Your entire family is on my prayer list. I know first hand how much it helps. Never underestimate the power of prayer. It is good that you keep going with your art. It soothes the soul and eases the mind. And you make such fabulous, fun projects.

Prayers for your daughter and husband, and for you also taking care of them and staying strong. Your an amazing woman! I love you!

I realized how engaged in your video I was when I touched the screen to straighten something for you.

Gayle, I just want to let you know, if you don't already !! That you are truly inspirational. I have attempted many of your ideas, and it gives me a reason to buy more stuff and get up in the morning to play. So thank you for sharing your life. Love Jo xx

I'm glad i'm not the only one who struggles with ideas, thinking it'll work and then changing it, well done Miss G, love it!

Absolutely love, love ,love how this turned out! You sis so well for a tired, no sleep person! This book is a fabulous idea! Makes me want to make one, lol😂!

Gayle I've been watching alot of your old videos because I love to watch you everyday and sometimes more then once. I've learned so much from watching you. I just love this altered book. What an artist you are. This book is awesome. Thank you for all the things you show us because I'm a newbie and it makes me so excited to make alot of journals and try all different types. I especially love watching your collaging.

Wow Gayle this book is so beautiful and I love your process! Thanks again for the mention. It brings my heart so much joy to get to see how the pages are being used. Thankyou so much! Praying for good health for your hubby and daughter, and peace for your heart too. Sending heaps of love. ❤️💕💐

Such great ideals....praying everyone gets well a d on the road to complete healing❤❤❤❤

You, my lady, are a GEM!! I love watching your videos. You never know what is coming. LOL😎

I love the floral paper you used in your layout, so pretty! Sending prayers...

I am LOVING watching your process with this altered book. I also know i will refer to it time and time again for ideas on what you did in here. It is SOOOO beautiful.

This journal is gourgeous. I love both of the pages you did today. Happy to hear that your daughter is doing better. Hoping too that Mike's issues arent too serious. He sounds like a very good guy !!

Beautiful I just love all the vibrant colors from the digitals. Glad to hear your daughter is doing better I hope your husband gets better and take care of you. Hugs

I really like how the doily pages came out, especialy the music pieces with the string. I've learned so much watching your videos and love your laugh..you make me laugh with you! Sending a prayer for your daughter and for your hubby. Thanks for sharing your talent and life with us.

I am enjoying this altered book so much!! I am working on altering books covers as you do this. So relaxing... I would be interested in book pages for what I am working on...Prayers and hugs to you and your family.

And over a year later, that big mustard label comes back to haunt you. 99% of the time, you and I will pick the same embellishment but this is that 1% that went awry. Maybe the color on my computer does not do it justice. I do love watching you do this book. So inspiring.

Hi Gayle...prayers are being said for your husband and daughter!!! Yes, I would like your book papers! 🌸

Galye ,Not tired at all with this book. Absolutely love what your doing with it, and have been saving them all so I can make one of my own. So keep on do'in your thing!!!!!

You asked if watching videos of this book was tiring. Nope!! Not for me!! I garner so much from watching your process. No matter what you are working in or on! From listening to what you are thinking as you progress, and from your thoughts as you change your mind, going along from page to page. ie.: "I'm not lovin' how this is turnin' out"!! :-) Priceless Gayle, priceless!!! :-)

My husband and I loved that movie “I Can Only Imagine” I love the words to the song too. Praying for wellness for all of you. The journal is gorgeous, forget about your To Do list. Remember your word. FREE. ❤️❤️

Yes I think that's a great idea putting your extra book pages on Etsey. Also it would be great to have a opportunity to purchase some of the things you find at estate sales. Because of my health I don't get a chance to get out that much anymore. Besides I'm in Idaho and Montana is not that far away for mail to travel, at least for me. I'm sure there are others in the same boat as myself. Love watching your channel always! Thank you Jannell Cook

Your book is like any really good book,.... don't want it to end. I'm always amazed at how right your choices of things to put o a page are.I always learn from watching your videos. Even if it is "just go for it!"

Prayers for your family. Your book is coming along nicely!

No Not tired of this book. Enjoying it much! Keep going. Starting one as soon as I finish one I’m working on now. Prayers for your family 🙏

You kept me company in the hospital. Praying for your family

Hey there just wanted to say that the circle looks like an old mirror, very nice …… also prayers to your daughter and husband, hope they feel better very soon

Lovely watching you work through the creative process 😊😻💕

Hello Gayle I'm glad your daughter is doing better; Prayers for you and your Family Hugs : )

I'm a little behind, trying to catch up. This altered book is really looking so cool! Thanks for all the ideas. I'm glad your daughter is feeling better. Hugs from Chicago!!

You did it again! The edge of the grey border around the flower lines up with the edge of the grey page!!

Gayle This Book is turning out so cute. Love it...Dar

I am really enjoying this series. It is very therapeutic. I am looking forward to making one of these books. My prayers are also with you and your family. I lit a candle for your daughter at church on Sunday and said a prayer. I will do one for your husband as well. Thank you again for the inspiration. Cheers Kathie. (Form Adelaide, Australia)

WOAH! 15 minutes and you got to use your papers you were going to use in the beginning ! Amazing 😉

I love your book! Its beautiful! Praying for you and your family:)!

Sometimes it just falls in place and other times the planets don’t align right away...then tomorrow when you open the book it is like magic...the page looks great...thanks to those craft spirits that wave their wands and poof all fixed👍❤️

The comment from Janet Gills was funny. But you ARE listening to ME today. Especially when you were trying to get the backing off the round label and I said, “Gayle, don’t you dare get that pen knife out! You’re too tired!” Right on cue you said your hubby told you not to pick up a knife today. And a few days back when the grandkids were getting ready to argue over the same book I said, “We’e solving this MONTANA LADY STYLE...ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!” Thank you for the humor, joy, and enthusiasm you bring as you share with us and teach us!

Xtra prayers for Mike! Yes that’s perfect !!!

Never get tired of watching something new. Love it and your videos.

Binge watching to catch up with u while working on my own journals! As always great, great stuff! Hugs back at ya Renee from Nebraska

Loving the bits you picked for these pages..🌷

Always lovely. Thank you for sharing.

I loved that movie!! One of my favorite songs!!

Thank you for sharing this Gayle. I had shown a book that I picked up at an Estate sale in one of my videos and someone suggested I use it as an altered book because it has pretty "torn" edges, so this has given me lots of ideas : ) Thank you!

I am not tired seeing the glue book. I just love all the beautiful inspiring pages that you create. Thanks for being such a generous person.

Yes I think you should try it. ( book pages on Etsy) you have so many nice pages. You could bundle them up with book pages from colored pages from other books. Especially the older book pages they are hard to come by

Love this book. I'm going to try one of my own. Thanks for the inspiration!

Ove watching your process🥰 thoughts are with you for your hubby and your daughter xx

I will keep your husband and daughter in my prayers. Keep taping this for us. I am learning so much and I wanna make one to. Be Blessed.

Glad your daughter is feeling better and tell Mr.A to try and get some rest so his body can heal. You take care of yourself too. You will all be in my prayers. This altered book seems to given you “freedom “ to just make pretty and interesting pages with out a restraining theme. We are enjoying watching you just have fun.

This altered book is awesome! Ive been enjoying your process, how you decide on images where to put what..... it has sure helped me. I do have a couple of books that i would like to try and alter so watching you and visiting everyday has been great! Your book is awesome so far!! Can’t wait for more...Continuing to pray for you and your family. Have a blessed day ❤️🌹

I just adore this project, Gayle! So glad you're taking a little break to work on it and so thankful that you're doing videos of the whole process - I would happily watch 100 days of altered book 💕

Glad that things are better with your daughter. I am enjoying the book. God bless your house with healing. Hugs!

Oh pleae don't continue this book without us along.......you have inspired me to work on one with you and I lost my mojo months ago, actually years, due to some tragic events in my life. So I am having fun working along with you.

I like this collaged altered book you did! 🍄

I'm loving this series

So many prayers coming your way! I’m loving this book, keep video-ing it please. And I’m hoping you got your nap 😴

I just watched this video again as I am working on a Christmas journal. I hope you got to watch the movie again, I Can Only Imagine, it was awesome! If you are looking for some good Christian movies War Room, God’s Not Dead 1,2 and 3 and Courageous are just a few of really good ones! I watch your videos over and over and usually have them going while I’m working. Have a super day and I hope your husband and daughter are both doing better.

Prayers continue for your hubby, daughter and you too as well as her family. Hope his cold goes away soon. Airborne is great to take to keep from getting sick or to help get better faster. You can get it at any store or drug store in case you want to get some. Hope everyone is doing better soon. Hugs sweetie 🤗💕🤗 Loving your book too.

Chuckling to myself at Janet Gills' comment below about your "disagreement." I was doing something similar when you were dithering with the labels. "You need real texture now, Gayle! Fibers!" And then you did. Through the amazing coolness of KZfaq, back through time, you heard me and did it. ;-) I've not yet done an altered book. Not sure I will unless I come across the right kind of book, I guess. I'm glad to hear your daughter is doing better. My son, Jason, has an incredibly difficult medical history, and while he's not dealt with Crohn's, he once had a roommate in the hospital who did - a little guy, only 6. I felt so badly for him and his mother. And of course, this was more than 35 years ago, so I'm sure treatments weren't what they are now Being the mother of someone with a chronic illness is its own kind of pain. And when they are adults and you're not the one making decisions and keeping records and monitoring meds, etc., after a lifetime of doing so, well, it makes me twitchy crazy when he gets ill now! But I keep my mouth shut unless he or his wife asks something about his history or what we'd do. I just take my twitchy crazy self to the craft room and work it out. ;-) Prayers, Gayle, and love.

Loving the way this art journal is turning out, Gayle! I am definitely not tired of it. :) Continuing to pray for you & your families health! Take care of yourself too! xoxo

Love this Gayle! Sending big hugs! Chelle

hi gayle, hope you got caught up on sleep, i am worthless when i'm tired and running on fumes. you got a lot accomplished even if it felt like all cylinders weren't firing! lol you used scissors! hooray!! now we wait for the tearing rulers to see how they do, i kinda think scissors will be the best for the tiny edges.... it's just too tricky to get a good hold/pinch....hmm, maybe trying to grab the skinny edge with tweezers....? i might try that. glad to hear some good news for your daughter. hope mr A gets to feeling better and things go well for him. you are in my thoughts my friend.... tfs and inspiring even when your tired 😍

Love mustard n dark blue. The pages turned out fab. I was a wee bit dubious in the beginning but Gayle nailed those pages.

The detail you attend is so mesmerizing to me! Many of my own pages are bare-looking to me! I suppose I need to build my 'stash' a little better to get to this degree of detail. Volleyball was what I was good at in sports. My junior high school had a competition between the different classes(periods), where the winning team would play the faculty. My team won among all the classes, but, we didn't beat the faculty! LOL I served a ball that was difficult to return. It's all in the spin when you serve! LOL I scored my team 12 points in a row! LOL Thank you so much, Gayle! That you post every day is awesome!

This book is turning out beautifully! I hope you enjoy some peaceful rest.

I like it too! Go take a nap. They are awesome!

Offcourse I will pray for your husband! I hope he is soon feeling better. It's nice to hear that your daughter is feeling well a little bit. I hope they will find a better medicine. So she has a better time soon. About your book, I like the pages with the blue elements. It's a real artwork! You have so much pretty printables. They all match.

I just love how you are decorating this book. now I want to do another!!! you are such an inspiration, hope you get some rest!!!! HUGS

Thank you so much for doing this series! I started d my first altered book today and am loving it! I have made two junk journals so far and a million ideas for more. Thinking of morphing my mini albums with them!!! Keep up the lovely work 👍

I’m watching almost a year later & enjoying it. I picked up a couple books at $ Store to do altered book so I sought this old video out for ideas & techniques.

Love watching your videos and this altered book is awesome

REALLY LOVE THIS SERIES-I AM NOT TIRED OF THIS ALTERED BOOK AT ALL-I AM A PERSON WHO CAN NOT SEW-SO ITS GIVING ME LOTS OF IDEAS -YOU ARE THE BEST GAYLE-PRAYERS FOR MR. A-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

You areA.M.Z.i.N.G. I love love love the “simple string “on the music paper idea💕

This is fun. I've started my altered book. It's so much fun and it helps use up some paper stash. Thanks for the inspiration. sending well wishes to your daughter and hugs to you and family. xxx

So so nice, i love it.👌👌👏👏👏

Prayers for the fam and extra prayers for the hubs!

Book pages, an excellent idea. Love your pages❤️

Thanks for the watch!

Prayers for you and your family!

I can’t wait to try altering a book! Love this and your new digi’s!!

wanted to add prayers for you too! dealing with all of that is hard on you too! hugs!

Brilliant! I love it, Gayle. It really came together...but isn't that always the way? 😉

Oh yay. I saw you using your deckle edge scissors on the skinny parts that are hard to do with the ruler. The book is looking fantastic so far. Loving all of it.

I'm really enjoying this series, always wondered what an altered book was tfs xx

New subscriber today! Really enjoying your project. Thanks for sharing

We had our first disagreement today! I was shaking my head and saying no not that one ( the mustard colored label) my husband gave me the look 👀. 😂🤣

Beautiful!☀️🌴

Really like that blue page your did with the blue trimmed tag!

Sending prayers for your family

Prayers for your family members who are suffering with illness and to you as a care giver. It can be rough. I understand.

👍 for the Mercy Me / I can only imagine shout out 💖

🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏for your family!

I love this Gayle!

saying prayers for your daughter and for mr. a .

I would think new peps would like book pages! When your new as you remember coming up with paper to use isn’t easy!! So if you have over abundance go for it Gayle!

I was watching another lady do an altered book, she just put the glue on, closed the book & opened it right back up. To eliminate the buckling, she said that way it uses the books natural shape, or something like that? Lol Made sense and it looked like it worked & layed a little flatter. Just sharing an idea. :) Yours is lovely. So glad your daughter is feeling better. Sorry & hugs to you & hubby that he feels better fast.

This is great! For a second I thought you were using real doilies. (They do look like the real thing)Lol! Go enjoy a nap and get some rest. 😉❤

Love it

❤
