Have been busy getting the site ready for launch

We have been busy lately getting the site ready for launch. The viral video has now been completed and also the sign up page is done. It's all looking very good. Now the easy part...content for our site.! We have lots of goodies coming up. Andy has been doing most of the work with this and I must say I am very impressed with what he has done. He is feeling very energised
with the results so far.

It has been a difficult few weeks for him with getting all the research and information together to complete all that is needed for the viral video etc and sometimes he has felt very discouraged and frustrated with it..but he never gave up...Patience and Persistence, and knowing that what he is doing is going to be successful.

That is important to keep a person motivated and driving forward to the desired goal.

I finished editing a video for my mum, to introduce her to Lacey.




It's been great handling Lacey over the last week, she is progressing very well. She's a gentle giant.

The storm a couple of nights ago was amazing..it is the first week of August and we had hailstones..but that's not all they were massive.!

We never get hailstones so big. We have got pictures and video clips of the storm and will be putting it up here in the next day or so.

Relaxing Day...Got Sunburnt.!

Took Stephen and a friend to Saltdean Beach today..they weren't having much joy catching crabs today..they tried for 2 hours and not a single crab until the chef in the cafe gave him some secret delicacy to catch the crabs with...Thankyou

They caught three in the end.

Andy and I sat on the cafe veranda and watched from a distance. After 3 hours though, our faces are looking a bit cherry red.



Yesterday I, Dee spent quite a bit of time looking for bookmarking buttons to put on our blog and after some searching I found what I wanted. The bookmarking button is really great, it has all the main bookmarking sites in a neat little button, no clutter. And it was free. Success.!

Andy was working on getting software to create his own music for the viral video. Hasn't quite found what he wants yet though. But having lots of fun trying out different programs.

It has given us some great ideas for different themes and music for other viral movies in the near future.

Cooking one of my favourite meals this evening which is jacket potatoe, home made chille and mixed chopped salad,, umm can't wait to eat it.!

Boy.! What a busy few days.! - All systems go

Been playing around with techy stuff this week, getting our creative juices flowing ready for our big launch day. Photobucket is so cool, we have been registered with it for over a year now and uploaded stuff to it but had not yet done a slideshow.!

So here is one Dee, quickly put together.



It's been all systems go here the last few days. It was very simple to do. :-)

We have so many projects on the go. I, Denise has started on my new membership website and both of us have been busy working on Andy's new project.

We are almost ready to put our new viral video together, just deciding what royalty free music to purchase for it. It's great fun being creative.

It's been so much fun gathering the pictures and music for this video. Andy finished the graphics for the header of his website..it looks great.!

We've just purchased a brilliant marketing training course..so that is going to keep us busy for a while..but our mouths are watering in anticipation.

Plus Ed Dale is keeping us busy with the 30 Day Challenge..we must say Ed, that the preseason has been brilliant, so very excited about the Challenge itself.

Taking Photos & Creating Videos

Here's a small peek of our afternoon on two beaches taking photos for our new viral video coming soon.



Today we spent the afternoon on Saltdean Beach and Peacehaven Beach taking pictures and short tutorial videos for our new viral movie.

We looked at royaly free photos but decided to do our own because we couldn't quite find the pictures we wanted and we wanted to create a lifestyle that is real and personal.

The weather was just right.

One of the great things about working from home is that we can be as creative as we want and even better is that we did today's tasks as a family. Stephen our son was in on the action.

It doesn't have to be expensive to create your own movies, not like the Hollywood movies :-)

It didn't cost us the earth to find our locations, pose and shoot.
