God has blessed me and Hubby with 5 beautiful Grandchildren and sadly, we don't get to see 3 of them very often because they live far away.
Because of this, I started thinking of ways that I could stay "in touch" with them more often, besides just a phone call or "Skype" call. (Not that these are not GREAT...I just wanted something more to let them know I am always thinking of them!)
So, awhile back, I started video recording myself reading stories to them, just as I would if they were right here with me!
At first it was a bit hard for me, because I do not like to have my picture taken and I REALLY don't like to see myself on video.
But, I realized that my Grandchildren love me just the way I am, flaws and all, so I just went with it!
At first I just sat in front of my webcam and read the stories and just did a simple video, but as I went along, I decided it would be fun to add music and titles and make it look a little more formal.
Recently I got one of those little "bloggie" type HD cams, (JVC Picsio) and I've been experimenting with it to see how it might work for some of my crafty blog videos.
I decided to try it out on one of my Storybook videos for my Granddaughter "J" and even though I wasn't thrilled with the lighting in the room, otherwise, the video turned out pretty good.
Check it out and let me know what you think:
That is all that really matters...is that my Grandbabies are well and happy!!
If you are interested in seeing any of the other "Storybook" Videos I've recorded for my Grandbabies, just go to my YouTube Channel and you will find them all there!
Thank-you all for joining me, I love talkin' about my babies!
