Carnivals

I have come to a very difficult decision. Vlogemotions and Oldies but Goodies are discontinued until further notice. We have many things going on at the current time, and without proper participation have decided to cease these carnivals temporarily.

We do hope to bring them back in the future as we believe them to be very fun and exciting, not to mention a great way to communicate better with your readers.

If you liked these carnivals and would like to see them again sooner than later please leave us a comment or email and let us know.

Thanks to all of you for playing along. We have enjoyed your participation more than you know.

Love and Prayers,

Vlogemotions

Sorry this is posting so late, but things have been so crazy around here. The same reason why I am taking my first ever week off. Not to worry though as I will have a post next week.

On another note, if the participation for Oldies but Goodies doesnt go up then next week will be the last week of that carnival. So if you enjoy this fun and easy carnival let me know and help get the word out so it can continue.

For those of you first time vloggers, here are the rules:

1. Post the Vlogemotions button above to the top of your post. You can grab the code from the left sidebar.

This interview was over 30 minutes in length so I wasnt able to upload the entire thing. This is only a portion of it, and the rest you will be able to see in the coming weeks.

Make sure you watch for it as it is VERY touching!

My thanks to Tiffany and Jason for their service to our country as well as letting us share this moment with them.

If you would like to be a featured vlogger in Vlogemotions, email me. If you have already done so please send me your video by email striaght out of your camera. Please do not upload it to any sharing sites as I will need to edit it into the feature.

I will send out an email to those of you who have expressed an interest in doing this.

Now just so you know because I forgot to mention it in the video, I did a special hair bun that I learned from a new bloggy friend Jenn. If you are interested in little girl hair do's check her out. I will post some pics down below as soon as I can get them up. Thanks Jenn! You said if I did this I would have to do it for all the little girls and you were right. The teacher walked me over and introduced me to all the moms because they had made comments about Taylors hair. SOOOOO embarassing! But nice to hear I did a good job none the less. They wouldnt believe her when she told her her daddy did it. HA

Please keep our family in your prayers during this time of our loss. Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated. We will still get around to all your blogs to see your posts.

Love and Prayers,

Vlog EMOTIONS is back!

This week we will leave the themes for a while until after the features are done. We will revert back to doing our regular emotions posts, and I look forward to hearing and seeing them all!

I am having problems finding a host site that will accept a video that is around 30 minutes in length and around 8GB. If anyone knows how to get a video this big onto a blog please let me know.

The first feature is VERY patriotic and will no doubt be a tear jerker. I was hoping to have it up for this coming week being July 4th. Sad to say but it doesn't look like that will happen so we will do regular Vlogemotions until I can find a way to make this happen. I will do it, its just a matter of time. You WILL LOVE it!

Mr. Linky should be up sometime later this evening.

Until then my friends....

Love and Prayers,

Vlogemotions IX

Welcome to another week of Vlogemo! My apologies for this terrible vlog post, but I am still under some medication.

Next week there will not be a theme and we will be back to sharing our strongest emotions of the week until further notice. If you have an idea for a them PLEASE PLEASE email it to me. Even if you think its silly, it might just be genious. Some of the most silliest things are.

This weeks Vlog-emo Kids gave you a chance to sit back and relax a bit. Next weeks theme is going to push you to show your creativity and express your courage. It is Vlog-emo performances! Share with us a talent you have, do something a little out of your comfort zone. It is really fair game for what you want to do. Be creative and try to step a little more outside of your box. This will give you the chance to share with your readers a side of you that they haven't seen before. Maybe it is a passion for something that you have, or a stupid human trick? Whatever it is, this theme should make for some great Vlog posts! It will also give your readers the chance to get to know you a little better!

I am still hoping to start the Featured Vloggers series next week. This doesn't mean that I wont be participating in the theme by the way.
