Trying Something New: Video!

With much fear and trepidation, I’ve decided to try my hand at venturing into the world of creating videos for YouTube which I can incorporate into my blog. Given I generally hate the sound of my own voice (don’t most of us?!), this is a major step for me.

What prompted me to do this? After writing out all those lengthy directions in my recent box card post, I’ve come to realize that recording process videos to incorporate with some my posts will help my readers actually see what I’m doing rather than just having to rely on still photos and my written words.

With all that said, here’s my first “official” video for my blog. I decided to start off easy by recording a quick mini haul video to show off a few things I got in the mail yesterday from Simon Says Stamp and HSN. I hope you enjoy it! If so, please click over to my YouTube channel and give me a thumbs up on my video and subscribe to my channel. Thanks!

Speaking of HSN, they will be having quite a few craft deals happening on Tuesday, September 8. In looking at the schedule, Anna Griffin is slated to make a few appearances and has been giving some product sneak peeks on her blog. There will also be a full hour show featuring the Brother ScanNCut which is an incredibly popular machine in the stamping and card making world right now. Given I have both a Cricut Explore and Silhouette Cameo sitting in my craft area right now, I definitely won’t be partaking in that offering. LOL For anyone who might be interested though, Ebates is currently offering a 6% rebate on HSN purchases which is an awesome deal because it used to only be 3%! If you aren’t already an Ebates customer, feel free to sign up using my referral link and take advantage of the great rebate opportunity plus some awesome coupons ($15 off any $75+ order) HSN is offering Ebates customers right now, too.

Until next time …
