Daytime Television Appearance

Last week Thursday I received a call from Stampin Up Media Relations and asked to do a TV appearance as a Stampin Up demonstrator for a local TV station in Kitchener ON. When I asked when this event was to take place the girl on the phone said "Tuesday" Not sure if this was something I could prepare for that quickly I asked to have a day to think about it and make arrangements. When she called back on Friday morning I was ready with my answer and said "YES". My friend and upline Joanne McTavish helped me out by making a Valentines Banner and my friend and downline Tammy Stevenson made several cards for me, together we made an awesome display. 

Early on Tuesday morning my friend Norma came and picked me up and we headed down to Kitchener to the studio, about an hour and 15 minute drive.(Where I live nothing is close by) We were invited into the studio to watch the rest of the show as it was being broadcast. The show was live so no there was no chance for error so that sure put the pressure on. It was very cool in the studio and they encouraged us to keep our coats on while we were waiting as they said that the camera equipment needed a cool room.

I was the last segment of the day so we got to watch all the different guests come on and see the hosts Mark and Susan in action. During the commercial break Susan invited me to get behind the counter and put on the mic. Quite exciting really. Then they counted down five, four, three, two, one and we were live! Susan was great in giving me leading questions that I could answer and I had her make a little Valentines favour and then because time was running out she asked me to do the second project and we kept chatting. Then again a silent countdown and BAM we were off the air! It was a great time and I want to thank all of my friends for helping me out with this new experience.
