always wondered what some of your fave sweet shoppers are like in 'real life?' have some questions that you've been DYING to know the answers to? looking for a few extra portfolio points? :p
well....here's your chance

i'm nosy. i need to be able to place a face with a name, as well as a voice, and well, just a person's demeanor. soooo, brook and i were talking the other day and decided, we need to update the video list here at SSD.

to make things a little easier for y'all, i compiled a list of questions (thank you ms. traci reed for helping me out in that department) for everyone to answer so you don't feel as stupid talking to your webcam all alone. :D

our wonderful leader, robin, has agreed to give everyone who participates FIVE extra portfolio points. now, if that's not an incentive to do a goofy little video, i'm not sure what is! :wub:

so, without further adieu, here are the questions i have come up with
where do you live?
fav thing about where you live?
who makes up your family?
if you could have more or less kids, would you?
fav thing about your S/O?
what do you do or what did you do before you were a SAHM?
how long you've been scrapbooking?
your favorite thing about SSD?
hobbies aoutside of scrapping?
favorite books?
happiest/sadest time in your life....
morning or night?
celebrity crush?
fav ice cream?
nikon or canon?
mac or pc?
coffee or tea?
fav color? why?
if someone were to torture you with music, what would they play?
what's one thing most people don't know about you?

now, you can answer as many or as few of those questions as you like. as you'll see, most of us staff have answered all of them, but, i think we all like to talk :)

to get you inspired, i let the babes and designers have a little bit of a headstart, so, here are the videos that we have been watching all week. i hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better and i can't WAIT to see everyone elses! :wub:

I had one - but I took it down... it was quite embarrassing! Not me - my boys! LOL :)

I'll hopefully get one up tomorrow - just need to straighten my hair and look all good for you guys :)
 
Awww, Erin!!! I loved yours it was SO great!!! Seriously was one of my faves. Your boys were adorable and wonderfully funny!
 
Yikes! OK. I didn't do it last time around and always felt like a loser about it, so I will figure out how to work my DS's video thing-a-ma-bob and do it this time!
 
These are fun. :) I can relate to each of you in some way. Kristin, my husband works at a printing company and I used to. He started in pre-press. :) I started out helping pressmen package stuff as it came off the press.

I think I might have to do one of these... gotta steal my daughter's ipod though. ;)
 
I'm a long-winded dork. I went through answering the questions to myself and it took me 30 minutes to answer all the questions. So, I sat here talking to myself and realize I have to be be way more brief with my answers. LOL

Uh yeah, my first run was something like 20 mins, lol.

Incidentally--for those who don't have webcams--I didn't use a webcam. If you've got an iPhone, you can use the camera there. I love that I uploaded from my phone straight to YouTube :)
 
No web cam, video cam or Iphone - I live in the stone age :) Can we play along by doing a layout? If not, I'll still do one anyway - sounds like fun!

I want to seeeeee you. :) :wub:

I hope everybody plays along. I was waaaayyyy out of my comfort zone, but I'm glad I did it. :thumbup:
 
I did this last time, while visiting my folks, so I was able to find a quiet place other than the bathroom to do it. Not too sure I can manage that at home so I'm going to have scrub the bathtub and buy a new shower curtain before I do mine :)
 
I just recorded mine and I sound like the biggest idiot ever.

OK, how do I get it here, do I just post it or do I PM Laura the link?
 
I don't have a YouTube account. Can I email it to someone tom post here?

I didn't either... I just signed up for one! ;)

kim21673 How fun! I don't even know how to use the camera on my computer but will figure it out!

LOL!! I didn't know how to use my webcam either... which is probably why my video kept cutting off. Sooooo annoying. I just plugged mine in and recorded straight from my webcam to YouTube. Here's a little how-to: http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=57409

I hope you all do this!!! :wub:
 
just post your linkie to your video here. i'll add them all to the beginning post eventually so that robin can see them all in one spot :)

i can't wait to see everyones!!!!
 
Love it Alisa!! And you so don't sound like a man! And how cool that you know all the capitols - did you have to learn that for a class?
 
Yayyyy, Alisa!!!!! :D Mint chocolate chip is my second favorite ice cream. Yum. I am so impressed that you know the capitol of every country. I am SO bad at Geography. I wish I had that knowledge!
 
Erin, no, no need. I'm just a total geek who had a summer job that required me to supervise people who ran the place themselves. So many hours of nothing. Just decided to learn them.

I'm impressed you could all understand my accent. ;-)
 
You're so cute Alisa!! Love your accent!! And I think it's so impressive that you know all the capitals!!! Wow!!
 
Here's mine! Dorkiness and all!!!!

But there were NO fights while I took the video and only Derek interrupted and had to sit on my lap!! The other boys were watching TV in the other room!!

I am choosing NOT to replay this so I hope it's not that bad and I hope I answered the questions! LOL

After 25 outtakes and a lot of deleted videos....here I am! LOL
