Well here I am on Monday, attemping to record a video for my weekly post and what happens? It takes me the entire day to get it all together. Wow! I think to myself, do I really want to post this? Then I realize, that I am not the only one who is playing with this new product and not yielding the “As Seen On TV” results I was hoping for.
So here is a video on the card that made the directors cut! Enjoy!
