I am so unbelievably excited – I did have a little bit of a play, but can’t wait to get seriously playing with it.
Chance might be a fine thing this weekend though, as we have birthday pressie shopping for Toodles and Mother in Law in the morning. Need to get back by 1 pm as Toodles has two friends for a sleepover, and then the parents in law will be arriving later on for High Tea. Plus, I have orders coming out of my ears, and blog candy and challenge stuff to get off.
The only chance I may have is when the girls are sparko on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, one of the girls has to leave Sunday lunchtime for rehearsals, but Toodles, her other friend and I are off to see Avatar.
The poor old Rubbah Elf will be left behind to get on with decorating our en suite ….. we finally, got the shower installed – we’ve only been without the en suite since July, but it feels like a life time. New shower is working, but we’ve been told that it is all strictly off limits til RE has fully decorated and the new flooring is installed …. could be without it ’til this July!!!
Just uploaded a quick vid on UStream, unfortunately PC upstairs has gone wrong and UStream is not co-operating with youtube, so I can’t upload it on there.
I seem to have missed the New Year coming in, and slept through the whole thing – LOL! We stayed in, and I was lulled off to sleep by Jurassic Park III (only because Toodles has watched it so many times) and woke up in the wee small hours.
Just to let you all know that the Toodles and Binks “I Want It All” draw will be done live this evening at 8.00 pm GMT over at UStream …. please pop over and have a giggle, and find out which lucky person that has taken part over on the Toodles and Binks Blog has won all the stamps plus a whole lot more….plus watch me be my usual mad self.
Plus get in first with comments on their blog, as the competition will be running again this year, and it can only get biggger as we release new stamps. We will also be doing a once a month drawing for lovely people that comment on our UStream or YouTube channels, when you could win a T&B stamp.
I managed to get a quick video tutorial done this evening over on UStream (can’t upload to YouTube at the moment as they are doing maintenace work on the transfer facility).
Call me fickle, but I am getting a bit annoyed that I can’t seem to upload video on wordpress, and now that blogger seems to have resolved the annoying paragraph issue, I am thinking I might defect back to my blogger blog …. I will sleep on it for a bit though.
Earlier today I streamed live from the kitchen table on UStream, and made a library pocket.
As I had really told very few people I was planning to do it (in case I messed up – which I did quite a few times!) I decided I would record a tutorial for it tomorrow morning, and then do a live stream at 5 pm tomorrow again live from the kitchen table.
You can find the link etc. in the post below, but here’s a quick intro.
All you need to do is register log onto Ustream.com and search for “toodlesandbinks” and then watch away live, you can become a follower and I will schedule other live from the kitchen table streams over the coming weeks…..you’ll have to bear with me whilst I get the hang of operating the software, camera and talk and co-ordinate my usually non co-ordinated person around the whole thing….. still it should be a laugh and you could chat to me as well (if for no other reason than to laugh at me running in ever decreasing circles trying to cope with it all!!!
I am just about to pop into my workshop to collect some bits and bobs and will then hopefully Ustream live at about 5.00 pm for half an hour or so if you’d like to join me at the Kitchen Table.
I hope that Santa brought you lots of lovely goodies…. I know that I got such a lovey pile of crafting goodies – plus my Logitech Webcam for me videos in the coming year. So much easier to show you all in an ad hoc fashion what I am up to than trying to remember to photograph/or not as the case may be, with all the pfaffing around that that takes.
I am going to try and do a quick haul from this morning as soon as the Rubbah Techno Elf has loaded up the software for me.
Don’t forget that the I Want It All Draw will take place over at Toodles and Binks Blog on 31st December when one lucky person that has commented/taken part in blog candy drawings in 2009 will win all of the current Toodles and Binks Stamps, plus Zoomz, Embossing Powder, some Buck Naked Chipboard and ribbons to kick start their 2010 crafting. So if you haven’t left a comment make sure that you leave one before end of 31st December 2009 to get added into the draw. Why not become a follower over their as well, because there is some really good stuff coming in 2010.
just a quick video of the mini journal I made for a friend the other day – filmed in a hurry so the light quality isn’t great – but enjoy and hopefully I will be back with other “vids” very soon. Fingers crossed Santa is bringing me a web cam for Christmas.
The video editor (aka Toodles herself) is off enjoying herself in London Town … and just called to let me know that mos of the trains are cancelled and they are not sure when they will all get back …. worried ????????? you bet I am, but they are in a group!!!!!
