It's been a while since I offered some blog candy and since I need a favor I decided to offer up some goodies 🙂
My blog candy includes: Punched Posies stamp set, Ikea jar with ribbon, a Chic Stand, Assortment of Satin Ribbon, Monogram post it notes (leftover from Convention), the box I made yesterday on UStream, the card I've made twice on UStream 🙂 ….you know testing the set up….. and a cute little stamp that says from our house to yours.
If you were able to tune in during my Live Stream…..I have a dilemma and I need your help. If I want better quality filming…..it flickers because the camera is always adjusting itself. If I go with lower quality …it speaks for itself. If you compare the Owl Halloween Box I made on Saturday to the Wicked Fun Square Box I made yesterday ….which do I use? I have one more thing I can change but I'm not sure we'll ever get to the level of perfection (streaming live is complicated!!). Click here to go to my UStream channel.
Let me know what you think…especially if you've watched them 🙂
I'll draw the winner tomorrow afternoon after my Live Stream (I want to give them a chance to win as well).
Here's some Q & A's:
- Q: Are you going to stop doing You Tube videos?
- A: No way! Just adding something new….I love trying new things!!
- Q: Why are you streaming instead of You Tube?
- A: Streaming Live allows us to talk with each other as I'm making the project. There's no editing going on….it's all live. To be honest …it's been a total blast. Yesterday the recording ended in 11 minutes but we talked for at least an hour & 1/2.
- Q: Why can't I enlarge the screen?
- A: I have no clue…I've worked on it too…if you enlarge it the screen becomes fuzzy.
- Q: Why can't I post a comment?
- A: UStream is a complicated site…it has some issues but I've looked at others and it seems to be the best for now. They are making improvements, so that's good. If you can't comment….sign out….and sign back in…try that a few times. You may also want to clear your cookies and restart your computer. If you watch a lot of videos…they are all sitting in your temporary internet files and you need to delete them.
- Q: Are you going to post a schedule?
- A: For now I plan to stream at noon on Saturdays…I may throw a chat in on Friday evenings but the rest will be short notice. I fly by the seat of my pants most of the time and if I try to create a schedule I will more than likely disappoint you ….does that make sense? Here's an example…in the month of June (or maybe it was May) I was in a funk and totally lacked creativity…so if I had to produce something when I'm in a funk….it's take the fun out of it.
I hope that answers most of your questions…if not let me know. If I receive any new ones I'll update this post with a red font so it's easy to see.
Updated August 22nd
Congrats Debbie West….you won the blog candy!!
The next three people have won a Free Chic Stand:
I love, love, love your Ustream Live. It is so much fun to hear you in an unrehearsed (real) way. To see that you make mistakes too, makes me feel soooo much better.
I did not notice any problem with the 2,4,6,8 box, with the owl stamp. I did notice some hesitation with the belly band box. I love watching your videos and UStream — and all your 3D projects. I don't often get to watch the live broadcasts, but watching the replays allows me to stop to take a note and then go again. Thanks for your time!
I watched both and thought the owl box was the best. However I didn't notice any flickering, I must have been so intent on watching and listening! LOL!! Angie, you are such an inspiration to so many. As always, thank you so much!!!!
Have a great Friday and I'll see you tomorrow!
I was live with you yesterday and I watched the 2, 4, 6, 8 Halloween Box with the owl punch again just now. I think the owl box is better. I didn’t see any flickering.
I think the flickering isn’t bad enough to make me stop watching!! You’re a huge source of info and inspiration and I greatly appreciate all you do for us! =)
Thanks and keep ’em coming!
First of all I LOVE the idea of you telling us what we need to make it along with you! Brillant!
The higher quality is probably the best way to go. I’d think it would begin to get better as technology increases.
Good Luck!
I loved the whole thing, the flickering did not bother me, I was so into watching and listening. love the box and u make it so simply.
thanks for being such an inspiration.
Angie, I think the Saturday UStream with the Owl Box was the best. But nothing will keep me from watching. My daughter is sooo excited that she will be able to watch this Saturday too! You’re the best! : )
Debbie
Streaming sound so much fun and being able to work alongside you is really cool.
In tecnology, better quality is always is a must.
Good Luck
I have totally enjoyed watching the live streams, unfortunately, I have to watch them later as they are blocked from my web page for some reason. Anyway, when i do watch them I don’t notice the flickering. I also love the fact that you are posting what we need to work with you. That adds a whole new dimension to it.
Thanks again,
Cindi in Ok
I do like watch the live streams.
I think the Owl box was the best.
I enjoy all your projects tfs
Hi Ang! It was great fun streaming with you and I had the best time! I didn’t notice any flickering at all!! Thank you for posting what we’ll need on Sat., I will def. have it ready and play along. You are so inspiring so while watching, you just want to start inking up. I just picked up my giant order with all the new colours so I’m so excited to get started. You have done a fab job getting this all together for us! As always, thank you so much!!!! (And I wasn’t bragging, but I did recommend the oval for the ghost mouth go vertically! lol!!!)
I totally love watching you on Ustream! I dont have any problems with the flickering! looking forward to Saturday!

Watched both and enjoyed both, but the famous Santa Owl episode was better. Yesterday the picture was flickering. Not enough to have to turn it off, but it was noticable. Gathering supplies for tomorrows program!Thanks for sharing
I couldn’t join the live stream due to work issues. I did watch them later, tks for allowing me the option. The owl box is great another option for putting my candy corn for Halloween.
I prefer the better quality filming (even with flickering). It was great watching the project come together and I really loved the chat after you stopped filming. Thanks so much!
I was watching live yesterday (I was a little late, so I only saw the chat part) and didn’t notice any flickering while I was watching. I played the project part and noticed the flickering but don’t know if I did because you mentioned it. I’m not being much help, am I?
The ustream for the owl is good but darker than yesterday’s and maybe a little fuzzy.
Like somebody mentioned before, regardless of what camera you use I won’t stop watching. Thank you for sharing your projects with us!
I watched live on Saturday but watched the recorded Wicked Fun. I personally like the Wicked Fun. I didn’t notice the flickering but I was paying attention to your demo. I do like watching live though so I will try to remember to tune in this Saturday and “play” along.
nothing will keep me from watching – unless your not on
Angie – I just watched the recorded versions – I have to work out the UK times for central US so I can watch you live.
Firstly, go for the higher quality – the flickering is fine.
Secondly, I LOVE the way you create as you go along. It makes me feel as though I am right there with you in your studio. Great projects as always – and I SOOOO hope that Halloween set appears as if by magic in the UK catty on Oct 1st!
Great inspiraton as always. XXX
I just watched both, and the flickering did bother me a little, but not enough to stop watching. I have a few you tube channels that I can’t watch due to the camera’s auto focus flickering so much that it makes me start to feel sick (motion sickness?). Yours doesn’t seem to flicker as much as others. Hoping I can watch the one on Saturday live!
I watched both and thought the owl box was the best. However I didn’t notice any flickering, I must have been so intent on watching and listening! LOL!! Angie, you are such an inspiration to so many. As always, thank you so much!!!!
Flickering or no flickering, I love watching everything you make, but if you really want my opinion, the owl episode was better. Also, love the idea of being able to make the project along with you. I will be watching!
I enjoyed watching both… didn’t really notice the flickering. Great work!
I just watched the recorded streams and prefer the Wicked Fun Square Box instead. The quality was a lot better.
I don’t notice the flicker, I’m more concentrated on what you are doing, watching and learning! I really appreciate all the time and thought you put into the videos, the blog because I know it takes a lot of thought and planning!
I liked the box from yesterday with the Halloween design .
I thought the owl box stream was good, I’d keep using that one!
I watched your first live ustream and i thought it was great. I would prefer a higher quality rather that a lower quality. I will try to be sure and watch for your next video. Thanks!
Watched both. Prefer the Halloween Box stream. Flickering is distracting. I think it’s wonderful that you are willing to try something so “real” with your many students (“fans”)! Bravo!!!
I’m a daily visitor to your website because you always inspire me to try something new! Thank you!
I didn’t watch them live but had no problem with flickering. Glad to hear that you’re trying new things. Thanks.
Hi Angie,
I think the Halloween box, your first video was much better. (the quality of the video) Cute projects, thanks for sharing. 🙂
Hi Angie,
I was with you yesterday and had a BLAST!!!!! I love UStream and the flickering isn’t bad enough to make me stop watching. It was so fun chatting with you and the rest of the ladies.
Great work, as always
Colleen (a.k.a. Sassyscrapper1)
I watched both live and I must say I liked the Owl Box video quality better. When I watched the box – it flickered, which I could deal with but it also stopped several times like it was buffering the video while it was live. I could hear audio but the picture froze and I got a little spinning timer thingy. I will still tune it no matter what choice you make – it has been so great to watch and participate. Thanks so much for sharing so much with us! — YoungInker
Hi Angie,
Love watching you and your projects. They are always great!
I say higher quality. The flickering wasn’t that bad. Didn’t make me want to stop watching at all.
Hi Angie…I LOVED it all! I was so excited to be able to watch you and see all the comments and to hear you answer them as they came in…FAB! I like the Owl Box too…they were both CUTE! All your projects are sooo neat…can’t wait to see what else you have for all of us…you are AWESOME! Keep ’em coming…TFS..Have a GREAT weekend!
I watched all 3 projects live, I had the most fun with the Santa Owl 🙂 I noticed no flickering and the quality of the video yesterday (Wicked Fun Square Box) was great and lighting was better too! Looking forward to Saturday’s class, going to bring a friend along this time to watch.
I love that you are doing UStream videos. I have only watched them recorded though. I don’t see the flickering, plus the quality is not that much different. Thanks for the inspiration!
The Owl video was definitely better quality. The flickering during the Wicked video didn’t bother me. The Wicked video seemed darker. Either way, they were enjoyable!
Watched it earlier this morning. Did see the flickering. I can put up with flickering as long as you can put up with me :).
I enjoyed both of your videos..it’s so much fun to bounch ideas around with you!! You are very engaging! Owl box is the way to go. Plan on watching you on Saturday too…THANKS!!!
Mary-imacrafty1-
I didn’t notice the flickering in the Owl Box video but definitely noticed it in the Wicked Fun box video and it was a little distracting. I think the quality of the video for the Owl Box was just fine and it would be OK to stick with that! (jmo–that’s what you wanted, right?!!)
Go with the HD! 🙂 Love your videos, your site, and all of your ideas. I check in DAILY, and you’re the reason I’m now into sewing, too. Thanks!!
I loved the owl box — it’s fun to watch the videos and hope you do more.
I left a message on UStream also telling you what a great job you’re doing. It’s like we’re right there with you. Keep up the good work.
The better of the two ustreams in my opinion was the first one with the owl. There seemed to be a lot of flickering in the begining of the 2nd one. But either way is fine, I will definitely be watching no matter which you choose!
What an awesome thing to do! I am so appreciative of the awesome projects you post! thanks for the chance to win your candy!
hugs,
Elizabeth
I think the owl video was much better. The constant adjusting was distracting.
Thanks
I can only watch the ones later after the recording because I am military stationed over seas. I love them anyway and can not wait till I get to watch them as they are happening. TOTALLY love the blog candy and LOVE LOVE LOVE your work.
I’ll be checking out your live ustream. THANKS, for a chance to WIN the blog candy !!
I love that you are doing ustream now and that you gave a supply list for tomorrow! I think the better quality is the way to go. I will watch which ever way you choose to go. Thanks for all the great ideas!
I just started watching your videos, and reading the blog, my daughter got me started. I watched both the videos, and I liked the owl box better. The camera adjusting was making me sick, I couldn’t watch much of it.
Thanks for all the great ideas!
Patty
I thought the first USteam with the owl box was fine. I was probably concentrating on your voice and the project, rather than the flicker.
I did not notice any problem with the 2,4,6,8 box, with the owl stamp. I did notice some hesitation with the belly band box. I love watching your videos and UStream — and all your 3D projects. I don’t often get to watch the live broadcasts, but watching the replays allows me to stop to take a note and then go again. Thanks for your time!
Angie,
I watched both and I have to say that better is always a goog thing.I was enjoying watching you make the wicked fun box and chatting with all the ladies.Brightened up my day.Stayed on the whole time until you said bye.Cant wait until tomorrow.
Thanks!
I tuned in at the last minute of one of your videos. I was having some technical problems on my end. I enjoyed watching the dialogue as things progressed. I”ll try and be at the next one : )
Thanks for the chance to win blog candy!
i like the owl one better. thank you for your videos they are so helpful! 🙂
I watched both videos which I thought were fantastic and didn’t notice any flickering. I was thinking maybe it was because it was a re-broadcast and not a “live stream” that it was excellent. I am tuning in tomorrow and will compare it to the “taped version.” I like that you added the supply list. Like you, I have a Halloween brain and the weather here in Cali is not conducive to Christmas thinking! Thanks again for all your hard work.
The flickering does not bother me, I was to focused on what you were doing. I also love how you can chat with everyone, it keeps it interesting. I forward to Saturday and many more to come:) Thanks!!
Thanks for this chance to win!! I prefer the higher quality even with a little flickering.
Can’t wait for your next video. Love your projects!!
Hi Angie,
I watched all of your u-stream videos and the flickering was noticable but not enough to make me stop watching. I did notice the lighting was better on one than the other, I believe the owl/christmas one and the flickering less on owl than the wicked box. Love all the wonderful inspiration. Thank you for sharing!
I didn’t have any problem watching with the flickering. It’s great to watch you live. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for the CUTE card demo. I think the higher speed and flickering is not necessary. No everyone has high speed computers or lines, so I would choose the best one that works for the majority – without flickering if possible. Just my opinion. I am just so happy that you are doing the videos. I really liked when you had them on your webpage because there weren’t any commercials and ads like there are on UTube, but I will take them any way you do them, sweetie!! Keep up the good work!!
I think that they were both good, but the quality on the owl notepad I thought was better. Thank you for sharing! =D
I have not been able to watch them live but enjoyed them all. I will try to have my supplies ready so I can join you on Saturday LIVE. Have a great weekend!
The flickering didn’t bother me – I loved your videos and all the other things you share on your blog. Your projects are wonderful. Thanks for all you share. GlendaJ
Ok, I viewed both completely. First off, the quality of the video portion itself is better on the Owl, however; it is a bit to dark. Not so dark you have a hard time following, just darker than the fun square. The lighting on the fun square seems to flicker. I do believe thats what is causing your camera to readjust. Try moving the lighting fixture around so that movement from your body does not differ the light from the camera ausing the self adjust to happen. A worklight (not the really bright ones) on the front part of your table would probably help. I think you would be fine with the camera you have, I truely believe you need to play with the light. If you really watch closely, the flickering happens with the camera adjust at the same time there is a change in the lighting. Hope this helps.
Love the uStream!! Don’t love the flickering, but it won’t stop me from watching!!
I absolutely love your site!
After watching the videos, I think the owl box is better. I didn’t like how the other video was moving so much.
Thanks for everything!
I love this new tool you are using! They are great. I like that we can ask questions while you are working. Great job
I’m going to go with the owl project as I had no problem watching it (the quality). I think that higher quality wins:-) This was so much fun. Thank you for taking the time to post such wonderful things that inspire me so.
I loved the owl box! The flickering does not bother me. It is so great to see all the wonderful things you come up with. I check your blog daily!
I enjoyed watching you and being able to create with you. The flickering was not that noticable. Thanks for all the cute projects
Watched the first one I believe. Laughed as you tried to be organized. Looked like the way I stamp. Great you’re wanting to try new ways to share your talent. Quality is good. Thanks.
First of all I just want to thank you for trying live videos….I a such a visual learner….I am really bad a following written directions. I watched both videos and I thought the wicked cool video was way clearer. (Sound and video) It didn’t bother me when it flickered slightly.
thanks again for all of your hard work!!!
take care,
Debbie
The owl box was good
Hello Angie, I have watched both UStream videos and the 2nd one (higher quality) shows the colors and images more clearly. However, I will watch whichever you decide to post!
Thanks,
I hope this helps…
Have a great weekend!
I think the higher quality is the way to go.
The owl box worked stream worked best for me.
I willing to follow where you lead. I have never tried streaming, but I am willing to give it a try. Thanks for all you do.
I watched both videos and liked the Owl one better. I really didn’t notice any flickering on the Owl video. Both videos were great. I really enjoyed them. Thanks!
It flickered a little bit but it certainly will not stop me from watching you create a masterpiece! 🙂
I really enjoyed watching your Ustream videos. The owl box was the best video quality. All your projects are wonderful. I really appreciate the great ideas for giving gifts.
I am just so happy that you take the time to share your creativity, I will take whatever is easier for you!! Love your ideas!!!
I love that you’re doing live streams and was able to join you last Saturday for the owl box. I didn’t see the Witch box yesterday, but I did find the flickering in the video distracting. The quality was a lot better, but the flickering did bother me. Like others said, though, not enough to keep me from watching! I do prefer the owl video, though, even with the lower quality.
All your projects are so cute!
I watched you live last Saturday and I have to say that I enjoyed watching you craft like the rest of us…by the seat of your pants! It was fun watching your thought process. I think the quality was fine in the 2, 4, 6, 8 box stream, but better quality is always a bonus. I am hoping to watch you live again tomorrow. I really love your blog and your ideas!
The live ustream is great! It’s nice to be able to interact with you and see you doing the project in real time. Can’t wait for the next one.
Hi Angie, I’m leaving another message here to be entered for the blog candy. I prefer the higher quality video, but will be thrilled with whatever you choose. Can’t wait for tomorrow!
I had no problems watching, even enlarged to full screen. It wasn’t fuzzy and I didn’t notice any wiggles. Love it and looking forward to more.
I thought the owl box/bag stream was smoother but both were fine. The owl bag was the cutest thing I have seen!! I liked the box but the little trick or treat owl bag is so unique. It definitely has my vote!!
I couldn’t join you live, but have enjoyed watching them later. I was so involved in watching that I didn’t notice anything wrong with the video. Love the owl box. Keep being so creative…
Hi Angie,
This is so much fun!! I really want to learn more about Stampin’ Up now!!!! The better quality video shows the detail of your hands better, making it easier for me to follow. I look forward to watching you again on Saturday.
Hugs,
Kathleen
can’t wait to see what you create next!
Hi Angie, I can’t find the owl video that you speak of, i wasnt able to tune in (even though i would LOVE to) But i did look at the witch box video, and i couldn’t handle watching it because of the camera going in and out. have you thought of maybe a different camera that wont do that? just a thought. I know here we have a camera company called “Kits Camera’s” and they are really smart about these things, if you like I can ask for you.
Inky Hugs,Cristena
Thanks for all the time that you are putting into all of this! I thought the owl box was the best – didn’t really see all the flickering and such! This is so exciting! Keep up the GREAT job!
Hi Angie,
So sorry I have not been able to catch you live but watched the recordings. I have had no problems with flickering or viewing at all. I love all your vids and can’t say enough about how much I have learned. Thanks for all you do!
Blessings,
Lysa
I love watching on ustream as well, and didn’t notice a flickering.. probably because I was enjoying watching you make the projects so much! 🙂
Sooo…oo happy you joined ustream, seeing you in more forums is a good thing for all of us. I preferred the higher quality version when I watched the recording fullscreen. Like so many others have stated, I’d watch you either way. Your are a joy to craft with, thank you for sharing your projects with us. See you on Saturday!
Hi Angie! I viewed both videos and I liked the Owl Box settings. The Wicked box flickering was too distracting to me. I was able to follow along with the lower quality Owl box just fine.
Great job and thanks for being innovative and courageous enough to try LIVE videos!
I didn’t notice the flickering either. Loved the projects. Thanks for what you do.
I have watched both the Halloween Owl Treat Bag and the Spooky Box videos and enjoyed them both greatly. I believe that the first one you did seemed to be of better quality but really don’t think that any of the slight flickering or lighting in the Spooky box video was enough to cause distraction from your wonderful tutorial. We can see what you are doing at all times and can understand and hear you very clearly throughout both of the videos at all times and that’s what really matters, right? Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity with us all!
I have not been able to join you live but I have gone and watched all of your Ustream videos and they are great. I just enjoy watching you and your laughing at yourself. I do this to myself all the time.
Sue
Hi Angie. I love both of your projects but if I have to pick one, it would be the owl box. I like the shape of it. 🙂 You are such an inspiration to me and I am so grateful to know you. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Also, thank you for the chance to win your amazing blog candy. Talk to you soon, Jenny L 🙂
I watched both of the videos Angie. Although I loved them both, I liked the wicked fun box more. The quality was better and I only noticed the flickering after you mentioned it. Once again, beautiful work!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I will be sure to use the wicked box at my next Demo, (of course I will give credit where credit is due). Thanks again!!
I find the ustreamhard to watch…not sure why. It is also hard to remember to adjust for the different time zones..what a pain. I love your stuff and learn alot from your videos so I will learn to embrace ustream…I guess.
Angie, I think I agree, the owl box Ustream video was the best. I think better quality always wins.
The owl segment was much easier on the eyes! I am getting over a migraine, so the Halloween segment was a little hard on the eyes. although I LOVE the halloween box and can’t wait to try it! Thank you for all you do and really caring what all of us in cyberland think!!
both were fine, but i’d go for the higher quality. thanks for all the great inspiration 🙂
I didn’t get to watch either one live, but did see them. I didn’t notice anything “distracting” about either video, so maybe the issues you mentioned only apply to live? Anyhow, your projects are great and I love getting tips and ideas from you. Please keep up the videos in whatever format.
Owl box was better to me, the in and out wasn’t so bad, worse in the beginning that towards the middle and end.
angel hugs
Debby
I was so engrossed in watching both the owl box and the wicked box u-streams that I didn’t even notice the flickering!? Re-watching them just now, the wicked box stream seemed to have a more clear picture. I, along with many crafters, am a visual learner. Your videos, and now u-stream, allow me to learn to create and make so many more fun projects than I would otherwise be able to! Thank you, Angie!
Hi Angie,
I really love your tutorials! Thank you so much for your generousity in sharing all this information. I think what would really help the quality of your video is perhaps better lighting. It appears a bit dark on the screen. Could be my computer, but not sure.
Can’t wait to see more!
I watched the first one. It was okay but a little fuzzy. I had to look at your photos see the details.
Angie, I love anything u do & hearing u enjoying yourself, makes me smile & want to keep watching! I didn’t notice any flickering, as I was too intent on your demo. Thanks for all you do!
Angie – I’m loving this new format and am happy that you wll be doing both (ustreaming and youtube). Flickering? I didn’t even notice as I was enjoying watching, listening, and learning from you!!!! Thanks so much for your creativity. It’s very much appreciated! Smiles, Joanne
I thought the stream making the owl box was better. But honestly, the flickering on the other stream didn’t really bother me.
liked both and flickering didn’t bother me. but I would go with wicked fun, only ’cause that’s my favorite!
Hi Angie I liked both. I was not able to join you live, hoping for today saturday get together(join your live show). As quality goes for me both are OK. Maybe Staurday I would be able to tell a different. I started ustream last year, but couldn’t go on, at that time was very complicated.
Love your work and creativity,
Karina
Hi Angie! Flickering or no flickering I am watching anything you make! I love that you are creating “by the seat of your pants” LOL! It shows me you are human just like us! I have a hard time with creating something on my own but watching you is so much fun! I hope you continue doing this cause I love it! I can’t watch LIVE because I am at work at that time but I do watch it when I get home! Thank you for all you do I truly appreciate it!
I believe using the owl box stream is the way to go, keep using it! I also think using a higher quality rather than a lower quality is best.
I watched both videos and didnt notice any flickering. Loved both videos. Planning to watch live this evening it will be 7pm in Europe. Its fun to be able to create along with you. Thanks a million for all your work on our behalf.
Liked the quality of the owl box stream! You are a wonderful inspiration Angie!!!! Thank you and than you for the chance to win!!!!!!
Hi Angie
I haven’t had a problem with the quality but maybe it is this honking big screen I have!!! I would watch even if it was blurry – I love hearing you ‘think out loud’, it makes me feel like a kindred spirit lol!
Thanks for sharing your talent.
I didn’t watch either project live, just the recorded versions. I liked the Owl box better. The Wicked Fun Box seemed to have a lot more buffering breaks. I was using the same computer and bandwidth for both. Either way, I will watch and learn. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t seem to be able to connect “live”
I am going to try again today.
First time watching ad hearing about ustream. I did not like it, hated having to listen to the advertisement before you started, the screen is so small, etc… maybe I just need to larn how to navigate my way.
Love you cute projects! I was never good at ‘Halloween Stamping’, but I see so many that I love!
The higher quality is better and the flickering isn’t that noticeable. Thanks for trying multiple ways.
I’ve watched all of your recorded streams. I really haven’t noticed a flicker. I’m more into watching what you are doing, and learning how to make them myself. I’ll try to get to one of them live. I love all of your work! Keep them coming! They are awesome! Thanks!
I didn’t think the flickering was bad and quite honestly, the fact that we can watch live stream is great in itself…I would love to win this set!! It is on my wishlist!! Keep the inspiration coming-I love it with the flickering and all!!
Loved watching you live! The flickering didn’t bother me. Go with the better quality!
I think the owl box was great and better quality. I think flickering would have to get really bad for people to stop watching your great projects. Thanks for all you do, you are an inspiration.
Thanks for offering such great products! I love the chance to watch the live stream and being able to go back and watch it late. Didn’t really notice the flickering. Keep up the great work and fun items!
I am so thankful you offer this to all of us! Bless your heart for trying to make everything perfect! If I had to choose, I would prefer the higher quality over the lower. But again, just thankful that we even have an option. And…thanks for sending us the supply list! What fun to have a virtual stamp class!
I feel like which ever you feel more comfortable doing, I will watch either way to get your great ideas! I really enjoy your videos and want you to enjoy it too!
Sandy C.
The owl box stream was the better of the two. Thanks for always coming up with great ideas and taping them to share. I am a visual learner and I love watching your videos.
I thought the owl box was maybe a little darker But I did not mind that or the flicker.
Either was just fine.
It was like 6 or 1/2 a dozen. (same thing)
I enjoyed them both.
Pam
I watched both and thought that the first one was better as it didn’t any flickering on my end. The quality looked great on both of them on my computer so I just prefer to not have the flickering because I missed words and things when it would do that. Thanks for offering these great project live streams and your other videos. It’s so great to see things being done just so nothing is confusing at all.
Love the live streams – hoping my computer cooperates better!!! Looking forward to more creative projects!
Thanks!

Angie, The candy is AWESOME! Thanks for offering it. Your blog is one I look at everyday. I love the fact that you are streaming.
I watched both with you and just for an opinion, the owl box was better. But I was so busy watching you and chatting that I didn’t notice any problems. I even felt you were in my craft area with me and when you needed google eyes I was trying to give you some of mine!
This is so much fun! Can’t hardly wait
40 minutes! I am ready!
As of now- the constant focusing of the lense makes me a little nauseated (possible side effect of morning sickness? lol!) But you deffinately get a much clearer picture! I’d say stick with the higher quality! Technology keeps getting better 🙂 Thanks for live streaming!!!
You are such a good teacher that the flickering simply isn’t noticeable! Thank you for taking the time to share in a “live” format! Not everyone would be willing to do that and you have a natural charisma that makes it so much fun!

I wasn’t able to watch them live but loved that I could watch the recorded ones whenever I could. Love the projects and can’t wait to see what’s next!
I felt today’s was better than the other two. Since I don’t have the highest speed Internet, I continue to get some delays but not as bad as watching YouTube videos. Great idea and thanks for sharing! UStream is something new to me ~ GOOD JOB!
Love the live stream
I luv it & what a great way to hold a class!!!
Just been on U Stream watching you. That was great dear and it all was perfect!!!
Hugs
Love the live shows! Watching you create is so familiar. I love seeing that process! Thanks so much for sharing your work with us!!!
Angie
I love watching you craft and it is such a good idea! You always have such great craft ideas and are always so funny. It is a pleasure to spend my Saturday with you.

loved the live feed! It was so fun and my box turned out so cute! Thanks for the chance to win
I love the Ustream…
Hey Angie…..
I think your videos are going great!! I can hear you perfectly and the flickering is not bad on my end. I am very excited for future videos…the Wicked fun square box.
I LOVE watching your Ustream live! It is SO much fun and I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do it! You’re the best!
I watched your first live stream and I loved it. I agree I would like the highter quality. Mine seemed to shutter a little. But it may have been my computer.

I love, love, love your Ustream Live. It is so much fun to hear you in an unrehearsed (real) way. To see that you make mistakes too, makes me feel soooo much better.
The owl one was better, maybe adding more light might help. Thank you for showing us such wonderful things.
Love watching your ustream live broadcasts. It is so much fun. You are the best!
I love both… videos and UStream, but the videos allow you to stop and get measurements and other particulars rather than you having to repeat measurements every time someone new comes in. I do love talking to you though. And I too hate the bud commercials but I just shut the sound off till you come on. Keep up the terrific work!
The flickering is not bad at all, i only notice with the cutter, it might a light reflection thing. When I re-watch the video I never notice the flicker at all. Maybe it’s the others person connection.
Loved watching you live and chatting with you. I wish I had your talent! Would love to win the blog candy! Thanks!
The Owl H’box stream was easier to watch, and the Wicked Fun Box was too jumpy and was distracting. Todays was the best of both to me…clear AND steady! Thanks for all the fun ideas!
Thank you Angie, I just love all your videos. I would love to win!
I’ll be with you every Saturday.
This was the first ustream I have watched – what a cute box!
Love this ideas of live broadcasts! Thanks for sharing your ideas & time. You have the best blog!!!
Watched again today (8/21). It is fun to watch it live but I’m glad you record it in case we miss it. Thanks.
I have totally enjoyed watching and your ideas. Thank you so much for your time…
hi Angie all your videos are great but i do like the first one .keep up the fabulous work you do
very cool goodies
plz enter me
Love your live ustreams! It’s lots of fun!
I had so much fun watching your live stream today! It was like a Stamping Show on TV but better 🙂
I didn’t notice a problem with the flickering.
The brightness was perfect, but as lots of people commented it was just hard to watch the coloring before you zoomed in– and when you zoomed in it was a little fuzzy.
I enjoyed it!! Will be definitely tuning in for future streams, but not next Saturday because we’ll be driving to Chicago 🙂
Having a blast creating with you live on ustream. The broadcast this week was even better and clearer then last week. Thanks for doing all of your updates. Looking forward to next Saturday already. Already programmed in to my smart phone with a reminder. LOL.
Thanks so much again.

LOVED your LIVE stream today ! Had soooo much FUN!!
Angie, Thanks for all your awesome projects! Your a highlight in my life. Love the new stream!
This was my first live stream and chat I had a blast. Thank you for being so inspirational. I can’t wait to get started on this treat box. It will most likely be the halloween treat I give my coworkers this year. Thanks again. Laurinda D
Angie, I forgot to say that I liked the HQ better! The flickering wasn’t distracting enough to bother me. :0)
I think the videos look great. I noticed it kind of hesitates, but only for a moment so no biggy. I love the Halloween treat box.
Hi Angie, I just wanted to say thank you for doing the ustream I get so excited and this last time was awsome because we got to do the project with you how great is that all these ladies form all over working with the best SUD! There was more flickering this time than when you did the first one (owl box) but I will watch no matter what!
I thought it was great! Thanks! The Owl one especially.
Anne
I checked out the videos today as I was unable to watch live. The flickering did not bother me as I was so intent on watching you. I think the higher quality is better and I think things will get better as technology progresses. I love the idea. I watch everything I can get of yours.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Angie,
I watched the ustream after the fact and giggled all the way thru it. It is so funny listening to everyones comments. I’m glad you decided on a pear box and I would use the lace even though I haven’t seen it yet (up close and personal.
Sherry
Both were good. Today was great! Had alots of fun. Did you draw yet?
They were both fine I thought. I guess that I was just enjoying you make the projects that I did not notice. Thanks for doing this it is great.
I love all that you do check your blog each and every day!! Love all your new ideas!!
I love these videos. It’s fun watching you in the process and I love that you take our comments to heart!
Love your USTREAM broadcasts. Liked the quality of today, but sometimes there was a slight delay. It was almost like the action stopped for just a few seconds and then started again. No matter what I’ll be watching! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
They look fantastic to me! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas… You are the best! I love to get your updates, just keep them coming. Paige
Love the owl the best and I love the idea of making it along with you!!!
I rather have better quality. I will be watching the next video…..
What a cute and simple little project. I can’t wait for the new holiday mini and create some of these wonderful little boxes for halloween. Thanks so much for your wonderful idea!!!!
Lovin your ustream your a fly at the seat of your pants kinda girl!! Keep them coming and I will keep watchin!!
