Beginner Tutorial - Simple Traveler's Notebook Journal 

What a wonderful compliment to your talent for him to ask you to do this for him.

There is something so satisfying about watching a video of the making of a junk journal. This one is perfect for a man.

Know what’s cuter than you diving in to a ‘commission’ for your husband? Nuthin’, that’s what! Could feel the love.😊

You make it look so easy!! The hardest part for me is sewing in the signatures, and you just flew through it!! Thank you for sharing this!!❤️

What a nice little book this turned out! I hope mr. A. enjoys his fathersday gift.

I just love that your Hubs asked you for this! I quilted for years, showing my hubby each one I got done. One day he said, "so where's mine?" I was gobsmacked! In all that time, I had never thought to make him one! So you can be sure he got a Scottish links golf quilt pronto!

Love your tip about the corners when sewing around the cover, thank you I will defiantly be remembering that! Xx

Ha ha, he sure came to the right person to ask for a TN. Easy peasy and fabulous! TFS.

You are do incredibly inspireing Gayle!! I bet your hubby was overjoyed ❣️🦢💚💙💛🧡💜❤️

I'm also from Montana.............it will always be home. Enjoyed your travel journal tutorial. I'm making one for our daughter and husband who will be making a trip to Arizona for their 35th anniversary. Thanks

Ok, you’ve started something now!!!! My hubby was earwigging while I was watching you, and he realised you could have a journal without ‘fluff’ and now he wants one!!!!!! Oh boy, now I will have to buy some manly papers!!!! Lol. Your journal for your hubby looked so smart, I will aspire to make one just like it. TFS 😻xx

Love it only had to pause a little but was able to get one done, so excited. No I just need to add pockets and embellish. This was so perfect for a beginner, definitely didn't feel overwhelmed at all. Thank you so much for sharing and thank your husband for his request. Hugs and Smiles

That's so cute your husband asked you to make a journal. Mine did too... Though he hasn't yet used his, I still appreciate that he saw some of the journals I was making for other people and wanted I've for himself.

Gayle, I’ve been following you for a while here in Spain and I have to say, your voice is just so calming and happy. There are a ton of crafty videos out there, imo yours is the best. I sit here in the mornings with my coffee and smile right thru them. Thank you! You have got me through some dark days XxxOxxx

I have to say this is what I’ve wanted you to do, since I started watching you recently..LOVE watching you and listening to you. Thank you Gayle.

You read my mind. I was just wondering if anything special had to be done for a single TN. You have no idea how many times your videos are exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks Gayle.

You make it look very easy and this is a perfect “guy” journal. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

What a cool idea, I think it’s great he what’s a journal. He will love it Gayle.

gayle, i love watching your videos. you have the sweetest personality. thankyou for sharing.

An online friend from Facebook gave me your link because I told her I get frustrated and confused after watching tutorial’s on how to make Junk Journals and I end up not even wanting to try. After watching this wonderful video I don’t feel overwhelmed and I’m really excited to give it a go. Thank you so much for making it SIMPLE from start to finish. My biggest issue was HOW DO I KNOW WHAT PAPERS TO USE AND HOW DO I STACK THEM... and now I know. As I was watching this video my daughter was laying next to me trying to fall asleep... she said your voice was soothing, I agree. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you to your hubby as well

Thanks for showing the TN from beginning to end and this time I took notes on the measurements!

Perfect Gayle, I’m sure your sweet hubby will love it 😊

I have watch dozens of tutorials n maybe it's because of that but your video just clicked with me. It looks so easy thank you so much! Also yay you said kitty corner, every time I say that people tell me its catty corner. Now I can say I'm not the only one!

Thank you for the tutorial. Sometimes I tend to overthink things, this helped simplify.

I am so glad I re visited this tutorial. I needed something to do for my pen pals. This awesome!

LOVE this tutorial Gayle!!! I God bless your husband. I can't imagine my husband EVER asking for a journal but never say never, right!!!! LOL Your hubby is going to LOVE it!!!!

I'm sure that he loved it!!! It was nice and very quick...I should be able to do that even with my one hand!!

Thanks for this! Very useful! I am already starting mine, even while still watching you.

Excellent tutorial. I was taking notes else I'll forget all that I saw. You make it look so darn easy. I'm hooked!

I love this. My hubby is the same way about not wanting "fluff".

As always I enjoyed watching you. Thank you for showing us a simple notebook/journal...I would feel better trying this one first...🦩🥀🦋

I loved it!!! Simple and cute!

Beautiful. He will love it.

Thank you! I love your tutorials!!!

I tried leaving the threads on the outside for the first time yesterday. I don’t like it. I know it’s just preference, but I didn’t know my preference until I tried it. 😁 I had a video idea for you the other day. (You can absolutely say “no thanks Samantha”) Gayle’s top 5 ephemera pieces & you show us how to make your top 5 go-to ephemera pieces you always make for journals. I love that Mr. A wanted a journal. Shows how much he loves you. 😁💜👍🏻🌈

Thanks for the encouragement, Gayle! Always love your tutorials ♥️
