What a blessing to be with your kids and the grands so much.

Love the altered envelope from Christie! your eco papers are scrumptious gayle as are the other digitals you shared! excited about the upcoming videos you talked about, covers and the orchard journal. the tags you made are gorgeous. your a busy bee my friend, enjoy all the company and Alfie. tyfs, thank you for the inspiration and making me smile ❤😊❤

Your video's are very inspiring, Gayle. I love the Eco Dyed paper, so pretty and your new digi's are cool. Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us.

Absolutely beautiful eco dyed papers. No kidding, some of the best I've seen so far. I like how clear you can see the leaves and such. Stunning, great job! Nice digi kits. Boy your on fire with the digis! They are all so beautiful and you can tell a lot of thought went in to them. Thank you for sharing all your ideas. I love it!

Omgoodness these papers have come out so well. They are beautiful. TYFS XXX

The papers came out beautiful! The video on how you do them was really helpful too. Thanks for all you do and share with us. Hugs!!

I love how you have your signatures sorted by theme. I've never made a theme book but have lots of ideas for them. Sorting my papers by theme into file folders would be a good start. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

My eyes catched the german writing on the ledger paper from the 1st kit. Thought I might let you know which province some of the towns are located...in case you visit Germany one day 🙂 Quedlinburg= Saxony-Anhalt; Halle= Saale; Nordhausen=Thuringia and Stolberg is in Rhineland.

LOVE THE DYED PAPERS,AND YOUR VIDEOS=HUGS/BLESSINGS

I have but one word...AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! I swear, each project is better than the last one. Hugs until next time! ;-)

I'm so excited about the readers digest books. I found several for 10 cents a piece.

Love your pàpers!

Hello, Gayle! I haven't written before actually I just found out how and where to comment on my phone.🤣 Anyway your creativity is very inspiring and of course your happy personality makes your videos enjoyable . Great eco dyes. My hellos again from GREECE!!!!!

Love your videos😁 and love having you in the background while i craft ♥️

Thank you so much Gayle! Everything is looking lovely and I am so happy you like the digis. Btw I saw two people facing each other while sitting under a large tree each.🤣💕😺Amy

👌💙🐦 Thank you, so inspiring. Oh happy days...

I’m so excited about all the fun to come! Scratch Alfie behind the ears for me. 😁

Botanical grits! LOL!! That's great, Gayle! Love your humor! You are never old when you keep your fun humor like that! So unfair about international not getting free shipping or at least a discount on the shipping. I know it can be expensive to ship overseas, but maybe take off the amount that shipping would be in the US and charge the difference. And love the naked journals using Reader's Digests. Some bare-butt pages for someone to really get pimped up!!! 😄 The botanical prints really do dress up the orchard journal. And very nice on the collages tags.Just beautiful! Again, so inspired with all you do. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely eco dying and ledger paper! TFS the inspiration, Gayle!

Love it all! You are much blessed, as are we!

Gayle, i seen two old gnarled trees!great job, loved them all!

Wow. They turned out beautifully. They look like micro photography close up

loved the hodge podge video. I watched the eco dye video. Mike did a fine job of videoing. I really enjoyed seeing the process and the result.

Your eco-dyed paper turned out beautifully. I've missed a few days of videos so I have some catching up to do. Nice happy mail from Chris, and I like your new digitals. I'm excited about what's coming up. You've had some great requests. Beautiful collaging as usual!

Gayle your eco papers are beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴

Love the journal and papers! 👍🌻🌻🌻

So glad you will be sticking with the hour videos. Thank you for sharing 🤗

Really great video Gayle! It was just a plethora of goodness lol! Lots of variety!

Love ur eco dyed paper, you've done it again perfect job. Look forward to the cover tutorials too c the different ways u make them.

I love the Eco dyed papers they look amazing xx :)

Missed this the first time, enjoyed watching it today, great job.

Journal went really fast I knew it would! Just wanted to pop in and say Hi...usually I am watching your videos on the TV and can not respond. I have yet to watch them all LOL and I will LOL and I enjoys the gab/rant session as well. You all feel like friends when you talk about your families and such. Keep it coming!

They are fantastic! Gorgeous work!

Love, love, love, those eco dyed papers. I’m just starting out on this journey and I appreciate you showing how to do these different things. I watch all your videos. There are others on YT that say they learn from you. And I love your “up” personality. You lift me on my bad days. May God bless you. See you next video.

I love all the digi kits you have in your stash to play with. Even the ones you have in your Esty. However I don't have a printer. I'm excited about you starting new journals... I'll be tuned in everyday as usual... 😊❤️

Yea!!! I have a lot of Readers Digest covers too. Can't wait to see what you do!

I enjoyed this series of videos and the beautiful results! The gray coloring was pulling at my memory and I finally realized why. Google " How to age wood". I saw a tv program about it. They used old nails, steel wool and different metal "bits" in vinegar to create a grayish stain. Thanks for sharing your beautiful journals and creations!

Those came out so pretty! You have inspired me to give it a try! Thank you for sharing the process!

Oh those papers r so pretty...the eco ones..I knew they were going to be nice..love some of those readers digest covers u have..will be keeping an eye on those..liking this journal your making too..busy bee...🌷

Yours turned out beautiful! Mine never turn out very good. I think it’s the leaves I’m using. Thank you for sharing yours Gail! 🤗💖🌸

Hi Gayle, I love how the eco dyed papers came out! I have to say your peacock page to you is a butterfly page when I look at it🤣🤣 Looking forward to the readers digest series!!! I have one but had noooo idea what to do with it!! Hugs🤗💜

Awesome eco dying pages! Love it!

I love all of these papers

Your eco dyed papers are wonderful!! It's still on my "to do" list to try that out. Love how yours turned out, the colors are just stunning! Awesome digis too, love seeing "my" ledgers again! Great job! Love and big hugs!!

Your deco dyed pages turned out beautiful. Love your video

Great eco-dye papers! I saw a big owl face! Lol!

I watched your eco dye videos they were amazing & the papers are gorgeous

Eco paper is awesome 🌻

These are so beautiful!!

I totally agree about Etsy but THOSE ECO DYED PAPERS OF YOURS, MARVELOUS! Thanks for sharing

Love the german ledger paper! Awesome Digis! xo

I love those papers!

Nice eco! I see two cockatoos having a conversation.

Stunning!

The eco dyed papers look wonderful! I'm so interested to see how his Orchard journal comes out because I love the options for earthiness and grunginess. Thanks for another fun video, Gayle. And yes, I was concerned about Esty's new policy change since I plan to open an Etsy sometime within the next few months. After watching Nik and several other artists and journal makers, I've decided to not go along with their non-sense and like you are doing, just do my own promotion. It was good to get another opinion on this issue. Thanks again.

You inspired me to try my hand at coffee dyed and tea dyed papers today, now I have something else to try!

Wonderful as always!

Love them.

Gorgeous!!

The eco dying is awesome! Makes me want to do some now, but it's 10 PM!!

Wow so awesome. Never heard of Echo dye. Sorry if I misspelled it. Love , I want to try this. So funnnnn

Hi Gayle! I hope you took pictures & are going to put the new eco-dyed pages on Etsy! (They're special, because we got to watch you make them!!) Especially the Peacock one!!!

Your eco dyed papers are so yummy.

These are so neat!

Your Eco papers turned out be! Looking forward to see how you use the Readers Digest covers. I’m currently working on two journals using Readers Digests. I love the size!

Good morning Gayle. The eco-dyed paper turned out absoutely stunning. Having my hubby go get me some mesh wire so I can try this. I am at our camper in the mountains and all the wild flowers I think would do great. Really excited to try this. Thanks for the video showing how you did this. Have a great day. Hugs❤

Superbe! Lovely papers!

I knew there was a reason I liked you! My birthday is August 9, 1946!❤️

Beautiful eco papers. I have the same Reader’s Digest book you have with the spine cover cracked off. I love the pink and blue line of those books from the 60’s but I notice most of the spines are cracked when I find them in thrift stores but covers are gorgeous colors.

You could add that "Steamy Secrets" journaling tag that you got from your other Happy Mail to the romance one! 🤩

The eco papers are gorgeous!! I bought a big pot, and hope to do it soon. I live in Arizona, so flowers are going to be hard to find..however, I live near a flower shop so I might have to drop in and see what they have :) can’t wait to try it !!

Love the naked journals idea! That will help you use up some of your supplies! Wonderful!

Absolutely loving your eco dyed papers and all the great ideas

Gayle! I love you SOOO much. I watch every day and always laugh. BTW I'm 6 weeks older than you.

Love the new Journal you are working on and the eco dyed papers! I always enjoy watching you create tooooo!! Blessings!❤️

The pages are all so unique. Will make great additions to any journal. Can’t wait for the next journal cover vids.

I just love this German ledger! I also think your eco-dyed paper is the BEST!

Just a thought to try for the crumbly bits coming off the papers...how about a tiny sprinkle of cornstarch applied and brushed off with a paint brush? Try it first on a page that's not your favorite (if there IS one...because they are so pretty!)...but I think it should work without leaving a powder residue. I've used it before when making cards.

Everything is beautiful but my favorite is the ledger paper. Regarding Etsy I'm just not going to participate in the free shipping most of my items are smalls anyway and as far as the promoting I didn't have any traffic until Salena with AmourFabriQues purchased items from my shop and did a sharing on her channel. She is awesome and I have had steady customers since then. Its really nice your getting more time with family, we are actually going to Florida at the end of August to see our middle daughter I'm so excited. Thank you for these inspirations!

watched your Eco dye video..(watch all you vid's)...omg...Im so so going to try this....Thank you....now fully dried they all look even more amazing !!

Love the eco dyed papers - really want to have my own try at it and see what happens - Hugs

*Lolly Palooza did a great & imformative video too, little more in depth + some "legal info", because it is illegal to raise your price to cover a "free item". * Love the new eco dyed papers!! Definately scanable, for sure!

Superb Gail there exciting lovely eco dying 👏😘🤗

Thank you so much for this video! I have a bunch of readers digest condensed books, my mom subscribed for over 20years! Also I did watch Nic's piece on etsy and it was very helpful.

Love the rant...Etsy gets more $ when you include tax...pretty clever of them❤️by the way “good morning “🐇

Love the eco dye papers ..gorgeous and your digital kits are wonderful. Hugs alissa

Gayle the eco dyed papers turned out amazing! I love them! You see peacocks on that one page and I saw ovaries 🤷🏼‍♀️🤪

Great video.

I was born 1956 also, I love your boho digital I just bought it so excited ( SM Tiffany Lane )

I love your hodge podge videos! Your Eco dyed papers are so pretty. Not to add to the rant, but as a shopper only on Etsy and a former eBay seller. I don't think the "free shipping" helps sellers get more exposure. eBay did the same thing years ago & I didn't buy into it.... As a shopper on Etsy I have never used their search engine because I don't think it works well. All the shops I buy from have been because of word of mouth or the seller promotes their shop.... Not sure how other buyers see things, but maybe there are other shoppers like me....

Very nice 👍

LOVE the eco-dye papers, was kind of a cliffhanger waiting to see them dry. =-) A while back I found two large totes full of Reader's Digest books. They were in perfect shape and didn't look like they had ever been opened up. I noticed that all the spines up until early 1950's, I think '54, were great, but they must have changed after that, every single one from that year forward the spine cracked and fell off when opened. New and improved right?? =-)

Purchased some of your eco-dyed digitals. Hope you make some of the ones you just showed. La-la-la...can't keep watching my cart will be overflowing again. LOL (you're younger than I am...May 1949 so I'm really old) That's the handle I was asking about sometime ago. Good to know the info. Thanks

I’m in agreement with you! Regarding Etsy. I’ve just started but feel like pulling out of it as I am so confused 🤷‍♀️. Might need to check out Nik. Love crafting with you. Did a couple of videos then back with ya xx🥰

I search and search, can never find Readers Digest books like the covers you have. Ever thought of Etsy listing some? They are beautiful. Love the Eco dying ones. Have to find some rusty bits. Xx

Next time you come to Colorado maybe we need to plan a meet up with a bunch of us from Colorado. I know there is Chelle & Clint, Nike the booksmith, you and I. I’m sure there are more too!

If you used a microfiber cloth to wipe the pages off it will help eliminate the crumbs from the eco-dyed papers. The cloth will also hold the crumbs on the cloth and not wipe them onto your work station..

Beautiful eco dyes! Please say you’re scanning those! Lol.

MISS YOU! I HAD SOME VOCATION TOO.

Good Morning Gail
