Cutest little box!

It’s been a busy week and I think it’s only going to get busier till Christmas. This is my favourite time of year and there’s so much I want to do, I’m just not sure when it’ll all get done. I may have to take a few days off work to catch up on all the stuff I need/want to do. Ben’s first birthday party this past weekend went really well. I think everyone enjoyed their time — I know I did. It was so nice seeing everyone and catching up with those we hadn’t seen in a while.

I’m so excited about the Halloween Scrapbooking workshops coming up this week!!! I hope you’re all coming to one…

Oh my goodness, I almost forgot to tell you about the HUGE SALE happening this week. Stampin’ Up! is having a 30% to 50% off sale on selected items. Check out the website at www.stampinup.ca and email me your orders…there’s about 4 or 5 bundles that I have my eye on. Remember you can still win the “More the Merrier” hostess level 3 stamp set. For every $50 you spend you’ll be entered to win.  The draw will be on December 1st so make sure to get your orders in by November 30th. I’m totally excited about my first draw!

Alright, now to the video. Today’s video is another box that one of the girls at the workshop I did this weekend fell in love with…and who won’t really, it’s SOOO cute!!! Let me know what you think.

Triangle Box Video

This video was requested by a friend who came to one of my workshops and really liked this box. She couldn’t remember how to make it, so hopefully this video will help refresh her memory! Things have been pretty quiet around here. The kids got their H1N1 flu shots on Thursday, but it caused them both a fever for most of the weekend. So much for all our plans. It turned out OK though, it was so nice hanging out at home with the kids…my daughter and I made Christmas boxes, baked muffins and watched endless hours of Dora and Diego (Thank God for Treehouse on Demand). Anyway, enjoy the video and please leave a comment.

Simple Snow Swirled Card

WOW…I’m liking this video thing.  I made this card because a friend of mine wants to make it for her Christmas cards this year but I think she just doesn’t know where to start. I’m hoping that this video will get her started on the right track.

Well, the last 24 hours have just been an emotional roller-coaster. Our baby, whose almost one years old, tumbled down a full flight of stairs yesterday…it was the scariest day of my life.  I believe that God sent his angles to protect my little boy yesterday, they carried him down those stairs for sure. We took him to emergency because he was so dazed and wasn’t responsive but by the time the doctor saw him, he was back to normal. We just have to watch him very closely. All I can say is, Thank God he’s ok and that he’s still with me today.

Anyway, back to the card. I hope you enjoy watching the video and remember please leave me a comment.

My first VIDEO!!!

Well, I’ve finally been able to finish editing my first video. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start. It has been a very frustrating but rewarding experience. I learned how to use video editing software that I’ve never used before and I’m learning new techniques every time I “re-edit” the video. I had my computer crash on me when I was almost done … and of course I hadn’t saved my work (bad, very bad). I also lost my first narration attempt. I’m not sure where it went so I had to re-record the whole thing at least 3 times. Anyway, watch the video and please leave me a comment with your thoughts on the video and the card.
