MINI-ALBUM TUTORIAL #2 UPLOADING AT THIS MOMENT.

For those of you who have wondered what happened to the Tutorials I was supposed to be videoing, well, I have done two more - episodes # 2 and #3.  It's just that it takes FOREVER for my computer to upload them to You Tube!  I have to sit right in the room to keep the computer from going to sleep in the middle of the upload.  When the screensaver starts up, it slows things down a lot.  Is it supposed to take hrs. for a video to upload?  There must be an easier way to do this!!  Maybe I need a new camera (Ah!! There's a fun thought.  HSN here I come).  Does anyone have any suggestions about video hosting for You Tube?  Is Photobucket any faster?  If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

ALL PREPARATIONS ARE IN ORDER. BRING ON CHRISTMAS!

I have completed all my shopping, and most of my wrapping (at least the hard stuff), so I am ready for Christmas.  The last mini-album I made turned out gorgeous, and I got them both mailed off to the recipients.  Our oldest grandson is here this week "helping" us to get ready to go to his family's house for Christmas.  He had some presents that he still needed to buy and wrap - including one for a girlfriend, who's name he will not disclose to his mother, and it's driving her crazy!  She's smothering him with questions, so I think that's one reason he wanted to come over this week.  Now he can text his little girlfriend all he wants.  He bought her one of those goofy knit hats that teenagers are wearing now - the ones that look like animals and such.  I guess it's "the thing" right now.  Anyway, he was quite proud of it.  I do believe it was much easier being a teenager when I was a kid.  So much social pressure goes on these days. 
     I'm dying to start my instructional videos on the mini's, but it's going to wait until after Christmas.  In the meantime, pick up a pack of either black or kraft 12" x 12" cardstock and a 6" x 6" pack of pretty patterned paper (or you can use 12" x 12" coordinating patterned paper cut in quarters, if you prefer.  That's what I used.  Valentines would be a good theme to use - or Easter.  We'll get started right after Christmas with the first video.
