Etsy Buys - Craft Room Chaos - Start to Finish Vintage Book Journal - Decorating 

The video may have been long but no-one is complaining. I so enjoy them. Thank you for all you do.

Wow! The journal is getting full. So beautiful and chunky. Gayle, your craft room is going to be amazing. Thanks for the tour of things to come. You know we’d all like to be there to help you move and organize your craft room. But I’m afraid we’d be in your way. After all, it is part of your crafting for you. Don’t work to hard! Thank you for sharing 🤗. Just FYI - I love your hour long videos, please never change.

I always hate to hear your videos end. This journal is absolutely beautiful.

I'm glad you shared your craft room and supplies. Now I don't feel so bad. You are such a treat to watch and listen to.

Thank you for sharing your process and creativity. I enjoy your presentation and your stories. You give us 'food for the soul '

This journal is absolutely beautiful! Idea for Jimmie Joe (that worked quickly for our dog)...we bought a large kennel and put a bed on one side of it, on the other side we placed pet pads. Our dog only peed twice in her kennel during the night. After that she slept through the night. Apparently dogs don't like to use their kennel to potty so they learn to hold it through the night. Also you won't be training Jimmie Joe to wake up at night, but to sleep to your schedule. We learned this through several dog sites and training books and it worked fantastic. Big plus is your hubby can get the sleep he needs too.

Love that you can "start over" and make the room of your dreams! I also have plans for re-doing my storage and totally understand the domino effect. I stand there often thinking "if this goes with that, it needs a container this size. I want it over there, which means moving all this..." = analysis paralysis! So I end up just watching your videos while creating or straightening. Thanks for always being inspiring and real.

I have new respect for how easy you make all of this look. I have been making faux-front envelopes for my valentines. Whoa! Not easy, but you're right the ideas just keep coming!! What fun!!!

And you are still ordering more stuff! I feel so much better about my mess now! LOL! When my grandkids complain, I'll show them this video as a defence of my clutter not being so bad!

Thanks for taking us on a little snoop around your craft space. It will be wonderful when it all comes together!

Good morning everyone! Love waking up to My favorite crafter!

Omg! How fun to have the fireplace and so much more space! Fun fun!

Emily is great . This is fabulous. So precious. Thank you for sharing with us Gayle.

Gayle!!! Hellooooo 🙋‍♀️ I... AM.... BACK, uff. After more than 10 weeks of all the renovation. OK they have renovated and constructed here every room new, and that's great, but dust and dirt, me moving from room to room and especially without really crafting, it was terrible, but finally I can craft again, I have my craft room back whohoooo ✌️ What a relief. I still have to reorganize things, but it's OK. I do it step by step and I had to giggle while I saw your craft room today 😂😂😂 So and now, after such a long time without crafting, nobody can stop me from this and I can sit beside you, watching your videos and craft along with you 💕😘

Oh My Goodness - You’re going to have sooo much space... you won’t know yourself!!! How fabulous!!! Love this journal!!! Always kicking goals!!! TFS!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💜

Oh oh oh Gayle that old fabric of the farmer and the tractors...oh oh that is just exquisite. How do you restrain yourself and not just start cutting and sewing. I love your orders. Man I wish I could afford one order. But you work so hard for it all with all you do for us and how much thought and love goes into it all. Hugs and much love dear lady

Your videos are not too long for me. Love them. Wow too your craft room. I craft in my lounge.

I love seeing the start of your expanded craft room. I am feeling excited with you. Love seeing all the Etsy mail and the vintage journal series.

Congratulation on your new basement expansion! You made me feel better all the way to my soul seeing your wonderful collection of supplies. If mine were all together in one place, that is what it would look like.

Another nice day with crafting and company,hugs

Even though it's "chaos and chaotic" - I actually love it when I have to sort/sift - I find so many either useful or lost things!

That new craft space is going to be awesome. Plus you get to watch videos! Thanks Gayle. 😘

Oh Gayle. I have enjoyed watching you make this journal so much, just wish you would make another one similar to it. I love all the pretty laces, flowers and feminine details that have gone into this beautiful journal.

Enjoy all your new space and have fun putting it all away. Sometimes it is nice to revisit what you have accumulated.

Please keep the length of your videos as they are. It's like having a friend in the room when I'm working , inspiring me to keep going. Thanks for the shots of your craft area. It makes me feel so much better about my own. I'm in the process of rearranging too. One thing I like about the job is 'finding' things that I have misplaced or forgotten about. So far the only surface I've gotten cleared is my ironing board, which of course, is another flat surface to work on. Take care.

Your room is coming along very nicely, I cannot believe how far you have come already! It is going to be such a wonderful place to create in. Your journal is moving right along too! Go girlfriend! 💖🌸💖

Thank you Gayle. For bringing them closer.. for some reason my eyes have chosen not to work.well. In the process of watching Gayle, they got very itchy and now I cannot see hardly . That is such pretty amazing paper. Good JOB. 4:00 AM. And I’m suggesting what you gotta do. 🤗 I was a little loud. I love altered books. I had an opportunity to pack. And John suggested to my girls leave crafts in her studio. Hahahahaha the room is not so big. Now to fix my FIT. I have to start looking 🤷‍♀️my last craft room had shelves as long as a 2 car garage. Just one wall. I was sewing in that room, and he was working from home. His “office” was being over taken.

Eeek! I knew there had to be an easier way to make a banner! I have struggled for years to make my banners even on both sides! You have just changed my crafting life! Thanks for sharing! Your are such an inspiration!

O.M.G. Gayle!!! I .i stumbled across this hobby while looking for a new craft ,following a life changing event in my family I couldn’t concentrate on my knitting or crochet, and love this playing with paper and glue and gosh !!! Just been collecting some stuff ,but really felt I had better stop rummaging and get making something as my little shelf is filling up . Then I saw your craft room and I laughed and laughed until I cried,because I discovered I have nothing !!!! You are so gifted just picking up bits and creating beautiful craft work this is all so new to me . Thank you for giving me a fun new hobby .just need to decide where to start ,,, thank you

Love the long vids. I put them on and watch and listen while I crochet. Keep them coming.

Oh Gayle, your journal is really coming along so nicely and it is looking lovely! Boy, oh boy is your new craft room space going to be so nice when you are done. It's huge and it will give you areas or stations to create, store, and even relax in. So happy for you and I cannot wait to see the full tour. Thank you for the Etsy shop links as well. Have a great week!

Oh your new space is going to be wonderful! Lots of work, but really worth it. I’m catching up on all your old videos...love every one of them

Your craft room will be wonderful when you expand you will be so excited once you get done. It's going to be a lot of work but so worth it when it's done. So excited for you. Hope Mr. A gets to feeling better.

Gayle, So happy you posted scrapbirds Etsy store. I spent way more than I should but this will finish off my Aunt's Easter JJ. Oh the things she has. 😍. It was hard to stop clicking that buy now button. LOL Loving your JJ. You are a free antidepressant. 🙃

Such a wonderful journal, thanks for letting me hang out with you today. I hope you enjoy your new space, I can’t wait to see how you organize it.

Loving this journal Gayle. Your mess of a room looks more organized than my clean room. Hugs, Amy 💕😺

Good morning. Thanks for sharing your purchase. I’m shopping vicariously through you!

I love your craft room, and love watching your videos

The belly bands are so pretty.

Like the washi flowers! This Journal is so pretty! TFS! Hugs & Blessings!❤️

wow your craftroom will be huge Gayle! Thank you so much for the little tour! Would love a grand tour when it's finished 💕

I really love the way that ink page is turning out from your stamps haha

Your going overtime works for me! The wise owl writing board looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Your craft room will look brilliant when all finished! Love the long videos, I switch you on and craft alongside you!!

So I’m not the only one to buy something from Etsy that I already have chuckle chuckle

SUCH A PRETTY BOOK=TFS=HUGS/BLESSINGS

Gayle you are so much fun! When your space is done it will be awesome. The journal is coming along so beautiful.thanks for sharing 😍🌴

Happy Sunday Gayle. Great video. Going to rewatch it.

Oh Gayle! I feel like I know you, and I'd recognize your voice ANYWHERE! LOL! I'm especially fond of you saying "Talk among yourselves", and I do! I find myself talking back to you and then laughing at myself. Thank you, not only for the junk journal education, but for the entertainment!;)

I’m glad you showed us your room in progress. It looks great so far, it’s going to be awesome when done. This journal is coming along beautifully! I’m fine with overtime 😘💜💜

i like scraproom tour... thank you ! ... since island reunion

Everything is so pretty

Loved watching you pet the fabric. LOL Isn't it fun???

Gayle. Thanks for sharing your room transformation. Look forward to seeing the after when you're all done. I thought I had a lot of stuff but you've got me beat. However considering that all I have is a small bedroom it's just as full. I only have a small path to get to my desk and boxes are stored under my desk and a table. But a cluttered desk is the sign of a creative mind. Enjoy your new space

Excited for you and your new craft layout!!

This journal is so pretty Gayle. Love everything about it!

OMG Gayle! Your craft room is going to be AWESOME! Good for you! 😍😍😍👍🏼🤗

I’m so excited for you! How nice to have all that space 🤗

Love your new craft room space, it will be fab once you are all settled in! 😊

Your craft room is going to be amazing! Had a giggle with you about the bird poop 😂❤️

Gayle you have quickly become my favorite channel! I can’t wait everyday to see what you will upload. Your journal is awesome! I love everything about it! Hugs💕

So much like me I always use the new and exciting stuff right away...thinking of sending myself a package so I will use up what I got squirreled away...thinking it is new and exciting if it comes in the mail...enjoy you bigger space and new discoveries❤️🐇🐶

EXQUISITE Gayle!! That's a ton of work but the craft area is well worth it I'll bet! Positive healing energy to Mike. Hugs to Jimmy Joe. HAPPY CRAFTIN ❣️🐞 🕉️💚🌻💙🐌💜🦋☯️💛☮️

I don’t think you have enough stuff Gayle! But what fun you are going to have organizing it all. This is one of your prettiest journals btw. Thanks for sharing.

Excited to see the final craft room tour reveal. Another lovely journal Gayle😍💖.Stay blessed🌺

Such a pretty journal! Excited for you about your enlarged crafting space. Looking forward to your organization tips and a tour of the finished room. 😃❤️

good morning everyone!

So enjoyed seeing your tour and continued work on the journal. Thanks for sharing your kindness💕 hugs

Lots of great stuff! Enjoying it completely

Enjoyed today

What a massive but exciting undertaking! I'm talking about your craft room, not Jimmy Joe! This journal is gorgeous already❣️

Love the jjs on the shelf ... it will be so nice for you to have a bigger space, I'm excited for you. 😁🍁🇨🇦

Thank you for the tour! I always wondered what your setup looked like and how you could so easily grab your cutters and sewing machine!! Due to the limited scope of the camera during filming, I always thought you were in a tiny room!!!! What a crafters playground!!! Good luck with the move and getting everything settled again!

Wow, you're going to have a wonderful craft room to work in. Tfs.

The journal is really coming along. On another note you do seem to have a video on everything. Every time I have a question on how to do something I just search your channel. I have yet to not find a video to answer my how to question. You have made my journal journey so easy and enjoyable.

Going to be so fun to follow the craft room process. This journal is lovely love alligators. 💕 Have a lovely week.

Your new space will be nice! I moved to a larger space and hated it. I like everything within reach. Love the journal. Hugs. 🤗

So funny how you feel and 'pet' the fabrics, i do the same! lol

You are not going to know how to act once you have your new craft room done! It will be so nice for you! I can't believe you haven't been clausterphobic in the space you've been using. Love the journal. It is coming together very nicely.

I love the behind the scenes! Maybe you will inspire me to organize my space.... here's to hoping!

Loving it, Gayle!

Enjoyed going over time. I told my husband she’s gonna panic when she sees what time it is. Love you

Good morning Gayle! Don't you just love Emily. She has amazing things in her shop. I love how much stuff you have. If you decide not to keep it all an idea is to put it in your etsy shop. Thanks for showing us your new craft room!

Oh my... you truly have an enormous amount of supplies! How absolutely fabulous! Slow and steady wins the race here, organizing it all. Hope you don’t find too many ‘perfect spots’ to store this or that because it is my experience that stuff put away in those spots are never to be found again. The postage for items on Etsy is so high it is out of my league. Oh well... 😒

Time goes fast when you're having fun! 😃This is a beautiful journal, Gayle!! Would just love to have a big space like that...My craft room is 9 x 13....can't complain, but sometimes I wish it was just a little bit bigger... Big hugs! 💕 Suzy x

Hi Gayle! Thanks for the links to all the cool Etsy shops! I just went to ScrappyBird & ordered one set of all of her napkins!! (A friend of mine issued me a challenge to make book marks for Christmas 2020 that are not specifically for Christmas! I think the napkins fused onto cardstock like you showed us would be great!! Then laminate them & ta-da!! A beautiful book mark!! It has to be my "original" idea ... so I think that qualifies!!)

You have the best ideas Gayle....this journal is going to be stunning when it's all finished! loveLOVElove Emily and her shop "Vintage Polka Dots" and a sale for the month!! sweet. Also loved the share of Scrappy Birds shop-things are adding up in my cart ;-) when i want to search for something on your YT channel-i just go right to your channel, then type whatever the topic is in the Magnifying search box. that way i'm already on your channel and can always find what i'm looking for :-) boy, you have a lot of "irons in the fire" my friend! Retired....? HA!! not hardly! i know you love what your doing-just don't over-do it. hoping Mr A is feeling better, and JJ gets to sleeping thru the night sOOn! bug hugs, thanks for sharing-inspiring-and motivating me xoxo

Catching up on your videos, love the Journal and your craft room. I hide my stuff in a closet so my hubby don’t see it..lol. 👍🐰

Thank you so much for showing us your craft room move. It does look like a big job but won’t you be happy when it’s done and make it easier for you do do your thing. This journal is so so beautiful already.!🇨🇦❤️🙏✌️

Everything that you do is gorgeous. Love it.

Fun stuff!💕 thanks for sharing!

Great video, thanks💖

Your new craft room will be amazing...Janet

Awesome purchases and your room is looking amazing..it's gonna be a great space. Im in the chaos of reorganizing too. It's not for the weak for sure😂😂😂🤗🤗💜💜

Love your selections! Just thought I'd mention it's possible to search through just your videos rather than all of RU-vid. The option to find something in a particular creator's content appears on the channel's home page after the About tab. I find it's quite helpful as I'm terrible at spelling names. *lol*

My word! I need to show my husband this video. He keeps telling me I got too much stuff. He ain’t seen anything yet. And I am an artist that paints, draws, sculpts, and makes jewelry. I also crochet, make journals, does collage and mixed media and multimedia... and I am also a full time high school art teacher. I literally need at least 1100 square feet of space for a studio. I have a six foot Costco table and very limited storage space. I keep a Pinterest board title “maybe some day” that has all these pictures of artist studios that I wish I had. I don’t know when that would ever be. But at least beautiful things are still being created. Right?

Oh Gayle, I just love how this journal is coming alive. Everything you put it it is making it glow! Love from kiwi Sue xx

Well the "Gayle" Effect strikes again haha Scrappy Bird is sold out of those fern stickers! I hope she gets them back in stock soon! I am so glad you shared her shop because I've been wanting to ask about where you got those.

Looking great so far! Your journal is lovely. :) tyfs!

Seeing your room and stash makes me realize that I'm not a horder, yet. I just look like one as I dont have a dedicated craft room. Not saying that you are one. You just have plenty of supplies as you use lots doing videos.
