Good morning Gayle,I enjoy Forgotten Fridays as much as I enjoy scrappy Saturday. Edith Holden books are amazing. It’s so exciting to have a friend who can draw beautiful birds . Blessings to you and your family.💚💕💚

Morning Gayle. Who does not love Edith Holden. Love what you (and Ceri) have made with the pages. Take care. Hugs.

Hi Gayle, Most days I watch you for several hours. Sometimes I choose certain videos if I want to learn something other times I just let youtube choose the videos. When I started to watch this video I thought to myself she just did an Edith Holden video with Ceri's stuff. It turns out that one of the videos I watched yesterday is from a year ago when you were recreating Ceri's pockets. I was so inspired I got out my Edith Holden books and since they are still sitting here I will craft along with you again today! As always thanks for sharing, you are a joy to watch.

Thank you for sharing such an informative video..I am rspecially moved by your Ceri Caddy..full of Edith Holden..such a loving gift...so special.. I love the Flower Fairies...even at the age of 70 I have never outgrown some of my childhood enchantments..so I am inspired to do likewise with The Flower Fairies..Thank you..and Ceri..so much..💚💚

Geez, I wish I could find a reasonably priced Edith Holden book. I love them and I love how you use it, Gayle! Ceri is a gem for giving that to you as a gift.

"... a little haircut and a little toe trim ..." hahaaha LOL 🤣 ❤️ LOVE the Edith Holden paper!! 💕💕💕

I am so happy you did this one! Thanks to Ceri, too. I love the Edith Holden art.

Hi Gayle ..so nice to have coffee with you this morning. I love the way you celebrate when you find what you need. I have several Edith Holden books and such that I need to get busy with.. I really want to try making the things you and Ceri have. I hope you have a very blessed day 🤗💜

This was a best forgotten friend Friday because you used treasures from friend Ceri and friend Gayle. Hi and hug unforgettable friends from Carolyn in Louisiana.

I just love Edith Holden, I don’t think wouldn’t! Thanks for sharing Miss Gayle 🤗🌻💕

You can never have too much Edith Holden! Perfect timing, I need some pockets etc… for a folio I am making and some of these will be perfect! Thanks for sharing sis! Excellent reminder of forgotten friends! Love you! 🤗❤️🤗

This video couldn't come at a better time. I just purchased four Edith Holden books. Time to get busy.

Hi Gayle!! That was an awesome gift from Ceri!! Lots of examples that you can make for yourself!! Edith Holden pages do make for wonderful ephemera!! TFS!! Hugs, Liz:)

Gotta love Edith Holden. I am hoarding five books. I purchased some individual pages that I use as of now. Maybe one day I will be able to cut into one of the books. Love Ceri’s work…he is such a clean crafter.

I'm really enjoying the forgotten friends! Edith Holden books are like hens teeth here in nz... And I managed to get one... But I'm just hoarding and ooohhhing and ahhhing over it for a wee while! ❤️

I remember when you received this amazingly thoughtful gift from Ceri...it definitely is " the gift that keeps on giving"!! 😘🎁 Thank you for taking us along as you revisit these great ideas using EH pages!! 🦋🌷🐦 I think I saw a bee(along w/ a butterfly) on page 95, but it may not be "in the middle" enough!? 🐝❤🤗

What a birthday gift! Beautiful ephemera from your friend!

Good Evening Gayle! Love Edith Holden books, I have two and don’t have the heart to cut them up. I’ve decided to save them for my granddaughter’s. I do enjoy reading them too. Great ideas for book pages. Have a great weekend and see you on Scrappy Saturday. 👍🌼🌼🌼

Happy Friday Miss Gayle!! Love love love yours and Ceri's awesome work with the wonderful Edith Holden..You guys have definitely inspired me to look for her books and come back and watch this video again..Thank you for sharing all the fun with your subbies❤️ I laughed so hard when you found that second Poppy page,when you said yesssss I thought of a teenage girl when she gets asked out by a cute boy and after they hang up she says yessss🤣🤣 I love watching you cause not only do you inspire us,but you give us laughter that lightens the load for a lot of us❤️ Be blessed my sweet friend!!

You must make your photographer/artist friend an Edith Holden journal and give her a book to let her know she is this generation's guide to the beauty of birds. This is how you can pay Ceri's gift forward.

Hi Gayle, Ceri sure made some beautiful pieces with the Edith Holden. I was in awe watching the video where you opened the gift. Enjoying this video and feeling inspired to create!

Hello Gayle, I love ephemera and especially made from Edith Holden, love it all. TFS

Absolutely love Cari’s Edith ephemera. Such a wonderful gift. You are making some beautiful pieces. Thank you for sharing 🤗

Edith Holden has become one of my absolute favorites, especially her incredible illustrations. Someday I hope to have one of her books. I was formerly trained by a watercolorist for 15 years. I can’t wait to make a journal inspired by Edith Holdens amazing work. You did an incredible job along with Ceri to capture her beautiful work.

This was so fun! Lots of cool ephemera! I remember when you received all of it from Ceri! Hugs

I thought I saw some bees with flowers as you flipped through, Gayle! Look, again!🐝

Oh Gayle you make me laugh … My favourite time of day is watching you. I am starting a little golden book journal while I watch

Love all of this Edith Holden ephemera Gayle! So cool!

Wow!!!! You have a great friend in Ceri. Neat stuff

Hi Gayle, Thanks for taking us through the steps on how to make some replicas of your Edith Holden stash. I do have a book that I hold precious. Love from Colorado.

I remember when you opened his gift. Fun to watch. Boy o boy I’d love an Edith book. They used to be inexpensive but not now. I squeal a bit when someone finds one at a charity shop. 💕

Your so cute. I was yelling at you when you were looking for the poppy page. The example you had, had the page number on it. You were cracking me up. Glad you found it in the end. I was laughing so hard.

I absolutely LOVE watching you “think through” the recreation of your beautiful gifts from Ceri. Such an inspiration, both you and Ceri.... and of course Edith Holden, posthumously! Thank you, Gayle!!!🌿🌺

Love Edith Holden. It's so hard to find an affordable book now. Love your video today. This is such a neat segment. Have a great weekend!!

The Edith Holden ephemera is so awesome. Need to get my Edith Holden book out and get some made. It all looks greagt. More things for your retreats💕💝💝💝

This video is so timely. I’ve been working on a couple of Edith Holden journals for a few weeks now, I’m slow, and I just took that poppy page and pulled it out and put it with my poppy journal stuff to bring to Montana.

Morning, Gayle! I bought an E.H. book a fair while ago now. Unable to cut into it of course. But this morning watching this video, by which I mean tidying and rearranging my craft room while I listened and occasionally looked up, I decided to deconstruct the book, still keeping the pages intact and use it as a gardening journal with other pages interspersed throughout. My present one is too small, though it was one of the first altered books I made after learning the technique from you a few years back. Your student has come full circle! Hahaha... Veronica x

Have a wonderful weekend - Hugs.

Can't believe it's been 2 years ago already...time flies when you're having fun crafting. 🤗 Yesterday I was sorting through my handmade ephemera and found a few pieces left from my mass make from Edith Holden pages 2 years ago. My plan for today is making more!! Have an awesome Friday...💜

Edith Holden books and pages are phenomenal. The poppies remind me of my mothers garden where the poppies bloomed in front of a limestone wall. I always looked forward to their blooming season.

Thanks Gayle : ) I want to find some Edith Holden ! Blessings

Beautiful work Gayle!

Great video today. Have a good day!

Ummmm...hi, Gayle. I don't want to alarm you, but I'm hoping your outside yard bunny wasn't looking through your basement window when you were cutting those bags at the end. I mean, if you go out and see him running away just a bit faster than usual, then I suspect maybe he did. 🐰 Just sayin'... So, because I know how much you love your yard bunny, I wanted to suggest that maybe next time, if you think you will be chopping several bunnies in half, you might want to close the window curtains so it doesn't traumatize your cute little yard bunny. 🐇 😉 😜 😂 Remember, Gayle, I'm half Goofy Newfy! 🤪 🤣 I love Edith Holden and other artists who exemplify her. Such talent! That was such a thoughtful gift from Ceri. So glad to see you using some of it for your next journals. They are going to be lovely for sure with EH items in them. Looking forward to those upcoming videos. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs! God Bless! Sue ❤

Ceri is a good friend! What an amazing gift! Some creative ideas for pockets and tucks! And one can never go wrong with Edith Holden! TFS!

What lovely pockets. I keep looking at my thrift stores but still have not found any Edith Holden.😞. But I do have a botanical book so I will try with that. Nice ideas, Ceri. Thanks for an interesting, fun, and relaxing video today! These days I need videos like this. I have been having a hard time being motivated to craft much since my surgery. But this has been a very great to give me ideas and get me motivated. Love to you my friend.

Hi Gayle! I just got back from a 10 day vacation, visiting with a friend so no time to watch any KZread videos. So I am now binge-watching Gayle videos and I love it! The idea that struck me with this video was: the top parts that you cut off the bunny bags, could you not fold them down to make new pouches with new bottoms? Looking at the original bottom of the bunny bag it doesn't seem too difficult to copy, this way you'd get 2 pouches out of 1 bag🙂 Hugs from Germany🥰 Danielle

Gayle, I think the next generation looking for Edith Holden books will either need to shop overseas and/or buy the coloring book and color the images themselves!

I think I have watched that video 5x... easy! Cry every time! OMG went to my local thrift store, made a bee line to the craft area and found 21 TIM HOLTZ ink and oxide pads. $1.59 ea. All work. My sister bought half I bought the other half. I had zero colors and 4 browns. Now I have a rainbow of colors! Can't wait to use them!

I found two in op shops for $2 each. Online I have seen them for sale up to $100 and local second hand book stores they sell for around $20.00. They are becoming harder to find now here in new Zealand.

I don't blame you. I'd have to keep one intact and look for another one to craft with. I've been collecting old books for years (before I knew about journal making) and now they are in style. I can sacrifice some of the vintage books but I've come to realize that others just need to stay as they are. Both are o.k. by me.

When life gives you bunnies….make hasenpfeffer! I own three Edith Holden books; two were purchased at a used book store and one at an estate sale. All three were purchased for the sole purpose of using them in Junk Journals. That was several years ago and none of them have been touched. I just can’t bring myself to cut them up. I think we need to start an Edith Holden Junk Journalists Intervention group as a subsidiary of your “Subbies.” How do you do it, Gayle?
