SCRIBBLES VIDEO | The Case of the Succulent Succulents

As an adjective, the word succulent is often used to describe food and means juicy, moist, tasty or luscious. When used as a noun, succulent refers to a type of plant (similar to a cactus.)

At my sister Kim's recent birthday party held at our mom's place, the astonishing birthday cake - created by Kim's talented daughter Erin - was both succulent and, well... succulent.  It was definitely delicious and it was also decorated with edible succulent plants, flowers and even rocks (which were candy-coated pieces of chocolate.)

Naturally, Kim was the star of the day, but that stunning cake was definitely a close second. Here's a peek at both...



If you read the credits at the end of this video, you will notice that the music used in this clip ('Funk Me') was created by me!! This is the second instrumental tune I have put together (with help from an app called Garage Band) for use on a Scribbles video.  

Recently, You Tube blocked a Scribbles video because it featured a portion of a strictly copyrighted song. Usually artists allow you to use their music with the stipulation that ads could appear on your video. But in this case it was a resounding "No" and the video was blocked, meaning no one would be able to view it. 

Creating original musical pieces will definitely ensure THAT doesn't happen again.
