Thank you to everyone who watched my HSN debut! You all made the launch a great success!
I promise to get the hang of looking at you in the camera by March – after all of this time on TV, it still makes me incredibly nervous! I couldn’t have been happier with those of you who called in to talk. Thank you for being so generous with me.
HSN was such a great experience and I look forward to going back. It was like a great big hug, everyone there wanted us to succeed!
I took a few photos to show you the behind the scenes…

Tracey and I back stage setting up the tables. Everything at HSN is white and every detail counts in HD. I really liked how the broadcast glowed. The lighting made the projects look fantastic.

This is our cute buyer, Danica. She and our supervising Producer, Erin stayed up most of the night to be with us. She’s on the set with the 3Birds Today’s Special overstuffed card kit. It was fun to meet Donna Stork and everyone involved with that innovative brand.

There were many things that made us feel special – the first was our very own Green Room. It was nice to have a place to relax and watch the craft presentations.

The second was the salon – wow, they give you the works!

Lastly, they made us a set complete with our paper patterns lining the drawers of the cabinets. HSN went above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks everyone! Now on to the celebration…

We celebrated by going to Bern’s Steakhouse – (See my post entitled What to do with Frequent Flyer miles). Above is a photo of a wine our table neighbors were enjoying from 1899. We actually got to taste it!

As a special celebration, Tracey, Danica, Laura and I enjoyed a Chateau Mouton Rothschild from 1994. It was a once in a lifetime experience!
That just about wraps it up. In case you missed the debut, you can shop HSN online for our items all the time. I noticed that they even loaded the show days before I went on. So if you want to get a jump on things next time – bookmark my crafts store on hsn.com.
I’m back on March 15th with a Today’s Special that you are going to love. Here’s a hint – I made a scrapbook for you!
