A year of art journal videos already?
Wow, I can’t believe it has been about a year now since I first uploaded my first few art journal videos on YouTube…
Before doing that, I must admit I had been thinking about video creation for sooo long but, like most people (and you may recognise yourself here), I didn’t have enough faith in myself and I made excuses!
Yes, silly excuses…
– First, I was shy about showing my face on camera
Doing make up and hair is NOT my thing and (it’s ok, I know you noticed hahaha) and I felt a little self conscious so that’s why I warned you about that in my first episode Studio Time 1 (just so you wouldn’t have high expectations lol)
– I didn’t know how to even edit a video!
That was a biggie that made me put things off as I just couldn’t be bothered learning new software… So told myself it would be hard. As it turns out, it’s is NOT hard! Yes, it is a learning curve but all in all, I know the content is what matters the most anyway 😉
– And, I didn’t think anyone would be interested!
I ended up giving myself a kick in the butt (lil’ not very flexible me!) and just went for it. The response was unexpectedly overwhelming and positive so I went again. And again. And again lol
Now I have 57 videos on YouTube including 28 episodes of Studio Time. Not too shabby me thinks.
What keeps me going? Well,***YOU*** of course, Silly! You keep encouraging me and thanking me and making me feel like I do something useful here so it’s your own fault if I’m still around 🙂
The 4100 subscribers I now have tell me that you were interested after all and… I feel so grateful!

I love all your videos Mimi but my favourite is “Shine Bright” Studio Time 8 you did for #lovesummerart. Your style just really spoke to me. It must be those bright colours!! I am hoping to get my hands dirty and start my own creative journey. My hubby just bought me your e-course and book and can’t wait to get started.

Thanks so much Jeri! It felt courageous at the time like any time you get out of your comfort zone but thankfully it ends become natural after a while lol
