My Romantic Home @ Christmas ~The Movie

Pin It Now!



I made a little movie with my Christmas decorating photos using iMovie on my mac.  The quality of the photos is not so good though...it was fine on my mac and then when I uploaded it to YouTube it lost resolution.  


I need to go out and finish up some last minute Christmas shopping today!  Every year I tell myself I'm not going to wait until the last minute but I always seem to be out there with all the other last minute shoppers!

Oh Cindy,what great taste you have and Dean Martin too! I just love that man. What a voice, I've been playing him too for the holidays and so did my Mother before me. I bet you had fun with the movie. Good job. I just completed my home tour on my blog. What fun. Stop by and take a look and wishing you a Merry Christmas.

Oh Cindy, that is so much fun! I have a mac, but I've never tried imovie... now I'll have to give it a whirl, but after the holiday because I'm doing that last minute thing, too. LOL

How fun and what a great way to keep track of how you decorated this year. Very nice!

Thank you for being so kind as to show us every inch of your beautiful apt this year.

I just don't know how you are going to be able to top it for next year. I always wonder what you will blog about each day as I always think your place is perfect as it is. Then you move things around or buy something new, put something together and before you know it we have another wonderful and beautiful post from you.

Merry Christmas!

Hugs,
Joanne

Patty said...

Hello, This is my first time to leave a comment. First, I love, love, love your blog and really enjoyed the Christmas video. I do have a request. After the holidays, would you show how you store all your beautiful glass ornaments and your other Christmas goodies. I know you have to be excellent at putting things away and the info would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas, Patty

Cindy said...

Patty, I hope you check back here! I am the worst person when it comes to organization. My house is clean but just don't open any closets!!! I just wrap my ornaments in tissue paper and put them in huge plastic bins and they get stored outside in a storage closet (which is also a big mess)! I do have old boxes that my vintage ornament came in and I put those in the big storage bins also. If anyone saw my closets they would be horrified! I clean them out a couple times a year but they never stay clean!

Terri Steffes said...

Cute idea!! I enjoyed the music and the fab photos!

Tricia said...

That was wonderful and so encouraging to my Christmas spirit.

It looks great! Have a wonderful Christmas!

Hi Cindy!
I am going to say the silver dish with the shells... But honestly I loved them all. Your camellias are beautiful! Our roses are blooming right now and look so beautiful in the yard (and in a vase!)
The movie was awesome, I didn't think the resolution was too bad.

CINDY, WATCHING THE VIDEO WAS DELIGHTFUL! YOUR GETTING BETTER BY THE MOMENT..LOOKING BACK WHEN YOU STARTED OUT UP UNTIL NOW ITS LIKE 'WOW'. I HOPE I PROGRESS IN THE SAME FASHION.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
