Renaming my YouTube Channel

Hey everybody 

I‘ve been thinking hard today about my channel. I really need to niche down, but finding that niche is hard. It has been so hard that my brain hurts, but I think I have found a niche for me. 

As you may know or not know, I have been married to Eugene, AKA Mr. Crazy Rummagesale Man, for 31 years. I think maybe marriage advice is the way to go. We can podcast together and just talk about how to get along and other things like that. 
So I am also thinking about changing my channel name from LC Sanders to the same name as my blogger name, “Married in Arkansas.”

So what do you think? Not only can I use Blogger for my writing, but I can relate everything to my channel here on YouTube.

And I also want to change my icon from my sim to a picture of me. Will one of these pictures work, or should I get a more professional picture taken? I am trying to keep all this real. 
Please head over to my YouTube channel and check out my community post and let me know which picture you think I should choose, or should I do something else?

 

 

Thanks for reading, and all comments are welcome.

ARKANSAS

The Official Arkansas State Song
Words and Music by Eva Ware Barnett
Published and Distributed by Kelly Bryant, Secretary of State

I found this at a church yard sale. It was the Crossbar C Cowboy Church on Hwy 70
It was a donations only sale. I got some nice blouses for work and I saw this laying on the table.
I wanted to share this with you. You can listen to the YouTube music and read the words.
I hope you enjoyed looking at this as much as I did.
I hope I can find more.

Update on my Life

     I want to update everyone who has read any of my post on things I have previously written but it seems I never have time. Well, I think I am going to start making time. Things are better than they used to be. We own our own land. We have good jobs and things are going good but as I watch things on YouTube, I get down because, well, it seems life could be over in the blink of an eye.


     What am I referring to? Besides the left and the one world government trying to take over? Well, it is Yellowstone National Park, It is Hawaii and the volcano. It is the strange weather we are having and others in the world are having.


     It feels like things are looking up for us in our personal and financial lives but the world is crumbling down around us. They don’t immediately effect us and our lives on a large scale but they will on a small scale down the road.


     I would like to write about exciting things – like telling you I have been abducted by aliens or that I had a near death experience and I saw Jesus and God – but I can’t. I haven’t had anything extraordinary happen to me nor my family. Even my mother-in-law who is getting older, survived colon cancer and mostly bed bound seems to be perculating right along.


     No, things aren’t bad in my life (except for the fact that I can’t lose weight.) 


I hope to find all my stories and post them on this blog and get them updated because I didn’t know Triond is gone so all my writings went with them. But I do have them written down in a book somewhere so that is another plus. And I also want to tell you about my mom. She wrote things down in a diary but I don’t know if I should be putting them on here for the whole world to see or not. I kind of want to but then again I don’t. Let me know what you think?


Until next time, have a good day. Lisa

Chopping Block

I have some scrap wood from a house being built.

This is one of the smaller boards.

This will be the bottom.

I have sanded it down super smooth.

I have some scrap carpet that I am going to glue onto the bottom part.
I am going to use vegetable oil on it and I have an engraver.
I am going to engrave my name on it.
I will post the final pictures when I get it all done. I have several more blocks. I have an electric sander so when I get the right sandpaper for it, I will sand them down. I am thinking about giving them as Christmas presents. If I get real good, I might make more and try to sell them.

Cyber Monday and other things

I don’t get it. Cyber Monday is supposed to be all about buying online but I think with Brown Thursday added in – it just might get washed under the bridge. I personally have not bought a single thing online but it’s really not my thing.

A lot of things have changed with our little home. I’m not looking forward to the cold weather eventhough we don’t have much space to heat – a measly 336 square feet. I have found lots of websites of other couples who have downsized. We have downsized for economic reasons. It’s cheaper living and less house work(haha). I hated having to try to clean a big 5 bedroom house. It’s so much easier now.   

If you haven’t seen the picture of our home then you aren’t missing much. I would just like to say that if there is one pitfall that small living has is the loud tv. My husband loves to have the tv on loud, as loud as it will go, and our 50 inch can get quite loud which can make it hard to concentrate or talk to someone on the phone.

After settling in, one of the first and best things we got accomplished was these step’s put in for front door. We had bought these online through Facebook for $65.00. They came with the non-skid carpet already attached. It was one of the best buys my husband has gotten so far. It took 4 men to load it onto a trailer and 4 men to take it off but only 1 to move it into place. Thanks to our neighbor across the road who used his small tractor and did it in a matter of about an hour. 
As you can see in this (below)picture we have a new weenie dog, actually we have 3 of them. This one is Elvis chowing down on some food in their food bowl.
 Our black and brown dachshound, Lulu even likes the steps.
As we make more changes, I will post more 
pictures of our new abode.
