Friday Finisher 2/10/17

Published: Feb 10, 2017 · Modified: Apr 22, 2019 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

So how about that snow, my Northeast friends? Wednesday was 55 degrees (by no means "warm") bright and sunny, and then BAM snow and freezing temperatures overnight! Is this what global warming is...? Pretty crazy and just when we think we're in the clear from winter, we get an ugly reminder that Spring is still pretty far away. And Summer? I wish! I'll take it though, things could be a lot worse! At least it cleared up yesterday afternoon and the sun was shining! I always love that after snow sun that comes out and makes everything so bright from the reflections off the snow! Makes me want to play in the snow like a little kid...but I'll pass and stay inside with some hot chocolate!

So if you did have an extra day off yesterday, I hope you used it well! This weekend I'll be prepping a fun Valentine's Day treat for my family and just catching up on any odds and ends. I've also made a firm (very firm) goal for myself to "try" shooting my first recipe video by the end of February. I think I can do it. It's simple and already on the blog, so no stress there, but I'm thinking this will be the perfect one to try it on! Wish me luck 😉

Happy weekend and enjoy this week's Friday Finisher!

    I feel bad for you all in the Northeast! I have family in Boston and I can't believe the pictures they posted from yesterday! Here in Southern Ca, it was 80 degrees yesterday and today it's supposed to only be in the 60s and rain!

    Love all the links ... as always! Good luck with your first video. The first one is tough so give yourself lots of time. They do get much easier as you get used to the process. You've got this! Let me know if you need any tips. 🙂

        I don't have an extension arm yet for my tripod so I shoot all my overhead shots with one tripod leg fully extended and held in place with a vice. Then I lower the front two so the camera can face straight down. It's not pretty, but it works!
