Many times when my Mom and I go shopping at home décor stores like Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn or Kirklands, we catch ourselves saying “I can make that!”

And you know what? Many times we do. 🙂

I obviously got my creative gene from my Mom. Not to say that my Dad isn’t creative, but when my Mom and I spend hours upon hours in her sewing room and my Dad goes golfing, let’s just say that he enjoys other things more than he enjoys the hum of a sewing machine.

Besides sewing, let me share with you a couple of other things I love.

I love math.  I love balancing my checkbook. I love taking an idea in my head, putting it on paper and making all of the calculations to make it happen. I love organizing. I love throwing things away etc.

Now let’s go to my “I do not like” list.

I do not like cleaning. I do not like ironing. I do not like technical things.

Technology. It’s a painful word to even type. People who can zip thru creating an excel spreadsheet or other stuff like that…. (I don’t even know the lingo to make a list of technology things) …..those people amaze me. (i.e. Spencer)

Besides the photos that Spencer takes for me,  I have had to hire him to also do the technological end of my business.

But I have recently taken some baby steps to DIY  some technology “things”.

Because I am a visual learner, I am going to visually show you what I have done. Be prepared to be amazed. 🙂

Etsy has offered a video spot that can be attached to your store.

I contacted Spencer to ask if I could attach the video we had made last August. He quickly responded and sent me a link for the video. A link, ugh. How the heck do I get that linked to my shop? I knew Spencer was not going to help me. My definition of help me is  “do it for me”. His definition of help:

 Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

What would’ve taken him 30 seconds to upload, took me hours. I am not exaggerating about that. 🙂

Bottom line is that I did it. All by my little ol’ self.

Here are the results for you to enjoy. I will teach you how to find it. 🙂

That’s the video we made and it is now part of my shop!

I don’t know if I am more excited to share this video with you or the fact that I succeeded at something techy!

See you on Friday,

Wendy

Have you noticed that I have been adding these goodies at the end of the blog posts? Yep, another techy thing I was taught. 🙂
