VIDEO: 2016 Season Finale Bloopers and Craft Funnies

stampin up bloopers season finale 2016

BLOOPERS

Have a chuckle at some "not so rare" behind the scenes moments of mishaps and craft fails. In my 8th edition of Bloopers reels, you'll find some laugh out loud moments that include losing power during a broadcast, lots of singing...bad singing lol. And of course Flash the Beagle has a starring role. NEWSLETTER BLOOPERS I kicked off my Blooper Edition yesterday when I sent my Tuesday Newsletter edition for June 1, instead of the May 10 edition! OMG! how embarrassing. It happened because I was scheduling the emails for when I was away on vacation. And while multi-tasking too many things, I sent June 1 edition yesterday and it read "the new catalog starts today" and "I'm back from vacation" and I haven't even LEFT FOR vacation yet hahaha! Thanks to all for being so understanding, and awesome. Now here is a video of some more funnies for you.
