Tara TV

Why we can't eat on the dining room table...

     Hello!  My super talented 11 year old son made this video using his new tripod (it really helps to keep the video steady) In computer class he is learning how to make 'movie mixes'...I have no idea how he did this, but I know he would be happy to answer your questions, because mom sure doesn't know! LOL! He even uploaded it for me  I love how he put music to it, sped up the film, and made it look like an old time movie in a sepia tone, complete with the old time look of a reel...lines jumping, etc..(also glad there is no sound on this one because at one point my husband walks in and I tell him "don't just stand there, get to work!") This was filmed one night when we were doing the second batch of orders, since then, my poor dining room has been overwrought in Wriskey's, you can't even walk in there anymore!

  Enjoy!  I know he would love your feedback!~xo

Shameless Plug! Wriskey Business...

     Well we did it! The Wriskey site is set to launch TOMORROW! YAY!  Although it won't be 100% fully stocked, it's about 95% ish and I think we are ready to go...so here is my shameless plug on "Tara TV"! I'm wearing a tee shirt from the new clothing line, this tee is called Crown Me...(over the top advertising, I know)..lol...but we worked so hard to bring you the best!  Ok, I think I said "umm" about 78 times in this...it's SO hard not to, I don't even realize I'm doing it.  I apologize "umm"... in advance! Hope the sound & quality is better than the last video blog too.  Let me know what you think, and I'll see you at the Wriskey site tomorrow, thank you all for hanging in there with me on this and being so patient~ xo

Just Rambling...

     Thanks for the cool comments on the blabby video post!  We'll work on making it more audible (hello? couldn't hear a thing) and more interesting topics...less rambling... more light, more fun.  That was just a test run. (I'd say it was very raw footage..or film lying on the cutting room floor?) We'll jazz it up, especially for you...after all, you are the best bloggers around and deserve first class video posts.  I named the last post "Sunday Night Live", but it would be cool to do it each week?  Not sure, Sunday nights here at our home have a fun relaxing ritual...we cook up a great dinner, turn the TV off , play a board game (usually it's 'Trouble' ) and then we make the kids homemade milkshakes (with extra chocolate syrup).  It's something they look forward to each week (and takes their minds off of going back to school the next day!) I wonder if that would make a good video post?  We'll see.  Whatever you want, just let me know!

     Love the photo above, so serene, makes me want to just curl up, rest and read a book. (or better yet, fall asleep reading a book)  I'm not sure where it's from, it's been on my computer for a while.  I may need to crawl into that picture asap...lots of Wriskey business going on around here..."soon" is approaching fast!  Combined with a few trips we have planned for business and I'm feeling tired and excited at the same time.  One trip that is strictly for fun that I'm really looking forward to is the tropical getaway in March... BahamaMama here I come!  I can feel the sand and sun now...excuse me while I go jump into that picture above and dream away for a while, be back in a bit!~xo

Tara TV? Sunday Night Live!

     Hold onto your seats...we are testing out a talky "blabby" sort of a post.  My son got a new camera and we tested out the video setting ...so here I am fresh out the car still unloading my bags and talking about some more finds from yet another trip to Home Goods with my sister (she refused to be on camera!)  Speaking of bags, please ignore the ones under my eyes...we were out late the night before at our niece's Sweet 16 birthday bash, dancing the night away.  (part of the birthday bonanza month I talked about here) Anyway,  I hope to do more of these, and since we have a little Martin Scorcese film director on our hands, we may not have a choice?  Some things we will have to talk to the technical crew on set about is the audio- ACK!  I hate my voice to begin with but it's a little hard to hear so PUMP UP THE VOLUME on your computers!   Also need to ditch that "remix" sign!  And my son told me I said "umm" too much and scratched my head a lot!LOL! Hope you enjoy.. this is just a test run, but our director has lots of things plans for his Mom's blog readers, I know he won't disappoint you!~xo
