How to be Organized

July 25, 2017 by Debbi 2 Comments

Hi, Debbi Mack here and I’m going to talk a little bit about the importance of organizing. Now, I used to be so organized that somebody once said, “You’re so organized it’s scary.”

Continuing on to … Part 4 of the Magical Mystery Tour. From Edinburgh, we went on to London, England. And England swings like a pendulum do!

In England, the first thing we did upon arriving in London was cross the road from our hotel (which I’d been told was “posh” by two Englanders) into Hyde Park. Well, actually, it was the Kensington Gardens, but Hyde Park was nearby.

How Not to Use Your Camera to Vlog

March 30, 2017 by Debbi Leave a Comment

See that camera above? That’s how I wish I could take photos. Right now, I tend to use my Smartphone (should that be capitalized? I don’t know) to make vlogs. But, unfortunately, my phone is ~~being a dick~~ not cooperating. That gave me the brilliant idea of using my fancy (hardly used) Canon EOS 70D DSLR camera to make my next vlog.

I’d take a photo of my actual DSLR camera, except that I can’t take any pictures with my Smartphone. Anyway, the whole thing totally didn’t work out well. So, all I have to show for it is this video.

Now, having said that, I’m going to figure this out and do much better next time. Somehow or other.

So please stick with me. I promise it’ll be worth it! 🙂
