   Thumbs up!! I’m sure that was really intimidating to post and I know I would feel the same way about my voice and my appearance and everything but we’re our own worst critics! I’m super excited about your video tutorials and can’t wait!

2. Linda w January 14th, 2009 at 11:16 pm 2

   Wonderful job Lauren. Now I get to hear you and put a voice to all of your wonderful art work. Only 1 thing, there might be more lighting needed. Can’t wait for your tutorials.

   Thanks much

   Thumbs up! You’re too cute! And so brave for putting a video out there! Can’t wait to see your stamping tutorials. You are one of my “I want to be like her when I grow up” stamping celebrities!

4. Janelle January 14th, 2009 at 11:17 pm 4

   You’re a brave girl, Lauren! It’s a good start, loved it — and since your talking is much like your writing, it seemed like I’d always been “listening” to you. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come. Thanks for “putting yourself out there!”

5. Christine January 14th, 2009 at 11:20 pm 5

   Great job!!!

6. AnneSATX January 14th, 2009 at 11:20 pm 6

   Well, I think you look so cute and I am really looking forward to watching all your videos. If you are as careful with the videos as you are with the written tutorials, you’ll definitely have a winner! Thanks for being brave enough to do this! You definitely have a fan club here!

7. Dana G January 14th, 2009 at 11:24 pm 7

   Good for you! And I thought starting up my blog was a big deal today…but you and the videos!! You are my hero! 🙂 Looking forward to your Mondays with My Time on camera and every other day here reading your blog. You are such an inspiration!

8. Donelda January 14th, 2009 at 11:25 pm 8

   This is going to make your blog EVEN BETTER!!! Yeah!! I can’t wait to just watch you make something!! It is nice to see how the “pros” go through the making process. Thanks for all the hard work!!

9. Lorri January 14th, 2009 at 11:25 pm 9

   Lauren, you were great on video. Now I really feel like you are a good friend. LOL. I will always click on your blog every day.

    The video was great Lauren, looking forward to seeing you do more of them.
    PS You have a lovely voice, don’t be so hard on yourself!

12. Heather B January 14th, 2009 at 11:29 pm 12

    You are just too darn cute! Thank you so much for putting yourself out there….your blog is a constant inspiration and I can’t wait to see your tutorials! Thanks again and great job on the video! I’m super excited for you and for all of the “mytime” followers!!

    Lauren you did great!! It’s quite an intimidating process I know – I just made one for my VSN challenge on Saturday – yikes!! It’s sooooooo hard to watch yourself!! I had my children help me (stopping/starting the camera, etc) so it didn’t feel so much like I was talking to air. But then we only did it like . . . 50 times!! LOL!! Great job girl – nice to “meet” you this way! Looking forward to more! 🙂

14. Diana January 14th, 2009 at 11:31 pm 14

    Thumbs up! Your photo tutorials are so helpful, and your blog is just wonderful to read…I think your addition of videos is such a good idea because seeing the process real-time is even more helpful (I don’t have a stamp club to go to, so it’s like having a live teacher!!!).

    Thanks for all your hard work and sharing your creativity!

15. Steph January 14th, 2009 at 11:31 pm 15

    GREAT JOB Lauren!!! I LOVE it. It’s so cool to actually put a voice with the picture. Also, I so admire you for just putting yourself out there, so to speak. I know it feels akward and strange and you are going to nit-pick everything you do, but just remember we that visit your blog are thrilled to “see” you. In fact, I’m hoping you will add a video every now and then to “hang out” with us and tell us what’s been going on. Oh……….it would also be fun to watch your kiddos doing a project with you. So sweet!

16. Katie January 14th, 2009 at 11:35 pm 16

    Oh my gosh – you are so adorable!! Great job and good for you for stretching yourself like this.

17. SusanH January 14th, 2009 at 11:36 pm 17

    LOVE the video Lauren! Great job. I also want to thank you for all that you post. I don’t know HOW you do all that you do. You’re an inspiration. Thank you!

18. Amy Schmackle January 14th, 2009 at 11:39 pm 18

    I just wanted to say great work. I thought maybe something on organizing. I give you all fingers up. Great job. Can’t wait to see your tutorial. I was wondering if you could do some of your old tutorials on your camera

19. Kristi Z. January 14th, 2009 at 11:43 pm 19

    VERY brave, in deed! And, yes, I totally hear the valley girl in you, but it’s great, and I’m TOTALLY looking forward to your “live” tutorials! Thanks for doing this, you’re really awesome and inspiring!

20. Kelly January 14th, 2009 at 11:44 pm 20

    Girl, you are too hard on yourself. You did fantastic and I can’t wait to see your tutorials. Congratulations on this big cyber step!

21. Kelly S January 14th, 2009 at 11:47 pm 21

    Oh my goodness Lauren, you are so sweet!! Definitely 2 thumbs up!! Way to go, I’m sure it took way more courage than I have!! Can’t wait to see your tutorials!!

22. Sharon D January 14th, 2009 at 11:49 pm 22

    Great first effort, Lauren! Can’t wait for the first lesson!

23. Tori Wild January 14th, 2009 at 11:51 pm 23

    Totally thumbs up— What a fun way to get more personal with your readers! Can’t wait to see your first “over the shoulder” tutorial! I always love your projects, it will be fun to see them “in action!”

24. Bree January 14th, 2009 at 11:51 pm 24

    This is my first post Lauren because I wanted to give you a thumbs up!! It is SO hard to put yourself out there, but you did a great job! Love your projects, thank you for sharing your talent!!

25. Renee (happystamper05) January 14th, 2009 at 11:54 pm 25

    I am so dang proud of you, Girlfriend! You did it! And, you did a wonderful job!
    I would agree with you about ‘talking to yourself’ – it would be difficult for me too. I’m sure it will become old-hat before you know it.
    I’m looking forward to seeing all your future videos. The best part will be seeing the Stamping Godess in action! It will be the next best thing to being in the same room as you!
    Way to go, Lauren!
    Hugs,
    Renee

26. Renee (happystamper05) January 14th, 2009 at 11:56 pm 26

    So, I just re-read this and noticed that you did this at night…. 2:00 in the morning! You look great for it being that late. I turn into a pumpkin after midnight. I might be awake, but I look like a pumpkin! LOL

27. Amber January 14th, 2009 at 11:59 pm 27

    I think you did a fabulous job, Lauren! I come to your blog every day – sometimes several times a day just to see if you have anything new! I love all of your ideas and creations! Congrats on your first video. You did awesome!

28. Kendra - scs:apigonfire January 15th, 2009 at 12:00 am 28

    Oh my gosh girl! You are so cute! 🙂
    I love your voice – and I detect a bit of an eastern accent! I did not link your voice with you – I don’t know what I expected, but I was so happily surprised. You sound just like someone I would love to talk to for 3 hours on the phone!
    You are so real – so genuine! I *heart* you! 🙂
    ~Kendra

29. kisha January 15th, 2009 at 12:02 am 29

33. Natasha January 15th, 2009 at 12:07 am 33

    Girl I don’t know how you have the time to do all that you do. I think the video idea is great but also understand if you don’t always have time to do it. I give it two thumbs up! Love your blog and all the diverse things you share.

34. Twila Davis January 15th, 2009 at 12:11 am 34

    Melissa

38. Stephanie Buriel January 15th, 2009 at 12:58 am 38

    Lauren,

    I think your blog is awesome and even more so now that you are going to be doing videos. I didn’t think you were awkward at all, the video seemed very natural to me so quit worrying! You were great and I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

39. Debbie Lee January 15th, 2009 at 1:15 am 39

    Lauren! HUGE Thumbs Up!! How exciting! I’m really looking forward to all of your tutorials! You are one of the most talented stampers out there and I always love your posts and all of your new creations! You are amazingly talented! Thank you for giving us another medium to learn from you!
    Keep up the GREAT work! Thanks for all you do!

    Great job of introducing yourself & telling us whats in store with you & your new videos! I look forward to seeing your tutorials & just be you thats all we ask & you’ll be fine, none of us are perfect (as much as we all would like to be, but really impossible). Good luck Lauren!

43. Kathy Thisted January 15th, 2009 at 1:45 am 43

    Lauren – it was great once i found the video. I listened to the audio twice before I located the video. I commend you for even doing this. I can stand in front of 30 folks but don’t stick a camera in my face. looking forward to your future videos!Yah, Lauren!! 🙂

44. Melissa January 15th, 2009 at 5:50 am 44

    Fran Dreshcer – NOT! It’s just different from what you hear in your head… not awful at all. You sound like you look – pretty, upbeat and real. I think that beside than your fabulous crafting inspiration it’s you and how you put yourself out to us that I love about your blog. No pretentiousness here! Someone who can be “nekid” in front of all of us is like a dear, sweet friend. You bless us all by being here. Thumbs UP!

45. Elena January 15th, 2009 at 6:47 am 45

    Thumbs up!!! I am very excited too! I can’t wait to see your tutorials! I also would like to hear some tips and tricks!

51. Nicole Zemla January 15th, 2009 at 8:17 am 51

    I check your blog every day and it gets my mojo working. I was so excited to see you got your video working. I am beyond excited to see what faubu things you show us here in cyber space. You rock girl!!!!!:)

52. Erin January 15th, 2009 at 8:32 am 52

    I can only imagine how intimidating that must have been!
    But I want to say CONGRATULATIONS and job well done.
    I’m sure this is a big step, keep up the good work and all of the wonderful inspiration that you’ve provided us with over
    the last couple of years!

    wow Lauren you rocked it girl! 2 thumbs up! 🙂 I cannot wait to see your tutorials!!!!!! I really appreciate you doing this for us fans!

54. Wendy G January 15th, 2009 at 8:35 am 54

    This is awesome that you’re putting yourself out there in this way, i’m sure that all of your readers will really enjoy seeing you work! I love your blog, you do some amazing work…and look forward to your videos!

    I have to say, I have your blog in my reader, and this morning all of a sudden I started hearing your video very lightly in the background and couldn’t figure out what it was! I thought my computer was possessed…I had nothing open with a video, and I could barely hear it. Then I realized that I could hear the video through the reader (which normally doesn’t happen)! 🙂

55. Brenda Miller January 15th, 2009 at 8:37 am 55

    You go girl!!!! Great job!!! I do have a suggestion for a tutorial…. how to use the copic markers I want to make the investment but am worried that I won’t be able to make my coloring as good as eveyone elses. Thanks for I you do I love EVERYTHING!!!!!

56. Marta Fosco January 15th, 2009 at 8:39 am 56

    Definite Thumbs UP! you did great and I can’t wait to “hear” the first tutorial. (This is going to be so hard … I usually check your blog at work … oh well maybe some of my colleagues will become interested in stamping LOL). WTG girl!

57. Tracey (Australia) January 15th, 2009 at 8:43 am 57

    Great job Lauren! Definately thumbs up!

    No need to be so hard on yourself – all you do is heartfelt, genuine and inspiring, and we all appreciate and admire the hard work and love you put into all of your posts.

    I love your blog, your projects and your spirit. Thank you for all that you share.

58. Joan E. January 15th, 2009 at 8:57 am 58

    Two thumbs up. Great job on the video, Lauren. I get tired just thinking of all the things you accomplish. Thanks for doing the video tutorials. Never thought I’d be anxiously waiting for Mondays to come.

59. Ginny Schleich January 15th, 2009 at 9:01 am 59

    I agree with you about having a one-way conversation-gotta be hard! But you did great! I’m sure it will get easier for you as you get more comfortable with it. I so appreciate everything you do on your blog and look forward to seeing your videos. You go girl!

60. Joey January 15th, 2009 at 9:08 am 60

    Awesome job, Lauren!

61. Agustina G. Ortega January 15th, 2009 at 9:14 am 61

62. Carol Hinton January 15th, 2009 at 9:15 am 62

    I’m so glad to see that you’re doing videos now. It’s one thing to view a photo of someone, but it’s much more personal viewing someone on video. You are exactly what I imagined you would be liked if I were to meet you. I’m looking forward to seeing your tutorials.

    Carol

63. Ann Lind January 15th, 2009 at 9:21 am 63

    Yahoo!!! I am so excited !! Thanks so much for being so diligent and working so hard to make this happen. I really admire your work and it was so nice to meet you this morning. When you were teaching classes I so wished I lived close enough to join in so the video tutorials will the next best thing. Have a great day Ann Lind

64. Vicki January 15th, 2009 at 9:26 am 64

    Thank you for being so open and trying something new. Good for you! I love what you create and I appreciate your efforts for sharing.

    Looking forward to the new video.

    Vicki

65. Kristine January 15th, 2009 at 9:29 am 65

    A definite thumbs up, Lauren!! Can’t wait to see future broadcasts!! Have a great day!!

66. gail January 15th, 2009 at 9:35 am 66

    Congratulations Lauren! So nice to see and hear you. Love your blog. You are so creative and talented. Looking forward to seeing your future broadcasts. I know you will do a great job! Just be yourself, you are a natural.

67. Julie Campbell January 15th, 2009 at 9:35 am 67

68. Mandy January 15th, 2009 at 9:35 am 68

    Thumbs up Lauren, you’re too hard on yourself. Your voice is fine and so is your video. Thanks for sharing!

69. Michele aka derbylea January 15th, 2009 at 9:37 am 69

    Hey Lauren
    Your video came out great! Dont worry so much, you are fabulous and inspirational which is why you have so many blog stalkers. Looking forward to your next video!

70. Debbie January 15th, 2009 at 9:41 am 70

    LOL! OMG Lauren! You are so ADORABLE! Thumbs up girl!

71. Sonia January 15th, 2009 at 9:44 am 71

    Great job Lauren! You’re as cute as a button…what do you mean the camera adds 10 lbs?!? Ya look great girl, so that must mean you look FABULOUS in person!

    Can’t wait to see what videos you create!

72. Sandy K January 15th, 2009 at 9:47 am 72

    I look forward to you videos. You are so cute and easy to look at and you have a very sweet easy to listen to voice. Good luck with your videos, you will do great! Have a wonderful day.

73. Bethany Paull January 15th, 2009 at 9:47 am 73

    2 AM!!! Go to bed girl! But seriously, this is fab. Good for you getting it done. Can’t wait to see your next video.

74. StampinCathy January 15th, 2009 at 9:49 am 74

    Lauren,
    Fabulous video. You are just to cute. Can’t wait to see the tutorial. Keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to inspire us in blogland.

75. Heather January 15th, 2009 at 9:50 am 75

    The video came out good! Great first effort. I think we’re always our harshest critics. A lot of others before me have said you sounded fine, you looked fine….everything was fine! So just give us videos when you get them together — or don’t…we’ll be happy either way. You have great projects, and with or without sound/moving pictures, we’ll still be here to see your great creations. But…I want to say again….the video was great!!!

76. Renee Winch January 15th, 2009 at 9:52 am 76

    Definately THUMBS UP! You are just too cute for color TV, so videos will be a great medium for you. I love your tutorials, so just ger her done! Thanks a bunch, Renee

77. Pam P. January 15th, 2009 at 9:52 am 77

    Great job on your first video, I look forward daily to visiting your blog, can’t wait for your first tutorial!!! Your projects are so beautiful and your blog inspires many.

78. Marisa January 15th, 2009 at 9:53 am 78

    THUMBS UP!!! I think that this is a great idea. I learn so much from the video tutorials that everyone does! I think that it is a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration!! Have a great day!! 🙂

79. chrisd January 15th, 2009 at 9:56 am 79

    Thumbs up-great job. You never stop to inspire me or surprise me with your never ending talents.
    Hugs from Michigan

82. Kelly January 15th, 2009 at 10:00 am 82

    Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work!

    You are very appreciated!

    Sally

93. Alissa Fly January 15th, 2009 at 10:22 am 93

    Lauren,
    Wow, great job!!! It will be SO FUN to compare this “first try” (and I put it in quotes b/c I know perfectionist that you are that this is was the 100th try — lol) with what you are producing this time next year. Thanks for sharing with us and allowing us to watch you grow. . .hey, this is NOT easy and we all know that. . .do you see US on camera in the blogasphere??? Looking forward to your first tutorial. Good to finally “meet” you although I’m in the middle of TN!

     Good job on the video Lauren. I have to admit, I check out your blog everyday, but don’t usually comment. I do love your creations and your style! Can’t wait to see your first video tutorial….I’m sure it will be awesome!

101. Resa January 15th, 2009 at 11:03 am 101

     Lauren,
     I think it is wonderful that you are doing video’s! I think people like me will learn a lot and am looking forward for all your projects and thoughts!

     Have fun with them! I know it is intimidating, But your blog followers are your friends and they only want the best for you!!!

     I am a new follower of your blog and I really like it. I’ve booked marked it and get your news letters. Thank you for all the work that you put into in. I know it’s fun to do since it is something that you really enjoy!

     Take care!

102. Andria Werner January 15th, 2009 at 11:08 am 102

     Hi Lauren. I don’t think I have left a comment before, my bad! But I wanted to let you know that you are one of the BIGGEST inspirations for me! I have downloaded most of the My Timeless Templates and am working on a neat project with All Boxed Up right now.
     Your videos you are gonna start making have me so excited! I don’t think you look weird at all on them. It is hard to have a one way convo like you said. But you are doing good for it being your first one! Can’t wait till tonight when you put your first one up!
     I honestly have no idea how you come up with the most amazing projects, templates and cards. You go girl!
     Andria (prairie mom on scs)

103. Lexi January 15th, 2009 at 11:08 am 103

     You are too cute!! I just recently found your blog site and it’s one of my favorites! I’m looking forward to your videos and more of your stamping/scrapbooking creations. Definately a “TWO THUMBS UP”! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

104. Denean January 15th, 2009 at 11:11 am 104

     OK, could you be any cuter?? 🙂
     Looking forward to more videos!! Thanks for all you do!

105. BellaroseCreations January 15th, 2009 at 11:18 am 105

     My goodness you got so many wonderful comments…you deserve it! Your blog is the FIRST blog I hit every day…EVERY day. You always make me smile, inspire me with your creations and have really great practical advice on how to do it ‘all’ LOL…I am a SAHM mom of two ‘trying’ to stamp, make giffts, clean as well. You have helped me so many times! I LOVE the video…and it is so nice to hear the voice with the face.

106. Annie January 15th, 2009 at 11:33 am 106

     A Big THUMBS UP. I give you tons of credit for making a go at the video thing. I did it a few times and your right, it is difficult have a one sided conversation all while looking at all the quirky things you do (and don’t worry we all have something we do – I happen to lick and bit my lip which is very embarrassing).

     Truly proud of you – can’t wait for the tutorials.
     Annie

107. Jeri January 15th, 2009 at 11:44 am 107

     Thumbs UP!!! I have enjoyed getting to know you through your blog. Looking forward to the videos!!!

108. Mel N Tx January 15th, 2009 at 11:46 am 108

     Lauren this is great, I know there won’t be a thumbs down! 2 thumbs up all the way! I guess I’m a blog stalker, I’ve subscribed to your blog for a long while and I read you every morning,and never commented. You are a great inspiration, not just paper crafts, your life also. I say if she can do it, so can I, but you must stay up all night to get all this done! Keep it up, you ROCK.
     Melanie

109. Judy January 15th, 2009 at 11:52 am 109

     Lauren, so happy to see your video up and running! So looking forward to your tutorials. I know what you mean about how your voice sounds to you. I feel the same way about mine! LOL!!! Anyway, you sound great and you are going to be great! BTW, maybe at some time you can introduce your family to us via video. Wishing you continued success!

110. Kerry January 15th, 2009 at 12:03 pm 110

     A BIG THUMBS UP LAUREN!!! I don’t want it to be perfect…just let your wonderful personality shine through!!Good luck. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

111. MelissaC January 15th, 2009 at 12:04 pm 111

     2 Big Thumbs Up Lauren! Thank you so much for putting in the time to figure this out. I can’t imagine having the courage to take on such a project. You inspire me in so many ways! Blessings and Hugs!!

112. Dahlene January 15th, 2009 at 12:05 pm 112

     Hi Lauren,
     I admire you taking on this fun new task. It was great to see you try something new and I will be tuning in each week. I bet you felt like you were recording your first voice mail, I hate that! I also love how you did your blog and the way each comment looks so pretty.

113. Terri Moore January 15th, 2009 at 12:10 pm 113

     I am glad to see you finally figured it out. I really admire you for putting yourself out there like that and you plan on making 1 video a week now. I just made my third technique video this week and I know how much work they are so I am only planning on making 1 video a month right now but each time you make them they do get easier. I have a few suggestions for you that might make them easier to make in the future. If you would like to know what they are feel free to email me. I look forward to seeing your next one.

114. joann January 15th, 2009 at 12:21 pm 114

     WoW Lauren…..Great job. I will be watching. Cant wait to see all the great things your going to show us. Hey, you should even let the kids say hi every now and then….I feel like I know them too. (not a stalker….just a faithful blog follower) LOL. All kidding aside, Looking forward to Mondays with Mytime !!!
     JoAnn

115. April Z January 15th, 2009 at 12:26 pm 115

     Hi Lauren,
     I check your blog everyday and I’m excited that you’ll be doing videos now too! Your creativity always amazes me!

116. Allison January 15th, 2009 at 12:29 pm 116

     Thumbs up! How great is it to hear your voice! It’s funny, but when I read blogs, I get into my head what I think the person sounds like as I read what they write! Now I have an actual voice to put with the words!

     I am looking forward to seeing all that you do with the videos. Everything else that I have seen (your blog, your Timeless Templates) have been fantastic!

     Thank you for sharing and I look forward to see the tutorials!

117. Darlene January 15th, 2009 at 12:38 pm 117

     Thumbs up! Your blog is terrific already and the videos will add so much more. It’s nice to see and hear the person (that’s You) behind all the creative and inspiring projects. Also, kudos to you for putting yourself out there – wonderful first video.

118. Elizabeth S. January 15th, 2009 at 12:39 pm 118

     Lauren, I give you a thumbs up!! This is going to be so to see you doing your fabulous work and watching how to accomplish it. Thank you.

119. Heather January 15th, 2009 at 12:39 pm 119

     You done good, Girl!
     I’m looking forward to seeing all your wonderful tidbits and to, of course, learning along the way.
     You’ve inspired me in so much and have taught me that expanding ‘outside of the box’ (literally-lol) can be fun.

     Bonne chance, ma belle!

     Heather (Montreal)

120. MacKenzie Bruckler January 15th, 2009 at 12:47 pm 120

     Thumbs up girlfriend!

121. Veronica January 15th, 2009 at 12:51 pm 121

     TWO THUMBS UP!!! If I had more thumbs I would have raised more 🙂

     You are cuter in person, well, video in person than I imagined.

     I can see where your creativity and personality mesh together and are one!

     Thank YOU for the inspiration and tutorial videos coming our way.

     Bad hair day?? What are you talking about?! Nah..you look lovely.

     Be blessed..Veronica

122. Wendy January 15th, 2009 at 12:54 pm 122

     When I read you were going to try video I got so excited!! I have been coming to your blog for probably a year. You are definitely an inspiration to me love love love your work. I give a big thumbs up from Prince Edward Island! You did a great job for your first. Look forward to your video tuturiols…../kwernerdesign.com/blog/ Kristina seems to know her way around making video tuturiols you might want to look her up she would probably help you out.

123. Alicia Chaparro January 15th, 2009 at 12:56 pm 123

     Lauren! You are so AMAZING to do this! You look beautiful! I’m so impressed with your talent and you’re ability to share so openly! You are truly a SuperWoman!!! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us all!

     Hugs and Blessings
     Alicia AKA militarystampingmom

124. Dawn Easton January 15th, 2009 at 1:01 pm 124

     Well how flippin’ cute are you?!!! hehe! Can’t wait for the first tutorial!! You done yet 😉

125. Deb January 15th, 2009 at 1:03 pm 125

     Lauren, You did a great job on your first video. I can’t image how you felt video-ing yourself, plus talking to yourself. That would feel weird. I liked the idea that you laughed and were yourself, please don’t get too professional in your video’s. K
     Again Great Job!!! = )

126. Maylee January 15th, 2009 at 1:06 pm 126

     I think you did a great job! Looking forward to your tutorials, I love reading your blog and I do it daily! You are so very talented!

127. RUTHANN January 15th, 2009 at 1:18 pm 127

     Hi Lauren,
     You did a great job!
     I am soooooo! happy that you are going to start making
     videos. It is so much easier to see something than following printed instructions. Can’t wait for the first
     tutorial!

128. lisa k in tx January 15th, 2009 at 1:20 pm 128

     Great job! We are so excited to have video tutorials of your now! You ROCK sister! Thanks so much!!! Can’t wait for the first one…it will be our “date” night…LOL! 🙂 lisa k in tx

129. Janine Allen January 15th, 2009 at 1:24 pm 129

     Lauren,

     Wonderful job!!! You have a nice voice. Will be nice to see and hear you do a tutorial…..
     Advice: just be yourself, have fun and don’t worry, life’s too short!!!

130. Jackie January 15th, 2009 at 1:27 pm 130

     I think your video was great and thank you for posting it! It’s so nice to be able to get to know someone a little more, especially when you admire their work as much as I do yours! Reading what you write is great but seeing you live and unscripted is even better. Just relax, be yourself and you will be a big hit (you already are!).

131. Monica Jantz January 15th, 2009 at 1:31 pm 131

     Great job, Lauren! Can’t wait to see more! You’re doing fine, no problem here! Hugs, Monica

132. Conniecrafter January 15th, 2009 at 1:37 pm 132

     I think you did a good job on this one, can’t wait to see you work, that is always interesting to me to watch someone create and maybe learn an easier way then how I do things. I can imagine it is nerve wracking thing to do but I think it is great you are giving it a try, I know it is going to take more of your time so try not to get to overwhelmed, you can always do it every other week to make it easier on yourself. Good luck and looking forward to it!

133. Margaret C January 15th, 2009 at 1:44 pm 133

     You did a GRAND job!! Well done ! I would LOVE to see some video tutorials of you using your templates – yes, they are easy enough to work out, but I am a very visual person and a video would be such a help. i also look at the stuff you create with your templates, and seriously think I wouldn’t get such fab results puzzling it on my own. HTH!!! LOVE YOUR WORK !!!

134. Anne January 15th, 2009 at 1:54 pm 134

     CONGRATULATIONS Lauren! So thrilled that you could finally get your xmas present to work! WOOHOO! A big two thumbs up to you girl!

135. Kim January 15th, 2009 at 2:10 pm 135

     Great job! I would love to see how you organize your supplies…it’s an on-going challenge for me. I feel I’ve wasted money on things that don’t work well. With your creativity, I’m sure you have some great ideas! Thanks!!

136. Leanne F. January 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pm 136

     Lauren,
     I am thrilled that you added this to your blog. I love all your work and would love to see how you actually create it, especially your timeless templates. You video was fine and you look great!!!

137. Yvonne Carruthers January 15th, 2009 at 2:21 pm 137

     Great job – you rock!

138. mary beth January 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pm 138

     congrats to you girl ! amazing job — can’t wait to see your first tutorial!!!

139. Debbi January 15th, 2009 at 2:37 pm 139

     Great job Lauren, you are even sweeter on video than I imagined, and I can’t wait to see more. Everything you do is an inspiration, thanks in advance, I know I am going to be visiting even more often now.

140. Germana Ferrao January 15th, 2009 at 2:38 pm 140

     Wow, so excited to have you in person for the tutorials, I am kinda visual gal… so this will be so so helpful, I love to take inspiration from your artwork! Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us! Love and hugs always!

141. annabelle January 15th, 2009 at 2:44 pm 141

     I love it, so two thumbs up. Can´t wait for the first tutorial.

142. Holly January 15th, 2009 at 2:48 pm 142

     Lauren, you are just so sweet and I can totally understand how you felt making this, but I assure you that you did great and you’ll feel more comfortable with it as you continue. We all love you and are super excited about this next phase of your blog! definitely a thumbs up, and thanks for all you do!

143. Kristen Carpinello January 15th, 2009 at 3:04 pm 143

     Hi Lauren,
     Hurray! You did it! I love the video idea. It provides an opportunity to connect on a different level. While we can get an idea of your personality from your writing, the video puts you out there – and we can see you, hear you, and get an idea of who you are. It is so much more personal. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.

144. Joan January 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pm 144

     Lauren, 2 thumbs up!! Your so cute, and you did an awesome job. I’m anxiously waiting for the first tutorial.

145. Kim L. January 15th, 2009 at 3:37 pm 145

     Can’t wait to see the upcoming videos! Thank you for doing this!
     Personally, I’d really like to see tutorials with your templates!
     Thanks for sharing your projects, suggestions, and talent with your readers! 🙂

146. Suzie Carpenter January 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pm 146

     I love the idea of video. Would you ever think about doing some tutorials with your templates? I personally would love for you to do a tutorial with your prayer/praise journal. I am wanting to make several of them and am having a little trouble–I will just improvise. But I think it would be a great way to market your templates and show us the different ideas.

     Love them! Love your Blog and now Love the Video!!!

147. Tamara January 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pm 147

     Thumbs up Lauren! Love your fabulous work, constantly visit your blog and am as always very impressed. You go girl and I look forward to future posts. You rock! I wanna be just like you when I grow up!!!!! From the land down under!

148. Nikki Kucharek January 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pm 148

     I am so excited about your tutorials! I love your blog and can’t wait to see them! Have anything valentiny to share?

149. Isabel Zito January 15th, 2009 at 3:59 pm 149

     You did it:) Good for you and congrats on taking the first step in yet another facet of your blogging. I enjoyed hearing your voice after all this time following your blog and enjoying every minute of it. I just LOVE everything that you create and you are a true inspiration for me not just b/c of your creativity but also b/c of the way you approach life. You are a blessing to all whose lives you touch.

150. charna scarpati January 15th, 2009 at 4:24 pm 150

     Laura,

     Love the video! I can not wait for Mondays now! lol. Even my son loved the video that he started getting mad and started crying when the video stopped!

     Definitely two thumbs up!

     charna

151. Elizabeth Kaczmarek January 15th, 2009 at 4:26 pm 151

     Great Job, Lauren. Love your templates. Keep up the
     good work.

152. Vivien Manchester, NH January 15th, 2009 at 4:35 pm 152

     FANTASTIC !!!! You go girl ! Thumbs up ! WAY UP !!!
     We are so lucky to have you !
     Looking forward to ALL your videos, tutorials, cards, templates etc……you are such a gift to the stamping, craft world!

153. diane mcvey January 15th, 2009 at 4:39 pm 153

     FABULOSO!!!! A big thumbs up for you, Lauren! This is going to be GREAT FUN!!! 😀

154. Kim S. January 15th, 2009 at 4:41 pm 154

     Hi Lauren! I absolutley love and appreciate your video! I love checking out your website for beautiful cards and great projects! I do have a question for you! I currently own only SU stamps but I love some of the ones from Papertrey…I’ve noticed with some of my store bought acrylic stamps the ink comes out blotchy, almost spotty looking. Any idea why that happens? I’m using only SU ink pads. Would that happen to the Papertrey stamps too? That is my biggest reservation about purchasing their stamps. I hope you can help me out so my acrylic stamp sets will work better! Thanks for your help! Love the blog…Kim S.

155. Cindy, CA January 15th, 2009 at 5:15 pm 155

     Yaaayyyy!!!
     I love that you are doing the video tutorial, I am such the visual learner. You really made me laugh with the video, dont think about it too much your personality is awesome it shines through on your blogs so it will shine through on you blogs. I cant wait to see you get to work…
     Thumbs way up!!!!

156. Penny January 15th, 2009 at 5:17 pm 156

     A big thumbs UP! You are inspiring to us all! So looking forward to the tutorials. Thanks for braving the video world and sharing with us. You rock!

157. Elaine January 15th, 2009 at 5:27 pm 157

     I’m happy for you…and this is so exciting; to get to see you create; recorded live!!! You will do fine…Thanks!!!

158. Melissa D. January 15th, 2009 at 5:52 pm 158

     Well, I hope you were serious about the 200 comments hehehe.
     I also wanted to ask you something, are you Italian? I only ask because you were talking about using your hands, etc. My husband is Italian and him and I and others like to talk with out hands as well.
     I am leaving an all encompassing comment. ALL the projects you have done and shared with us are WONDERFUL!!! I don’t think there was a single one that I didn’t like. You really are an inspiration to me and I hope that I can do this “hobby” justice as you do. Love your craft area by the way. You are lucky, I use a portion of the laundry room that is also shared with the family office, ugh!!!
     Keep up the good work.

159. Justine January 15th, 2009 at 5:57 pm 159

     Wow this is so stinkin COOL. Super fun to really get to “Meet” you and hear your voice etc. The comment above me is funny since I live in Italy and completely fit in with the speaking with my hands thing. I should make one of these videos with my crazy hands. LOL
     Thank you so much for this fun new addition.
     Hugs,

160. Diana January 15th, 2009 at 6:06 pm 160

     I just think it’s great to finally put a sound to that voice that comes through so clearly on your blog. I love visiting your blog because you are so genuine and relaxed. You put so much of yourself into your blog. You are also soooo talented. And how do you possibly find the time to do everything? Please share with everyone how you stay so organized. And don’t worry about being professional with your videos. Just be yourself. Great job!

161. Liat January 15th, 2009 at 6:11 pm 161

     I realy l-o-v-e evrything that yoy do. god bless your hands…
     I start scrabook so it will be great for me if you learn how to do the basics tings like how to put a ribbon on cards and thing like that.
     thank you

162. rebecca January 15th, 2009 at 6:11 pm 162

     Don’t be so hard on yourself. It was fine. Two small suggestions, work on the lighting and watch the umm thing. It will probably go away when you aren’t scrambling trying to remember what you want to say!! Nervousness causes it too and that will also be better once you are ‘in your element’ and actually stamping. Great job and I definitely look forward to more!! Tutorials are my fav and video ones are even better.

163. Rhonda January 15th, 2009 at 6:25 pm 163

     Thumbs up. Great job, so glad you got it figured out. Am looking forward to your first tutorial. I am a visuall person so know this will be a great help.

164. Gail S. January 15th, 2009 at 6:42 pm 164

     I loved your new video! I am excited to see you again! What is the Papertrey Ink Newsletter? Do you sign up for it on the Papertrey site? I will head over there next to check that out.
     I love our “visits” everyday and now I can see you talk. I hope you don’t find it too much work and keep it up.

165. Diva January 15th, 2009 at 6:45 pm 165

     Two snaps up (snap, snap)! Love it. Keep it coming.

166. Gail S. January 15th, 2009 at 6:45 pm 166

     Just got back from the Papertrey Ink blog and I have already signed up for Newletter so I look forward to seeing you on it!! {hugs}

167. Tracey C. January 15th, 2009 at 6:53 pm 167

     WTG!!! I couldn’t see this at work earlier, so I just got to see it now. Love it – like I’m visiting with you 🙂 I give you a LOT of credit for putting yourself ‘out there’ for everyone – it’s a big deal – and you handled it perfectly 🙂

     Looking forward to more 🙂 chat soon!

168. cindy mitchell January 15th, 2009 at 6:55 pm 168

     Yeah!! I will watch all your videos. Great job!! I think your creativity is very inspiring!! Keep up the good work and we’ll keep watching.!!

169. ann January 15th, 2009 at 7:19 pm 169

     Hi Lauren,

     Now I can put a voice to that pretty face. You know I am your biggest fan. You were wonderful even though you might not think so. Looking forward to all of your videos. Not to worry. You are totally among friends and admirers.

     Just keep those videos and ideas coming.

     Ann

170. Lori January 15th, 2009 at 7:32 pm 170

     Hi Lauren,

     You did a great job. I’m looking forward to you videos. I love your creations.

     Thanks,

     Lori

171. Sarah January 15th, 2009 at 7:49 pm 171

     Great job, Lauren! I can’t wait to see what great things you’ll be able to show us step by step in your video tutorials. It will make your blog even more fabulous!
     Sarah

172. Jo January 15th, 2009 at 7:54 pm 172

     Lauren, great job!! So glad you figured out the video and happy you are taking time to do video tutorials! I’m sure it will be very time-consuming. I’ve watched several others on YouTube for tutorials, and it’s really helped me learn how to use tools & new techniques. Since I don’t live close to anyone who has classes, this has been a lifesaver for me. So can’t wait to start seeing your videos. I’m interested in watching any explanations on tools, products, everything!!

173. Deb January 15th, 2009 at 7:57 pm 173

     I LOVE actually seeing you talk because I’ve followed your blog for quite awhile and love what you do. You did a wonderful job on your first one – I’ll definitely be looking forward to more. Thanks so much for ALL you do!

174. Vivian January 15th, 2009 at 7:57 pm 174

     For sure a thumb’s up! i teach 1st grade and every once in a while someone wants to video tape me teaching, and it is so unnerving to see myself! i always feel like sheesh that is what i look like and sound like and yet my kids (students) seem to like me!! LOL
     Can’t wait to see what you will do next!!

176. Jamie January 15th, 2009 at 8:11 pm 176

     Thumbs up Lauren!!!! You did a wonderful job!! I know I couldn’t do something like that! Sometimes the best way to learn new things is to just jump in and play around with it! I know when I hear myself on the phone answering machine I also think, that’s not how I think I sound!! Keep up the good work, Looking forward to more!!

177. Alyssa Byron January 15th, 2009 at 8:45 pm 177

     I love it! you have more guts than me girl! I say thumbs up and cant wait for some tutorials. dont kill yourself, check out kristina werners blog for some inspiration but I know that you can do it much better than her! You can just put the tutorial to music so that you dont have talk the whole way through if you dont want. just an idea. lots of love Alyssa

178. Kristy January 15th, 2009 at 8:47 pm 178

     Definite thumbs up! I think you did a wonderful job and we are our harshest critics. I look forward to your tutorials and anything else that you share.

179. Rachel January 15th, 2009 at 9:12 pm 179

     Lauren, You have such talent. Thank you for sharing this talent in so many ways. You are really an inspiration to many. Thumbs up to you and keep up the great work.

     Great job with the video!!!! I can’t wait to watch you — bet in no time you have a tv show!

182. Cathy January 15th, 2009 at 9:32 pm 182

     You got my thumbs up on the video. Nice job and hope to see more videos.

183. Lori A. January 15th, 2009 at 9:52 pm 183

     How exciting to “see” you!! I always look SO forward to checking your blog to see what awesome stuff you’ve come up with and see how your family is doing.

184. Trista January 15th, 2009 at 9:57 pm 184

     You are so inspirational to me, Lauren! Keep up the good work! I know what you mean about being nervous in front of the camera. I am a teacher and someone asked if they could come in and videotape me teaching a lesson. I’m still on the fence about that one.

185. Rachelle January 15th, 2009 at 10:04 pm 185

     Yeah, so exciting to “see” you today. I just love your projects and I’m so excited for the video tutorials. Way to go!

186. Charlene H. January 15th, 2009 at 10:35 pm 186

     This is so neat. Now we have a personality to put to your picture. You can learn so much about a person when you see and hear them on a video. Sometimes, I think of you as being so perfect because you seem to be able to do it all and then I read this post and laughed because “that is my house”. I always have my two boys upstairs fighting with each other. I try and stay off the phone until after they go to bed because I can’t yell at them when I’m talking to someone. You are just as normal as I am and your house is just as crazy as mine. I still don’t know how you do it all but you sure do a great job.

187. Bonnie aka raduse January 15th, 2009 at 11:12 pm 187

     Way to go girlfriend. You look great for middle of the night. I’d be yawning through the whole thing. Ok, first request; your copics, coloring & blending. I’ll figure out how to sub the copic with prismacolor (I’m in love with mine thanks!) and I’m getting much better with them too. Second request; candle stamping again. I can see the picture tutorial but for some reason just can’t picture it & get it right. Need to see the process in action to get it I guess.

188. Dawn B. January 15th, 2009 at 11:28 pm 188

     I will tell you that my son, thinks we could be bff’s, because you act like me! lol

     I also must say, you looked very nervous, and I LOVED that, you were real, yourself and I could not ask for a better welcome. I hate fake people who are acting like someone they are not, and you were just like you are in your written blog posts, and for that I am thankfull….

     I told myself I would keep this quick because you have a lot to read…

     Show us your organization, your room…That is always fun to get ideas from a real room…any cool way to organize would be great.

     Your welcome was awsome keep up the good work! God Bless!

189. Debbie McKelvey January 16th, 2009 at 1:19 am 189

     Thumbs up!! How nice to put a voice with your face, it’s not Fran Dreschner at all, valley girl maybe. LOL I am so looking forward to seeing and hearing you do the tutorials as I have always felt you do such an awesome job as a stamper, creater, mom and wife with all you have going in your life, I’m tired! Just Kidding! I love this new venue and you did wonderful for a first time and if I know you, you’ll only get better!

190. Monica January 16th, 2009 at 1:55 am 190

     Definitely thumbs up! Your talking is just like your writing, so in a way I feel that I’ve already heard you. Thanks so much for keepin’ it real…that’s what I admire most about you! Can’t wait for your tutorials!

191. Julie January 16th, 2009 at 6:11 am 191

     Great first video Lauren! Can’t wait to see your first tutorial.
     Keep up the good work.

     Julie

192. Carmen January 16th, 2009 at 8:21 am 192

     Thumbs Up Lauren!!! I’m looking forward to your future videos. And, your voice thankfully doesn’t sound like Fran Dreshcer at all! If it did, then the tutorials would be a problem ha,ha,ha.

193. Marge January 16th, 2009 at 9:34 am 193

     Hi Lauren,
     I think you did a wonderful job! I really look forward to watching your tutorials.
     So from here in MD….it a Thumbs Up!
     Hugs,
     Marge

     I wanted you to know I love your blog. I get plenty of inspiration from you. I check it almost everyday. Have you thought about advertising on your site. I’m sure you get the traffic for it.

195. Catherine (Kiko) January 16th, 2009 at 12:07 pm 195

     Lauren… You’re a natural!!! You look great on video and have a wonderful voice quality. I think you’re the next papercrafting STAR!

196. Janet S January 16th, 2009 at 12:42 pm 196

     Don’t be so hard on yourself! Your video is great, it is the first one and they will improve as you go along, just like everything we do. I love coming to your blog to learn new things, thanks for all the time you put into this for all of us our here in cyber space, your ‘pretend friends’!!

197. Debra January 16th, 2009 at 12:47 pm 197

     Wow I’m sure that was really difficult to get started and just do a chat without making anything but I think that’s a really nice way to get started, sort of a video introduction of yourself. It’s wonderful to get to see you talk and see who you really are, not who we think you are! I think at the beginning of this video you were nervous but as it went on, you became more yourself and more comfortable. I always thought you’d be a more ‘talk with your hands’ person and that started coming in more towards the end of the video I think, and ya, I think you should just be yourself and not try to rein in your natural gestures.

     I’m really looking forward to seeing more videos and I’d love to see you do a specific project from beginning to end .. maybe a card or treat box – it will be nice to see you making what you’ve been showing us as the end product! I’m really excited to see more now. I think a weekly video would be fabulous!

198. Robin Orewiler January 16th, 2009 at 9:18 pm 198

     Thumbs up and you’re WAY too hard on yourself! You were brave enough to actually do this, so kudos to you. And your voice is quite nice.

199. Kathleen January 17th, 2009 at 1:21 am 199

     congratulations. I have been stalking you for ages but I don’t think Ihave ever posted a comment before. I love all of your creations, I laugh and cry with your family stories. You are a joy in this world.

     Hi Lauren, That was fantastic – I imagine that you are being just yourself – brilliant. Here in Northern Ireland we just don’t have crafters of your caliber and this opens a whole new door to us – thank-you! I am sooo looking forward to Monday’s with Mytime.

     hugs and well done!

     What a fun house! You are amazing! I truly appreciate your video…there are times that it really helps to see “how” a step is done. It is fun to see your working area and how you use your tools. We all learn from you. Again, you have done a great job and I look forward to more videos. I have one question, is there a link to the videos or an area listed on your Home Page that will help us find all of your tutorials as they are developed. Thanks!

204. jill January 21st, 2009 at 4:04 am 204

     can’t wait!

205. CherylQuilts at SCS January 21st, 2009 at 9:53 am 205

     Ah! Great video! I can imagine feeling “out there” but know that we’re all cheering for you…at our homes! So love your blog and how you are so transparent…and so talented! You amaze me! Thanks again…and looking forward to your very first video, which will be awesome!
