Yes, that's a great thought...we ALL benefit from the inclusive spirit of sharing in the online art community!! There are so many of us who get to experience a whole new world that was just waiting with open arms to welcome us. Many of us are retired, or infirmed, or alone & forgotten, or just love creating, & people like you are so generous with sharing what you've learned. I guess many of the artists will never know the far reaching impact they have had & continue to have on so many lives. Thank You from one of them!!

I love 'let's ink and think." That needs to be on a t-shirt!

Going to be a cute book. Arty m puts glue on the back of her hand then drags it threw those thin parts. I love that. Really works. Then it just peels of your hand when it drys. Nice.

Beautiful! You're so funny! Apologizing to a paper bird for bending his beak! Too cute! LOL

I'm really enjoying this altered book demonstration! I haven't done one yet but it's on the list and watching you do it from start to finish is perfect. It is so lovely. What a brilliant idea your daughter and her friends have come up with to hire a 'tutor'. Teaching is a pretty specialized profession and parents are parents, not educational teachers. Everyone benefits!

Oh Gayle ! You crack me up! Love your tutorials, never miss but don’t always comment to save you time! Hugs Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

Washi stickers are the best and the worst all at the same time.😂 I love how well this is all just coming together Gayle. TFS Hugs, Amy💕😺

Poor bird! lol! I'm so enjoying and look forward to the next video watching you put this book together.

Thanks so much for all of the things you've taught us. The things to do at the beginning of a project and even the things not to do !! lol you are very talented. I would never have thought to altering a book without utube. I just love all of you utube crafters. You are one of my faviorites

Measure twice, cut once...is a good practice to get it into....😻

Your so talented you make something so pretty from nothing. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

Just as soon as I can get out to the dollar store I’m getting me a book. You are so awesome.

Good Morning Gayle. Kudos to your daughter and her friends. The "tutor" for your grandkids is an excellent idea. I think you (or your daughter) will see that the students are actually learning faster and retaining the information because the distractions of a public school settings are gone. I homeschooled my 3 kids when it was just beginning to take hold. Here in California we were on the forefront of acceptance and legalizing home schooling. My daughter has 2 degrees and now working on a Masters. The whole time she has stayed employed. The boys were not particularly found of school - public or private ( they did both) but are gainfully employed. Educating children is challenging but very rewarding, no matter the method of instruction.

LOVE! The little pocket tag you made at around 19:20 needs your KIND stamp on it. I just love when you add it. lol Such a fun series, thank you for sharing!

Love the bunny pocket you first showed..you always do beautiful work Gayle. I want to be like you when I grow up..LOL. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Great idea on having a substitute teacher help with children too. Things are still up in the air in our state about opening schools. I like how you coordinated the paper. Can’t wait to see what you do with the cover, I need ideas. 👍🌻🌻🌻

Loving this altered book. TFS

It's taken me two weeks but I'm all caught up. Woo hoo! Down side...no more binge watching. Love this journal, Gayle. I'm feeling inspired to make one myself. X

Lovely book I love all the ephemera you have been making. Your book page ephemera snippets are ingenious. What a great way to use the crafting art pages of other artists. I have enjoyed this amazing Series. Thank you for again teaching from your bank of knowledge.

You just amaze me .... I could not cover up those beautiful collage ephemera but you go for it❤️. Your poor flowers in the back of your books, they never get loved ... lol. I sure enjoy your stories and tales of JimmyJo🐶🤣. Thru this time of being restricted KZfaq has been my people contact ... thanks for sharing!

Hi Gayle, I've been missing in action for a while, my attention needed to be focused elsewhere. I'm back in my craft room now, raring to go and able to indulge in "Gayle Time" once more. Thank you for this series, like others I am crafting alongside you. Enjoy your well earned hammock time. x

More fun each day! Blessings --Cindy

Lots of fun ephemera created in today’s episode Gayle. I so love this altered book!!! TFS!!! Hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

good morning Gayle! I hope you have a great Sunday! hugs dear friend! xoxo

Fun and giggly. Thanks Gayle🌸💝

I laughed with you... that poor bird's beak! lol! and thank you so much for adding a link to my shop! I can't wait for the next video! xo

This series just gets better and better. I love how you apologized to your bird on the last tag, you have such a sweet heart❤️. Are you going to put journaling cards in the pockets that you made when you glued pages in the book together? Can't wait to see what's next😀

Hi Gayle!! Love the ephemera you created today with the collaged papers!! Your altered book looks awesome!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

Gayle, I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy spending a hour a day with you. Love hearing about your husband and family and Jimmy Joe. So please keep sharing your family. You make a difficult day a better day and you give me a reason to smile 😊 so thanks. Enjoy your evening. Looking forward to tomorrow’s video. Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️

Hi and hugs! Ready to watch all this beautiful ephemera take shape! Wishing you a great and wonderful day.

Ink and think is now my new crafting affirmation...lol

I have loved this series. Love working with you.

well that was fun - i can't wait to see how your sewing comes out - its always so lovely - Ink and Think - i like that lol - see you on the next video Gayle - thank you and be well xx

Simple and oh so lovely ephemera. Thanks for sharing.

Ephemera so pretty! Love everything 😍 Thank you!

Hi Gayle, this journal is fab, I think your fussy cutting is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Xx

No rabbits harmed in the making of this video! Lol! I loved this series, Gayle! And I’m with you on the pink flowers! More pink 🌸 🌸🌸!

Oh it’s poofing up the book time, love it! Gosh I tell you, all them books have the munchies don’t they?! And this particular one wanted ruffles no less! Don’t they realize they be bursting at the seams if you let ‘m have all they want?! 🙄 😁❤️

Thanks for your inspiration. Can’t wait til you do the cover.

Love, love, love. I'm going to have to make some ephemera for my journals. Thank you so much for the inspiration. You are amazing. Stay safe and take care.

The group teaching was on the news, they are calling it "Micro Schooling". There is a mother in my state MA created a Group on facebook and it went viral. They were saying not everyone can afford it but a lot of families are going for it fearing for their children's health. No one knows the long term effect of the virus on the human body yet, scary stuff!. Beautiful ephemera! I love the bunnies! Don't forget to use the paper ruffle roll I sent you, might come useful in this project. Thank you for the beautiful work you do Gayle, you are such an inspiration!!!!

Loved Watching! Enjoyed watching how you decide what to do on each page!

It’s a beautiful altered book already ❤

You beak bender you. LOL. Sometimes you crack me up.

I am enjoying this sooo much! Thank you for the videos for this altered book. Take care, Gayle.

Happy Sunday! This is so much fun watching you mix and match. That country, mama rabbit sticker you put on that one card is the best match up I’ve seen in awhile...absolutely perfect! The idea your daughter and her friends came up with is brilliant! Good for those children. Let’s hear it for the “pathetic “ bird 🤣😂🤣. Super fun today Gayle...thank you.

Your journal is absolutely amazing! Love how all the collaging has found a perfect home. The colors blend so well! ❤️TFS

Morning Gayle. Love this series TFS. From Oz

We love you too 💜💜💜💜💜

Sticker frustration. lol cute book!

More pink flowers.... I've got you covered, should be a few in the spring n bloom stickers sheet. 😘 Hugs

loving seeing this come together :)

This journal is coming together so nicely. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a book with the ruffled edges, so now I can start a journal! You are a real inspiration and I enjoy your stories and humor.

Beautiful!

I love this series!

Hi Gayle! Love your ephemera pieces! The colours are so pretty. As your daughter tries to figure out what school will look like this year I have a suggestion. Firstly I love her idea of working with other parents and a qualified teacher. I home schooled my three grandkids for eight years. During that time I came across a website that I found invaluable. Teachers Pay Teachers. This is a sight where you can, for a small price, buy digitals for every subject and grade level. Each digital is aligned to State standards. Everything is created by teachers for teachers! Not only can you get quality lessons and assignments but you are helping teachers at a time when some may not have work in the fall. I would love to hear what she thinks if she does check them out. Hugs and blessings, Laura 🤗❤️🇨🇦

This is so fun! Love your process and laughter. 😁

The book is gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you'll do with the cover! 💕

Fabulous work!

Beautiful 😍

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦

You should have Gayle Merchandise on Etsy- t-shirts and what not for sale 😊. T-shirts that say, " Talk Amongst Yourselves" and " Let's Ink And Think". Even tote bags and insulated cups, coffee mugs, writing pens. Do a Gayle's Favorite Words And Phrases Digital and let it include you favorite words and phrases on presentation paper.🤩😊👍 I would love to see these things in your shop I think that it would be cute and it would sell also. Your Ephemera 🤩 making was fun to watch. I love 😍 Ephemera!! It makes me happy 😊🤩🤗!!

Good Morning all!!

It’s looking almost done...beautiful ephemera!

How appropriate...pasting “Patience” on the page where you had to fussy cut the fiddley flower!😂

Great pieces! Blessings and Hugs 🤗

Hi and hugs!! This book is coming along beautifully!! I need you here when I cut collage sheets...I get so overwhelmed for some reason, looking at the whole sheet and wondering where to start!! 😂 💜

Beautiful journal

Hi and hugs right back at ya!

Now the fun part with those amazing sheets! Hugz sweetie

The ephemera is amazing. Love to watch you create. Sure wish I had kept track of your “Gayleisms”. You have so many cute expressions of feelings. Thank you for sharing 🤗

I bought those fun Snazzie digitals. Even pretties in person. Love those bunnies. thanks as always for sharing

Good morning sis! It is so interesting watching your process for filling the pockets and things. I always hit a creative block at putting it all together, this should help me a lot. Thanks for the giggles, I needed that. Have a spectacular Sunday and enjoy your hammock time hopefully without the extra visitor… lol! I keep telling my husband I NEED a hammock… lol! I just gotta go order one… 😊 blessings and hugs! 🙏🏻🤗🤗

Love how book is shaping up! Again another beautiful journal. I’m making one along with you but doesn’t come near what yours looks like. I think my friend will like it though! It’s a prayer journal for her.

I'm so loving these videos. What a fantastic idea your daughter had. Our kids have to attend school here in Australia a real worry as the virus has escalated again. I'm going to try your book. I'm not good at spines lol. Bless xx Nita

Loved the video as usual. You do beautiful work. The cover will come to you.

I was only going to watch you make this journal because I have so many I didn't have room for one more. That was 2 sticks of glue and an ink pad later! 😂 I'm almost caught up to you.

💜

Loving this book and I think sewing might add bulk but I think it’s bulk worth adding

I’m right with you Gayle! I fall, trip, stub my toes at least every day. But a few weeks ago I ran to kitchen sink b4 water overflowed and the broom fell & I tripped on the hard wood floors flat spreadeagled and face first! My eyes were black & blue, I’m already crazy so who knows about my head & my eyes are a problem and now have more floaters and have bad knees, feet & , arthritis & snything else you can think of but the next 2 days I felt like a truck ran over me! And I’m by myself! It’s prob good u couldn’t bread your fall because u could hurt yourself worse (I know)! I go too fast & never put on lights & that doesn’t help buy the older you get your balance gets a little off so start doing balancing exercises now! I even broke my foot & had to have a pin put in because I missed the last step & trying to stop myself made it worse! But it’s natural thing! That’s y if u see an older person like in a Nursing home or anywhere, ur not supposed to help! I don’t think I could do that but that’s the suggestion! Go slower & be careful so u can continue crafting:-))👍. Gail

Hi & hugs to you!

Good evening Gale, Thank you for a very inspiring video. Your bright and cheery demenor is a tonic. I was wondering if the blank scraps of label paper could be stamped on and used as decorations. Much love. Xxxxx

🥰❤️🥰

Love your ideas. I have been inspired by all the decorating. My question is, where is there room to actually journal? Thank you and please stay safe.

Maybe some floral fabric for the journal cover!

Lots of CA parents are doing the learning pods as well.

Only 20 mins in.. I was thinking the thin strips left could be ticket strip belly bands 🤔 also with the large offcut of sticker sheet... Use that to make ephemera clusters so they'll be sticky.

Good morning everyone! Boy, I have alot of catching up to do! Have been ill for awhile and had surgery last Friday! Can't wait to see what I've missed!

Loving tbe altered book series. I have a libary book jacket from the book I used. Do you have any videos showing any idea on using them? Thank you.

The homeschool program (ACE) that I done was self taught. [as most homeschool programs are] The books explained everything that I needed to know in order to complete the work. I would read a page or two, and then do a worksheet. I graded my own work. No it’s not possible to cheat because you would get caught by failing the test at the end of the workbook. The tests was the only thing that my mom ever graded. I think a lot of parents are having such a hard time with this homeschooling idea because they are misinformed. I hardly ever had to ask for help, because all the information that I needed was in the workbook. It’s not difficult at all. Most kids who are homeschooled are more advanced than public school kids. Most homeschool kids get done with their work in about 5 hours. Where as public school kids go to school for 7 hours and then bring all their work home, adding additional hours to their school time. This is because in public school the teacher talks the entire period, then the kids bring their work home, forgetting what the teacher taught, and struggle to accomplish the work because there is no one to help them with it when they are actually trying to accomplish it. With homeschool the (help) is always in your workbook and you can refer to it at anytime. You also don’t have the waisted time of teachers yelling at students to listen, to sit properly in their chair, to stop talking, to stop trying to leave the classroom when the bell rings because it’s the teacher that dismisses them not the bell, bla bla bla.... I went to public school for many years, I went to a private school for a few, and was homeschooled for many years, and went back and fourth from one to the other. So I can vouch for it all. Simply, if done right, homeschool is not bad or difficult at all. To answer many people’s question, yes, Colleges accept homeschooled students. Colleges actually told my family that they prefer homeschool students because of their maturity level.

Gail I would find it will hard just cutting the sheets up they are so pretty

Hi Gayle, am wondering where you get your fabulous stickers I love this journal wish there were more than 7 parts

Hi Gayle. I have a question for you. When you print out your decals, stickers, tags etc. What kind of sticker paper are you printing it on? Or do they come that way when you purchase them

Gayle, so love watching your videos. So inspiring. I do have a question regarding junk journal pages. Even though I cut all pages the same, I find I have to go back and trim the inner pages. Am I doing something wrong? Your pages always look so perfect. Thank you.

Gayle, how do you set up your downloads on your computer? Do you put files in folders .

I braved going to the $ Store (mask in tow) today and the book I ended up with has pictures in the center (slick pages). What to do, what to do? (-; I have counted them in, but will it work to use them?

I was thinking bird for that last tag and you picked the perfect one. Was it from a digital?

what is the name of scissors you use to fussy cut?

Hi Gayle, I just started watching your channel. Can you give me some ideas of where to get collage papers like you print out? I don’t want to do the digital route. Thanks!

I call them caroline’s collage rolls
