It’s always fun to look at other people’s goodies. The journals are gorgeous. The shelves look so much better and because they are organized, more accessible. Watching you fight the desire to look at the journals as you moved them reminded me of an old Norman Rockwell cartoon showing a father and son sitting on stacks of National Geographic magazines with the caption stating something like “People who can read will never be able to clean an attic.”😋 Hugs.
As you were filling up your first bin I was thinking, now who’s gonna move that bin! I so enjoy your organization videos, you have so much stuff and you seem to know(ish) where to find everything! It boggles my mind! Thanks Gayle for helping me to organize too!
I’ve always said my dream would be to come to your craft room to play. Well I know I’d be sidetracked by all those beautiful journals! I’d just sit and look through them all ooooing and ahhhhing.❤ Thanks for taking us along on your reorganization. As I learn new things I rearrange my supplies and how things are set up so I can use more efficiently. Have a Blessed day!
Good morning Gayle & Friends. I am loving using Dana’s no mess method. It was fun to start incorporating due to all the videos where the crafter had a declutter coach. I set the timer and go. Trying to do an hour a day. I just wanted to sit on the floor with you and look through all the journals! Good job! blessings and hugs
Good morning Gayle! Wow, I really want to watch this in depth but it's 5 am. Gotta go to bed, I will watch this tomorrow. Looking forward to it!❤🧡💖💚💙💛💜🤎🖤🤍❤
Good morning, Gayle! My goodness, you have a lot of yummy, beautiful journals. So fun to look at all these with you! I love the idea of doing an hour each day. I need to organize my room, but it seems overwhelming. Breaking it into small chunks seems doable! TFS ❤❤❤
☕️ Top of the morning to you!🌞😁 WOW! Just watched your organization video and although I am in the of finishing a project, you inspired me to organize my work space before I continue! It feels good to go forward with another batch of my current project. Thank you for that, Gayle! 👏🏼 Have Happy and productive day, everyone!😁❤️🤗🙏🏼
Hi Mrs Gayle. Oooh i loved seeing your journals and treasures. Super inspired by the organization of your craft room and i look forward to how you re work the real estate by your filming area. Those snippets are gorgeous. Tfs and crafty hugs.
Good morning! Love me some organising!🥰 I've been having a little organising of my desk especially because I've been buying!🤭 Hands up if you want to see Gayle's Supply room!🙋♀️🤣 It's definitely going to need both of you to lift those storage boxes!😘 Looks like you've got another FF Friday idea with those laces and snippets you made!👍 Definitely ended up neater!🫶 Stay safe, prayers for those in need and have a good day!🙏😁❤️
Agh! The Montana journal…gosh, I just love that journal and heck I’ve never been to Montana. Retirement goals for sure!! Thanks so much for this video Gayle, another inspiration to organize AND make more journals.❤️❤️❤️
Good morning, Gayle! I have to clean and organize my craft room! I keep walking in it and saying this is too overwhelming and walk back out. Today I am going to try and do an hour of cleaning. Start in one corner. God bless
Good morning Gayle, I’m watching you organize & I’m organizing my digitals,lol! I’m gonna be busy! Thank you for sharing,please take care & have a wonderful day!🤗💜🌻💕🙏🙏
I love watching your organizing journals. I remember so many of the journals you received as u went through them. It would be fun if you just picked one out every so often and showed them again 😊❤️
Just sitting here drooling over all your luscious journals! I know it always feels good to reorganize my space and move things around that might not be working as they once did. Thanks for sharing!
OMG, Gayle, you have so many lovely journals that you actually use in your work! I am tired just watching you organize your treasures one-handed. Smart to free up areas close to your filming desk. Brava, my friend. 💕💕💕
I giggled when you said, when you get down make sure you have a plan on getting up. Organizing and purging is never ending. As you mentioned, January is always my big month to clear out and organize. You have many many lovely journals. It all looks great
Gayle!!! I absolutely love your craft room. So much inspiration and so much love radiates from your space. I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing your beautiful haven. Get er done! 😁🎉❤️
I might need a nap when we get thru all of this organizing………so interesting. When you retire it will take you the rest of your life to revisit all of these. Love it all……Smiles
Good Morning, Gayle! Thank you for sharing your space and decluttering with us. I have been cleaning and decluttering as well. It is a daunting task but I am feeling so much better. Revisiting all the things you have collected is a good thing! You should have called one of us and we could have done the filming for you!🤣 Hope you and Mike have a good day. I also hope everyone in this community is safe. ❤
Thanks for this video Gayle and showing glimpses of your journals. A question that I see asked many times is ‘How do you use these journals’ and whilst short, shows some ways to use your journal.
I am so glad you shared this video, I have been journaling less than a year and am encoutaged that you have so many idea journals and daily journals. So fun, I actually began writing in a journal with the start of the New Year, books I read, quotes, favorite Bible verses and blessings. It will be full in no time. Excited to make another. So relaxing and fun. Thank you!
Hey Gayle, that was hard work. I don’t know how you did that one handed! My carpal tunnel wrists were aching for you. You could have used a stand to show the whole work area, but the close-ups were nice. I was glad to get a glimpse of a written-in journal. Have a lovely day!❤❤❤❤❤
I think that decluttering and reorganizing is never ending. What I’ve realized about myself is that I need things I use the most has to be near me. As my interests change, so does my organizational ideas change. Watching your reorg this morning, I had an idea for something that I knew needed changing but couldn’t figure out what to do. Now to go see if that will work for me.
Organizing a craft room is a wonderful thing. I know we would love to see a flip thru of your journals before you pack them away. It would be inspirational and give us new ideas for another journal.
Good morning, Gayle! ❤ Thank you for the peek into your craft room. You did a great job with the hour of organization. I need to follow suit. I hope you have a wonderful day! ❤
It’s said that great minds think alike! My plan for today is to clean and organize my craft space which is totally visible because it’s my dining room. Thanks for inspiring me once again.
what a great job! Don't know how you grabbed journals one-handed! My thumbs woud never let me do that! Kuddos to you for getting it done! Love your space so much! Wish I still had the basement, I am so crowded in my bedroom! ♥♥
So neat, Gayle! Thanx for sharing this video! I got my craft room organized a couple days ago. Feels so good to know where everything is!! It's 2 degrees temperature in Indiana! Really cold with the wind chill added to that! Have a great day!❤❤❤Roxann
I would have spent all day doing what you did in an hour, I would have had to open every book and look through it, I am so easily distracted. 😂 Also, love the tip about putting things where you would look for them, I will use that next time I have a sort out. ❤❤xx
Good afternoon Mrs Gayle. One day your children will go through the journals you have made and written in and will understand more about you and they will look through your correspondence journals and see how much you are loved and how much you helped this community. They will pass along your journals to their children and they will pass to their children as they read your journals they will cherish them with fond memories and understanding of a time passed. One day there won’t be paper things like now this is in a way helping to preserve history. Hope you and Mike have a wonderful evening.
So much fun to see all your different journals. The shelf looks great and organized. I am looking forward to future videos on organizing as I need all the help I can get 😂. My goal this year is to journal a bit everyday. Writing what you are grateful for is very good for the soul and mind. I have started with a daily Juanette made for me and I will be choosing one of yours next. ❤🙏❤️
Oh, that’s so awesome, Ann! I do love my daily journaling! And you’re so right, actually writing down our “gratefuls” creates such good energy for us and for the world! One of my gratefuls is you, my friend! Love and hugs to you! ❤
Hi Gayle😊 you achieved a lot in an hour, that's inspiring 😅 hope your left arm is not too sore I was feeling the weight of the camera😂 thankyou for sharing, sending best wishes to you and Mike 💕
Question...who is going to be lifting those heavy tubs every time you want to get into them? Think about throwing some of the silica packets into those tubs to keep moisture out!
Good morning Gayle! Wow, so many pretty journals. You made great headway in just a few minutes. I have a new book shelf I need to put together to help me with an organization project. My goal is to get that done this weekend. Have a wonderful day, take care and stay warm. I will see you tomorrow. I love you friend. 😊🤗❤
You’re so cute! Thank you for this video. I just did a video and I was holding the camera in one hand for about five minutes during it and let me just say… you did a lot better job than I did. 😊
Hi Gayle. I am so jealous of your craftroom. You're putting things into storage where I am constantly organizing my stuff. A never ending battle for me. 😏 I have to label everything or I forget what is in a box, bag or container and I would have to label my shelves etc to remember what I put on them. If I don't I can't find things I know I have. And what I wouldn't give to have pretty things instead of utilitarian things for storage. Sigh. Anyway, great video. TFS Hope you and Mike have a great day. 🌞
Oh Gayle this was so lovely, so many memories, I remember so many things you pulled out. I come across a Dana & Cara video over the Christmas break and they mentioned the challenge, I had no idea you were taking part - it's awesome. I don't seem to get further than stage 1 each day - throw away the rubbish, but I'll persevere 😃😃 Great job, hugs 😀❤️❤️
What a wonderful treasure of journals - I love them! I’m sure you will be happy in your “old” years to reminisce as you page through them. I love, love those old books and you are right, not enough time. And, you have been so productive, but you do have a lot of stuff and many plans. That’s a good thing as we age! I wish I had come to this kind of thing earlier! I always love seeing the peeks of your room - it’s such a lovely, comfortable place to spend time. All the brick speaks to my steampunk soul, haha. Love all the lace - so beautiful. Thanks for r bringing us along on your declutter.
Good morning, Gayle. So many journals! How awesome & fun! Hope your day goes well. Hugs! Sue 😊❤ P.S. I had started watching your video late last night, but couldn't finish it. So, as I was finishing it this morning, I realized you opened up the Xmas idea journal to a page that had the pocket/card I sent you the first year I started watching you. You accepted happy mail then. 😊 I remember sending the set, but forget how I made it. 😏 So, you will need to do that one sometime so I can learn how to make it again. I believe I used paint sample cards from Lowes. 😂 I just remember the pic had Santa leaving the girl with a bunny. I thought it was like you as a little girl & Santa left you a bunny coz he knew you loved them. I know I had fun making it, but I realize now I tied the bow upside down. In a hurry I think. So, feel free to fix that if you can. Gosh, that was I think 5 or 6 years ago when I sent that. Though I dont get on every day like I used to, you are still a very special friend to me & your videos have helped me to heal from some pretty tough stuff that was happening at that time. You are my long distant crafting soul sister, girl. A comfort, as I have no sisters, just 3 brothers. I have also moved around so much, too, with military life making me a nomad. It can get lonely. So, thank the dear Lord for YT & someone like you brave enough to share your talents. Its been fun! 😊 We wanted to live in MT, but decided its too far from my family. So, it'll be Missouri, a halfway point for both our families & closer to coming up to MT on vacation with the RV to hopefully stay longer. We truly loved that area & I'd love another chance to meet. Again, lots of love to you, my friend. Hugs! ❤😊
What a fabulous visit to your museum. You definitely qualify for the Journaling Hall of Fame and I for one can't wait until your documentary comes out ♥♥♥ When I feel overwhelmed by my craft room, all I need to do is remember this trip through your space. Awesome collection of treasures and inspiration. I don't often comment, but I am a faithful viewer and fan. Thank you for the pleasure and joy you bring into my life!! I remember getting planters when my babies were born very similar to the one you have. Fond memory that is!! You're the best!! Blessings and hugs.
Gayle, what a tremendous shelf of love and rememberances. You WILL enjoy looking through those letters and cards in your retired years. BUT like our childrens things that linger forever at our homes, sometimes, THEY GOTTA GO. 🥰 Some 125 years down the road a crafter may find your hundreds of journals and be as ecstatic as we are when we find vintage, handwritten notes and recipes. Space to store your current creative journals is a much better use of your precious space. I cleared out my shed a couple years ago. I used to have large family Halloween, Easter , KY Derby, Fourth of July parties. I had tubs of decorations for each of those events. I pitched or donated all of those. My mess of a garage is my next project 👀😜
Good morning Gayle💞 Very fun and helpful declutter share, love the bin storage. I have been decluttering my room one box at a time. Last year I took everything out and that did not work for me, one box at a time is better. Thanks for sharing, wishing you both a warm cozy day. 🥰Big hugs
Good morning Gayle, I did an hour last week following the steps to just get the top of my desk cleaned off and it felt great. But just so I understand are you planning to leave all your treasures in the totes now in the storage room? They're all so beautiful I would probably have them on shelves all over my house where I could touch them lol. I hope you film when you reorganize around your desk. It's so satisfying to watch. Your space is amazing my friend. ~Patti
Love watching you organize! I’m doing the clean up/organizing too. I’ve made a lot of progress but slow going. Sorted all my shoe boxes which was monumental!. My sewing area is improving but the journal area needs so much more work. Keep it up!
Hi Gayle. You definitely have a lot of stuff. I too have journals I’ve made, but I am too scared to give them away. I don’t know if it’s more because I love them or more because I don’t know if the recipient will love them. My craft room is coming along and I spend a bit of time reorganizing every week. It’s an ongoing project. I enjoyed your video today. Thanks for showing us your little world. It’s courageous of you. Have a lovely day. ❤😊
Good evening Gayle! I thought I had commented after I watched your video this morning but apparently not..ugghhh. Anyway, what great organization of your journals. Loved watching you go through all of them even though we only saw a glimpse into a few of them. Makes one’s heart flutter with all that loveliness. Thanks for bringing us along. So fun! 💞💕Hugs!!
That would take awhile, wouldn’t it?! 😂. I do a lot of work out of my idea journals over on my Patreon. I try to do “exclusive” content over there for my patrons. If I ever have a day where I have no other ideas, I’ll have to do some flip throughs. The Blue Fern Studios journals have flip throughs under that Playlist. 👍❤
Wow, my friend you are amazing. You just posted this video 13 hours ago and you already have 3100 people watch you move journals from one shelf to another shelf. And while holding your camera in one hand while you do it. When I grow up, I want to be like you. Congratulations I cannot think of a better person who deserves such recognition. ❤❤❤
Good morning, Gayle, I had fun last night helping you organize your craft room, I love your humor, can't wait till tonight, thanks for sharing enjoy your day, big warm hugs.
On a wonderful wacky Wednesday, you could do a quick flip through of one journal and choose 2 or 3 projects to create. I bet you have enough to do one a week! They are gorgeous!
Hi Gayle, I have not checked in for a while. I love all your journals you are organizing. I have a couple of things in your correspondence journals. 😊 I have quite a few journals and notebooks. I love making them. Your channel has really inspired me to make some cool ones. I think you are the Picasso of journal makers!
Hi Gayle!! It's a lot of work to organize a room to suit one's needs!! I've been working on purging and de-cluttering since January 3rd!! I'm getting there but will probably take me to the end of the month to finish!! Loved seeing all the journals and the vase from when Mike Jr. was born!! That was simply darling!! Take Care and TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
good going, Gayle! I’m also doing a big reorganization in my studio home 540 sq. ft. so I don’t want it to look like Im a hoader, he, he! But as I go it might be true - a tidy hoader. 😌 🦌💌❤️📚🙏
The fabric Paper one might be my favorite. lol, but I will change my mind again. I love your bunny suitcase too. I totally copied you and I have a bunny box now too. I love bunnies so much. 💕💕💕💕💕
Good morning Gayle. You have a supply room! Go on show us. Much love from Oxford ❤❤❤
Morning Lucy! I should have said Storage room. It just has overflow food, suitcases, and my mail supplies. Nothing at all interesting. 😂❤
It’s always fun to look at other people’s goodies. The journals are gorgeous. The shelves look so much better and because they are organized, more accessible.
Watching you fight the desire to look at the journals as you moved them reminded me of an old Norman Rockwell cartoon showing a father and son sitting on stacks of National Geographic magazines with the caption stating something like “People who can read will never be able to clean an attic.”😋
Hugs.
Hello Gayle ! So many treasures!!! A lot of work ! You have so many beautifull journals.
Big hugs from France.
Annick❤
Hi Annick! ❤
As you were filling up your first bin I was thinking, now who’s gonna move that bin! I so enjoy your organization videos, you have so much stuff and you seem to know(ish) where to find everything! It boggles my mind! Thanks Gayle for helping me to organize too!
I moved the bins myself! I’m old, but I’m strong! 😂❤
I’ve always said my dream would be to come to your craft room to play. Well I know I’d be sidetracked by all those beautiful journals! I’d just sit and look through them all ooooing and ahhhhing.❤ Thanks for taking us along on your reorganization. As I learn new things I rearrange my supplies and how things are set up so I can use more efficiently. Have a Blessed day!
You too, Donita, and you are welcome any time, my friend! ❤

Good morning, Gayle! My goodness, you have a lot of yummy, beautiful journals. So fun to look at all these with you! I love the idea of doing an hour each day. I need to organize my room, but it seems overwhelming. Breaking it into small chunks seems doable! TFS ❤❤❤
Morning Tatiana! ❤
☕️ Top of the morning to you!🌞😁 WOW! Just watched your organization video and although I am in the of finishing a project, you inspired me to organize my work space before I continue! It feels good to go forward with another batch of my current project. Thank you for that, Gayle! 👏🏼 Have Happy and productive day, everyone!😁❤️🤗🙏🏼
Good morning. A whole lot of beauty there. Love getting organized. Have a great day.
Morning Susan! ❤

Good morning! Love me some organising!🥰
I've been having a little organising of my desk especially because I've been buying!🤭
Hands up if you want to see Gayle's Supply room!🙋♀️🤣
It's definitely going to need both of you to lift those storage boxes!😘
Looks like you've got another FF Friday idea with those laces and snippets you made!👍
Definitely ended up neater!🫶
Stay safe, prayers for those in need and have a good day!🙏😁❤️
Morning Susan! I lifted them myself! I’m stronger than I look! 😂❤
@gayleagostinelli_ct 💪🤣
Agh! The Montana journal…gosh, I just love that journal and heck I’ve never been to Montana. Retirement goals for sure!! Thanks so much for this video Gayle, another inspiration to organize AND make more journals.❤️❤️❤️
I have a full flip through of the Montana journal over on my Patreon! It is a super cool journal! Made by Cindy, not Carol! Oops! ❤
@ I remember that video so well. The journal is a true work of art.💙
Morning Gayle!🌞 January is a good time to clean, start the new year fresh with forgotten friends and new ideas!😂❤️🌈
Morning Shawna! ❤
Good morning, Gayle! I have to clean and organize my craft room! I keep walking in it and saying this is too overwhelming and walk back out. Today I am going to try and do an hour of cleaning. Start in one corner. God bless
Morning, my friend! Take small chunks is the the secret! One Hour Better! It works! ❤
Goodmorning and good luck on creating space. I've got to go to my work. So I'll finish watching your video tonight. Have a wonderful day❤
Morning Liesje! ❤
Good morning Gayle, I’m watching you organize & I’m organizing my digitals,lol! I’m gonna be busy! Thank you for sharing,please take care & have a wonderful day!🤗💜🌻💕🙏🙏
Morning Diana! ❤
@ 💜🌻💕
I love watching your organizing journals. I remember so many of the journals you received as u went through them. It would be fun if you just picked one out every so often and showed them again 😊❤️
❤ Gosh do you even remember when you only had the nook to create in.
😂. I remember! Happy mail and Etsy Shares may have been a bad idea! 😂. Yep, had to stop those or find a bigger house! 😂❤
Just sitting here drooling over all your luscious journals! I know it always feels good to reorganize my space and move things around that might not be working as they once did. Thanks for sharing!
OMG, Gayle, you have so many lovely journals that you actually use in your work! I am tired just watching you organize your treasures one-handed. Smart to free up areas close to your filming desk. Brava, my friend. 💕💕💕
Thanks, Gladys! Feels much better and really nice to have the idea journals close, but not taking up “arm’s length” real estate. 😂❤
Good morning, Gayle. Organizing always makes me full better. Thanks for showing us all the lovely journals. Have the best day. ❤️😀❤️
Morning Laurette! ❤
I giggled when you said, when you get down make sure you have a plan on getting up. Organizing and purging is never ending. As you mentioned, January is always my big month to clear out and organize. You have many many lovely journals. It all looks great
Gayle!!! I absolutely love your craft room. So much inspiration and so much love radiates from your space. I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing your beautiful haven. Get er done! 😁🎉❤️
Never would I have thought my kids would want to look at my journals. It’s such a private place.
I might need a nap when we get thru all of this organizing………so interesting. When you retire it will take you the rest of your life to revisit all of these. Love it all……Smiles
Good Morning, Gayle! Thank you for sharing your space and decluttering with us. I have been cleaning and decluttering as well. It is a daunting task but I am feeling so much better.

Morning Mindy! ❤
Thanks for this video Gayle and showing glimpses of your journals. A question that I see asked many times is ‘How do you use these journals’ and whilst short, shows some ways to use your journal.
I do believe you’ve carried last year’s word “unhoard “ into the new year which evidently is bringing you “Joy”! Love it 💜 Patty
Gayle, I volunteer to come set up a journal library for you complete with catalog! So many treasures! ❤
Awesome idea. Count me in to help also!!
Good morning sweet Gayle. I hope you and Mike have a fabulous day ❤
Morning Lorie! ❤
I am so glad you shared this video, I have been journaling less than a year and am encoutaged that you have so many idea journals and daily journals. So fun, I actually began writing in a journal with the start of the New Year, books I read, quotes, favorite Bible verses and blessings. It will be full in no time. Excited to make another.

So many lovely journals to treasure!! When you’re done organizing, you can come work on my mess! Hehehe!!!
I think that decluttering and reorganizing is never ending. What I’ve realized about myself is that I need things I use the most has to be near me. As my interests change, so does my organizational ideas change. Watching your reorg this morning, I had an idea for something that I knew needed changing but couldn’t figure out what to do. Now to go see if that will work for me.
Organizing a craft room is a wonderful thing.
I know we would love to see a flip thru of your journals before you pack them away. It would be inspirational and give us new ideas for another journal.
Gracious! What a treasure cove of goodies!! You are indeed blessed, Gayle!
Morning Gayle 🙏🧸 love your room ❤ good work 👍😘😇
Morning Liek! ❤

I have a clean out project scheduled for today. It never ends! 🧡
How beautiful the shelves full of journals look in the room. I was also wishing to be there looking through all of those treasures with delight!
I would have spent all day doing what you did in an hour, I would have had to open every book and look through it, I am so easily distracted. 😂 Also, love the tip about putting things where you would look for them, I will use that next time I have a sort out. ❤❤xx

Clear totes are the best! Wise choice. What a great space you have, Gayle! I have never seen so many junk journals! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Brenda! ❤
Question...who is going to be lifting those heavy tubs every time you want to get into them? Think about throwing some of the silica packets into those tubs to keep moisture out!
I will! Once I can’t lift my stuff, it’s time to get rid of it! 😂❤
Good morning Gayle! Wow, so many pretty journals. You made great headway in just a few minutes. I have a new book shelf I need to put together to help me with an organization project. My goal is to get that done this weekend. Have a wonderful day, take care and stay warm. I will see you tomorrow. I love you friend. 😊🤗❤
Morning Patty! Love you too, my friend! ❤
Wow🎉thats an awesome craft room ...love it Gayle ❤. It will take me an hour to do my whole area of craft stuff.😅😂😂
This is great. Viewers love declutter and organising videos. They are a hit!
Good morning Gayle 💜
Morning Denise! ❤
I loved seeing around your craft room Gayle ❤ Great job on rearranging your beautiful journals and idea books.
You’re so cute! Thank you for this video.
I just did a video and I was holding the camera in one hand for about five minutes during it and let me just say… you did a lot better job than I did. 😊

Hi Donna! I am blessed to have the room to spread out for sure! ❤
It's amazing how much we can get done in an hour using Dana's method! Looks great, Gayle. Love, Denise Settles (PaperKraftD)
I loved seeing your journal collection! So heartwarming all of the journals filled with happy mail!! Just love our Junk Journal Community!
Holy moly! That’s quite a body of work❤🎉❤ congrats and thank you for sharing.
Great motivational video, and I need it. 💗
Oh Gayle this was so lovely, so many memories, I remember so many things you pulled out.

What a wonderful treasure of journals - I love them! I’m sure you will be happy in your “old” years to reminisce as you page through them. I love, love those old books and you are right, not enough time. And, you have been so productive, but you do have a lot of stuff and many plans. That’s a good thing as we age! I wish I had come to this kind of thing earlier! I always love seeing the peeks of your room - it’s such a lovely, comfortable place to spend time. All the brick speaks to my steampunk soul, haha. Love all the lace - so beautiful. Thanks for r bringing us along on your declutter.
Gayle I love that you shared you organizing your room, so many beautiful things. TFS💕
Loved seeing all your journals and your organization. It inspires me to organize my craft stuff as well. I hope to see more. Hope you’re doing well❤.
Good morning, Gayle. So many journals! How awesome & fun! Hope your day goes well. Hugs! Sue 😊❤
P.S. I had started watching your video late last night, but couldn't finish it. So, as I was finishing it this morning, I realized you opened up the Xmas idea journal to a page that had the pocket/card I sent you the first year I started watching you. You accepted happy mail then. 😊 I remember sending the set, but forget how I made it. 😏 So, you will need to do that one sometime so I can learn how to make it again. I believe I used paint sample cards from Lowes. 😂 I just remember the pic had Santa leaving the girl with a bunny. I thought it was like you as a little girl & Santa left you a bunny coz he knew you loved them. I know I had fun making it, but I realize now I tied the bow upside down. In a hurry I think. So, feel free to fix that if you can. Gosh, that was I think 5 or 6 years ago when I sent that. Though I dont get on every day like I used to, you are still a very special friend to me & your videos have helped me to heal from some pretty tough stuff that was happening at that time. You are my long distant crafting soul sister, girl. A comfort, as I have no sisters, just 3 brothers. I have also moved around so much, too, with military life making me a nomad. It can get lonely. So, thank the dear Lord for YT & someone like you brave enough to share your talents. Its been fun! 😊 We wanted to live in MT, but decided its too far from my family. So, it'll be Missouri, a halfway point for both our families & closer to coming up to MT on vacation with the RV to hopefully stay longer. We truly loved that area & I'd love another chance to meet. Again, lots of love to you, my friend. Hugs! ❤😊
Morning, Sue! How fun is that?! Thank you for being such a long time crafting buddy! Love and hugs to you, my friend! ❤
What a fabulous visit to your museum. You definitely qualify for the Journaling Hall of Fame and I for one can't wait until your documentary comes out ♥♥♥ When I feel overwhelmed by my craft room, all I need to do is remember this trip through your space. Awesome collection of treasures and inspiration. I don't often comment, but I am a faithful viewer and fan. Thank you for the pleasure and joy you bring into my life!! I remember getting planters when my babies were born very similar to the one you have. Fond memory that is!! You're the best!! Blessings and hugs.
Thank you, Karen! I appreciate you being here, my friend! ❤
Gayle, what a tremendous shelf of love and rememberances. You WILL enjoy looking through those letters and cards in your retired years. BUT like our childrens things that linger forever at our homes, sometimes, THEY GOTTA GO. 🥰
Some 125 years down the road a crafter may find your hundreds of journals and be as ecstatic as we are when we find vintage, handwritten notes and recipes.
Space to store your current creative journals is a much better use of your precious space. I cleared out my shed a couple years ago. I used to have large family Halloween, Easter , KY Derby, Fourth of July parties. I had tubs of decorations for each of those events. I pitched or donated all of those. My mess of a garage is my next project 👀😜
Good morning! I just love your setup and space. A nice legacy to leave for children and grandchildren.
Morning Stacy! ❤
Good morning Gayle💞
Very fun and helpful declutter share, love the bin storage. I have been decluttering my room one box at a time. Last year I took everything out and that did not work for me, one box at a time is better. Thanks for sharing, wishing you both a warm cozy day. 🥰Big hugs
Morning Celeste! ❤

Hi sweet friend. ❤ Seems like organizing is a never ending endeavor…we just have so many treasures that we need!! Miss you!!
Miss you, Ruthie! 😢. Hope all is well there! You and your cute guy remain in my prayers. ❤
Good morning Gayle, I did an hour last week following the steps to just get the top of my desk cleaned off and it felt great. But just so I understand are you planning to leave all your treasures in the totes now in the storage room? They're all so beautiful I would probably have them on shelves all over my house where I could touch them lol. I hope you film when you reorganize around your desk. It's so satisfying to watch. Your space is amazing my friend. ~Patti
Morning Patti! I’m still working on my desk area, but I’ll do a little arm’s length tour when I get done. 👍❤
A fresh space feels good. I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs ❤❤
You too, Darcy! ❤
Love watching you organize! I’m doing the clean up/organizing too. I’ve made a lot of progress but slow going. Sorted all my shoe boxes which was monumental!. My sewing area is improving but the journal area needs so much more work. Keep it up!
Good morning everyone!!
Good morning, sweet friend! ❤️
Hi Gayle. You definitely have a lot of stuff. I too have journals I’ve made, but I am too scared to give them away. I don’t know if it’s more because I love them or more because I don’t know if the recipient will love them. My craft room is coming along and I spend a bit of time reorganizing every week. It’s an ongoing project. I enjoyed your video today. Thanks for showing us your little world. It’s courageous of you. Have a lovely day. ❤😊
Hi Heather! ❤
So many beautiful journals! Thanks for showing us around your shelves!
Good evening Gayle! I thought I had commented after I watched your video this morning but apparently not..ugghhh. Anyway, what great organization of your journals. Loved watching you go through all of them even though we only saw a glimpse into a few of them. Makes one’s heart flutter with all that loveliness. Thanks for bringing us along. So fun! 💞💕Hugs!!
Good evening, Junell! ❤
Good Morning Gayle & Everyone! Really gorgeous journals! Fantastic work organizing! Have fabulous day! Luv, Prayers & Hugzz 💖🙏🏻💖
Morning Cherri! ❤
Have you done flip throughs of all of these journals?! ❤
That would take awhile, wouldn’t it?! 😂. I do a lot of work out of my idea journals over on my Patreon. I try to do “exclusive” content over there for my patrons. If I ever have a day where I have no other ideas, I’ll have to do some flip throughs. The Blue Fern Studios journals have flip throughs under that Playlist. 👍❤
January is always good for a great clean out, you did great in under an hour to make your room better! Anne🐨au
Wow, my friend you are amazing. You just posted this video 13 hours ago and you already have 3100 people watch you move journals from one shelf to another shelf. And while holding your camera in one hand while you do it. When I grow up, I want to be like you. Congratulations I cannot think of a better person who deserves such recognition. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Juanette! So excited to get my orange Timmy fabric! Thank you for sharing it! ❤
😂 lol
Great start to your organization. Thanks for bringing us along. ❤
Good morning, Gayle, I had fun last night helping you organize your craft room, I love your humor, can't wait till tonight, thanks for sharing enjoy your day, big warm hugs.
Morning Nicky! ❤
Your craft room is amazing Gayle. Some wonderful Journals. TFS.
Would love a flip through to see your Montana and baby yoda journals. Maybe every once in a while do a flip through day of your journals. 😊
I just filmed a flip through of the Montana journal over on my Patreon! It’s a gorgeous journal! ❤
❤❤so many gorgeous journals! I'm inspired to organize,,, not today 😁 soon! 😊
On a wonderful wacky Wednesday, you could do a quick flip through of one journal and choose 2 or 3 projects to create. I bet you have enough to do one a week! They are gorgeous!
I’ve been doing just that over on my Patreon! ❤
Hi Gayle, I have not checked in for a while. I love all your journals you are organizing. I have a couple of things in your correspondence journals. 😊 I have quite a few journals and notebooks. I love making them. Your channel has really inspired me to make some cool ones. I think you are the Picasso of journal makers!
Hi Marilyn! ❤
Hi Gayle!! It's a lot of work to organize a room to suit one's needs!! I've been working on purging and de-cluttering since January 3rd!! I'm getting there but will probably take me to the end of the month to finish!! Loved seeing all the journals and the vase from when Mike Jr. was born!! That was simply darling!! Take Care and TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
Hi Liz! ❤
good going, Gayle! I’m also doing a big reorganization in my studio home 540 sq. ft. so I don’t want it to look like Im a hoader, he, he! But as I go it might be true - a tidy hoader. 😌 🦌💌❤️📚🙏
Wow! What a treasure! Tfs! Blessings! 💕
The fabric Paper one might be my favorite. lol, but I will change my mind again. I love your bunny suitcase too. I totally copied you and I have a bunny box now too. I love bunnies so much. 💕💕💕💕💕
Bunny buddies! That’s us! ❤
So many beautiful journals! ❤
OMG, is that what I have to look forward to. All I've made was Mini journals so far. Yours are so beautiful 😮😊
