I'm ready for my close up!!

I'm going to be on television!! 

You heard me. I am going to be on the little screen!!!

Back in September, I received an email from Sheryl Borden, the Producer and Host of "Creative Living with Sheryl Borden". 

It's a half-hour television show designed for the active lifestyles of the new millennium.  They are celebrating their 33rd season on PBS.

Well, of course I decided to do it why not. It is going to be a blast!

So in between watching Hoarders and keeping up with homeschooling for the boys, I have been making projects for the show. I decided to commit two segments. Each segment is 5 to 7 minutes.

The first is called "On the Re-Bound: Old Book Covers Get A Second Chance". I using the Your Story from Provo Craft with a vintage book cover and new signatures. I no longer have to rig up the hot plate and the clamps to get a nice seal. It is clean and safe.

There is a joy that I get when I stitch a book by hand, but it can take hours to complete and you must do it in one sitting. Maybe that is the Librarian in me.

The second is called "Live Out Loud: Canvas Covered Journal".  I am using the Yudu and the

Ready-to-Go!® Blank Canvas Book from C&T Publishing.

But can I tell you the most exciting of all, I am going to be flying from Atlanta to Roswell, NM. That's right you read it right, I'm going to the land of aliens and UFO's.

Now what more could I possibly get.

So I am off to shave my legs, brush my newly waxed eyebrows and put on some mascara for my close up.

until we meet again,

I can't wait to see it all. Especially the shaved, waxed, tweezed and mascara clad Lauren. Opps, guess I want to see your projects too. Where are a crafter's priorities when she needs them?

I'm getting ready to go tape the show myself. Tons of prep work. (That I've been putting off because I'm outside my comfort zone. )

Any tips?

Hi Laura!

You will have a great time. Just relax. If you get a chance practice because time flies. Get a good night sleep before. Wear solid color shirt just not white or black. I wore rust.

If you can get in the night before and use the conference room to set up so that in the morning you are not looking for anything just go and set up.

Bring everything with you. NOTHING is close. Roswell, NM is the next biggest city. I went to the UFO Museum!

Just relax and have fun.
