Hello sweetest friends on the whole planet! I'm still smiling from all the laughs you shared with me during the Teal of Fortune game last week!
I am beyond thrilled to let you know that our first Front Porch Kit sold out before we even did the official Friday Night Live reveal show on UStream! Tracy and I were standing around looking at each other before the show in utter disbelief that it was already gone!!! EEPS!
While we were taping the show RonChops was busy putting the kits together at our house! I thought it would be fun to share a few behind the scenes photos from our weekend (more on that teal pear in a sec)!
Front Porch Kits - KItting the Kits
RonChops started sorting the paper while we were doing the Friday Night Live show so I don't have any photos of that part of it...
(and he watched the whole show too... which I thought was completely and totally sweet)!
I loves my RonChops!!!
Initially he used our kitchen counter to lay everything out...
...and quickly discovered that it wasn't gonna be big enough...
...so he had to do things in batches...
...and while all that was going on...
...The Front Porch Kits Technical Supervisor...
(aka DogChops)
...was taking a little managerial break...
Once RC moved past the chipboard flowers and felt butterflies...
(poor RonChops...)
(I promised him I wouldn't tell his friends he was doing this)
(good thing his friends don't read LollyChops.com!!!)
...he started on the ribbon and jute twine...
(I promise him that there would be no photos of him cutting teal ribbon)
(jute is almost manly)
(almost)
...and while the ribbon cutting was going on...
...The Front Porch Kits Technical Supervisor...
...decided to stop for a little dinner break...
RonChops kept on cutting the ribbon and get it put into batches...
RonChops is very very organized!
(which is why he's in charge of the kitting and not me)
...and that's when he informed me that I needed to stop horsing around with the camera and get busy with helping him...
(the truth of the matter is that the glitter part was coming up and he was having nothing to do with glitter)!
(The man has his limits)
The End.
Back to the teal pear from way up there!
I'm going to be doing a little live show tonight (Monday - March 21 at 8:30PM CST) on the Helmar UStream channel! If you would like to see how I made that little fella (and that button covered pumpkin from way back in September)... tune in tonight right HERE to find out!
I'll be sharing two different ways you can cover anything you want in buttons! I do hope you'll drop in!
Winner Winner Teal for DInner
Lastly... here is a run down of ALL the winners from last week (with some new ones thrown in from the last post)! Gena, Amy S., Emily, Amber, Irene & Claudia (2xs!!!), Beth D., Timmi, and Carol S-U! I'll be writing to you girls this week to get your addresses (I just need one more Lolly to help me out with all the things I have going on... so if you see one on sale let me know... I'm too cheap to pay full price for a Lolly).
P.S. I'll be doing ANOTHER live show this Thursday for Live with Prima... and I promise you guys... it's going to be the most funnest of the fun shows ever! We'll be broadcasting from The Little Blue House and I'll have a guest with me too (and there might be cow girls and real live geetars and sing'un involved... just sayin'). I'll be posting more details about the show this Thursday (is the sky falling... cause I'm about to post twice in one week again) so be sure to drop back by! XOs!
UPDATE: You can get the paper mache pear I used to make the button covered pear from Holcraft HERE (scroll down - it's way down on this page)!
