Incredible Emmys

Wow! What a ride the past days, weeks, and months have been!

• lots of hard work (cutting and hammering 200 teardrops!)
• stress (WHAT, my package hasn't gotten to California yet?!)
• excitement (following along for 2 whole days hearing about all the celebs visiting TAG booth at the gifting lounge!)
• anticipation (am I going to get good pics with celebs, are they going to like my jewelry?)
• and pure joy (O.M.G. Nia Peeples is wearing my earrings in an episode of Pretty Little Liars!!)

I couldn't have been more happy with the response and feedback to my jewelry! I got: Some awesome celebrity shots with my jewelry! Some personal requests for my jewelry! Tons of Primetime celebrities receiving my earrings in their swag bag and seeing my jewelry on display! And my hammered teardrop earrings are going to be on TV!

...and it's only been 1 week since the Emmys! Can't wait to see what's next...

Some of the highlights!

 

 

 

 

 

Some of my favorite celebs that got The Artisan Group's Swag Bag!

...up next, gifts for the press at the Golden Globes in January and the whole shebang (swag bags, display, and press gifts) for the Oscars in February! :D

Emmys = Awesome

This weekend was the long awaited and anticipated Emmy's gifting lounge, where my jewelry, along with lots of other a.MAZ.ing handcrafted items from members of The Artisan Group were gifted to celebrities and press!

The TAG table in the GBK gifting lounge. That's me on the left on the wood & blue display board!

I was unsure of how I would actually respond to the event, since I have never followed the awards programs and really don't even watch tv. So I was really surprised to find myself feeling antsy and quite giddy to hear all the little tidbits of info and celeb names given to us by Valerie and Nikki during the two days of the event. Granted, most of the celeb names I didn't know, but that's what Google and IMDB are for, right? :) I did recognize most of the faces and names of the shows, so at least that!

Next week (or so) we'll all get detailed info on which celebs loved our stuff, what their comments were, and actual photos of celebs with our products! I am honestly so excited I can hardly stand it; so much for being the cool and collected; "...oh, I lived in Hollywood and am OVER celebs!" Deb. lol. --It's going to ROCK seeing my jewelry being modeled with anyone who is ANYONE!  --I'm going to have to keep really busy so the week flies by...

I did get SOME instant gratification by being able seeing the feedback and comments from celebs on twitter! A couple examples are:

Some awesome feedback from celebs!

AND the best part so far... Mr. GBK himself (Gavin B. Keilly), founder of the hottest celeb gifting lounge, asked if he could have my necklace that was on display for, I'm assuming, his wife! AWEsomeness!!! --Now I gotta stalk them to see if she wears it! lol. Oh, and we, the TAG Emmy's team, put together a special swag bag for Gavin and I made special cufflinks just for him, so maybe I'll catch a photo of him with the cufflinks and his wife with the necklace at the same time! :D ...I'll keep you posted. ;)

Ok, there's the rundown for now. Very soon I hope to have all the photos and whole scoop on what the celebs said. Stay tuned...

Extra, Extra: READ all about the Emmy's Weekend from the rest of The Artisan Group members (so many fun posts!) starting with Shannon's of Sweet Stella's

Belle Armoire Jewelry Magazine

I've been published! Woo-Hooo!

The cover! That's me, in large type right in the center! Yay!!

First page of inside article. *Love the shot they took of my necklace!

 

My article on texturizing jewelry is published in this issue (Autumn 2011) of the gorgeous Belle Armoire Jewelry Magazine!

And I was ecstatic to see my name huge on the front cover! I was so excited when I saw it on the news stand in Barnes & Nobles that I almost turned to the stranger standing next to me and screamed "Hey, Look, That's me!" lol. --hmmm... on second thought, maybe I should have, maybe she would've liked my jewelry and taken a business card? and told all her friends about me? and they all bought jewelry from me! --I really need to get over my reservations in that area! :)

Anyway, next time you're at a news stand, look for the magazine in the arts & crafts section and let me know what you think!
