Faith Journal ~

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends,

I’ll be attending an upcoming Women’s Faith Conference next month and I decided to make a personalized Faith journal where I can take notes.

I think it turned out really cute, I simply covered a composition notebook that I got at Walmart.

If you have any questions just let me know otherwise have a terrific weekend.

Hugs,

Gale 😄

Happy Hearts & Hugs Thank You Card ~

Happy Thursday Crafty Friends,

I wanted to share a cute thank you card I made for friend. Nothing cuter than sweet little critters to put a smile on everyone’s face!

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, have you started working on yours yet?

I just got done re-organizing my craft room so I love getting back in here and enjoying my day paper crafting. Let me know if you’d like to see photos of my new set up.

Have a delightful day,

Personalized Gift Idea ~

Greetings Crafty Friends,

Long time no see, lol … As the start of 2025 has begun, I thought I would jump back into sharing my crafty projects with you.

Today I created this darling personalized journal for our son’s girlfriend Kelcie as part of her birthday gift. I love anything monogrammed or personalized with my name on it don’t you?

Keep your eye out for new YouTube videos to come as well. Lots has been going on in Gale’s crafty world starting with reorganizing and re-doing my craft room last week. What a big job but so worth it.I love creating in my happy place!

Hoping you are well and looking forward to getting crafty together ~

Hugs,

Happy Scrappin’ ~ Hey there crafty friends, I am having a super scrappy day and I L♥️VE it! Are you a scrapbooker a card maker or both? My paper loving addiction started with scrapbooking over 30 years ago. It’s so wonderful to sit down with a chunky family album and relive all the precious memories. Today’s layouts are bitter sweet as I am working on pages of our kitty Patches who passed 4 years ago. It really is heartwarming to see his beautiful face and remember all the sweet, cuddly times together. Makes my momma heart happy ~

Happy Hugs, 

Shake, shake, shake -

In my Happy 😃 Place making bookmarks 🔖 for all the ladies, 24 of them in a new book 📕 club I inadvertently started - lol. I simply asked on our subdivision page if there was one and the answer was “no” and the gals went wild.

So the first meeting is tomorrow night here at our house and if you want to read along with us, I’ll post a picture of the book we will be reading for the month.

Ladybug 🐞 Gift Set

There is just something about ladybugs 🐞 that just makes me happy! 

I created this journal, pack of matching cards, nail file holder and included a super cute set of ladybug nails 💅 strips. 

An old friend from high school lost 😞 her husband in a terrible motorcycle accident and I just felt I needed to make something happy for her. 

Hopefully it will lift her spirits a little bit because making these things is always from the heart. ❤️

What does this crafty gal do when we have a 20+ hour drive ahead from Orlando back to Chicago??? She stamps! Yep - I brought a book 📖 I am reading and some other things but putting together my Paper Pumpkin Kits is just the ticket to keep me happy and busy even in traffic. 

What do you do on long car trips? Napping 😴 is also right up my alley - lol 😆.

Big Hugs,
