I can't believe I'm doing this....

No, seriously. Words cannot describe how much I don't want to do this. But for the love of a few awesome chicks, and also my need to not feel left out, or like a wuss....I am succumbing to the pressure.

I'm joining in with the monthly Vlog hosted by Mamarazzi and Shawn.

Photobucket

I've always known I hated my voice. Ever since the very first time I heard it play back on an answering machine message. But now I also get to see that not only do I have a super annoying voice, but I also do weird things with my mouth while I'm talking. And also make weird smacking noises before starting a sentence. Oy.

All I have to say is certain people better NEVER miss another blog post of mine again, and the comments should be filled with lots of kissing up.

This month's theme is accents or dialect. We have a few instructions, including saying the flollowing list of words:

Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught, Antenna, Rootbeer, Ambulance, Museum, Milk, Orange, Apricot

So here goes nothin':

Now that I've completely humiliated myself, why don't you head on over and check out some more Vlogs? Head here or here to check it out.

Oh, and p.s. Shawn - this word wasn't on the list, but it's barbed-wire. :)

I hate my voice too! But I did this as well. I love hearing how other people sound though, you are adorable! Sometimes I call the remote the "thingy-ma-jig" with random pointing in the general direction of the television.

You are so cute! I love your voice! {But I hate mine too so I completely understand!} You have an accent! I like it. It suits you.

You call the remote the POWER? Bwhahahahahahaha! Love that!

Good job! You grew some girlballs! And who is bullying you? Give me names and I'll take care of them. *wink, wink*

I haven't watched your video yet, before I do I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you for doing this and that I love you!

Off to watch and listen.

Oh, and for the record I smack before and after each sentence!

I was peer pressured too! You did great. I was so nervous I had to have my sippy cup of wine with me the whole time.

You have a fine voice. We say all our words the same. California got to you too didn't it? I had to forgo my pop saying ways too.

Shawn said…
I did not bully you!

I think you're precious and I see no extra chins!

I think we sound the same...no accent for either one of us. Oh, wait we do say apricot differently.

Ladies & Gentlemen, you're so official!

I love "the power" how true is that?!!?

Thanks for playing, I know you were nervous but you did fabulous!

Barbed-wire...you were supposed to add that to your list so I could learn how to say it properly!

I make a smacking sound too, except that i didn't really hear yours. You look adorable in your pig tails! I love your voice and I am even more jealous that MiMi got to meet you. :(

I love that you call the remote The Power. So true.

I like your voice. But I hate my own, so I guess we are all our own worst critics.

You did great and you look awesome!

You're like a professional vlogger! Seriously! I love your voice...you're so adorable! I love you. Wish we could sit on the couch and chit chat.

We say a lot of the same words! I thought there might be some differences, but not really.

P.S. Your pigtails are SO cute!

A couple of years ago I read a post of yours about SYTYCD. You got me hooked. For some reason I never wandered back to your blog. Here I am now. Following!

I *think* that was you. Wouldn't that be a little awkward if it wasn't? Haha!

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...
