that are easy to access. For me half my living room/kitchen condo space is my craft area. I(I have a separate bedroom) so that is very challenging for me but I think I do really well with the space I have. But I think I am on my 50th iteration and I am not joking. As I purchase new things I have to shape shift. LOL. But I love this craft so much that it’s not a chore for me. Enjoy your videos so much because of you-you make it fun!
This was such an eye opener for me. I’m always working in a mess that I really don’t like because I feel caged in. This will be my year now, to clean up as I go inspired by you Gayle. Thank you. So there’s something to be grateful for as well, lol.
I (previously) could not wait to start a new project, so would start without cleaning up after a completed project. After watching Gayle straighten up the work surface while working on a project for the last year, I have started following that process. Am much happier working in a 12x12 space than a 6x6 space as I was doing previously. I am grateful for Gayle's organizational vibes!
This was timely. I told Laurette my Word For The Year is “ORGANIZE”, inspired by you and her. I’m taking all year to purge/declutter/reorganize/repurpose/reassign…
I watch you everyday, dont always comment, ..But...Oh my goodness! I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one. I love looking at others stash/craft room, then looking at mine for some better organizing techniques. And it helped when you said that about a small bedroom, which is what I have, it helped!! Ty you for all your tutorials. I don't always comment, but you're my number 1 favorite.
I am always grateful for you! My goal this year is “Be Positive!” I’ve let things get me down for too long and I have the ability to control it. I’m loving how it affects others around me as well. I don’t know if you ever watched the movie, “Doc Hollywood” staring Michael J. Fox, but, the on-going reports of your deck saga, and now, the harrowing events at your daughter’s apartment, made me think of it (the movie.) Often times, my husband is in the kitchen with me having his morning coffee as I’m watching your video. Just before I started it today, he asked how things were coming with the “daughter and family who had the water damage.” (And I didn’t think he was paying attention!) We were both happy to hear they’ve been relocated into a newly renovated apartment but equally horrified of what they also learned about their upstairs neighbors. Just like in the movie, “Doc Hollywood”, Dr. Stone, continued to ask about the local gal who married a man from Pakistan and their adventures!!! My husband may not paper craft, but he sure likes your reporting! We are both grateful for you, Gayle! ❤
Isn't it so funny that to other people it often looks like "How can you ever find stuff here?" but you know exactly where everything is. It's like that in my craft room. I think your organisation is awesome!! Always love a tour around your room, Gayle! 😍💕❤
Gayle, I watch you almost every day. I think that this is so helpful! When I get on a roll creating, I don't stop, take a breath and reorganize. You taking us through your steps makes this so much more important now. I actually spent three days this week getting things in place so I can reach everything (mostly) from my chair. Now I need the habit of putting it back before the next project. So so helpful!! Thank you thank you!
You are soooo, fun, Gayle! AND I am incredibly impressed that you know exactly what bin is what and where it is. I need to label all my things to remember … 😂 It’s always a treat to spend some crafty time with you!
Your craft room is so cozy ! I can see how relaxing and fun it is to film your videos there. Thank you for sharing your enjoyable spaces, it was really fun to watch. Best wishes and love to you Gayle !
Good morning Gayle perfect timing. Yesterday I watched 8 episodes of Alex curiosity Incorporated cleaning out a hoard house while I cleaned out four or five bins and boxes of stuff
You have such a large space and every inch has craft supplies in it! I’m amazed you can remember where everything is! I agree cleaning up is essential to be creative I can’t do anything in a mess!
Thank you so much for showing your craft room today and how you organize. I’m new at junk journaling and have spent the last couple of months reorganizing a office space and collecting/crafting supplies. This was so helpful!! ❤ I’m a new Gayle subbie and binge watched you the last couple days (while dealing with really bad allergies-ugh) and have decided we are long lost sisters! 😊😂 Thanks a lot!! 👍👍
I love seeing how everything is organized. I don't have much craft room space so "a place for everything and everything in its place" is a must, though I struggle to keep up sometimes when my kids craft in my room, too :P And I love that card from Mike haha.
Your tidy up was so helpful. I didn’t feel I could break thing done so much. But seeing your break downs makes me know it’s much better to have this that are the same all together. I have been gathering all the empty containers and putting them in one place. Then I I can sort into the containers I already have. Thank you for sharing very helpful. 😊❤🎉thanks for all you share.
Oh my great organization. Would you do a show of your desk with all the acrylic drawers and your organization of that. I love that system. Thanks again. for sharing your way.
Hey Gayle 😀 what a hoot...Thank you for birthing our kids!😂😂Next father's day you should write, Thank you for impregnating me! I'll bet he says, "My pleasure." 😂😂 This was a fun video. You should have seen the mess I had after helping my granddaughter make a Cinderella shoebox float for a book report😬😬 Happy Crafting!
Very enjoyable video. What I find remarkable is that you remember where everything is with such a big space and so many containers! I have trouble with that, especially if I reorganize, and my room is tiny compared to yours. You have a great memory!
Good morning Gayle! I just got a new kitten and she loves watching you! We have “Gayle time” - we get cozy and watch your newest videos. Lol! Hugs from Shannon and Noelle!
A place for everything and everthing in its place ... ja ... that's what I've tried to teach my children ... some got it, some not ... My mil had the idea to switch houses: Can we switch houses? Your house is always neat and clean I like to live here. Ähm ... but if you live here it's not longer neat and clean. I know but when I've messed up your house my house is neat and clean 'cause you're living there then I can go back to my house ''till I messed it up again .... Yeah ... thanks ... We've never done it 'cause my neat and clean is too neat and clean she needs her chaos 🤣 But it was a quite funny conversation. Hubbys face expressions were priceless 🤣
Gayle ! Yes, this is fabulous !! Thank you so much. I love your space 🥰🥰🥰 I applauded your one-handed filming. I’m sure it’s NOT easy. Maybe a Go-Pro camera on your head ?? 😂😂😘
TFS & all your eclectic storage situations. Great ideas of using what I have rather than spending $ for new! Happy to hear Joni is recovering from the fire, 🙏's answered!
Hi Gayle, congrats on having the discipline to do the cleanup right after a project. I usually push the limits & craft too long (if there's such a thing!) each day & cleanup is the last thing I want to do. I also need the visual reminder of what I should tackle next. That said, I'm going to try to adopt your strategy....besides, looks like it doubles as an aerobic activity with all the to and fro : ) Cheers, Hazel
I have loved watching this video and when you were re-arranging your craft room. Thank you! Also, I just love your "middle-school" humor! Things I would say myself or make me laugh!
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I was fortunate enough to get a new craft room which is now organized and I have been incorporating some of your ideas into keeping my new space cleaner than I have in the past.
Good morning, Gayle! Loved seeing your 'clean it up' process. As I reorganize my space I'm shooting for the Everything Has A Place. I'm also purging. While I'd love to have an entire basement to really spread out, I am blessed for the studio we did build me and for the warehouse shed to store the overflow. One of the things I love about your space is all the vintage cabinetry type items. Sucker for vintage. LOL... Creative Blessings!
Hi Gayle I’m milly 😄👋🏼 I have seen hundreds of maker rooms and organizations styles. But I have not been able to relate to them. Until yours 😃 I’m the same way I have a section for everything and I just can not get inspired in a messy area and I have tried. In fact when my area is messy I move to a nice clean one 😂🤣 BUT for most part I am a creature of habit I clean my area. 😊 at the moment I’m trying to declutter each area and donating things I know I will definitely not use. It’s very hard to let go of supplies but it’s a must do to make more room. Thank you so much for sharing this video 😘 and to the person that requested it. XOXO
WOW!!!! I am in LOVE with your craft room Gayle!! I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been binge watching your video’s - you are so talented and inspirational, thank you so much for sharing! Love and hugs 🤗, Janine x
Although I had to avert my eyes a few times because of the camera movement, I enjoyed seeing your studio. Unavoidably I sometimes have more than one project going and if I can't clean up, I need to choose one project and consign the other to a box, if even for a day or two. Not that I always do it, and if not I always regret it! Thanks!
I am spending this month reorganizing my craft studio, and getting ready to go back into crafting mode. This was prefect timing for your video. I can 't create in chaos either. You have such a great space. Thanks for the inspiration, have a fabulous day!!
Gayle, Thank you for the great video. It is nice for a newbie to see how an experienced crafter works. Who knows, what works for someone maybe a good fit for someone else. I love your channel. Thanks again for sharing. ❤
Hi Gayle, I don't have near half of what you do but I too always clean up and put everything away into it's place when I finish crafting. I can't imagine continuously making new projects on a messy table, I wouldn't have a clue where anything was! Great video :))
Thank you Gayle, last night when I left my craft space I remarked, " a place for everything and nothing in it's place". This needs to happen with me soon. Thank you for the inspiration. January is always a great time to start over reorganizing.
Hi Gayle, I really love it that you did this clean up and organizing videos, it inspires me to clean up my area. Lol, I clean and organize, then in a week or so, it’s all thrashed…😂 this was a very fun video. I ❤ it,
Thanks Gayle for the cleanup experience. Starting from an organized place is sure easier than crafting and then organizing the leftovers without a plan. Your Mother’s Day card flower was a perfect fit for a page! I am thinking of sending a blank page with my husband in future so he can do the same! Lol! Have a fun week! I am grateful for you.
Gayle, this was such a lovely video. The tour was so informative, the way you organize and know where everything has been placed. If I put something away, it's gone.-like my memory, lol. Thank you for taking the time to "show and tell". My craft room is small, about 90 square feet, but the way you organize will be helpful in the way I organize my goodies. Thanks again for all you do for all of us!!!
Loved this video!! I love organizing my space almost as much as crafting. I am so lucky to have a room for my crafting, my husband is extremely supportive of my “art” as it’s a huge destresser for me. Thanks Gayle, for your inspiration and your positivity. You are a light to your family and to all of us.✨✨✨✨
I am like you in that I also love to organize my supplies as much as I do crafting. (Maybe slightly more?) And I am acontainer collector. I am such a sucker for buying things to store things in. I have tried many products and have lit upon some solutions I really like. I am a walking Container Store (except I rarely shop there-too expensive). I like finding storage solutions everywhere. Happy crafting (and organizing!)
Oh Gayle, I am in shock about what your daughter is having to go through. First thing I think of are the photos and art pictures ok. It’s enough just having to move unexpectedly beside dealing with the dirty water. Prayers for her and her family. ❤️🐇
I enjoyed this video very much! It was good to see how you organize. I only have 1/10th as much stuff as you do, but I feel pretty good about how I have organized things. As you know, it was a work in progress and of need. I agree with you, a place for everything and everything in it's place (after you finish a project). It is a mind set that works for me and apparently for you. I also follow your Scrappy Saturday videos. Thank you for sharing. Love, Sharon
Good almost afternoon Gayle!! I was watching you and 2 of my daughter's called me. Awesome to talk to them for over an hour!!🥰 So fun watching your clean up process. I'm the same way, don't like working in a mess. No one can say you don't get exercise crafting. You put in a lot of steps!! 🤣 Have an awesome day...💜
Loved this video. I used the time to listen to you and tidy my own craft area up. I have an idea for your use it up drawer, you could pull out the drawer and use that when decorating a batch of ephemera. That would “use it up” 😊 Thanks Gayle
My sister has been subbed to your channel for awhile now and suggested your videos to me. I’d love to see a little more of your gratitude journal and hear a bit more about it. Things have not been going my way lately and I’ve dug myself into a hole and desperately need to get out of it. Maybe if I start a gratitude journal things wouldn’t look as bleak as I feel. Thank you so much for sharing I’ve really enjoyed watching and listening. ❤️
Sure, Kathleen, and welcome to my channel! I’ve been doing a gratitude journal since the early 1990’s. Any journal will work just fine for it. I write down three things I’m grateful for each day. It really helps me focus on the blessings in my life rather than what’s not so great. I hope it helps you too! Let me know if you have any other questions. ❤
Hi Gayle I am watching this late. I am taking a break from my ATTEMPT at purging my craft rooms. Such a big job so I completely see the utility of cleaning often. Wish me luck. I have so much stuff that I am feeling overwhelmed. And it is strewn across 4 rooms. I have the week off of work and it won’t be enough but it is a good start. But I am going to have one heck of a garage sale in a few weeks. Love you and thank you for the timely inspiration. Sending hugs💜💜💜 Vernie.
Maybe if I see your organization enough it will eventually sink in?? I can always hope 🤪. Thanks for always being so willing to help 😊. Need to start a grateful journal 😊
Thank you Gayle. I have a small crafting area in our sitting room so have to keep it tidy! I have found your destashing and sorting videos very helpful. I am following you in organising my stash in the same way as you do! I have tried other ways but yours seems to work for me, so thank you for sharing your way of organising. Have a wonderful day!
At the end of last year I began the purging and organizing process. OMG what we can accumulate! But like you I need to have my space organized to be creative! So glad to know I’m not the only one. Have a great day, Gayle.
Good morning Gayle, yessss I cannot function with things scattered about also! Indeed my mom & grams both use the same saying “a place for everything, and everything in its place” I’m a fanatic about order too! Thank you for sharing so much of what you do and God Bless! 💖
Thank you Diane I was organizing earlier tonite. It seems I’m always organizing. I spend most of my time looking for materials I need to follow your ‘motto’ everything in its place va I have way too much stuff my fabrics are out of control I need to spend time every day organizing Sending you hugs❤️
Awesome, wonderful video. I sit in a horse shoe, too. I have a small bedroom for a craft room. Right now I have a lot of putting away that I’m going through. I love your drawers on top and to the right of your desk. My desk is a folding table and I would like to get a few. I keep my Tim Holtz things close by on a shelf of one of the rolling carts. I have three rolling carts to make the right side and back of the U. My table is the middle and two three shelf racks to my left. As far as storing things we definitely think alike and you’ve certainly have given me some more ideas.🤗💕🦋
The little drawers are available on my website (listed in the description box under my videos) under Gayle’s Favorite Things at gayleagostinelli.com/gayles-favorite-things/. 👍❤️
Hello Gayle! I recently found your channel and subbed. I just thought last night that it would be neat to see a tour of your craft room (how ironic this came up today).I have got some great ideas for journals for our business. I want them more like a cross between a journal and photo album. Now I have some great ideas to "dress up" the pages. I'm so excited to get started once I get enough supplies together (slowly accumulating. Could you in one of your upcoming videos talk about what glues you use and what is best for what you are gluing? I currently have Fabri-Tac (bought for a different project. Thank you!! I enjoy watching!!!!
Wow it is a good thing that you liked to have a place for everything and everything in its place because in that with all the stuff that you had would never be able to find anything. LOL a videos video are so bad you talked about not being able to work in a messy space and I watch as you put the developing away after you're done instead of waiting forever to clean it up so you have inspired me. I got a new glass mat for Christmas and it is so much easier to keep clean. Thanks for sharing
Interesting video. I did enjoy watching and listening. Your life is far more exciting than mine!!! You also have good organizational skills which will help me as I ordered a new cart with two sets of drawers to use for everything that doesn't fit anywhere. Thank you, Gayle, for your friendship and for including us in your life. Love and hugs.
This was an event, so amazing that you can remember where everything is. I have a little spot in the corner of my living room for my crafts (since I live in a one-bedroom apartment) and I can never find what I'm looking for. Good on you for keeping it as organized as you do, I would be a wreck :) Good job...thank you so much for sharing your process.
So, I think it was me (a newbie) that asked for this video, so thank you, it was very helpful. And informative. And a good peek into your lovely crafting space. And hearing terms - like cluster. There’s a lot to learn. And I thank you 🤍🤍🤍.

I think this is a mental workout for us to keep us sharp! remembering where things belong!!and making the extra effort.
This was such an eye opener for me. I’m always working in a mess that I really don’t like because I feel caged in. This will be my year now, to clean up as I go inspired by you Gayle. Thank you. So there’s something to be grateful for as well, lol.

I had to smile when you said “a place for everything and everything in its place”. That was one of my Moms favorite sayings to her five daughters ❤

You’ve inspired me to create a little grateful journal for myself today. I’m grateful for your inspiration ❤
That’s a lovely thing to do!
I'm grateful for a wonderful friend like you!! 💖🐞
Isn't it so funny that to other people it often looks like "How can you ever find stuff here?" but you know exactly where everything is. It's like that in my craft room. I think your organisation is awesome!! Always love a tour around your room, Gayle! 😍💕❤
You're a gem Gayle. I am grateful for your videos. Hugs from Australia ❤

Oh gosh Gayle, I was so glad to find out I am not the only one who cannot create in chaos and have to tidy up after each project!😘❤️
You are not alone.
You are soooo, fun, Gayle! AND I am incredibly impressed that you know exactly what bin is what and where it is. I need to label all my things to remember … 😂 It’s always a treat to spend some crafty time with you!
Loving your happy and working space!!!! Thank you for being so generous with all of us!! ❤
Your craft room is so cozy ! I can see how relaxing and fun it is to film your videos there. Thank you for sharing your enjoyable spaces, it was really fun to watch. Best wishes and love to you Gayle !
Good morning Gayle perfect timing. Yesterday I watched 8 episodes of Alex curiosity Incorporated cleaning out a hoard house while I cleaned out four or five bins and boxes of stuff
You have such a large space and every inch has craft supplies in it! I’m amazed you can remember where everything is!
I agree cleaning up is essential to be creative I can’t do anything in a mess!
I agree! I think Gayle has a secret super power in knowing where all her supplies are! She is such a fun and joyful person that I learn so much from.
Thank you so much for showing your craft room today and how you organize.
I’m new at junk journaling and have spent the last couple of months reorganizing a office space and collecting/crafting supplies. This was so helpful!! ❤
I’m a new Gayle subbie and binge watched you the last couple days (while dealing with really bad allergies-ugh) and have decided we are long lost sisters! 😊😂
Thanks a lot!! 👍👍
Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️
good heavens your room is packed LOL
Your messy space looks like my cleaned up space! Thank you for sharing this - it was fun to see how an organized person lives! 😂😊
Great job Gayle one handing it!!! Glad to see you pack like I do for a retreat. Thanks for sharing.! ❤😍
I love seeing how everything is organized. I don't have much craft room space so "a place for everything and everything in its place" is a must, though I struggle to keep up sometimes when my kids craft in my room, too :P

You should tell Mike you got your work out today! Great organizing! Be blessed my friend!
I really love it when you do “weird” videos. This helped me so much. Cool. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕
Oh my great organization. Would you do a show of your desk with all the acrylic drawers and your organization of that. I love that system. Thanks again. for sharing your way.
Hey Gayle 😀 what a hoot...Thank you for birthing our kids!😂😂Next father's day you should write, Thank you for impregnating me! I'll bet he says, "My pleasure." 😂😂
This was a fun video. You should have seen the mess I had after helping my granddaughter make a Cinderella shoebox float for a book report😬😬 Happy Crafting!
So funny
Gayle yes ..a place for everything and everything in its place. So happy someone else lives this way! Oh yeah Atelier is pronounced - At- tah- le- ay
thank you Gayle. this was so fun and helpful. it's a joy to "spend time with you."
Very enjoyable video. What I find remarkable is that you remember where everything is with such a big space and so many containers! I have trouble with that, especially if I reorganize, and my room is tiny compared to yours. You have a great memory!
Good morning Gayle! I just got a new kitten and she loves watching you! We have “Gayle time” - we get cozy and watch your newest videos. Lol!
Hugs from Shannon and Noelle!
Give your little one a nice ear scratch for me! Thanks for watching, Shannon! ❤
You got me excited yesterday. Watching someone else clean up is so relaxing. 😀
A place for everything and everthing in its place ... ja ... that's what I've tried to teach my children ... some got it, some not ...
My mil had the idea to switch houses:
Can we switch houses? Your house is always neat and clean I like to live here.
Ähm ... but if you live here it's not longer neat and clean.
I know but when I've messed up your house my house is neat and clean 'cause you're living there then I can go back to my house ''till I messed it up again ....
Yeah ... thanks ...
We've never done it 'cause my neat and clean is too neat and clean she needs her chaos 🤣
But it was a quite funny conversation. Hubbys face expressions were priceless 🤣

Morning, Kelly! I’m a sucker for vintage too! Love it! ❤
Another good reason to live on the top floor. Heat rises and water doesn’t!

Thank you Gayle, last night when I left my craft space I remarked, " a place for everything and nothing in it's place". This needs to happen with me soon. Thank you for the inspiration. January is always a great time to start over reorganizing.
Great to see how you clean up after projects! I always get inspiration of how I can reorganize watching these videos! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Gayle, I really love it that you did this clean up and organizing videos, it inspires me to clean up my area. Lol, I clean and organize, then in a week or so, it’s all thrashed…😂 this was a very fun video. I ❤ it,
Thanks Gayle for the cleanup experience. Starting from an organized place is sure easier than crafting and then organizing the leftovers without a plan. Your Mother’s Day card flower was a perfect fit for a page! I am thinking of sending a blank page with my husband in future so he can do the same! Lol! Have a fun week! I am grateful for you.
Gayle, this was such a lovely video. The tour was so informative, the way you organize and know where everything has been placed. If I put something away, it's gone.-like my memory, lol. Thank you for taking the time to "show and tell". My craft room is small, about 90 square feet, but the way you organize will be helpful in the way I organize my goodies. Thanks again for all you do for all of us!!!
You're so nice!!! I just love watching you do what you do!
Loved this video!! I love organizing my space almost as much as crafting. I am so lucky to have a room for my crafting, my husband is extremely supportive of my “art” as it’s a huge destresser for me. Thanks Gayle, for your inspiration and your positivity. You are a light to your family and to all of us.✨✨✨✨
I am like you in that I also love to organize my supplies as much as I do crafting. (Maybe slightly more?) And I am acontainer collector. I am such a sucker for buying things to store things in. I have tried many products and have lit upon some solutions I really like. I am a walking Container Store (except I rarely shop there-too expensive). I like finding storage solutions everywhere. Happy crafting (and organizing!)
Oh Gayle, I am in shock about what your daughter is having to go through. First thing I think of are the photos and art pictures ok. It’s enough just having to move unexpectedly beside dealing with the dirty water. Prayers for her and her family. ❤️🐇
Thank you, June! ❤
I enjoyed this video very much! It was good to see how you organize. I only have 1/10th as much stuff as you do, but I feel pretty good about how I have organized things. As you know, it was a work in progress and of need. I agree with you, a place for everything and everything in it's place (after you finish a project). It is a mind set that works for me and apparently for you. I also follow your Scrappy Saturday videos. Thank you for sharing. Love, Sharon
Good morning Gayle 💜 On my way back to Colorado so I’ll be watching between flights.
Good almost afternoon Gayle!! I was watching you and 2 of my daughter's called me. Awesome to talk to them for over an hour!!🥰 So fun watching your clean up process. I'm the same way, don't like working in a mess. No one can say you don't get exercise crafting. You put in a lot of steps!! 🤣 Have an awesome day...💜
Loved this video. I used the time to listen to you and tidy my own craft area up. I have an idea for your use it up drawer, you could pull out the drawer and use that when decorating a batch of ephemera. That would “use it up” 😊 Thanks Gayle
Love the tidy up video. ❤🙏🏻💯❤️🕊
Gayle, that was great! Your poor daughter on her apt., I'm glad it turned out well. Yes, gratitude! xoxo
Thank you for reminding me that every thing has a place. But I fall short at everything in it’s place😊
Aaannnddd.. now I need a gratitude journal!! ❤️
My sister has been subbed to your channel for awhile now and suggested your videos to me. I’d love to see a little more of your gratitude journal and hear a bit more about it. Things have not been going my way lately and I’ve dug myself into a hole and desperately need to get out of it. Maybe if I start a gratitude journal things wouldn’t look as bleak as I feel. Thank you so much for sharing I’ve really enjoyed watching and listening. ❤️
Sure, Kathleen, and welcome to my channel! I’ve been doing a gratitude journal since the early 1990’s. Any journal will work just fine for it. I write down three things I’m grateful for each day. It really helps me focus on the blessings in my life rather than what’s not so great. I hope it helps you too! Let me know if you have any other questions. ❤
It’s nice to see in your use it up. Some smaller journals you are finishing up and putting on your Etsy.
Hi Gayle I am watching this late. I am taking a break from my ATTEMPT at purging my craft rooms. Such a big job so I completely see the utility of cleaning often. Wish me luck. I have so much stuff that I am feeling overwhelmed. And it is strewn across 4 rooms. I have the week off of work and it won’t be enough but it is a good start. But I am going to have one heck of a garage sale in a few weeks. Love you and thank you for the timely inspiration. Sending hugs💜💜💜 Vernie.
Love you, Vernie! Good luck!! 😂❤
Enjoyed seeing your crafting space!
Maybe if I see your organization enough it will eventually sink in?? I can always hope 🤪. Thanks for always being so willing to help 😊. Need to start a grateful journal 😊
Morning Gayle! : ) 4am here
Can't sleep. This is very interesting.
Wonderful video, Gayle. 🥰
Thank you Gayle. I have a small crafting area in our sitting room so have to keep it tidy! I have found your destashing and sorting videos very helpful. I am following you in organising my stash in the same way as you do! I have tried other ways but yours seems to work for me, so thank you for sharing your way of organising. Have a wonderful day!
Oh my gosh I loved this video so much. I'm such a sucker for the behind the scenes type content from my fav creators. Thank you for sharing.
Such a valuable vid! i got several ideas for better organization in my studio. Big thanks🦌💌❤️📚
Good morning Gayle. I love seeing your craft room. Now I have to wipe the drool off my chin...lol. Have a great day. Love and hugs.
Hi Gayle felt makes great padding for covers.
So many good things in this video! Love you my friend. I’m grateful for my friendship with you everyday.
And I’m grateful for you, dear Jamie! 😘❤️
Oh I really like the ink and ink dobber holder!
At the end of last year I began the purging and organizing process. OMG what we can accumulate! But like you I need to have my space organized to be creative! So glad to know I’m not the only one. Have a great day, Gayle.
You too, Anne! ❤
Yay I’m off to clean my craft room.
Good Morning Gayle! Mike is so funny “Thanks for birthing our kids” 😂🤣😂
❤️💕❤️
Good morning Gayle, yessss I cannot function with things scattered about also! Indeed my mom & grams both use the same saying “a place for everything, and everything in its place” I’m a fanatic about order too! Thank you for sharing so much of what you do and God Bless! 💖
Such a good video, Gayle! I have already found a few put away projects that I need to do. Also want to try some of your storage solutions! ~Carolyn
Inspirational and very pretty
Thank you Diane
I was organizing earlier tonite. It seems I’m always organizing. I spend most of my time looking for materials I need to follow your ‘motto’ everything in its place va I have way too much stuff my fabrics are out of control I need to spend time every day organizing
Sending you hugs❤️
Good Morning Gayle ❤️
Awesome, wonderful video. I sit in a horse shoe, too. I have a small bedroom for a craft room. Right now I have a lot of putting away that I’m going through. I love your drawers on top and to the right of your desk. My desk is a folding table and I would like to get a few. I keep my Tim Holtz things close by on a shelf of one of the rolling carts. I have three rolling carts to make the right side and back of the U. My table is the middle and two three shelf racks to my left. As far as storing things we definitely think alike and you’ve certainly have given me some more ideas.🤗💕🦋
The little drawers are available on my website (listed in the description box under my videos) under Gayle’s Favorite Things at gayleagostinelli.com/gayles-favorite-things/. 👍❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct Thanks!💖
Hello Gayle! I recently found your channel and subbed. I just thought last night that it would be neat to see a tour of your craft room (how ironic this came up today).I have got some great ideas for journals for our business. I want them more like a cross between a journal and photo album. Now I have some great ideas to "dress up" the pages. I'm so excited to get started once I get enough supplies together (slowly accumulating. Could you in one of your upcoming videos talk about what glues you use and what is best for what you are gluing? I currently have Fabri-Tac (bought for a different project. Thank you!! I enjoy watching!!!!
Loved watching you work in your craft room... Thanks for that🥰
Wow it is a good thing that you liked to have a place for everything and everything in its place because in that with all the stuff that you had would never be able to find anything. LOL a videos video are so bad you talked about not being able to work in a messy space and I watch as you put the developing away after you're done instead of waiting forever to clean it up so you have inspired me. I got a new glass mat for Christmas and it is so much easier to keep clean. Thanks for sharing
Interesting video. I did enjoy watching and listening. Your life is far more exciting than mine!!! You also have good organizational skills which will help me as I ordered a new cart with two sets of drawers to use for everything that doesn't fit anywhere. Thank you, Gayle, for your friendship and for including us in your life.
Love and hugs.
Love and hugs back, Julie! ❤
This was an event, so amazing that you can remember where everything is. I have a little spot in the corner of my living room for my crafts (since I live in a one-bedroom apartment) and I can never find what I'm looking for. Good on you for keeping it as organized as you do, I would be a wreck :) Good job...thank you so much for sharing your process.
Vewy, vewy serious creative space.
😂. Yep! I don’t do anything half way! 😂❤
Good morning, Gayle! It is great having all of that space! You are sooo organized!
Thank you 😊
Interesting and fun video! Thanks!
This was fun. I think it’s time for me to clean my raft room. You have encouraged me to do some organizing. Thanks for sharing 💕🌴
