Doing something a little different today, a video blog post.
Sorry about the lighting I need to work on that.
No editing here at all,notice I forgot to take my readers off the top of my head….oh well.
By the way…..great shot of the freeze frame….
Okay here we go are you ready?
This took a little longer than I thought it would.
I hope it gets easier because I would like to do this more often.
Not every week but I would like to share tutorial videos and answer questions on this platform.
Do I really have an accent?Everyone tells me I have a Midwestern accent.
Joining:
No questions, but, you did a fabulous job, Anne. Oh yes, we’ve talked about the misconception about how bloggers keep their houses perfect. I’m staring at a hot mess right now. LOL
Thanks Rosemary!Yep if I panned the camera over to my kitchen you would have seen dishes in the sink, and a messy desk.
Oh, aren’t you cute. I get asked how I do it all, too. It’s so funny. I want to tell them that just because I shared a two projects in one week doesn’t mean I just did them. Some things I share were done weeks ago even months. My house certainly doesn’t look like it does in pics all the time. Surely our readers realize we aren’t perfect.
Thank you Kim!NO big projects around here for awhile,time to enjoy summer break soon 🙂
What a great video Anne! If someone was to walk into my house right now they would have to step over all the dogs toys that are everywhere…LOL! Enjoy your evening, Gail
Thanks Gail! Ha it’s so true isn’t it,no one has a perfect home especially bloggers.
I loved this video! I think you are so sweet and nice! I wish you lived next door to me because I would love to get together with you! You are truly a genuine person. Where do you buy your jewelry I have noticed at different times a necklace or some other piece that you have worn. I love your house and blog and am looking forward to more videos because I don’t always have time to read everything and this is nice! Thank you!
I wish we lived close too Melanie we have allot in common.Thank you so much for your sweet comments.
Great job on your first video! Cute, cute shirt and pretty necklace. And no, I don’t think you have an accent … but I live near you so what do I know? 😉
Ha! Thanks Jennifer…nope don’t think you have an accent either.
Hello Anne,
Enjoyed your first video…what an awesome idea. Hey…I think all of us are in the same boat when it comes to perfect homes…you should see the mess I have in mine tonight. After I help do some decorating at our church tomorrow, I’m going to tackle my cottage, wish me luck.
Blessings,
Linda
Thanks Linda <3
great job, anne! i hear a slight accent and i’m from the midwest! haha! now, i wonder if i have one…
Thanks Lynn…..ha! I am always told I have an accent but of course I don’t think I do 😉
Nicely done! I love the door as a backdrop. Hope to see more in the future!
Thank you Melissa!
Anne, great idea doing a video. It gives a blog a whole different dimension and I think you will connect on a more personal level.
Thank you Mary! I guess it just shows that I type just how I speak 🙂
Hey Anne. I love listening to you. I think I would love to meet you in person. You did a great job and I wouldn’t even care if your house was clean or not..Keep up the good work..Happy Wednesday..Judy
You are so sweet Judy!
Enjoyed your video. You did a great job and I am sure it will get easier as you do it more often. I used to keep my house perfect–clean, straight, kids bathed, fed, everything in order. Then, one day I said, I have more important things I want to do with my life. Who cares if the bed isn’t perfect, if everything doesn’t get put away, etc. My boys have their own lives now. I am working part time in an antique mall (after having my own antique shop and tea house), have several booths in three malls, am painting furniture for others and for sale, helping with grandsons, playing cards, lunching with the girls, taking care of my husband and enjoying all of it. My house can wait. Life is too short. Didn’t mean to get on my soapbox, but just want you young folks to realize that there is more to life than worrying about the dirty dishes, dirty floors and dust. Just clean enough to be healthy.
Yep I agree Joan,I keep a tidy house but I don’t go overboard.Life is too short you have to get out and enjoy it too 🙂
Great first video, Anne! No question today, just wanted to let you know I love the video idea. Have a great weekend!
Jeanette
Thanks so much Jeanette…you too!
Anne….Aren’t you cute?! I have some video in the works but I am so camera shy. 🙂 I hate writing tutorials but talking while doing would be much more informative but I need a camera man.
Thank you Holly,just go for it.I was shy as a child but have long outgrown that can ya tell LOL!
Loved your video, Anne. Like you, I am picky and love for my house to be all neat and tidy but I want people to feel comfortable and at home ~ I don’t mind if things get messy. Thanks for the info on the paint, I’ll have to check it out ~ paint has gotten to be really expensive! Keep the videos coming!
Thank you JoAnne more coming soon 🙂
That’s an exceptional video to be your first one! Great job, great info, it’s all good!
Thanks so much Kim!
You are precious!!! I’m so glad to see you in sorta real life! Just makes me love you more!!!!
Thank you Yvonne!You are so cute….well I hope we meet up in person some day 🙂
Hi Anne, loved your personal post today. It was nice to get to know you in a different way. Yes, I do think you have a accent. Love it! Could you take the time to check out my new blog Anne’s Attic – Design. http://wp.me/4gnLC . Let me know what you think and what I need to work on. A new camera would help but that will come in time.
Have a LOVERLY evening.
XX Jo
Thank you Joanne!Just be yourself that is what I do.You can go back and look at my earlier posts and you will see that my photos have come a long way.It’s not the camera but the photographer.Just keep practicing 🙂
