Sweater Pillows - challenge/contest/pay it forward!

Ever do things on a whim thinking NOTHING will ever come it! That's exactly what happened to me! 

A local TV show (Studio 5) announced there were having a $5.00 craft challenge. I think there was 5 days to submit your entries, then the staff was going to pick their top 5 favorites. So with 1 day left to enter I submitted some recent past projects and honestly sort of forgot all about it.

Fast forward a week later. I get a call from the TV show saying I have been chosen as 1 of the top 5 projects and get to come on the show and demonstrate how to create my project. SAY WHAT???? If you read my blog then you know Studio 5 has had me on before. But what I was really surprised about was first, making the cut (thank you!) and second, the winner is selected by online votes (insert a little "booooo" from me). Online voting isn't my favorite thing. I feel like it's a popularity contest of who can spam their facebook, twitter and blog friends the most to get them to vote for their project to win.

SO - I am not asking you to vote for my project but simply take a look over the 5 projects and if you happen to like mine (sweater pillows) , give it a vote :) -voting poll box in the upper right. What is it that they say??......"It's an honor just to nominated." and truly it is.

(pssst! you may be thinking "She doesn't need to win." -  But I would love to pay it forward to benefit a local youth or children's group) 

Here is my segment from the Show!
