Start to Finish 5 Ring Binder Garden Journal - Part 2 

I love shopping in my own craft room too, but I gotta tell ya, the lunatic thats in charge of inventory has got to go!!

I’m pretty new to all this junk journaling fun! I wish I had kept all of my Mom’s old fun binders like the one you’re working in. I’ll have to peruse all the thrift stores as soon as this whole COVID thing has settled some. Thank you for teaching me all these awesome things to keep me busy during these times. Love watching you!❤️

I’m embarrassed to admit but one day I threw my back out while sitting in bed watching RU-vid videos...every time I moved I yelped.. 🙄 I guess RU-vid is hard on a body.

Shopping in my own stuff, I love it. The older I get the more surprised I am with my finds. You always make me laugh, thanks for all you do.

Gayle, I would love to go shopping in your craft room. lol 😂 Another interesting video. Hugs 🤗 Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️

Oh, Gayle, completely understand the back pain. As I sit here with ice on my back. My daily morning routine

These papers are so beautiful, your journal is going to be a vision of colour !! XXX

You have so many great ideas! I’m taking inspiration for my journals! Thank you. Thank you. Take care dear Gayle!

Love this ❣️ Can't wait to find a binder to use, in my house there's not a lot of shopping it's more like a treasure hunt 😂 So glad I am a subbie and I can call it up in the library for when I am prepared. A joy as usual, thanks Gayle.

I love watching your thinking process. And I love this journal. Hugs and blessings

Hi Gayle... that paper pad us so sweet but its from 2016... lol... its almost as old as the book 📖 😄 I'm just kidding. But it does emphasize how we hold onto the pretty stuff far too long! I was thinking on the one you made a trifold youcould have used a solid sheet if card stock to attach it to, but you gad a clever idea 💡

Love this garden journal. My best friend has a beautiful yard. She does all of the work herself. She even built a three pool pond with a waterfall. This would be perfect for her. If you haven’t watched Anne with an E on Netflix it’s a great series.

My back and sides have been hurting because my hubby and I are doing yard work. My grandson took down our old deck and my hubby and I have been hauling boards to the dump. It’s a long slow process because my husband will only work until noon! It’s tough growing old!

I love these start to finish projects! I can’t wait to get home from work and watch this.

Love this. These are my favorite types of books. Maybe Yoda has been kicking you in the night....lol😂😂😂

Oh I hear ya on that back pain. I just have to say my sock of rice is my best friend! Lol!

Yay! I have this exact Garden Book and wanted to make myself a garden planner!! I will be watching every move you make Gayle! Thanks for this series!!! 💕

Prayers of healing sent. ❤️💯🙏🏻

Oh my gosh! That Better Homes and Garden Garden book is the greatest! I'm going to be on the lookout for that at thrift stores. tfs

Love how this is coming along!

How about adding the hole punch piece to the top and have them fold out landscape instead

So sorry your back hurts Gayle. Take care of yourself! This journal is going to be beautiful. Love this paper collection. I had 1 stack and I think I used every little scrap of it. Gentle Hugs, Amy💕💕💕

I really, really love how this garden journal is going! I adore flowers and watching you make this just makes me happy inside and out, it lifts me right up! I need to find some things to make one with, it is such a bright and happy journal! Naughty you for not telling me about your back! I do hope it is much better by now! Love and hugs! 🤗😘🤗😘🤗

I know what it's like to have back pain ( bad arthritus in my case) so I hope you are feeling better now hon! Just love this project, that paper pad is now on my 'I need this NOW' list :D

Good morning! Just got back from mom getting her second covid shot and ready to watch my Gayle video!

Love the flower postcards you found - and the papers are sooo beautiful - we're all going to be itching to get out in the garden - wonder if my crocuses are peaking through the ground yet - Hugs.

Im so glad I have saved my binder books now. I knew they would come in handy for something someday. Thank you for the inspiration and tutorial on how to use them.

Love this garden journal 😍😍❤️❤️ such beautiful paper 😍😍 TFS 😘😘😘

I get back pain whilst sleeping sometimes, I feel you Gayle it’s one of the worst pains! The flower paper collection is beautiful, this is so interesting to watch tfs xxx💕

Ordered my paper. Found some other parts to the kit on lots of bubbles and a 6x 6 pad for $4.00. My notes under Gayle, have sections, I write all of your suggestions and mine. My brain goes in to over drive with ideas!!

Lol! Gayle...I'm sitting watching shouting ..wrong way gayle! Xxxx

Shopping in your own craftroom...WOO HOO!! 😃👍🏻 You have such great ideas for creating pages...TYFS!! 🤩 Hoping your back feels better soon!! ❤🤗🙏🏻

Love, love, love this...oh, who am I kidding...I love anything you do 🤣😂😝. This beautiful paper is upping the enjoyment factor. Thanks Gayle!❤️

OMGoodness absolutely love this it's becoming a Beautiful Journal. 🤗🐞🥰

Oh Oh yes 👏 A large pocket to place magazine pages regarding plants perhaps a yankee magazine explaining zones weather and times of sun. Genius friend👏👏

I have this collection of papers and it really is a beautiful collection!! You are giving me some wonderful inspiration/ideas!! Off to the next part!! TFS Gayle!! Hugs, Liz:)

Ok, now I really want to make one of these, I’m loving it, I want a cook book one. So I just need to find a binder cookbook to use, thank you so much for sharing..I love it 🌸🌸🌸

Love it! I knew I was saving my old binder books for something🤣🤗🥰❤️Thank you for all that you share! 🙏🏻Praying you feel better soon 🙏🏻

Hi Gayle Awesome idea to do a 3 ring binder. That goes on my list. I got a giggle when you said Holy Buckets. LOL. And now of course I want this paper pad. Thx??? Back problems are not fun. Sending you healing prayers. ❤️❤️❤️ Linda

Love your colored papers and the way you created pockets. I enjoyed watching the video. I'm looking forward to finding a binder and explore my way through. Thanks for inspiring me beautiful ☀️💓👍🙏

I own a 1951 copy of that BHG garden journal , which was my mother’s ! It was a Xmas gift from 1953 . Don’t think I’ll repurpose it but love the secret garden theme . Thanks for ideas .

I went out to the antique shops today to try to find some Edith Holden books (yeah, right that was gonna happen). Anyway, I found a 1975 Better Homes and Gardens Decorating Binder Book. So, I am going to follow along with you and attempt my first ever junk journal. We shall see. (ha-ha) Nothing against your videos more about my lack of crafting abilities.

I am so loving this project! I’m actually working on a wedding album with a graphic 45 journal , so the ideas are awesome ! I just love this paper line !!! Thank you

Again, great ideas 😃 I am looking forward to seeing the progress. Thank you for sharing and inspiring 💖😉🌱

Anyone looking for a 5 ring binder and you’re in the USA, check out the Goodwill. I just got a weight watchers cookbook that is a 5/ring binder. I also have a gardening book similar to what Gayle used on order from Etsy, but the cookbook was only $3. I’m thinking of making the cookbook a mixed media art journal.

I've never seen a 5 ring binder journal before and am really enjoying watching you. I love all of the Graphic 45 papers, they are beautiful!

I've been watching every day on my TV. Still love watching you do your thing! Today my screen on my tv wouldn't play your video. I live in Florida so I don't know what the problem was. Great to see you as always! Thank you...

Loving all the ways of making a tri-fold flip out and pockets!! Praying for relaxed muscles💕🐬hugs

I love these start to finish journals.

I have at least one of these and I absolutely love garden/nature journals. You are giving me so much inspiration! Thank you for sharing this process with us!

Good Morning Miss Gayle!! When I had to do my ex husbands estate 😥he had our old binders from when we collected all these types of things, gardens pages, tools pages, cookbooks, etc. Of course, I got rid of them 😥. I had just started doing junk journals and did not have the energy or thought to kept them during that time. I still have a few of my own though! And a couple I have purchased. Love these! Gayle yours looks so pretty!!

Found myself a vintage binder book and am ready to get started. What a fun change from my bound junk journals, TSF, Gayle. Your papers are so pretty.

Such beautiful pages from the paper pack. I tried to find the Secret Garden pack but haven’t been able to. Such pretty paper. You have come up with so many wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing 🤗

I can't believe I donated my old Better Homes and Gardens book to Goodwill. I'm going to call a local used book shop to see if they have one. This would be so much fun! By the way, when my sister was little and she had to think about homework, she would say, "My brain hurts." Hope yours doesn't hurt after figuring out how to make the first trifold. I got a chuckle when you were talking about having to think so hard. Also hoping your back is feeling better.

I get so mad when I wake up with a pain in my neck or back. I better have been having some good dreams for that to happen! Today I ended up wrestling (grooming) a feisty Standard Poodle so am currently sitting with a heating pad at my back LOL.

Confess I’ve been stocking up on these binders and love this series! Think youve given me the confidence and some great how-to examples to actually get started. Thank you thank you!

Maybe it’s the barometric pressure with all our aching backs. Mine is killing me. I had to dig out my pulse sensor gadget and try and zap the pain away. Tomorrow will be better. 👩🏼

Hello Gayle, watching you 6pm my time today. This journal is coming along so nicely and it is going to look sooooo good when finished. The Secret Garden papers are so lovely, I would have a hard time choosing. Well, I hope you are going to have a lovely day, keep well and safe. As always, Blessings and hugs. Diana

Hope you feel better soon Gayle. Enjoying this binder journal process!🥰🇨🇦

I getting lots of ideas. Thanks. And, yes I use Solanpas everyday. Haha

Gayle, I hope you feel better soon. I know about back pain. I wake up with it every day. Thank you for pushing through and doing a video even though you should have been taking care of you. We are so lucky and blessed to have you. Hugs!

Dear Gayle I don’t think you have made any pages with a diagonal pocket? love ,love, love this journal Mel

I have been watching you and others for a few months now. I am fascinated by junk journaling. Have been a crafter my whole life and done about every kind of crafting. So I have about any kind of supplies. I have also been saving junk mail and other goodies. Just haven’t made a journal yet. I can’t decide where to start. Anyway, I love watching you and your journals and ideas are awesome. I will continue to watch and be inspired and hopefully try my hand at it soon. Thank you! Donna K S

Bless your heart I know how it is to have back pain.I am going to watch all of these videos because I have several of those type of binders and have been wanting to make a junk journal out of them.I would love to go shopping in your craft room.I have never seen anyone that has as much stuff as you.lol !!! I have been wanting to make a Bee journal for myself.but I'm going to have to start collecting my Bee stuff.stay safe

Boy is that the truth! My son slept wrong and his arm hurt all plus his back. I hurt my back too . Getting old is the pits! My son and his wife have gone thru a million beds. Don't try the so called purple bed. Doesn't help.

I hope you’re feeling better by now, dear Gayle. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!

Great time with you today. Thank you. This journal is turning out so lovely. Just lovely🌸💝🌺

The journal is looking good Gayle! Take care of yourself!

Love this...a regular binder could have posibilities🤔

Gayle, have you tried Bio-Freeze for your back? It helps relieve mine at times. And yes... it does hurt getting out of bed at times! I just take it as a sign that I dont need to get out of bed yet. Lol

I use the Walgreens brand Salonpas for my knees. I like them better than the name brand. They have lidocaine in them and they’re a blessing! 🤗💕🦋

This is coming along great, I can’t wait to see the next video. I am on the look out for a five ring binder book.🇨🇦

Hi Gayle, I am waiting for my paper to come in for this and will be following along with you. I have prep work all done. Can't wait to start.

This is turning out to be so pretty. I do hope your back is easier today Gayle, as we get older they stay with us a bit longer......Take care xxxxxxx

I love this journal already. It's so pretty and happy. I hope your back feels better.

Hope you’re feeling better soon. I appreciate you sharing this process.

Turn the yellow dividers into journaling spots for writing

Much fun (as always)!! 😊 I enjoyed watching!! ❤

This is coming along so nicely! Hope your back is better soon. Hugs..

Loved watching you decide what to do with each paper..I laughed when you put your finger on the score board to keep your place and then had to leave it there for a moment while you figured something out!

I have got to get my collection of images together you have such a wonderful collection thanks for sharing

Good morning Gayle 💜 Wow...that box of flower postcards is amazing!!

Love Gayle. I have a recipe binder I will try to do along your idea. I know you will inspire me.

My husband heard you mention Salonpas patches and next thing I know he's sitting next to me on the couch. When I asked what is he doing he said he wanted to see how you're using the patches in your journal.. I almost fell on the couch laughing. Guess he thought I'd be wanting to confiscate his patches for crafting. 😂

Love all the interesting pages you made. I really liked the flip out

Enjoying this start to finish Gayle! Thank you.

Such awesome paper. You have a great selection.

Hi Gayle! I just got some of those flower/plant cards at GW the other day

Sorry your back is bothering you. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope your back is better by now! Ouch 🙁❤️

There’s nothing worse than a backache! Feel better!

Love Salonpas! Not a fan of the big ones though, they do nothing for me, but I usually have at least one of the small ones on at night 🥴

This is such a cool project! Loving this😍♥️

I have 3 of these garden books and really didn't know what I wanted to do with them, but now I do. Thanks Gayle for getting my creative juices flowing. You're the best.

THE WHEATHER COMING FROM THE TOP AREA IS HURTING ME TOO ALL MY JOINT ARE KILLING ME I EVEN HAVE A DR.PRESCRIPTION AND IT NO HELP SO I FEEL YOU

I need to watch part 1...thanks for doing this!

This is going to be super pretty. I love it already.

HI I made it to part 2. Yay. I'm so excited to watch!

Love how this is coming along!💕

Love the way you're putting this together.
