So cute! Thanks for taking the time out of your sleepless busy life. You have so much stress right now so remember to stop, breath and take care of yourself. We love you! Enjoy the moment and keep creating memories . Y’all are In our daily prayer. 💕
I support you 100% x's 100 to do what YOU want to do at the retreat gayle!! life is too short-do what makes you happy!! looking forward to seeing what your little neighbor lady might have shared with you and seeing what you pack to bring on the retreat. have fun with your grand dog-hi Alfie!! love the decorated sacks!! i could make these all day. tyfs and as always---inspiring me!
Hi Gayle - These are cute sacks. Fun watching you make all the pretty stuff. Seriously, I think you should make circus kits and sell them in your shop. Crafting time is suppose to be fun and relaxing - not dreading having to finish something. We both know that we did that way too many years working and having to do things. Those folks that like circus things will be so happy to get a ready to make kit put together by you. Life is way too short to do things we don’t want to do. You have amazing supplies for several circus journals. 💰Sell them and get you a new rolling chair with the money. That my friend WILL make you Happy! 💕🤗💕😍
Gayle Agostinelli You will feel so relieved knowing that you no longer have that in the back of your mind and off your plate! Just do it sweetie! Pressure gone.
When I used to go to my quilt retreat I took something I was excited about to work on. Something that was new. If you take your circus journals it’s not going to be fun and feel more like work. Your there to relax and have fun not stress about things. Those circus journals are not the boss of you lol! 🤗🤗🤗
And if you do the circus journals at home we might can watch! Great job today and I hope you really enjoy your retreat...I’m just a little jelly (as my 9 year old granddaughter would say) 🙂
such cute sacks!!! I was thinking how perfect they would be stand alone with gift cards tucked inside, too... You do you at the retreat. Sounds lgood for the soul.
Great idea for the bags, another project for me, nice n easy too. I was thinking of gluing memo paper to the bag, find in dollar store the long pads; write notes on it and keep receipts from your travels in the bag. 👍😀
I love your idea of gluing memo paper on the bag and keeping receipts in it. I have a couple of the long memo pads from Dollar Tree. Thank you Pat! 🌺☺️
So cute! I just found these bags in my stash just last night! Re-organizing of course! Yes on my ephemera I used washi tape & stitched along the sizes, so far it s holding! Tanks for all your ideas! Yes, do what makes you happy at your retreat!
Good Morning!!! It’s a long holiday weekend and I am starting off my morning with a cup of coffee out on my patio and watching your video. What a WONDERFUL start to the day!!! Hugs my friend!!!
Your subscribers have such great comments. It’s amazing to me that you can concentrate on your project and carry on a monologue!!! I’d love to see what you pack to take with you. 😊
Love your bags Gayle - you never cease to inspire!!! I think you answered your own question about the retreat... do what your heart tells you... that is where you will have your greatest successes and joys!!! The rest will wait for ‘the right time’. Sometimes I listen to you and it’s like you are in my head lol. I too stalk real estate - for no particular reason. I like to look at a home and see styling ideas, I wonder what I would use different spaces for, etc. oh - and it was 2.30am before I went to sleep last night lol. Do what you love my friend - you are amazing!!! 🌷💜
Back at you, my friend...the amazing part!! Loved your ephemera folio video! I hear you about the flimsy cover....I think next go around I may double the scrapbook paper for the cover!! Big hugs to you! ❤️
Awww - You are the sweetest!!! ☺️💗 I thought it was just me and the paper I had chosen. Yours always seems quite sturdy (which is why I thought perhaps you’d used more like a card stock - something I didn’t think to check when choosing my papers). I hope you have an awesome time at your retreat!!! You deserve the break!!! Which is why I think you should focus your time on something ‘just for you’ - whatever it is that is speaking to you at the time!!! Refresh, rejuvenate and, who knows, you may come back with a new vitality and the inspiration and drive you need for your circus journals. Hugs, Sharon 🌷💜 PS It’s now 1.40am and I am wide awake lol.
You could sell the circus journals now. Sell them as kits.. this year you’re only supposed to make what you want. No special orders remember? 😁💜 just do what makes you happy Gayle. You give us such joy when you craft, we’re all long for the ride no matter what. 😘💜💜
I never thought of doing sack pockets like this. I love the idea and the way you decorated them. I am thinking retreats should be fun and relaxing.. So my vote is to do what makes Gayle happy at the retreat!
After a night of severe weather and a sump pump that couldn't keep up ( water in my sewing room ) I received news that one of my dear friends , who has been in the hospital for 6 weeks . Diagnosed with cancer of the spine , requested us to not visit and she was went home yesterday ! Hospice has been called , her 90th birthday is tomorrow !! Coming to your Ytube channel helped me , thank you for giving me some chuckles !!!
Lovely little bags! Too cute! For your circus journals, you could ask if those that wanted them would be happy with kits? I do sleepless nights all the time, it sucks. I need a house with a craft room & no stairs or close neighbors! Mountain Cabin in the woods is the dream. ;) tyfs! Take a breath, you will do great.
I love watching your videos in the morning with my coffee. You inspire & motivate me for the rest of my day! I have a whole box of paper bags & you've given me a new project to think about!!
I'm loving these 😍 they are perfect tuck spots and pockets! I also love your idea of keeping the little strings from the fabric and then reusing them! Brilliant ❤❤😁
Hi Gayle! I remember watching the videos when you returned from your retreats with all of these TNs, mini journals, Little Golden Books, etc. You were still so inspired and excited when you got home... So don't dampen that and keep the fun fire lit! 🔥😂 Luvya, Laurel
I love these! Paper bags are my favorite craft item!! I think you should take fun things to your retreat! Then maybe when you get back, pull those circus journals out. Maybe once you get going g it won't be so bad. You know, I live in the city that's the home of the largest traveling circus back before Ringling Brothers! They used to winter here. Why Wisconsin? But the farms used to have all kinds of a animals, elephants, giraffes... 😊
I just made an ephemera journal or folio following your guidelines. I love it. There are 78 pockets! Can't wait to get them filled up. Thanks you so much. Do what makes you happy.. Im excited to see what that will be. I know i t will be beautiful!
I totally agree with you about not enough hours in a day! I never get the amount of things done I want to! I was playing with Hobby Lobby paper sacks a few days ago. I have the flat ones that are taller. I’ve had some fun with them, folding them and making pockets. I have white ones the same as your brown ones in this video, now I know what to do with them. Thank you! Hope you’re having fun with Alfie! Can’t wait to see what you pack. I see everyone is asking about your ruler and paper. Maybe you could do a quick thing at the beginning saying where you get your ruler and paper and/or something in the description box. Of course, people have to take the time to look in the description box....lol. The other day when I was playing with the paper sacks, I had your video on, and I pulled out my Stampin Up ticket punch, and within 30 seconds, you pulled yours out and used it! I felt like we were crafting together! Hope things are going better at home with hubby’s and daughter’s health. Sending hugs.
Thanks, Martha! Yes, things are on an even keep right now at home, thankfully! Love our “sychronized crafting”. Lol!! Thanks so much for taking time to leave your wonder comments. I do so appreciate you, Martha! ❤️
Retreat =do what you want ❤️ can’t go wrong. Oh I love the bag with Addies printable, I’ll be trying that one great idea to layer them. 🤩 The vintage photo bag is outstanding. Hugs
Come on Gayle , you can do it. I am sure you will actually enjoy finishing off your circus journals once you get to the retreat and feel relieved to put them behind you. Have fun.
Ooh, I’m very excited now because I just got some straw paper bags from Rachel, so now I have to collage them Gayle-style! Working up the courage to start making videos again, so when I do, I’ll make an envelopes one. 😊 I don’t have a new printer yet, so I can’t print any of these gorgeous digi paper sets that I see you girls using; so will have to make do with my stash stuff for the time being... That’s a good thing though! I enjoyed this video, thanks, Gayle. 😘
I saw the video about the vintage items your neighbor gave you, please convey to your neighbor that her love of crafting and sewing will live on in the crafts that you make, or someone else makes with such a precious gift. My neighbor gentleman lost his wife several years ago, and finally went through her craft things, she had a lot of things. He wanted me me to come over and take all of it, some of it, or none of it. I took all of it and told him I would find a place for everything. There was so much. After about a month, I reported to him, that most of the yarn was used by my friends and made into clothing, baby blankets and donated, material was made into quilts and donated to children organizations. I used vintage lace, rickrack, etc in American Girl doll clothes for my Etsy shop, and donated some outfits to be auctioned off to benefit the children’s hospital. I told him his wife was smiling down knowing that her “stuff” was being used in honor of her, his face just beamed. He gave me a hug, and said I just knew you would do her justice. It is important to pass those things on. Let your neighbor know we are thinking about her. Barb
Thank for the name check!!!! Helena, pronounced just how you said it first time, like your mountain, I think you said was near you. Helen with an A, no accents over the E’s!!!! By the time you read this you will probably be on your retreat, but what about, vintage collage Christmas goodies?? Theses little bags are super cute, looking forward to seeing how you use them in your journal. Have the very best time while away, it sounds like heaven making stuff all day with like minded folk. Wish there was something like this in the U.K. TFS 😻x
I definitely think you should do what you feel like doing lovey, I find if you push yourself, when your heart isn't in it, things don't turn out as well as you like, it is your retreat time Gayle, just enjoy xox 💖😉👍 ( the sacks are really cute btw )
hi galye I was going to suggest about sewing the strips on your foilo I was also thinking want about cutting thin strips of your carpet tape it's seam to be very sticky
Enjoy the holiday weekend and your retreat. Do what you want to do. The circus will be there and you'll know when and if you are ready to tackle them. No fun if you are not feeling them.
These little bags are lovely Gayle. Of course you should work on what makes you happy not on what is there waiting for you. I have a crochet shawl that I really should finish but can't bring myself to do so just now. But of course I'm working on other stuff while that is calling out to me. 😂 xxx
LOVELY TAGS-LOVE YOUR VIDEOS-I AGREE YOU SHOULD MAKE/WORK ON WHAT EVER MAKES YOU HAPPY-THANKS FOR BLESSING ME DAILY-YOU ARE SO SWEET-TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS
Hi Gayle. You told us that this year you were going to do what you wanted to to. So, no circus journal for your retreat. haha! Also, maybe you could take over the den space right next to your studio and move the t.v. to the living room cause you do need more space. I know your husband would love that idea! lol
It’s so funny that your glue stick did that. I just started a new one today that I got from Amazon, same one the Uhu and it did the same thing big old globs. I’m hoping it’ll get past it but I’m thinking about just cutting off a quarter of an inch off the top, it looks funny too, it’s sort of two-tone blue, I wonder if it’s faulty.
Those are very cool - I do not have any small paper bags like those. AND I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANY! Just yesterday I received a package of 100 CD envelopes because of the video where you did the Tim Holtz view finder disk inside one of those envelopes and I LOVED it! But this time, I WILL NOT succumb!! ;-) For now.
Your ephemera folio turned out not only beautiful but so functional. I love the extra high pages for trims; a great idea that I plan to add to mine. You have such beautiful ideas on everything you do. I'm relatively new to your channel, and I hear you mention "retreats" all the time. Can you tell me a bit about that when you have time? TFS all your creativity. I know a lot of people learn a lot from you! Hugs~~Liz
Hi Liz! The retreats I go to are here in Montana. I have a couple of friends that do them and then I do an invitational junk journalers retreat once a year in May. That’s the one I’ve been talking about. It is next week! Woohoo! I’ve suggested to people that they get involved in their art communities in their towns. There’s probably something like the retreats in towns around the country. ❤️
A friend of mine wanted a bigger craft room so sold the dining room table, living room furniture which were connected by an open door way. Lol her husband got tired of living that way so he built a house with the craft room the size she wanted and the rest of the house is built around that room. 😂😂😂 or take over the family room leaving a place for hubby to hang out and watch tv.
Hi Gail, you are just the cutest! I love how these bags are coming together 😍. I would really love to make an ephemera journal like the one that you showed. Have you done a tutorial on how to make those signatures?
I am!! My “go to” recipe for a larger group. The skillet dinner and a salad and boom!, done!! And back to crafting! Haha!! Oh I so wish you could be there, my friend!! ❤️
Just love this idea with the little bags! I'm crazy about anything that's tiny! I can't tell you how many times I take a "screenshot " while watching your videos! 🙂 #1 Because I think your creativity is amazing! And #2 if I wanna try one of your decorating ideas, I have to have a picture of it, because my memory is not what it used to be! 🤣 Also, do you have a video on how to make your ephemera keeper book? Hope you have tons of fun on your trip! Love & Big crafty HUGS!! 💕~Suzy~
Hi Suzy! I have several videos on making the ephemera folios! I can’t link from my iPad, but if you search YT for “Gayle Agostinelli Ephemera Folio”, they will come up. Or go to my Tutorial playlist on my channel. Hugs! ❤️
Hi I'm new to journalling and I love your channel I was wondering where to get the brown lil things your gluing the bits too. They are great lil pockets lol
Do what you feel. Follow ur mind of thoughts. Whatever you decide I'm sure will be great. I have a question, I know u told us where you purchased the ruler, but do you mine telling me again. I would appreciate. Thank you in advance. Love the paper bag idea. Good creative idea. Again Thanks!! 😘
So cute! Thanks for taking the time out of your sleepless busy life. You have so much stress right now so remember to stop, breath and take care of yourself. We love you! Enjoy the moment and keep creating memories . Y’all are In our daily prayer. 💕
Crack of dawn with the chickens is the best time of day for me!! Love your work!
Its Oct of 21 and I'm just now watching this little altered bag video. I love, love, love the gold on black background paper. Its gorgeous!!

Beautiful as always Gayle thanks for a wonderful morning! I’m so happy I found your channel. I live just above you in Alberta.
Another great project, I too, have been procrastinating about some projects.
Hi Gayle,
Excellent tutorial and reminder of the stash I have LoL ❣️
Take a nap Lady 💤 lol
Great Tutorial. Love this. You are great. Greetings from germany send Iris
Retreat =do what you want ❤️ can’t go wrong.
Oh I love the bag with Addies printable, I’ll be trying that one great idea to layer them. 🤩
The vintage photo bag is outstanding.
Hugs
Come on Gayle , you can do it. I am sure you will actually enjoy finishing off your circus journals once you get to the retreat and feel relieved to put them behind you. Have fun.
I love making ephemera ahead of time. I am filling a shoe box. Started a shoe box with pockets and tags. ❤
Ooh, I’m very excited now because I just got some straw paper bags from Rachel, so now I have to collage them Gayle-style!

Love what you do and don’t stop!!’ Ever! Xo
Hi Gayle, I have made an ephemera filo as per your tutorials. So easy and such fun to do. Thank you so much 👍😊💕 (btw: the bags are super cute)
I definitely think you should do what you feel like doing lovey, I find if you push yourself, when your heart isn't in it, things don't turn out as well as you like, it is your retreat time Gayle, just enjoy xox 💖😉👍 ( the sacks are really cute btw )
hi galye I was going to suggest about sewing the strips on your foilo I was also thinking want about cutting thin strips of your carpet tape it's seam to be very sticky

Just lovelyyy😍😍😍😍
Hi Gayle. You told us that this year you were going to do what you wanted to to. So, no circus journal for your retreat. haha! Also, maybe you could take over the den space right next to your studio and move the t.v. to the living room cause you do need more space. I know your husband would love that idea! lol
I love that black and gold paper
Check out Amelia Journals on Etsy. I’m pretty sure she has it in her shop! ❤️
Great Video!
It’s so funny that your glue stick did that. I just started a new one today that I got from Amazon, same one the Uhu and it did the same thing big old globs. I’m hoping it’ll get past it but I’m thinking about just cutting off a quarter of an inch off the top, it looks funny too, it’s sort of two-tone blue, I wonder if it’s faulty.
Hm, don’t know if its faulty. Mine only did it the once. And I was able to smash it around, so no biggie. But super annoying if it keeps doing it!! ❤️
Those are very cool - I do not have any small paper bags like those. AND I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANY! Just yesterday I received a package of 100 CD envelopes because of the video where you did the Tim Holtz view finder disk inside one of those envelopes and I LOVED it! But this time, I WILL NOT succumb!! ;-) For now.
Your ephemera folio turned out not only beautiful but so functional. I love the extra high pages for trims; a great idea that I plan to add to mine. You have such beautiful ideas on everything you do. I'm relatively new to your channel, and I hear you mention "retreats" all the time. Can you tell me a bit about that when you have time? TFS all your creativity. I know a lot of people learn a lot from you! Hugs~~Liz
Hi Liz! The retreats I go to are here in Montana. I have a couple of friends that do them and then I do an invitational junk journalers retreat once a year in May. That’s the one I’ve been talking about. It is next week! Woohoo! I’ve suggested to people that they get involved in their art communities in their towns. There’s probably something like the retreats in towns around the country. ❤️
@@gayleagostinelli_ct do you live anywhere close to Paradise, Montana?
Please do a packing video. I would love to go to a. Retreat but I didn’t know what to take I feel like I need to pack my whole craft room
I have a retreat packing video! If you search You Tube for Gayle Agostinelli Retreat, it should come up. ❤️
Loving the idea of the tiny bag. Where did you get them. Also love the trims you listed.
Hobby Lobby. ❤️
just a thought...put your longer tag in the back fold of the sack and it should fit better because that side will be a bit deeper.
A friend of mine wanted a bigger craft room so sold the dining room table, living room furniture which were connected by an open door way. Lol her husband got tired of living that way so he built a house with the craft room the size she wanted and the rest of the house is built around that room. 😂😂😂 or take over the family room leaving a place for hubby to hang out and watch tv.
And I'm up watching videos at 2am to stop the wheels turning so i can go back to sleep haha
Hi Gail, you are just the cutest! I love how these bags are coming together 😍. I would really love to make an ephemera journal like the one that you showed. Have you done a tutorial on how to make those signatures?
I’m sorry, Martha, I’m not quite understanding your question. Maybe autocorrect kicked in or something? ❤️
Gayle Agostinelli LOL! I edited my original comment. I was admiring your ephemera journal😍
I have several tutorials on making the ephemera folio. They are under the Tutorials playlist on my channel. 😁❤️
Gayle Agostinelli found them! Thank you 😊
Gayle, just do what you wanna lol 🤗💐😘
Are you making your skillet pasta for your night to cook at your retreat? Sounds like so much fun
I am!! My “go to” recipe for a larger group. The skillet dinner and a salad and boom!, done!! And back to crafting! Haha!! Oh I so wish you could be there, my friend!! ❤️
Just love this idea with the little bags! I'm crazy about anything that's tiny! I can't tell you how many times I take a "screenshot " while watching your videos! 🙂 #1 Because I think your creativity is amazing! And #2 if I wanna try one of your decorating ideas, I have to have a picture of it, because my memory is not what it used to be! 🤣 Also, do you have a video on how to make your ephemera keeper book? Hope you have tons of fun on your trip! Love & Big crafty HUGS!! 💕~Suzy~
Hi Suzy! I have several videos on making the ephemera folios! I can’t link from my iPad, but if you search YT for “Gayle Agostinelli Ephemera Folio”, they will come up. Or go to my Tutorial playlist on my channel. Hugs! ❤️
Love the sacks. Would E6000 help hold your pockets on your ephemera book?
Probably! It holds about everything! ❤️
