first of.. HOLY cow thank you friends!!! lol.. so many awesome wonderful words of kindness on my facebook page about last nights show, Craft Wars, on TLC. !
I have to tell you.. I had the most amazing time on that show! It was So fun.. win or lose. I knew going into it that my goal was just to have fun. And I have to be honest.. the part you didn't get to see.. when they asked me how I felt about Cheryl winning.. I said.. "her house was gorgeous! it looked liked it stepped right off a pottery barn page! and it truly was.. she did an awesome job. AND based on the outside and design.. I actually knew she had won.. and was so excited for her!. I truly was. Was it hard to lose? yes.. was it humbling.. yes.. but not upset about it at all. I would do the entire experience again in a heartbeat. and I have to say.. I had the BEST help on the show! Ben was awesome.. I was bummed because they cut out SO many funny things he did and said! lol.. he was constantly cracking me up and the producers up.. infact they said to me later they had never had someone so interesting on the show as him.. he was funny and lovey dovey.. and not afraid to show his "crafty skills".. Loved the part where they sang when the doors worked! lol.
All I can say is the show was great.. the judges were great and I loved the other crafters on the show. They were both seriously so sweet and nice. it was a great experience and I am so glad the show is finally over!!! lol.. I have been so nervous for months to watch it! I mean obviously they had 5 hours of footage to use.. so you never know what 5 hours they are going to show! lol.. wasn't sure if it would show me constantly talking to myself saying "oh christy that wasn't what you wanted to do.. or singing words like "love it!! " lol.. like I do in workshops when I get lost in my work lol.. So i am glad they got me mostly just intent on being creative and not the silly dorky me I actually am! lol actually I wouldn't have cared either way. I am who I am.. right? either love me or hate me.. but either way.. it's me.
anyhow. GREAT time and THANK YOU for everyone who watched and cheered me on! YOU ALL seriously TRULY rock!!
I also wanted to share with you a little bit of Muvazi love today..cause my sister is running a special again on her freaking amazing skin care line.
Last fall i did a blog post and about how her skin care line has seriously changed my skin for the better. I originally used it as a last resort because I had some major damage to my skin from proactive and then tried to fix it with all sorts of stuff. Proactive is an awesome product.. just So harsh on your skin. So after it fixed my problems areas I started to have at age 38 (um hello! i thought after 18 you have perfect skin?? lol).. anyhow it was pretty harsh on my skin and I needed something to bring it back from the dead. I tried So many different things.. and honestly one day my sister just said.. would you just TRY our products please? just try them.. I know they will help. So I did.. being TOTALLY skeptical at first.. and oh my heck.. I was in love after day one. After two weeks I was sold. So eventually about 6 months later I did THIS blog post on it.. because I had so many people ask me about my skin and why it was looking so good (in my workshop videos and when I traveled and taught).. Well they offered my blog readers a special deal and guess what.. THEY are doing it again.. same awesome deal. $59.00 for the entire SET and free shipping!! I was like..Tia .. are you crazy? and of course I know she is.. our entire family is. that's why I love us all.
anyhow.. so if you haven't tried it.. now is a GREAT time to! They also offer auto ship programs too.. but I suggest trying it first! see if you like it! I have had So many emails.. hundreds of emails from my blog readers who LOVED it.. that it did wonders for.. I was just in peurto Rico and Marion Smith (another awesome artist friend) started telling me she had started using it too because she read my blog post and she is IN LOVe with it! I had no idea she had!! lol.. another lady in one my classes was using it too and said it had changed her skin. It just made my heart happy.
anyhow.. so here is the code!
It is good for 2 weeks and it is almost 50% off the retail price. Plus free shipping. So Go get some Muvazi love too! Crazy awesome! Love you tia! mwah!
okay so onto my last piece of little something for the day.. a little bit of inspiration.. this is exaactly how I feel today.. (thank you my margie for the inspiration)..
Exhale..
thats it for today.. next week hope to have some fun new videos for you.. today I am heading to utah.. to visit some of my trues.. Margie, Jamie, Rhonna and Chrissy! having a girls day and night.. catching up.. and celebrating Jamie's birthday! No kids.. just us. Gonna be fun! Coming back tomorrow.. and have plans to spend some time friday in the studio making artsy messy stuff.
hope you are enjoying summer!!!!! Happy wednesday :) and seriously. Love you to you all!
Wonderful blog post! I'd love to read more. :)

I am one of those unlucky ones who was not able to watch the episode last night. I already promised to myself that there should be no time that I will be late anymore or be absent from watching.

Those skin care products are marvellous. My sister in law recommend them to me and I thank her truly since they help a great deal in skin tratment. But I don't neglect the use of soap.

I love all your art and creations and the way you are "YOU" in all your videos and online work shops.
I hope one of these days I will get to meet you in person!
Keep on being you.....

This is a great post! It must have been a very exciting event. I was unaware that Micheal's hosted craft war shows. When did this start? I am jealous that you were able to find great images for your blog. I will keep my ear to the ground for the next craft wars. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!

My daughter and I Have been dvr'ing the Craft Wars and tonight we finally watched the first one... I knew I recognized you right away. We've met at a couple different events in Minnesota and Chicago!
Your bag was SO CUTE and cool. Love the balls on the handle. Congrats on being on the show!

Finally got to watch your episode of Craft Wars....awesome, of course I think you should have won! And I just ordered from your sister's skin care line....my skin and breakouts have been terrible the last 2-3 years and nothing has helped and I've spent way more than her prices (before the kind discount). I'm going to take before and after photos....
Thanks for the recommendation!

My 14 year old daughter and I have been following your blog for some time. We followed one of your tutorials and our art came out amazing! I am ready to embark on another project and have come to you for inspiration.
When I saw your post about Craft Wars, I quickly VODed it. We all watched it this morning. Emma and I laughed at one point and told the rest of the family :Christy is like a close personal friend of ours!" You were amazing. We loved your playhouse. It was so you! You have your own unique style. We think your fantastic!
Dolisa and Emma
PS we LOVE wake surfing too! We just stared this summer- so fun!

I really loved your school bus and thought that, if it were my kid, that's the one she would pick. And she doesn't even ride the bus to school! You did great!
Posted by: Pam Crusberg | July 07, 2012 at 03:31 PM
I was watching Craft Wars and didn't pay attention obviously to the intros of everyone because partway through I'm like, "I know her!" Well, know as in I've seen you and follow your products. Great job. Your school bus was so YOU, and that's what being a crafter is all about. It represented your style and look.

I'm new to your blog but just happened to see the Craft Wars show you were on. You rocked!! I'm in love with your multi media canvas work. Spent the last few days working on a seascape canvas using all your tricks. Love, love, love it!! Went to a local scrapbooking store and got the last two packages of your doodle rub ons. I'm a card maker but I've found a new love. Thanks!!

Christy, you are a class act and always have been! I have said from since before the show even aired that I wouldn't be able to be on it - so much pressure - so I give you credit for even trying. And all that Mod Podge . . . . amazing! ;D
Posted by: Mod Podge Amy | July 05, 2012 at 05:56 PM
I loved the blue curvy paint trim around the top of the bus AND the fact it wasn't a house was so creative! Sure fun to watch and I was pulling for you and hubby!
