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.

VIDEO: New Stampin Up Catalog Pre-Order Haul – Part 2

youtube new catalog haul part 2 It started out as a dark, gloomy, rainy day here in New England and then BAM! It turned fantastic, just like that. First and most exciting, my Stampin Up new catalog pre-order arrived. So of course I started broadcasting live via Periscope to share all of the new stuff with you. Which brings me to the second piece of exciting news....Periscope just announced they will be saving our live broadcasts forever! WAHOO!!! Sending lots of hearts to the developers for this. Currently, Periscope videos end after 24 hours. A program called Katch was saving them for us, but it announced a couple of weeks ago they were going out of business. It was so sad. Now we can save broadcasts forever, and other exciting enhancements coming. Currently, this is called a "Public Beta" to save your broadcast use the #save in your title.
