Wow - my Dad had that Better Homes and Gardens binder when I was a kid - he referenced it all the time. I'm 60 so that tells you how long ago that was. Just seeing it brought back a zillion memories - thanks. He's been gone for 33 years so seeing it was pretty special.
Thank you a million times for this series. I have a few of these Better Homes and Gardens notebooks (I am the original owner...was never able to part with them). You have made this old broad VERY happy. Now I know what to do with them
My niece worked at Meredith Publishing in Des Moines, Ia., where Better Homes and Gardens was published. Growing up in Iowa, these books and magazines were the “gold standard” of the time. Old ones are collectors items! The home decorating mags were my mother’s style. I’ll be 75 (yikes) this year and treasure the memories of seeing that cookbook open on the counter of Mother’s kitchen.🦌💌❤️
Using old gardening books is such a great idea.
I have a pile of books I was planning to discard, but now I will use them for quotes and pictures instead.
Gayle, thank you so much for doing this new journal. I have my mother's 1944 Better Homes and Gardens Recipe book. I have looked at that book for weeks not having a clue what to do with it. I had decided I wanted to make a journal, but after that I will send to my brother and his wife. My Mother died when my brother was 16 and he does not have things of my mother and I want to do this for him. My mother was a very good cook and this cookbook is well used! So, thank you Gayle, you came through at the right time, again!
I love that your including your brother for a blessing made with love. ❤❤❤
Hi Gayle!! So happy to see you using items from our Collage/Junk journal kit! Glad you enjoyed it!! If anyone is interested in getting one , we still have some available in our Etsy shop and they're still on sale! Warm hugs, Vilmarie 😊
Yay! I love the start to finish albums!!!
It's so ironic peach has become a new favorite color. They came out fantastic. Color is great too. I love them .. they jazz the paper up. GORGEOUS. These pages in the gardening book are fantastic, Gayle. It can only say look at me!!! I'm gorgeous. Those will make. Great faux stamps too.
I have three of those garden books sitting on my shelf...every year I tell myself I'm going to make a BIG garden journal! This will be fun to watch.
Thank you Gayle. Ive been looking for a step by step video cause I've never made a ring junk journal! Thank Yiu!💜
“The Secret Garden” brings back happy memories of my mother reading that book to me as a child.
I can even recall her and I going to the library and the librarian helping us pick the book out. So grateful for that memory of her.
Thank you Gayle I could almost feel her looking at the pretty papers with me.
How wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing that story of your Mom. 🥰❤️
Ive been looking forward to this project, and that paper pad is just delicious! Gotta say tho, when Gayle was washing the cover of the binder I was 'no, no theres still a splash mark, it didnt come off!' then I realised it was on my monitor! Having my son with adhd bring me a coffee is....messy! lol
😂🤣😂❤️
That’s so great that you have a great coffee delivery guy
@@dellajohnson5413 It is lovely...even if my floor and monitor end up sharing it with me! lol
The first day was so fun so the finished project will be super duper fun! Thanks for doing this.
I am so excited. I have been holding on to 5 ring binders for years. By the time I found them at a thrift store I forgot what project I was getting them for. But now I know! I can’t wait for the next video!! Thank you.
You could use that clear page to see what the page will look like before you cut it.😲🥰
Ooo, yes, I would also love to see how you do a sewing and cookbook binder journal like this. Thanks so much, this is GREAT!!
Oh I didn’t want you to stop! This is already looking great! Beautiful paper
Yay!!! I am so glad you are doing the Gardening Journal. I can't wait to see all that you are going to do.
I have this journal and may start on mine too and play along. I love what you have done so far!!! I appreciate you recording the entire process so I can learn. Thank you again.
Oh my goodness---the Secret Garden paper pack is what I used for my first journal I made. It was for my daughter who is quite a gardener. How funny~~~ looking forward to the end result!
Lovely! How very brave of you to cut into that beautiful paper!😁
Morning Gayle, I think that the journal is going to be super beautiful, the papers are gorgesso. I have never done a ring binder journal before, because I haven't got a long enough hole-puncher, never thanking of using my one punch over and over until i had the 4 or 5 holes in the page !!!!!!! Call me Dipsy Di, it just never occurred to me that i could do that!!!!! Have to go back to school and take a course in LOGICAL THINKING!!!!!!!.... Anyway....... THANK YOU for the wonderful video (again), my day would not be complete if I had not spent some time with you crafting away. Be well and safe, and, as always, sending you Blessings and hugs. Diana
I love it when you make these journals! That paper collection is stunning!🥰
Ohhh - That paper is darling!!! I’ve been looking for a beautiful Secret Garden paper that really speaks to me!!! This journal is going to be fabulous!!! TFS!!! Big hugs, Sharon 🌷💜
Im so excited to see how you make these binder journals! Thank you for taking us along!
This is so fun!! I love that you are using scrapbook paper ! I have soo much !! Love this idea! Thank you
*I saw another CZcamsr who referenced your vid. I got this binder yesterday and it'll be my Summer project. I'm so excited!💛*
I have this book! Am using it (only the ring binder) to make a garden book, entering every flower in my garden, each getting at least one page. Filed alphabetically. About 25% done. Thank you Gayle for giving me more ideas on how to complete it.
That paper is gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing you work on this journal!
This is going to be stunning Gayle, all the papers and original book pages are just gorgeous xxx💕
Oh, Gayle...I've missed watching you craft! I went back to work now that we've come out of lockdown and I haven't been able to watch much. I will definitely be binge watching this series on my day off though!! This is going to be so beautiful!! Those papers are lovely! Looking forward to seeing this journal bloom!
I’m excited about this! I love watching your process and I appreciate learning from you about the different kinds of journals. Thank you
Yippy another start to finish! Thanks! I'm behind but I'll watch all of them.
Absolutely love this!!! You have the best ideas!
Hi Gayle, yay👏🏼 I'm so thrilled you're doing a garden journal. That was my vote, I'm excited to watch. Tfs
This is exciting. Love your thought process when deciding what to use and what to put to one side. Thank you for the lovely video.
Goody! I have 5 ring garden binders and the Secret Garden papers. So excited to craft along with you.
Gayle, interesting idea for a journal. Looking forward to seeing what magic you work to bring everything together.
Hope you have a great evening.
Hugs 🤗
Your friend Cindy from a small town in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
❤️❤️❤️
Lol, I was in love after the first two pages. The paper you are using is so perfect, this is gonna be fun 🤗
How exciting!! So many lovely books & illustrations to choose from. 🤗🐞😍
I’m so excited too!!! This is a make along for sure!!! So glad you are doing this.
I was born in 1955- I’m 65. It’s close to 70.
I too was born in 1955. Just had a birthday in February. ❤️❤️❤️
@@rickwalls4566 happy Birthday! My son turned 40 in February.
What a fun project! I have the same book and love seeing what you are doing! I love how the picket fence from the front original book matches the picket fence paper! So cute!! Love all those vintage books too!! I look forward to seeing your posts on this book!
What an interesting and fun project! So easy to put pages in and out YAY! And such pretty papers 🌺 💕
This is exciting!! Love that paper pad!! I'm using a small 3 ring binder to do mine. So happy you're doing a garden theme...maybe spring will come faster!! 😂 Have an awesome day!! 💜
What beautiful paper!! Can’t wait to see the finished journal!! 🥰
My first time watching you. Im obsessed with learning journal making and repurposing. I've been gathering supplies. I'm so excited to find your channel. God bless your creativity beautiful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and cteativity.
Welcome to my channel Tina! I’m so glad you’re here! ❤️
VERY cool! I see these books often in our local thrift stores. Might have to grab a couple, now!
I’m so excited fir this project. I originally found you because of one of your 5 ring binder projects. Thank you Gayle!
Love THIS PAPER COLLECTION!!!
They are a great color with those "older than us pages" Gail. You can put them in your shop ✅ gone in a second per usual but it's fabulous.
Glad you are doing a ring binder. I have the garden one to do.
Love it! Glad you started with the gardening journal.
So excited to see this book grow. Love the paper. TFS
Ooh, so glad I caught this from day one! It's nice to see the whole journey as it unfolds. As you were coloring your reinforcements, first I oohed, then I thought why don't we use little stickers we have too. We can punch a hole in them and use them as reinforcements too. We could put them on tags too!! See what you started?!! 😅💞
Aaand, I get not distressing everything but you could use a bright colored marker on the edges of your little half moons if you wanted. Or not. I love what you do your way.
Hi Gayle, this is a super project, I love the papers your using too. Can't wait for the next video. Thank you, love Lita xx
I am looking forward to watching this series as it all comes together!! This is going to be a pretty garden journal!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)
This is going to be a great project. Somewhere up in the attic I must have a book like this. Time to explore!
Just bought a BHG binder online for my 2022 gardening junk journal. I'm looking forward to start journaling in it as soon as it arrives!
I just bought that exact binder book a few weeks ago from Goodwill! No clue what I was/am going to do with it, but knew I had to pick it up! I love the colors of cover. And it’s in great condition. I’m stoked to see what you do with yours!
Gayle, you have beat me to it!!! lol I have been saving for years to make a garden theme binder and I have Graphics 45 Secret Garden to use in it. I was planning on making it this summer. I have been planning out in my mind the same way you are doing yours! I am so methodical like you. lol It is sometimes hard to use a method of making things and yet still make it look random, but that is half the fun. I am excited to see all your series on your binder journals. I am saving up stuff to make a sewing journal and a cookbook as well! Thanks for sharing!!!
This will be a fun project to watch and I might give it a try if I can find a good binder. Thanks for the great idea. Have a great day. 🇨🇦
I love hearing hi its gale. Ur crafting skills is amazing. I don't always comment but I'm always watching 💜
Oh boy, this will be exciting. I really love the idea of a gardening journal. I saw a gardening book at the Friends of the Library. Should have bought it.
Yeah! I'm excited about this binder and your process! 👍😊💗
Lovin' this...the Secret Garden papers are so pretty!! 🌸🌷🌼🌹 💐
Love the Graphic 45 paper - going to be a fun project - Hugs.
Yippeeee! You’re the best. This will be my first 📔 journal.
I have been hoping for this tutorial series...thank you!
This is really fun! Thanks for doing this, I haven't seen a 5 ring binder done before so I'm excited!
Oh I am excited about this. I started working on one of these binders last year, I put it away for the winter. Going to haul it out and add some pockets like you've shown, love that. I haven't done one of these before, so I appreciate seeing your process. I have a sewing binder too, hoping to find the cooking and home repair!!
Thanks for sharing your ideas. Take care 💖 🙂
OHHH I'm excited about this project! Just in time for my spring garden plans and planting. Thanks Gayle!
This is new to me and so fascinating with your process! Love the paper!
I love what you have done so far! This book is going to be beautiful! Hugs..
Instead of distressing with vintage photo to make you edges stand out, would you ever consider using a matching distress ink colour to your edge the scrapbook paper and help it stand out...especially for the pockets you are notching out. The paper you've chosen is stunning!!! I'm excited watching this project!
Yay, happy to see your doing a Garden Journal! What about a clear pocket on the inside of the cover so you can still see the published date of the book? Love Graphic 45 paper, very pretty. Our weather temps will be in the 60’s for the next few days, my daffodils are popping up too. Let Spring begin..👍🌞🌸
I think this is going to be fun. Going tomorrow and see if I can find one. I have a seeing one but I use it sometimes for sewing. Thanks . I have been having hard time working on my journals but this video has me excited. Hugs 💝😁
Good Morning Sissy! Happy Monday! So excited to watch your new garden journal video, can’t wait to see what you do with it! I wish I had one of those binders so I could craft along with you, those are hard to find here, I may have to find one on line. 😀 Have a marvelous crafting Monday! Love you tons! 😘🤗😘🤗
This is going to be awesome thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
I will have to keep a look out for one of these folder files when we are out of lock down - love it Gayle xx
Can’t wait to see how this journal turns out . I know it’s going to be fabulous.
Such a fun project! Love the papers!
This is going to be a great project, Fabulous! Take care.
Thank you for showing this, I have a new cleaning lady starting in 2 weeks, and I need to make a communication book, this is totally the idea I needed to jazz her life up. A housekeeping journal. I have binders and soo much card stock. So many ideas, so little time. Cheers
So pretty. For a book like this I would distress in my pinks, purples, and blues!
This will be so cool! The papers are gorgeous. ❤️
I sell them often on eBay. Sold a Better Homes and Garden last week. I bet she’s here with us now 🤣 I m working on the cookbook,the inside was disgusting even burned but the cover was ok.
I’m glad you are doing this series. Already like the way it is coming along. TFS ❤️
I just bought a Singer sewing book at Goodwill. It’s either 4 or 5 rings. But I’m sure the process is basically the same. I’m excited to get started as I also found some ‘50’s clothing patterns to use in it. Yes!
Wonderful video, as always!!!
I really love this!! Thanks for doing this. I can't wait to see more!!!
Love this journal - secret garden is one of my favorite paper packs.
Fun project! I am excited to follow along. I may have 1 or 3 of these on my shelf!
I already love this journal. I can see that it is going to be full of so many great ideas! Thank you.
What fun this is going to be! I’m loving your ideas already. Can’t wait for today’s video. That’s in about 5 minutes. Ok I’m ready what’s next?😊❤️
Well yay a binder journal! I have SO many of these around here and have been afraid to touch'em! lol this is perfect! Thank you Gayle! Hugs xoxo
I will definitely be watching this one. I just bought the cooking binder. Now I just need the perfect scrapbook paper! Thanks for the series.☺
This is so exciting. I definitely want to make one along with you.
This will be a fabulous journal!
Hi Gayle it’s Debbie, just figured out how to leave a comment. Feel really dumb, but it’s a big day. I get to now tell how much I enjoy your videos. Give Baby Yoda some extra hugs. Loving new journal.
Hi Debbie! Technology is a challenge! And it’s a big day when we conquer it! Thanks for saying hi! 😂❤️
