Hello There!
I just finished up a two day collaboration with some amazing crafters on Facebook. It was all paper crafting but many different aspects of it. For my part I did bible journaling tags on day one and on day two I showed some easy ways to make journal covers.
I want to say it was a fun experience but it was my first time doing Facebook live videos like this and to an audience that is not my family and close friends. It was scary y'all. It is never easy putting yourself out there and then when you do things like: Day One - was late because I couldn't figure out how to get the live going in a group and had to switch from my page profile to my personal profile. And Day Two - talked for a FULL FIVE MINUTES before realizing that I NEVER PUT A MIC ON!!!!!! And then there were things on both days like my overhead camera zooming in and out of focus and my new camera being horribly grainy, that was a waste of money. But live is live and done is done right. Would I have preferred to pre-record, yup, was that an option this time, nope, did I learn valuable lessons 100% YES! Always, set up a live before actually trying to go live, day one lesson, and always do a mic check, day two lesson. And not that anyone saw this part, but once you close out the live, make sure to turn you recording session off, lol. My recording had to be way cut down to post on YouTube because I was so disappointed in the live that I forgot, lol.
But you know what was really cool in the whole thing? Everyone was so kind and supportive! THOSE are my kind of people. People who were so gracious with my shortcomings. People who made me feel like it's ok, I can do this again if the opportunity arises. These are the kind of people I love. At any rate, I will link them here. Edited of course because I don't want to relive those five silent moments of hands talking, lol.
I hope to post my goodies tomorrow ❤️
