I had the best time on "Creative Living with Sheryl Borden".
I never realized just how quickly the time passes when you have only 7 to 9 minutes to say and do it all.
This a half-hour television show designed for the active lifestyles of the new millennium.
It is currently carried on more than 118 PBS stations in over 40 states, as well as in Canada, Guam and Puerto Rico.
I did not know how much prep time it takes to get ready for TV. And I do not mean the getting the projects and step outs ready either.
Of course, I was given a list from my friends and my mother broken into two parts those things that I had to do and the things that I should do. By the time it was all said and done, one list ran into the other.
I had to get my locks tightened, wax my eyebrows, put on mascara, wear eyeshadow and lip gloss. Once I had all that done, I figured I should clean all the crud out from my fingers and put on some clear nail polish, buy new personals!
I promise next time I will do ear rings and a necklace. I just could not handle all of it on the first go around!
I normally only take 7 minutes after my shower to get dressed and out the door.
It took me over 45 minutes to put it all together and get ready to face the harsh reality of the snow storm in Portales, NM.
Everyone was wonderful! The time that I spent on the set was fabulous. I really can't wait to do it again.
The first segment that I did was called On the Rebound: Old Book Covers get a Second Chance.
Here is an easy way to re-purpose vintage book covers for pennies on the dollar. It makes a perfect keepsake for your travels! These journals are great when space is at a minimum but you still need a journal that can handle more than just short notes. This blank book is designed to be easy to carry yet still have plenty of room for your thoughts! Making a text block can be time consuming and take hours of hand stitching. Not any more, with the Your Story™ from Provo Craft you can create in just minutes. Advanced Book Artists and Novices alike will enjoy!
The second segment that I taped was called Live Out Loud: Canvas Covered Journal.
Keep in your purse or pocket for handy access to jot down phone numbers, names and other information. Handy when you want to write down ideas and random thoughts while on the run. Stylish and unique, a great replacement for the shards of paper that get lost all too often. What better way to keep track of all of your adventures and discoveries? Advanced Book Artists and Novices alike will enjoy! The covers are made using the Yudu™, Ready-to-Go!® Blank Canvas Book and EarthSafe Finishes Shimmer Gel Medium.
I have to admit that this was one of the best experiences that I've had since I started on my road as a professional Mixed Media Artist.
I can't wait to do it again! I'm off to take pictures so that you can see projects up close it finally stopped raining here.
until we meet again,
Girl, if you were doing that every day, it wouldn't take 45 minutes to get ready. Don't HOARD your beauty. [spoken by a woman who wears pajamas until 1 p.m. every day - but hey, I don't get to go on TV.]

People do that everyday!! I am not sure if I could do it everyday. When I showed Chi-Chi my spoils from Ulta, she asked me "Mama do you know what you are doing?" I told her "the lady in the store showed me how." She just shook her head in dis-belief.

Congratulations and you go girl!! I too take about 5 minutes to get ready and tried for several days this year to put more effort forward with makeup etc. It only took me 5 minutes to get ready today so I haven't stuck with the make up thing but for special occasions I will do it. You look great and not everyone needs gobs of makeup and jewelry -- just be you!

Awesome! I'm sure you did a great job! However, now I am now convinced you should do some segments of your own to put on YouTube....your faithful followers would LOVE it!!! And we wouldn't be so worried over whether you were wearing make-up or not!
