The other night I was playing around with my mac using iMovie and I made this video which I tried to put on YouTube but I got an error message so I thought it hadn't been uploaded. I had stayed up to 1:00 AM on a weeknight doing this so it was really frustrating when it wasn't working. This morning I got a comment from someone who saw it on YouTube and reads my blog! I had no idea it was even on YouTube! Of course, I had to sneak my kids into this (the dog too) and it was a challenge to get them in at just the right moment in the lyrics but I did it! So here is my first iMovie...

Wow Cindy! Great job - you are far ahead of me on iMovie. I love that you underscored with "In My Life" - its the perfect backdrop for your lovely home, your children and your dog.
Loved it.
Love it! Hope to see another iMovie from you. Maybe a furniture make over with the before and afters. Glad you sneaked in the pictures of the kids.
Beautiful! What a wonderful life, thank you for sharing your home & family.

Great job!!

Hi Cindy, You did an amazing job on the video.Everything looks very romantic!
That was fun to watch! Thanks for sharing.
That was beautiful...love the movie. Your home is so gorgeous and what a lovely family.
That was so beautiful! I loved seeing your home and your kids. You did such a great job:>)
This is so cool! What a fun idea! I think you need to do a tablescape on iMovie. :0}
Cindy, I was a single mother for 10 years and that is the absolutely perfect song for you to choose. I sure hope you are including yourself in the "I love you more" part. Beautiful photographs and perfect timing with them and the song.
Thank you for sharing. I love it!

Great job Cindy!! I never heard that song before, but perfect for this show. I made a movie for my kids about 6 month ago and know how much work it is and how you can get caught up in this and stay up till 1 am...lol
Incredible! I love your movie. It was fun to see your home as it 'moved' from place to place. What a treat. I loved the pictures of the kids and your cute little dog. Hope you do more movies to share.

You are a creator of Beauty. I have been inspired by you to do more thrift shopping and gardening. I haven't been to the mall in ages! But you should see some of the treasures I've found here lately from my treasure hunts. Thanks for giving me courage...
Good job! I loved it!
Cindy, you are too much! What a great job you did and I must tell you that you are an inspiration to all of us. I love reading your blog each day. Keep up the good work, we all love your super ideas.

Hi Cindy,
I really enjoyed watching your movie! You have a beautiful home with so many pretty accessories. I love the way you have paid attention to every little detail.
Have a great day!

Wow! I'm impressed! It would take me a year to figure out how to do that! You did a great job!!! Very fun to watch.
Shannon
Oh, that was wonderful! You did a really nice job on the video! Thanks for sharing!.
The exact same thing happened to me on YouTube with my Mac, sweet chickadee! Sheeesh, it was frustrating. But you did a good job.
I'm almost through with my remodel but could use some hints on the placement on plant shelves of 2 old garden gates. I'll post pix on my blog tonight for tomorrow to show if you'll take a look and give me some tips, I'd just LOVE it, chickee babe!
Smoochies,
Connie
Cindy, What a wonderful job!! Perfect song. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and home. Can't wait to see whats next!!! Suzanne
And may I have the envelope please? For the best documentary of a beautiful, romantic home: The winner is.... YOU!

Cindy, you did a fantastic job! That is my favorite Beatle's song. You house and family are lovely. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Laurie
Wow! Great imovie!! I love the song, the pics. (Especially with the kids photos) I never would have thought of putting an imovie to a romantic home blog. Again, great job! Looks beautiful :)
jill
You did a nice job on your first movie! Your home is lovely.
God bless.
Great job Cindy! Your place is so relaxing and beautiful. That is so neat that you made that!
Cindy, I loved it! I actually turned up my volume to listen to the music, which is a major thing for me! Okay, where do I go to nominate this motion picture for a category... I sure wish they'd put you on HGTV and have you travel the country decorating fellow bloggers homes!
Brenda
Love your movie - beautifully done. You are so talented.
Glenda/MidSouth
Great Job! And amazing how much you can fit into two minutes! Inspiring ...
Well that turned out well.
I haven't thought of doing that. Just another great inspiration.
Hope you had a great weekend and finished your chair.
Ciao
That was so much fun to watch! You did such a good job putting the music to the video. If you film your next project, we can watch your work step-by-step. Thank you for sharing!
This is really neat. I've made movies with iMovie and put them on DVD but never on U Tube. I'll have to try that sometime. It's so much fun to play around on the computer and see what I can come up with but my, it sure takes a lot of time. Good thing I'm not working now.
thats really cool
i read your blog daily
brenda
Cindy, What a beautiful surprise. I normally don't look at your blog on Sunday, because I think you take the weekend off. I was so thrilled to see that you did post today and my what a beautiufl job you did.
Thank-you so much,
ginger
All I can say is... WOW... beautiful!
Great movie - I loved it!
Very nice! Lovely choice of soundtrack.
You did a great job Cindy ! I really enjoyed it .
I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely movie. Your home is gorgeous. Loved seeing your children and your little dog. Your talent just shines.
OMGoodness! What a neat thing! What will we all do when you move to Hollywood and leave your beautiful little apartment! :)
What will you come up with next!?

Congratulations Cindy, great job! What a beautiful home you have made.
I love it! Made me smile.
Hi Cindy :)
That was great!! I'm so impressed, because I could have never figured that out. Taking pictures and loading them onto the computer was a stretch for me LOL
Beautifully done :)
hugs,

How fun. I can see why it took so long. There are just way to many fun things to do with photos these days.
Thanks for showing this one. I don't have a MAC so I don't think I can do these but I sure would try if I did.
Hugs,
Joanne
Wow, that is so cool Cindy, great job!!! I wouldn't even know how to begin to do that.

you have such a wonderful talent for making your home a wonderful place to relay and retreat too. maggie
Cindy, This was just fabulous....I love it. Great choice of music too. And, I can see the apples didn't fall far from the tree...your kids are as gorgeous as you are!!! Pat
Cindy, this is wonderful!!!! I love it, and loved seeing your sweet children and pup in the movie too! Everything is so gorgeous in your cottage . . . reminds me of my Victoria magazines ~ xxoo, Dawn
That was real cool. Your pictures are beautiful.
Great job Cindy; another talent to add to your impressive resume. Do you remember that TV show "Providence"? That was the theme song and they lived in the neatest house on the East Side ( Of Providence). Just reminiscing .
Janet
Oh, Cindy, I'm almost in tears! This was so beautiful and that song! This is one of my favorite Beatle songs and I actully used it as one of my note songs not long ago. Your home is so beautiful and I appreciate you taking the time to share this with all of us. Only one thing...where were you? lol
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Loved, loved, loved the movie. Your decorating talents are so awesome. Your home is so pretty.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog and this movie! How weird, but I just knew the song you were going to play before it even started! What a great job - but you have great subjects!
That was perfect! That's one of those movies I could watch again and again! LOL. I loved it!

How adorable. I am glad that it worked. Computer programs can be so frustrating...and wonderful at the same time!
Cindy...it's Beautiful!!!
Between the song and all the great photos of your wonderful home, I got all teary-eyed the first time I watched this. In addition, I've watched it several times on the full screen mode, where the photos fill my entire computer monitor, and it's breathtaking. Beautiful, just beautiful, Cindy!
Cindy, that is awesome! So much fun! You home looks AMAZING! And I love that you were able to include your kids and little Beau. Cute!
xoxo,
Mary
Pretty cool! I swear your dog looks just like mine!
Good job. That was wonderful. You did a fantastic job you should be proud and including your family was perfect.
My speakers aren't hooked up right now but I loved seeing the beautiful images of your lovely home.
Love it! Everybody's dream home! Great idea to make a video for everyone to drool over!! ; )
love the video. Do you have a trial version of the program or did you buy it?
The movie turned out great. I love the pics of your kids.

Nice job. Your place is so pretty.
Isn't this cooooool!
Love that song and your movie. Looks like a spread out of Victoria magazine!
Hi Cindy, I'm the one who commented on your video on youtube, I typed in your blog name in the search button and your video popped up, I loved it, I love all your stuff, I can only dream and hope that one day I will have a home that will look like yours!
I'm looking forward to seeing lots more!!

I'm setting here clapping.....no, I really am. Bravo! You rock girl. What an amazing year you are having. There seems to be no limits to your gifts.
You have inspired me to go and get the movie my Daughter-in-Law made for me and try to post it on YouTube.
