Katie Brown Rocks!

Wow!

What an amazing day I had with the one and only Katie Brown!

We taped a segment for one of her upcoming shows...

and it was pure joy from start to finish.

Our segment just flew by...like an ethereal puff of glitter!

(and we did toss around some glitter!)  
She is adorable, talented, warm, gorgeous, completely down to earth...
and most of all FUN......
with a delightful joie de vie that seems to permeate all that is around her.

The Katie Brown Workshop TV show is truly a reflection 

of who she is as a person...completely unpretentious

and someone who celebrates the simple joys of life.

And her "Keep it simple and you can't go wrong "attitude is so refreshing!

Katie Brown = Simply perfect!

It will air on PBS stations across the country in October.

Wouldn't you love to learn how to make this seastar garland???

T-Minus 10 and counting...

Yup, only ten more days til my "Day at the beach..." glitter workshop 

at Tinsel Trading Company in NYC.

We will be crafting a garland with eight real seastars.  

Each seastar can be glittered any way you'd like...

stripes, polka dots, or cover completely with glitter...it's your choice.

(I can't wait to see how each garland turns out!)

Each seastar will be pre-drilled so you can run some seam binding thru it 

and tie it onto a 9 foot piece of sheer ribbon, 

(2" wide May Arts organza...to die for...).

There will be much more to do...

You'll make an ornament or two and some sweet gift tags.

And, of course, my favorite part...

I'll share my glitter tricks of the trade in Glitter 101, 

while you munch on a scrumptious cupcake 

and sip Pellegrino!

Oh yeah....

See ya there...
