 Morning everybody. So we're getting ready to go out for a drive to the coast and I was just standing here minding my business and her rustling in the background and the young buck who's been coming to eat. I just scared him away. I'll be back as soon as we leave though I'm sure. Anyway we're gonna go for a drive come on with us. The McMinnamins. Link in the description below. It's one of the cute McMinnamins locations I think. It's adjacent to a golf course and they have a hotel there and everything. I had a smoked salmon Caesar salad. It was pretty good. And you had a Screamin' Normans. Screamin' Normans BLT. BLT. Sandwich. A French roll with Canadian ham, avocado, lettuce and tomato and some sriracha. He liked it so anyway. And it was at the Sandtrap. The Sandtrap McMinnamins Sandtrap. Anyway so we are headed north now towards Astoria. I didn't find it interesting on our way out. They had a bunch of free you know touristy like maps and pamphlets and stuff and these hardcover books. Right? So of course I picked one up. I'll look at it later but anyway. Alright we're gonna see what else we can get up to and we'll be back. My picture again. Holy cow. Good morning everyone. It is Monday morning July 29th according to the computer. 10 23 a.m. What would I do with the computer or calendars or something? Because I like never know what day and time it is. I don't know. Anyway I am getting ready here to there we go. To do some filming. I've got the tripod and boom up. Gonna be attaching the camera and I'm working on August commitment. I am going to be filming my process for my color inspiration journal which I've been showing on social media lately. Which so they'll be a little tutorial for that and it's discussion about that in August. So watch for that. I also need to film explorations of me, the design team challenge for August and a couple of Hopper challenge other challenge videos. So yeah. I may not get them all done today but I'm gonna get as many as I can done before lunch and then yeah we'll see how it goes. I'll be back. Okay hey guys it's 2 23 still Monday. I got six videos I think filmed. Did I film them well? You know one only wonders. I don't know. If I did a good job editing won't be a problem. If I did a crappy job editing is gonna be challenging. So you know we'll just have to wait and see. Someday maybe I'll have a cameraman. I don't know. Anyway I have two more videos to film for August or well just for coming up videos. I don't know if they'll get scheduled in August or not maybe. But I have two more to film. I need parts for one of them and I need to mail an Etsy order and I need my sunglasses. It is bright out here. Holy cow. Okay so I need some parts for one of them because I don't I was pulling everything to the table and I looked at all the bits and went oh wait I'm missing some stuff. So and I know I need some more polyfill stuffing. I want to make some more of the little teddy bears I've been made. I've made two of them. I'll put the picture here somewhere. I want to make a few more. I'm gonna make one or two every now and then and then when I have I don't know a dozen or so of them I'll find somewhere to donate them to children's charity or Shriner Children's Hospital or something like that you know. If you guys have a good suggestion let me know. Especially something in the Portland area that I could drive them to. Okay so anyway first we're gonna go pick up some stuff. I mean mail the Etsy order. Holy cow. Then we're gonna go to Joanne's and pick up some stuff and then we're gonna come back and maybe film one more video. I don't know we'll see. Alright that's it for the moment. I'll be back. Alright guys PO Box is empty. I swear I could go like a whole month and there's nothing in it. I really only have it for business and happy mail but I don't get mail there anyway. It's really just because I don't want y'all having my home address. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. Alright we're gonna head to Joanne's now and I'll be back. It is Tuesday, June hello. I'm in front of the computer. I still get it wrong. July 30th. It is 1.35 p.m. I have been spending I spent the morning finishing in a video for YouTube for you all. I try to keep regular business hours you know 9 to 5 ish and so that usually means I'm up here by 9 a.m. if not a little earlier to start answering social media doing daily postings if I need to film or edit working on that whatever it is I'm working on. So today was no different. I came up here I think just before 8 o'clock. I'm sorry just before 9 o'clock and I started working on the spam call you know. Anyway I was working on the rest of the video that I had started last night and which was way more involved than I thought it was gonna be but it turned out really cute and so I hope you all like it. It's gonna be a fun video for fall and here's a hint if those of you who are doing arts and craft shows you might want to watch the video because it's a good product to make and have at the show. So yeah I do think I have a few other videos already on my channel of different things here and there that I used to make for shows. If I haven't there's a few other like good sellers that I used to do that I'll try to film something on but I'm gonna look and see if I can make a playlist first. I don't know don't hold me to it anytime soon but I will try to work on it in the next week or two. I think that's it for the moment. I am air dropping some footage to the computer and I'm gonna get ready to start some editing. First I'm gonna break for lunch. I'll be also say I was a filming maniac most of yesterday and obviously half of today I hope what I filmed some of it made some sense and I wasn't just babbling. I'll try to cut out the babbling and evidently my music's been annoying some people so that's a thing. I'll see what I can do. The music's free from YouTube so I don't know. We'll see. I'll be back. Lunch is consumed. Got some sparkling water. This is by Spindrift and it's lemon and tea flavored sparkling water. Nobody else in the house likes it but me but you know it's a nice change from just plain old tap water or tap water with a little bit of lemon juice in it. You know I really only drink water so gotta switch it up somehow. Anyway time to go back upstairs and start the video editing process crap. Good morning. It is Tuesday morning. I almost no I take that back. It's Wednesday morning. Holy cow. I don't even know what day of the week it is. Hang on. Say I wasn't so sure after I did all the filming on Monday if anything I filmed made any sense or if I was just babbling incoherently on camera because that's the kind of like filming session I had. They don't usually go like that but this one definitely did so when I was editing yesterday I was pleasantly surprised that I actually sounded like I knew what I was talking about. Well you know that's a thing. He would still be there so I could get a picture because of course I didn't have my phone with me. The rare occasion for that to happen. I was just going to go get the mail and I heard animal noises from the storm drain which is weird. I looked down and there was a raccoon in the storm drain. Okay. Anyway hello everybody it's Thursday August first it's just after 1 30 p.m. I got a bunch of work and stuff done this morning. The charity auctions up and running and I got to go back to the store now for stuff I forgot yesterday so anyway let's go I'll be back.
