A Conversation with Cori Dahmen-Creating with Scraps! 

I absolutely love this video, it’s so nice to see the faces behind the channels. You lady’s are simply beautiful, inside and out 💕

I was selling at a craft show on Memorial Day so I'm watching on Wednesday morning. You two are some of my favorites! At the show I talked to several papercrafters and the enthusiasm was through the roof! They were excited to meet someone who was making and selling junk journals (me) and were eager to share which channels they watch and love. Enjoyed your conversation immensely! Thanks!

thank you both so much! you are my top two favorite artists to follow. Love ya both! Could both of you show us all the things you made on the retreat when you get back home ? I know you do Gayle, but you too Cori, Please? you both inspire me so much!!!

Cori-that’s such a fantastic idea for the vets office. That really hit me. 😇 ❤️

Thanks to both you, and Cori, for allowing us to be a small part of your retreat. Have a splendid time!

I couldn't help but smile during this whole video. I wish I could attend a retreat like this. How inspiring! Thanks for sharing. I hope you took some more videos or pictures to show us. I can't wait to learn new things that came out of this retreat! 💖💖💖

What an honour to see and listen to both of you wonderful ladies! I attended a one day crop on Saturday, and how fantastic to be back laughing, eating and creating with like-minded friends. If either or both of you ever get the chance to visit Canada, you would be welcomed with open arms! 🥰❤️🇨🇦

How exciting to see you and Cori face to face and getting to know two of my “best friends”. The only thing that would have made it better, would have been there with all you wonderful creative ladies. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

Wonderful to see Cori Dahmen with you on video! Both of you are amazing! ♥

So fun to see you and Cori in person! Hope you have a blessed time at the retreat. Thanks for taking the time to do this interview!! 💜

OMG‼️🙏💚 Gayle and Cori together… amazing crafting ladies and great people! Love watching all your videos, so thank you ladies for sharing “your all”…to all of us and keeping us going in crafting land. Always remember, We really stick together, but never tacky! We work with sharp objects but always soft spoken. And most of all, our craft is mingled with love and prayers! God bless you for sharing 👌😉🙏💚‼️

Two of my favorite Creative Queens sitting side by side dishing on crafting. Bliss!

I agree, lovely to see the people behind the voice. You two are just how I pictured you. Your enthusiasm and love for everyone and all you do comes through.

This is everything I needed to see! Thank you Gayle and Cori, I was so hoping you would do a little video together. You are my two favorites and I have learned so much from both of you and this was the icing on the cake. 😊

Wonderful to watch and learn about Cory! You were so giddy like I'd be meeting you! Thanks for all you do for us!💞🐞❤️

Just add me to the list of fans and how much fun it was to see and join you “on retreat!” Getting a way for creating together is just the BEST. (Certainly more than the sum if parts! 😛)

Good morning, What a wonderful segment...thank you so much for sharing. This is so exciting to watch and love the Gayle wear you both are wearing. One day I will be so happy to attend a retreat. Thanks again for sharing xoxo SparklingChar Happy Crafting (^.^)

This was so lovely to wake up to this morning, to see both of you together and hanging out. You have both inspired me in more ways than you will ever know. Thank you for being YOU. Much love. xx

What wonderful sweet ladies. It is fun to see the faces behind the voices I listen to on RU-vid. Thanks for taking time out for us

Gayle - It's nice to finally put a face with the voice I have come to enjoy listening to while watching your videos. I subscribed to Cori's channel.

What a wonderful surprise, so glad to see and hear both of you. Retreats are so inspiring. I am a fan of both of you and all that you share.

Fun conversation with Cori! Indeed, we all inspire each other! Thank you for the inspiration!

Years ago, I lived in Pullman Washington & I was a beginner quilter back then. There was a large club with years & years of experience among the women who always had a retreat 2 times a year in a church camp up in the panhandle of Idaho, so not too far from where you must be! Those are some of my best memories & the creativity & energy that just flowed from being together was just incredible! Now I’m in in north-eastern Kansas, so a road trip from here would be a bit long! Seeing the wind blow your hair around & the gorgeous scenery surrounding you, even the camp chairs, took me right back 25 years! Thanks so much!

How wonderful to see the great fun y’all are having. I wish I really could be a fly on the wall and see y’all in your creativity. Awesomeness.

Gayle: I think you interviewing other crafters is an excellent idea. It allows others to get to know them a bit better. Cori’s idea of using Etsy as a fundraiser venue is a super idea. I’m a city girl, but have been involved in many, many fundraisers and with my AKA, the Goddess of Garbage, who creates items from discards for the home, this could be an tool to use. You see,- just watching that segment, an idea came from it. Fabulous! Cori and I already have several things in common and I don’t really know her. Carol from California

What a great talk!!! So genuine!…..love the philosophy of sharing and passing on the love and appreciation of each person and their skills and talents!!! Thank you Gayle and Cori for taking time from your retreat!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰😘

Gayle and Cori, as everyone has mentioned, so great to see the people behind the voices on RU-vid 😊 have a wonderful time at your retreat 💕

Oh ladies, it’s so nice to see the faces that accompany those hands and voices. Wise advice as always!

Omg, I’m in awe. Gayle & Cori in the same video. What an absolute treat. If I was there, I’d be “Fan-Girling” right this minute. 😻

This is so sweet and wonderful I’m so glad we got to see and hear you both.

Gayle, this was fabulous, thank you

Such Beautiful Ladies...Thank you for sharing your love of crafting with all of us! Side note...I was praying a pinecone didn't fall from the tree with all that wind!

Good morning beautiful ladies! I'm so enjoying watching you both have a chat. I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs

Good morning Gayle 💜💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and Cori 💜

This is so cool that you did this! Thank you both. I don’t think people realize you can do service through your journalling. I make 12 journals at a time for a battered women’s shelter. They give them blank notebooks to journal in so this gives those women a chance to experience junk journalling and find places to tuck little notes that are super private about what they are going through!

There is a craft retreat place about 1/2 hr. from my house, in Columbus Ohio. May have to try this retreat thing! So glad you ladies are enjoying yourselves!

I think that there is nothing better than to share ideas with friends!! I am so excited you got to have a "conversation with Cori"!! There is something about crafters, makers, creators. Such giving souls. Education with caring!! I am so happy y'all are having fun!! Keep the creativity flowing and I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back to your homes!! Love you Gayle and Cori!! Always, Leslie

Yay Cori and yay YOU. That was so nice to hear the both of you.

You two are great!! Cori - I love your next fundraiser idea. And I love your philosophy in life. I’m always trying to spread kindness - daily. And to not forget ourselves. Gayle - you’re energy and sweetness just make it so pleasurable to watch your Chanel. Both of you are my “go-to” journal makers on RU-vid.

What a delightful surprise. I finally got to see Gayle after watching her videos for so long and only seeing her hands and occasionally the top of her head. I would give anything to have been able to attend one of your retreats. If we have them here, (I am in Australia), I don't know about them, but the one thing journalers all seem to have in common is the most caring natures you will ever find. That is obvious in Gayle and Cori (although I have only watched a few of her videos) seem the same. After having lived through the hardest year of my life, how lucky was I to have found the journalers who turned out to be the most compassionate, caring people. Much more so than my own family. I thank God for Gayle, Terre, Bettina, Lena, Helen and the list just goes on and on and that is only in the States. The rest of the world have their own special people who journal, even Australia. It is a phenomenon, that is all I can say. Gayle and Cori you are both beautiful women, I would love to see more of you on your videos and tutorials. Take care and God bless and love all of you for your kindness and care... Rose.

G’morning Gayle and Cori! Enjoyed the visit. 💕 Thank you both!

Gayle You Are Amazing and I Thank You for doing this retreat . I watch Cori and now I have a new friend Eve. This is so special thanks for bringing us along. Kat

I am so excited to see Cori (I am in Washington too!). I love when you do these retreat interviews!! Thank you Gayle

Loved your two Oprah moments with Cori and Eve. So glad you all had a great time together.

What a treat, two of my favorite crafters together on a holiday. Better than watching a parade 😊. So happy to hear about Cori’s fundraiser. One of our boys is nearing his end it’s so heart breaking, but the joy they bring is worth all the heartbreak at the end❤️ Thank you both for a lovely surprise on Memorial Day morning 🥰

Oh Gayle, thank you, thank you, thank you for wearing your Gayle wear. It’s so pretty. A bonus, Cori had her’s on too. Sounds like you’re having a great time. Thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗

Hello Gayle and Cori, it was so nice to see the faces of the crafters' I love to watch creating. TFS

I'm so used to seeing only the hands, that when I see you in your entirety, it takes a moment or two for the old grey cells to adjust! Hahaha...love the jumper, Gayle, thought I recognized the art work. Veronica x

It was so nice to see you in an interview with Cori. The two of you are so very special. LOVE IT!!!!!!

What a treat it is to "see" you both! You know I am a huge fan of both your channels. Have a great time at your retreat, wish I were there! Hugs....

Very nice that you do this… I wish everyone would have these talks and visits - would love to be a fly on your retreat wall!!!!

So much fun to see you two girls together! Have a great time and I know you are all blessing each other in so many ways.

Sounds like you guys are having a blast! Enjoy!

This filled up my love tank to overflowing! What fabulous women you are❤️

Loved this video! I think it is great to hear everyone’s journey and to be able to put faces with voices! Looking forward to the next video!

Loved this! Nice to have a face to go with your voice Cori. Gayle you should be able to do more of these because I love meeting others in our junk journal world. Blessings to us both

What an awesome video! Glad you didn't blow away girls!!! Cori, I hope you're feeling better! You will LOVE your Alaskan cruise. Be sure to do as many excursions as you can. You are an awesome person! Love your fundraising ideas. Gayle, you are a sweetheart! So kind and thoughtful!!!

Gayle, It was so great seeing you and Cori chat at the retreat! Thanks for sharing.🤗

All I can say is thank you to both of you for sharing your amazing talents. Enjoy and bless you all. 🤗

Wow, absolutely fantastic to see you girls. Can only imagine how much fun, laughter and creativity you are all having, and can’t wait to see your ideas in the future. So sorry to hear about your fur babies cori, tho am sure they had the most wonderful lives with you and your family. Sending you both much ❤️ from across the pond 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️❤️

Thank you for taking time to share your stories and retreat!! Can't wait to hear more. Both of you are lovely ladies in beautiful Gayle art-wear. Love that you both said that the journaling community is friendly and wants to share ideas with each other...no competition💕🐬sweet hugs for you both

So wonderful to see you girls again and together at a retreat. Have fun and I wish I was there with you.

Thank you both SO much for taking time out to make this video for us!! How awesome to see you!! 💙💙💙

So much fun seeing you both enjoy getting inspiration from everyone around you! Thanks for taking the time to film. I truly hope to see a similar video with you and Ceri the Crafter one day. 😁🥰. I love Cori’s fundraising! We all get such comfort from our pets, especially with such uncertainty and divisiveness in the world. The thought that anyone might have to choose between getting evicted from their home or getting life-saving treatment for their beloved pets breaks my heart. Love to you both!

Hey Gayle and Cori! What a lovely treat to SEE both of you lovely ladies this morning! Thank you for doing this, Gayle. It was so great to hear from both of you and also to hear the peaceful background sounds of Montana. I well know, from my visit to MT last summer, that it's a beautiful place to refresh your own unique creative genre and to be inspired by each others as well. Definitely a place where you feel like you are sitting in the palm of God's hand; the Master Creator. I'm excited to see how it affects the creative endeavors in both of your future videos. It definitely benefits us all! Enjoy the rest of your time there. Hugs to all! God bless! Sue ❤

Just loved seeing two of my favorite artists chatting together!

Thank you for sharing some of your retreat! It’s great to see you and to meet Cori. Enjoy your time creating and relaxing. Safe travels, too.

How fun to see the two of you together. That old cabin must be alight with creativity! I’m looking forward to seeing the products of all that inspiration.😊

I really enjoy the interviews. It's fun getting to your beautiful faces. Enjoy the rest of the retreat. Have a blessed and wonderful day.

Oh my goodness, I am so happy you two had this time together and thank you for sharing! Love ya'lls creativity, generosity with sharing ideas, and wonderful consistently excellent tutorials :) Laurie

I’m so glad you two got to meet.

Well can I come and play and enjoy you two??? So wonderful to actually see you- I would know your voices anywhere. That was a treat!!

I'm so glad I discovered your channel! I'm going to look at Cori's! We can't have too many subscriptions to inspire us! Thank you for sharing.

How wonderful to see and listen to you... You know, you RU-vidrs sometimes say that it can be a fulltime job to do videos, but I tell you, it's becoming a fulltime job watching all you fab creatores in YT land (not really, but feels like it, can't keep up 🤭😂)! I love the idea of the mum with the dog being able to get help through the fond. I so agree, pets are just great. se have 2 dogs, 4 cats, 25 bunnies and 4 Icelandic horses (I breed bunnies and horses...). Wish I Gould come to one of your retreats one day,but it's a bit too far unfortunately 😬 Take care everyone 💖

Hi Gayle and Cori..Looks and sounds like you gals are having great fellowship together and happy crafting..Thanks Gayle for sharing this fun video with us all.. Blessed and of course lots of fun and laughs!! You are greatly missed,but I'm so happy you are having this girl time.. Sending you hugs from Kentucky💙💙💙

Thank you for this interview video, Gayle! I’ve enjoyed them in the past but this was particularly interesting for me because I now have a face to Cori’s voice. You are both lovely and kind souls!

Hello Ladies,I am faithful follower of both your channels. Love your ideas and kind thoughts. Thank you both and all the other wonderful people who share their ideas and talent. Both of you are very good teachers. I have only completed 1 journal so far. I'm very new very very new , So please keep the ideas flowing and chat coming, Gayle forget about all the people who make those awful comments, don't let them hurt your feelings. Other crafters have talked about some of these peple also. Some people are unhappy and don't want to be helped.They need more paper and glue. This is my first comment section so enough. Happy crafting . want to hear all about the retreat. Donna

I didn’t expect a video today and was totally surprised. It’s great to see Cori, and Gayle, you’re so flexible with that foot up in the air. I’m definitely not flexible I’m not sure I ever was that flexible .

I too am so glad to see the lovely faces that go with the familiar voices. I love the magical atmosphere of art retreats. I'm so glad you are having a great time.

Beautiful conversation! Thank you!

Oh my goodness! Gail and Cori in one video! What a treat! Cori, looking forward to your fundraiser!

Two of my favourite ladies! I'm a new junk journal junkie and both of you give me so much inspiration. Thank you 😊

OOoh, so much fun. Thanks, Gayle and Cori.

So happy for all you gal's. Blessings to all, can't wait to see and hear about all the beauty being shared there :)

Love the chat! I love Cori's next fundraiser idea. Thanks for bringing some of the retreat to us!

Great to see you & Cori in person. Love both of you. So glad you guys are enjoying your retreat.

Definitely ....faces to the voices . Thank you ladies . A retreat ! What a fantastic idea , yet to find anything like this in the Uk

This was wonderful. As a loyal fan of both you it was so nice to see your faces and to hear you talk about you passion for junk journaling. Retreats are so special - enjoy.

It was so nice to listen and see you gals at your retreat! Have a wonderful time! Maybe Gayle you will do another chat/video while you are there?

What a fun treat this video was to watch! Thank you Gayle and Cori for the continued inspiration!

So fun to meet other crafters! I love this idea and thanks for taking the time! Also, very cool to meet a fellow Washingtonian!

OH MY GOODNESS! I love seeing your face Gayle! And Cori you are an absolutely beautiful soul! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Gayle, loved your interview today and your matching sandals and top. You look so cute. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time.Hugs

So great to put a face to Cori’s voice. Gayle I saw you last year. My favorite vacation was a two week cruise and land tour with my mom. I didn’t have any time to craft, there is way to much to do and see.

Gayle, this was a delightful treat! Thank you for sharing your time with Cori! ❤️
