 Good morning, it's Sunday morning. Technically it's still morning, it's 10.52. August 25th, we are headed to Habitat for Humanities Restore to drop off some donations, maybe do a little shopping. Then we're headed home to spend the rest of the afternoon dog sitting for the kids. Cause that's a thing, evidently. They're worried, we're good for it right now. What are you gonna do? It is what it is. Yeah, all right, we'll be back. We are out for our evening walk with Lily, cause we're puppy sitting again, trying to keep her from eating every single blade of grass she comes across. Cause when she does, she throws up. So you know, it's a challenge. Anyway, I'll be back. It is Monday morning, August 26th I think. Headed out to run a few errands. It's 10, 10 a.m., it's a little later than I wanted. But I did get a bunch of social media stuff done. I had an Etsy order come in this morning, which is the main reason I'm late. I was packing that up for shipment. So I can do that while I'm out because I have to go to the PO box anyway. So I might as well mail the Etsy order. I got an interesting fishing email in my business email box this morning. I do get them periodically. They're pretty funny. They're the ones demanding Bitcoin or they're gonna release X-rated pictures and or information on you to the world. And first of all, good luck finding it. And second of all, go ahead, make my shit go viral. Seriously people. The thing I have, the problem I have with it is Yahoo doesn't have a great way to report these kinds of emails. I mean, yes, you can put them to spam or trash. There's no easy way to figure out how to block them. Practically it doesn't wanna go down. Anyway, so I had to deal with that this morning. So I finally got it reported, but it was a pain in the neck. I just accidentally took my picture again. Holy cow. It's Tuesday. I think it's still morning. It might not be, wait. No, it's not, it's 12, 16. I spent the morning, of course, doing the standard social media thing, catching up on YouTube comments and stuff like that. And then I filmed five videos, five videos on the list of videos I have to film, two of which were for September. And I got a NetZee order, which I was hoping I could squeeze into the box outside, but it's not gonna fit. I am just taking the wallet and the keys because I don't wanna be out that long. I wasn't planning on leaving at all today. I don't have any of my jewelry on or anything. Grungy stay at home, painting clothes on. But I wanna get this order out, so we'll go get it done. And then we'll be back and have some lunch and then keep going. I know, small world problems, right? All right, I'll be back. Driving my car with no hands on the wheel because I'm lighting a cigarette. And one part of the world is that a good idea. Nowhere, just hanging. Hey guys, it is Wednesday, early evening. I don't think I vlog yet today. Holy cow, it is Wednesday, August, I almost said April. Holy cow, 29th, I think, I think it's the 29th. I could be wrong. Let's be honest, I'm often wrong. Hold on, see I was wrong. I looked at the calendar, it's only the 28th. Yeah, anyway, it's Wednesday that I know. It's 521 PM and I just have been filming all day. Filming all day, I'm getting things done for the rest of 2019 commitments here for YouTube. And I have five videos left to go out of. Out of, let's see, 26, yes, I said 26. And those are the commitment videos. Now I usually bring you two to three videos a week, every week, that doesn't mean there won't be those videos if I'm so inspired, but these are commitment videos and collaboration videos. So the others can come as the inspiration strikes. I just got the mail and I got something from Wish. They come in these little plastic envelopes and I do try to reuse these and save them no matter the size and package Etsy store stuff in them. And I got a pin, let's see if I can hold it up. For one of my mini delphonic bags. It's cute, right? Reminds me of Oregon, which is where I live. So I'm gonna put it on my small delphonics bag where I keep my watercoloring stuff. I need to finish my eyeball journal. So that may be a video that you all see coming up on the channel that's not a commitment video because I really wanna finish the eyeball journal and I wanna start on lips. So, but I need to get the commitments out of the way first and get those done. The goal is to film as many as I can up until today and then I'm gonna start editing starting tomorrow and get the ones that need to post first, of course, edited first and then film the rest of them next week and over the weekend get everything edited. So, and everything's scheduled and loaded to YouTube and all that jazz by like the 10th of September, something like that, so we'll see how far I get. I think that's it for the moment. I am going to go sit down downstairs and try to figure out what we're gonna have for dinner, have some water, cause I'm really thirsty and I'm done up here. I've already turned the computer off and everything for the day. So, yeah, we're all good. All right, I'll be back. So I didn't go walking last night cause it was gross out. It's a little bit more gross tonight but we're going walking anyway. We'll see how far I get. I'll be back. Good morning, everyone. It is Thursday morning, August 29th, 8.54 a.m. Don't get all excited. Hello, computer. I'm trying to get my posts done this morning that I normally do. I need to go out and run a couple of errands and then I'm getting the white roots covered up and I need to go to the grocery store and all of that stuff. I have five more videos to film before I'm done for the year and I am going to stop and take a breath before I film them and I'm gonna start the editing process cause now I've got lots of clips to edit and at least one of the videos needs to go up on September 1st which is I think maybe Sunday, maybe? Is it Sunday or Monday? Oh, I think it's Sunday. So I wanna get that one done first and get that edited, the design team challenge videos which are usually short and usually involve me talking and maybe introducing new products. So I need to do that first today. What else? So I periodically on my social media, well, Facebook in particular, post Blurb that says please don't send me any internet chain mail and in messages or anything don't send me any attachments that my personal page isn't the place to go ranting about politics or religion or anything like that and inevitably every time I posted it it offends somebody and they unfriend me or somebody doesn't listen and then I have to unfriend them. It's the way of social media. Most of the time these people I'm related to by blood I have to say. So there's that. One of those people last night did that. I think she was a YouTube fan but she got very offended and she left. I've left her comment up on the post for the moment but I do think I'm gonna delete it because my page isn't about that and I'm sorry if anyone's offended by the post because it's not about offending you in turn it's about just keeping my social media a safe, fun place. I rarely post anything political or religious rarely and when I do it's short and sweet usually a meme and it's not a rant but it's very, very rare and I don't really allow people to do that either in my art groups or on my personal page. I will silence them or remove them from my news feed. I'm not out about that and I'm sorry if it offends anybody I don't intend to do that but that's not what social media is about for me. So yeah, I felt the need to say that this morning. I'm gonna get my post done and probably delete that comment and check a couple things and then I better hit the road, I'll be back. Okay, social media is done and I'm going to go downstairs and put some shoes on and stuff and we're gonna go run some errands before we go to the hairdresser. I've gotta go mail off the Etsy orders and I wanna go buy craft warehouse before the hair appointment and then afterwards I've gotta go to the grocery store which reminds me I need the list or you know I'll forget something important. All right, I'll be back. Okay, I just got done editing the fifth video out of 21 videos I need to edit and it's rendering right now saving. I wanna try to do the for my muse videos for my creative year for the rest of this year. See if I can get those edited really quick before dinner and then get everything loaded to YouTube tonight, that would be nice. I don't know if that's gonna happen. We're gonna shoot for that. In the meantime, I need to go out into my driveway and pick up pine cones. I live in the Pacific Northwest. It's a thing. I'll bring you with me and show you. Between the few branches I picked up in the pine cones the box is almost full. I could do this once a week. And if it's been windy or stormy, yeah, it's a thing. All right, I'll be back. Good morning. It's Friday morning, August 30th, 10.32 a.m. or something like that. Don't get excited. I checked the phone before I hit the camera icon. My husband is home for four days. Work basically told him, dude, you need to take time off because you don't have any more PTO. You can accrue. So take some time off. So he's home today and Monday. And there's a hobo spider, a little baby Steve. I'm not gonna get too close. So he's been forced to take some time off and we're gonna go use the opportunity to run a few errands we've been putting off. We need a couple pieces of furniture. We need to go buy some kind of floor steamer cleaner thing to clean the tile floors and get in the grout. And so yeah, so we're gonna go do all that stuff. Anyway, I'll bring you with us where I can. I'll be back. So we bought a gadget to clean the tile floors because they have needed it since we moved in. And wow, we bought a Hoover. It's a Hoover one power cordless. It's meant for shampooing carpets and hardwood or tile floors. And this house has really needed it. So since before we bought it. So anyway, we're gonna get clean in so we can have dinner. I would say good morning, but it's afternoon. It is, I don't know what time it is, let's see. 227 p.m. Saturday, August 31st, last day of the month. I've been editing video again. You can see that rendering in the background. And in between videos making paper clips so I didn't make one yesterday. So I needed to do that and then one for today and then tomorrow we're going hiking and Monday we're spending with the kids so I don't know how much time I'm gonna have to craft or art. So I did four paper clips, so I'm good until Tuesday. And I wasn't sure where they were gonna go today and one of them I've remade a couple of times but I do like them now. So I have this one, this one, super cute. That one's my favorite. This one and then one more, this one. So they're just gonna finish drying here on the table and I'm gonna let that go. You can hear the laundry going in the background maybe and you can hear my husband slamming cabinets. He's making himself some lunch. He changed the oil in the car. We're just really kind of spending the day at home today. We spent most of yesterday out shopping for some things that we've needed for the house since we bought it including a bar cabinet and table and chairs and stuff like that. So anyway, and you saw that we cleaned the tile which we still need to go over the kitchen area a couple more times but it's doing a good job. So the water as you saw was really gross. I'll edit some of it out. I don't wanna gross y'all out. So anyway, trying to get all of these videos edited and loaded sometime today tonight and then Tuesday I'm gonna finish filming the rest of the year so that's the plan anyway. We'll see how far I get. I don't know. All right, that's it for the moment. I'll be back. That's Fred for you. So we're headed out for our evening walk. We haven't walked in a couple of days because it's been too hot to be honest. And mostly I talked him out of it because I don't like walking when it's hot. It's my fault. But today we're going out walking anyways. You don't even breeze out. Yeah. So anyway, it's the end of the week. It's Saturday. We're gonna go for a hike tomorrow but that's for next week's vlog. And yeah, we're gonna go to Mount Hood. So we'll take some footage of where we can and bring you with us when we can. We're going with the kids and Lily so that ought to be interesting. And yeah, we hope you all have had a good week. Any links that I've mentioned will be in the description below along with the link to find me on my social media and my Etsy store, happy mail address, all that jazz. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, leave them in the comments below the video and I think that's it right now. Don't forget to go out and have a great day. Do something nice for yourself. Maybe go for a walk, get some fresh air, spend some time with the family. That's it. See you later. Bye guys.
