wahooo!

          song: Feist, "1234"

I finally finished making my very first ever video...for me, that was HARD! A lot of learning about so many things. A lot of google how-to searches, tutorials, and how-do-you? emails. That's my disclaimer, hahaha, it's certainly imperfect, but I just had to move on! I mostly learned how much I have yet to learn; this tech stuff makes my brain mushy. {You might not want to watch it in full screen, it could be too blurry. I know, something I did in the filming, or import, or export, or uploading or blah blah blah...so many places to go wrong.} All said and done it was still more fun than frustrating though. No where to go but up as they say...

Pam,

Well, I am IMPRESSED! It's wonderful! Silly girl, you need to step back and view as an observer, not a creator and see just how lovely!

The music selection was perfect, timing great, and no one would ever guess it was your first venture. I'm sure it will not be your last! Kudos to your bravery to take on something new and scary. That is real courage to us gals of a "certain maturity."

Now sit back and enjoy your accolades.

all my best,

Suzan

Loved watching your video! Wow, you've made a lot of journals :-) My first favorite part was the stacking of the journals but my most favorite part was watching you write your name, etc. at the end. Just beautiful, all of it!

[Jeanne]

I Love it!!!

I am impressed, Pam! I just learned a few new tricks myself this week and was patting myself on the back. I'm sure my kids could have done it for me, but I wanted to learn all by myself (isn't that what they used to tell me????). Anyway, kudos to you.

All the best,
Judy

[Cathy Wegner]

Thank you for this - I LOVE looking at your beautiful journals! I equally love that we see you working with pen and ink at the end! A wonderful video! Thank you for the inspiration!

[Terri Conrad]

hi Pam,

your art work and journals are absolutely delicious. Way to go on tapping the right brain and succeeding in making your video (it was fun to watch!). The technical stuff continues to elude & frustrate me. I'll stick to my pens, pencils, paints & photoshop :o)

[joyce]

I'm still grinnnnning, my eyes are round like saucers and I'm still grinnnnning. Happy happies.

[Lisa]

Loved to see all of them...

[Angie]

Wow! That is alot of journals and every single one was gorgeous! I kept hitting pause so I could get a better look. And I loved that song from the Target commercial,now i know the name,Thanks!

[Jennifer Conway]

So, so great - loved watching it.....looking forward to more! *smiles* ~Jen

[cerri]

What a FUN video! I watched it twice and it was better in full screen as you could see the details of your beautiful journals better. Amazing stuff.
One of my favorite songs too...
Oh, and I loved watching you write at the end, that was a great addition to your video!

[Véro/bermick]

Many many beautiful journals.... j'adooooore ;-)

[Imke]

Pam, you are such an amazing artist!!!
Your work is so inspiring! I wish you could come to Germany to teach classes! I need to find somebody here... or just fly over the big pond!
The video and the music are beautiful!
Love from Munich/Germany!
Imke

[Ana]

As I understand you Pam! It is very difficult. I spent the same when I made my first video, until I learned a little, why do not master even videos.

Your video just loved me. This all many precious books! I liked it. Congratulations!

[joei]

absolutely stunning and NICE WORKS!!!! Pam.

[Francesca Di Leo]

woohooo!! love it girl. keep em coming, this is awesome. and i'd love to see a video of you in action, actually working in your journal... now that would be incredible to watch over your shoulder and watch you put your genius on paper....

great job.

[linda b]

I loved it Pam!

[Mae]

oh how i wish i could flip the pages of your colorful journals. i think you did an awesome job with your video...couldn't even tell it's your first one.

[debe]

Yes...I agree with the above comment. You are a genius!! Your creativity is endless and everything you do just oozes with it. I would love to just sit and watch you create...love the pen and ink part. So envious....

[Nancy S]

Wow! You have the most amazing journals! What an inspiration. And just so you know, it isn't blurry in the slightest in full screen. Full screen made the video all the more scrumptious and beautiful.

[Melora Lustig]

My heart got racing trying to take in all of the images. Beautiful, inspiring. So glad to hear that MORE will be coming soon. I'd love to sit and leaf through all of your journals. I'm sure to use the pause button...a lot!
Thank you for sharing.

[Rebecca G.]

Nice! I know what you mean about the tech stuff, though. I gave up on trying to edit videos. It's SO time consuming and can be so frustrating! I'll stick to things I can control with my hands... ;-)

[Teresa Dalton]

That answers my question about how many journals are too many! Cute!

[Jane Santini]

Pam: As always, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I view your site every day, hoping to see more; so, what a treat that video was. Thank you!
Jane

[susan gilman]

WOW Pam, what will you do with all your journals they look like they are each one special, beautiful and sweet all at the same time!

[cgs]

goose bumps you make me proud,
connie
:D

[Sharon]

Wonderful video! Please do more!

[Artbyhandz.wordpress.com]

you made us dancing and singing here, the song goes so along with timing, colors and the way you stack the journals, it's POETIC.
Congratulations on your first professional attempt, it went fab (^_^)

[lisa mcilvain]

Well Done! You got a standing ovation from me Pam. Amazing amount of journals you've made. I start & then finish, I think after watching I may finally finish mine from Returns of the Day. Lisa
PS I'd love to know what tip you use on your pen, I can't seem to find one that is just right.

[sandy]

Well like everything you do it's wonderful! and the music is great

[cheryl carey bass]

Wow, Pam! That was a great video (love the song choice, too!) I know all the "techy" side of blogging and sharing (vids, etc.) can be frustrating, to say the least. That's why we're artists, not computer programmers! :) So, here's my question: do you actually WRITE in all those journals, or are the pictures (art journals) or what?! Holy cow.

[Molly Quigley Hughes]

Great job! Inspiring and wonderful. I would never have thought you were a first timer at this! I bow to you!

[Ursula]

I thought it was great! I enjoyed it very much.
