Texas size hugs for you today sweet Gayle. I'm gonna take a moment to say how very much you mean to me. All of us appreciate your kindness, inspiration, & gentle soothing voice. As an insomniac, over-stimulated crafter, I truly don't know what I would do without you, my coffee buddy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sending love & light to everyone who needs it today. Take care my friend. xo

I was so afraid that you were talking about your friend Ronda. I saw her last youtube that she posted 12 days ago. I cried throughout her video. She very much needs our prayers. She is so brave and is a wonderful example of a strong woman. Big hug always. ❤❤❤

Gayle I’m So sorry for the loss of your friend Peg🙏🏻 Our hearts hurt when we lose the ones we love, having the sweet memories helps to get us through. Much Love Cynthia

I have been watching you since the first year you started. Its been a joy and blessing to watch you. Its funny like we dont know each other but we do through our stories and our community. When my son passed it was watching your videos that I am truly going to say saved my sanity. Your laugh, your silly mistakes and words would make me laugh in the midst if the worst thing that can happen to a parent. I fell (and still do) asleep to your voice that always had a calming effect on my anxiety. I lost my best friend of 50 yrs in Jan so I know that feeling. You have treated everyone of your subbies like best friends and allowed us in a way to be part of your family, your personal trials and life. I truly love you and always pray for you. This is the part of getting older (im 70) that stinks. Losing friends. God bless you for the gift of journal making (I learned from you) the gift of gab and the gift of a huge heart. Never underestimate the power of love you hand out daily. Love ya! Carol Siddall ❤❤❤

I’m so sorry you lost a dear friend, it’s so hard to loose people we care for. You are an inspiration to so many and are appreciated for all the creativity you share with us. No need to apologize for being emotional, we have all been there, it’s part of the grieving process. Hugs to you. 🩵🦋🩷

So sorry for your loss, Gayle. You are such an awesome, kind person. You are a great friend to so many people you have never even seen. You are a very important part of life for so many like me. I look forward to watching your videos and hearing your stories. Love and hugs to you, our friend!

I can tell that you are an absolute sweet soul, I hope God will heal your hurting heart. Thank you for all you do, I really enjoyed listening to your sweet boys and having you teach me some crafting skills.

I am so sorry, Gayle, for your loss. Please 🙏 never apologize for tears. We love you Gayle, no matter what you go thru or what you are facing, just know we are beside you in thoughts and prayers always. You are a wonderful mother, grandmother, and friend. You are an example to all of us. ❤ Huge giant hugs 🫂 🤗 Stamping strips are addictive lol. When I run out and need them for projects, I love taking a day or two to just let the ink and creativity fly ❤ If I learned one major lesson in my life after losing so many, it's that you can never say "I love you" enough. We can't take physical possessions when we leave this world but we will have our memories and that to me is the most precious gift of all. My partner and I made a promise to each other, to say I love you every morning and every night and tell those we love as often as we can, because life is so very short ❤

So sorry for your loss never really fit’s these situations. I believe you don’t “lose “ someone. They will always be part of your life but in just a different way. I am so glad you were able to celebrate your friend with us for a bit. As far as you being grateful for all of us I know at least for me that is definitely a two way street. And for encouraging us to watch Toni, I found her a few weeks ago. She is a delight! Have a good day, Gayle. Continue to talk about Peg and celebrating her life. Feeling sad? Maybe picking pine needles will help. I know crafting always works for me.

I’m so sorry for your loss! Thank you for your generosity and sharing your talents and your heart with us every day!

RIP to our crafting family. Thank-you Gayle for being here for us everyday. You are a blessing and I Thank you.

I'm so sad knowing you're hurting w/ the shocking news of Peg's passing...sending you the gentlest of hugs!!! 😭💔🤗🤗🤗 I'm GRATEFUL beyond what words can express for YOU!!! 🙏🏼❤️🕊❤️🙏🏼

I'm finding the hardest part of aging isn't the extra aches and pains, it's saying goodbye to friends passing ahead of me. Sorry for your loss, grateful for the memories.

I’m so sorry about your friend Peg. I cried for her and for you. Thanks for being real and sharing with us. Big hugs. ❤

So sorry to hear about your friend Gayle...thank you for still doing a video for all of us in spite of your sadness.

Gayle, you exhibited everything that's the very best of being human and in belonging to this JJ community. Your heart and compassion, your love, your care and kindness...a willingness to share the highs, lows, and everyday things...your capacity to teach crafting and all manner of things that you aren't even aiming to teach (like the aforementioned qualities), your daily inspiration...and so much more. My heart goes out to you, wrapping you with every ounce of kindness and care. I think you know how much you mean to this community, and I've no doubt the comments on this video will testify to that. But just to be clear - YOU make my every day so much better and brighter. Love you. ❤ Belinda xxx

My heart and prayers go out to you and your friend's family and friends. 💜

Gayle, we are very blessed to have you and your channel! Thank you for being here every day. Carolyn

Dear Gayle. Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your friend Peg. Although you are grieving remember to take time to think about all the wonderful memories that the two of you shared. Sending you lots of love and thanks for all the inspiration and giggles you have brought to my life through your videos.

Gayle,I watch you more than anyone else!I love your personality and your style of crafting,you are a natural!! I feel like I know you personally, your sense of humour tickles me and I tell my husband the things you say ( Talk among yourselves) ? Our God is an awesome God,I will say a little prayer to the holy mother for your friend and you!!!!!

Warm heart hugs sweet Gayle, Peg is looking over you while you craft. Love your constant stream of ideas, love the repeats as there is always something new to remind us. UNFINSHED cluster book would be a good place to store the finished ingredient piece. I have put a plastic pocket /stitched page [with elastic] for "fodder" next to WIP clusters. Each plastic pocket page has 4 sides, so each ingredient is separate and easily seen to top up! Also try glue dots to fix your finished pieces, and heat with a hair dryer if they become stubborn :) Love you lots, warm prayers as always Helen 🤧💖📖
