Vloggin' Vednesday

Filed Under: Family

This is my first week joining up with Vloggin’ Vednesday. I am so excited to participating this week. I shot this with my D7000. I could not figure out how to get it to focus on me since I had to push the button before sitting down. It is focused on the chair. Anyone know how to fix that? Let me know. Thanks!

This may or may not have taken 10 times to shoot. First Dustyn was outside and banging on the door. Then he messed with the tripod. Then Carsyn woke up. Then he kept spitting up. It was a long process and took forever to upload on youtube. I had to let it go overnight. I have to find a way to compress the video.

Click the button below to join in, link up and check out some other vlogs..

Here is a video of Dustyn I found when I was uploaded my vlog. He was almost a year old. He has always loved riding. Love his little wave.

    Aw, I love your voice. Mine's baaaaad. A little too southern, in my opinion. Anyway, I love the fact that you are so calm and collected...and to the point. Mine go on for days. Ha! I still think it's nerves. Carsyn is a doll baby. You did great!

    I'm so glad no one could see how much my pits were sweating during my first taping. Thank God that doesn't happen when typing my posts. :) You did a great job, and I'm thinking of you. :) Also, I love how Dustyn called out for your during your video. Too cute!

    There's nothing wrong with your voice! :D It's fun to hear you. Loved watching Carsyn, too. Makes me miss the baby stage. :) Dustyn is so adorable on that train!! His cheeks. Woman, your boys have THE BEST cheeks ever!! :D

    I seriously look forward to seeing everyone's Vlogs! Maybe someday I will participate. If I could figure it all out myself! I think your first Vlog was great! Your house looks awesoma, your boy is darling and your voice sounded just fine to me! :)

    March 16, 2011 at 9:00 am

    Good job! I can't tell at all that you are nervous. You are so brave. The thought of vlogging scares the crap out of me! I sound like the biggest hillbilly hick on video.

    oh my goodness the train video is so cute and his little wave;0. Looks a lot like carsyn to me! Your first vlog was great! I don't know how to work the focus mechanism either. You'll have to let us all know when you figure it out;0.

    March 16, 2011 at 7:59 am

    I love this vlogging stuff! I'd do it, but I'd have to put makeup on and I'm just not feelin' that right now. ;) Good seeing you!

    March 16, 2011 at 8:43 am

    I think you did a great job with your first vlog. I got a prop to sit in for me as a focal point before I jumped into the frame. You just have to find something that would be about the same height - use manual focus and then take down your prop before you hit record...at least that's how I did it. Great job!
  20. Sheri says

    March 16, 2011 at 8:26 am

    These vlogs are all so cute (AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR VOICE! (Now I am questioning whether or not you said you didnt like your voice)). Anyway, glad to hear ya! I'd do it but I'd be the grandmother of the group. Time to grow up Sheri...sigh.

    Great job. Carsyn is so cute. Your voice sounds fine. I think everyone hates their voice (I sound like a valley girl).

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
