Me. It's been a whirlwind couple of months. Between kindergartner lunch room capers, lice management and control, washing endless amounts of laundry and filming an infomercial, it's a miracle I have time to type this. However, I had to tell you about this fun little adventure that Denise, Gail and I did back in January. I talked about it briefly HERE. But I was under strict orders to keep my big, blabbering mouth and blog closed until further notice. Well, guess what!? Further notice came knocking at the door today! So anyway, back in December, my friend Kelly, who I met during "CHA Stalkfest 2010: Meeting Carol Duvall," asked if I wanted to do a video for Xyron's Creatopia. As Carol Duvall's longtime producer, she was apparently unfazed by my lunatic actions a year ago. Not only did she think I would be a good fit, but trusted me to ask some friends to participate also. Yay!
I pulled up this video that gives you a pretty good run down on what it does. I'll do another post to show you some of the projects that I did. I had never used a machine like this before so it was quite a learning experience. Luckily it was easy to use so my learning curve was pretty good.
So here are my friends that I pulled along for the ride Gail and Denise.......
Here's the schedule.......
It was a blast. Food flowed from craft services like a river after the big storm. I was in heaven. We started off with breakfast...had mid-day snacks like homemade tacos and brie cheese platters....a full course lunch....and, if that wasn't enough, the day ended with three-cheese grilled cheese and homemade brownies. There's a tear in my eye just thinking back on it.....
We were also collectively known to the production staff as the "Crafty Ladies." As in "we need the crafty ladies on set"......"crafty ladies in 5 minutes at their chairs"...."please tell that grilled cheese eating crafty lady to put down her brownie and get back to work...."
It was so much fun being a crafty lady.
There's Beth Dreyer Kingston. She's the spokesperson for Xyron and an all around fun gal....
Loren Chase was the host of the show along with Beth. Super nice and so much fun to work with......
Here are all the things that Denise made. She is so amazingly talented. She blew them out of the water with her creations.....
Ok...time for dinner with my boys. I'll talk to you soon! Karin
