Sooo... I ended up having a lot of leftover footage from my Srapbox Videothat I didn't use in the final version. Before deleting it all from my computer, I thought it would be fun to compile some of my many mistakes that I made throughout my process of filming. I hope that some of you can find some entertainment in my silly, over-analytical, dorky moments..... LOL

So, I finally got around to making a VIDEO of "craft space". I'm super excited (and nervous) to share it on here. I always feel weird seeing myself on camera. Haha!... Anyways, hope you all enjoy!......
(If you are reading this post through email or through an RSS feed, you might have to click into the actual blog post in order to view the video. You can also view it on YouTube by clicking HERE.)
For those that are interested in my storage system that was showcased in my video, here is the link to the company, below:
I've had my scrapbox for a little over a year now and I totally love it!... Granted, it was a major upgrade from my previous work space, which used to be my dining room table. So I suppose anything would have been better. Haha!
Please let me know if you have any questions at all regarding anything that I talked about in my video.
I tried to cover and show as much as I could in regards to my "craft space". However, due to time constraints, I did have to edit and remove a lot of the footage that I had recorded. I skipped some of the shelves and, in addition to my workbox, I also have another desk/shelf area where I store my cardstock and much more of my rubber stamps. But I have decided that I will probably just take pics and do a whole separate post about that stuff.
Anyways, well now let's move on to some Fun Stuff!....
Being that this is only my second video ever... some of you may remember that I held a GIVEAWAY back when I had posted my first video. So, I thought to myself: "why not have another giveaway with my second video too?!"..... :)
Originally, I had some stamp sets in mind to use. But then I thought it would be cool to giveaway something that I had actually shown in my video. You may have noticed this little piece shown below:
All you have to do, in order to be eligible to win, is leave me a comment on this post.
I'll leave this giveaway open until Thursday, March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) at 11:59 pm. Any comments left after the deadline, will not count towards the giveaway.
Pretty easy, huh?ETA: Giveaway period has now ended for this post.
Well, good luck and I sure hope you all enjoyed my video. It always feels SO weird listening to myself talk and seeing myself on video. LOL.... But hopefully I didn't make a fool out of myself.... and hopefully you didn't get bored!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to spend some of your day with me! =)
Ok, so I don't exactly have a card for today, because I decided to try something else, instead. :) You may remember one of my posts from last month, titled: "Random Facts About Myself" where I listed just some general ramblings that had to do with me.
Well, if you by any chance enjoyed that post, this one is pretty similar!... So I hope you'll stick around and not get too bored reading! haha....
Today, as I was trying to catch up on my Google Reader (which btw, I am totally behind with), I came across this list of questions on a post from Julie's blog, who is also a fellow designer for the Repeat Impressions DT. Turns out, the questions are from her friend's blog here, where you can answer the questions and then post your link on her page.
Anyways, I thought it would be fun to answer and play along too.... So, here I go:
The questions.....
1. The most expensive thing hanging in my closet is.....? ~ Hmmm.... that would probably have to be my collection of Coach bags. I went through a small phase a couple of years ago. So I have about five of them, along with a few wristlets and matching wallets.
2. Have you ever played a team sport? ~ Yupp! I played soccer all through my childhood years. I used to be on a travel team and I also played for my high school.
3. If you were a bug, what kind would you be? ~ I would have to say a Ladybug.... they are the prettiest and the least gross. =)
4. Where on your body is the worst place to get sunburned? ~ Ok, I know most of you won't believe me.... But I swear, I have never gotten a sunburn in my life. I don't know why. My skin tans very easily, but I just never get burned. So I don't even know what that "sunburn feeling/pain" feels like!
5. Are you happy? ~ I sure am! =)
6. People are always abbreviating..are there any abbreviations that make your skin crawl when people use them? ~ Hmmm..... I'm sure there is one that I probably don't care for.... but I can't think of any at the moment.
7. Do you love where you live..or could you live anywhere? ~ Well, I DO love where I live. But mainly because this is where my friends and family are. However, as I have stated before on thisprevious post, I really don't care much for the heat, and I LOVE cold weather! I was born and raised in Boston, so I guess as long as my entire group of friends and family members didn't mind moving with me, then I would definitely much rather live somewhere that has much colder weather! haha....
8. What, if any, extreme measures do you go to keep yourself from overeating when you're full? ~ HA!... I so wish I had an answer to this question.... But unfortunately, I don't take any measures to keep from eating, despite the fact that I may be full.... I just keep eating!... I LOVE to eat! =)
If you're still with me... then I'm glad you stuck around and I hope you enjoyed reading! Like always, I appreciate you stopping by! Please let me know if any of you decide to answer these questions too! I'd love to read any responses from others!
Hope you all are having a great day! Enjoy the rest of the evening!
Hi Guys! Hope everyone is having a fabulous day! =)
Ok, sooo I've decided to try something new on my blog today! I got the idea from one of my blog friends, Paulina. She started a trend on her blog where she posts random facts and thoughts about herself each month. So far, she has done a "Monthly Ramblings" post for both March and April, and I just love reading them. It's a great way to get to know other online crafters and bloggers on a more personal basis. =)
Sooo... with that being said, I have decided to do the same, and create a short list of some random things i'd like to share about myself... Hope you enjoy!
1) I seriously wish I was a much FASTER crafter! I feel like I always have a billion ideas in my head of things to make, however I'm entirely too slow, that I end up only creating one or two of my ideas, before I forget the rest! Hahaa!... ((sigh))
2) I really, really, REALLY want to learn how to properly use Photoshop!!!
3) "Hi, my name is Ayana... and i'm a huge Shop-A-Holic!"... I'm not kidding. I constantly come home to packages from various online orders that I place throughout the week. And I check my shopping websites just as much as I check my emails. Many of my friends think I'm crazy... and sadly, I think they're right!
4) I am completely obsessed with my iPhone!
5) I have been in a relationship with the same guy for the past eight and half years. No, we are not married yet... but hopefully soon.
6) A couple of years ago, I got into a horrible car accident, where my car flipped over on the highway. THAT was by far, the most scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life! Since then, I get chills whenever I hear of someone getting into an accident.
7) I have asthma and tons of allergies to various furry animals. =(
8) I LOVE cold weather! I love everything about it!.... Apparently i'm living in the wrong state! :-(
9) I don't really like being the center of attention.
10) I am such an "insomniac"... (I know, it's a horrible habit)... But if you call me at 2am, there's a 90% chance i'll be wide awake.
11) I really wish I could play the piano! If I had more free time in my life, I would totally take lessons!
12) I absolutely LOVE to TRAVEL! So far, I have visited various places in Europe, China, South & Central America.... and I am not even close to being satisfied. I wish I was rich so I could travel the world!!!
13) Before I started blogging, I thought blogs were a waste of time and I couldn't understand what the big deal was and why people were even interested in creating a blog. BUT now.... HA! I am happy to admit that I am absolutely in loveee with my blog and the whole online "blog community"! It has seriously opened up a whole new world for me (which I love)!
OK! So that's it! =)
I really hope you don't regret wasting your time reading this stuff. Haha!... Hopefully you found at least some of it interesting. I would LOVE for to hear YOUR random tidbits as well. As I stated earlier, it's a great way for your readers to get to know you more and for you to get some personal insight on other fellow crafters and blogger friends. If you decide to write up a list of random facts about yourself, please be sure to leave me a comment and let me know, because I would love to read it!
