ok i am just about packed!!
dressing for qvc stresses me out more than being on LIVE tv, but i think i am fashionably ready...LOL! did you hear that christy tomlinson? set your TIVO's and DVR's cause i am on at 3AM (est) friday morning! someone make sure to let christy know what the actual time will be in idaho, cause she missed me the first time...hee hee love ya girl!!
since i am on at 3AM on friday and not on again until sunday (sometime between 2-4PM) i scheduled myself a little playtime at SCRAPBOOKS 'N SMILES a LSS in east norriton, PA! give a call (610.277.7707) and come by and play with me!! i have a suitcase full of fun stuff to play with including some pens, my big head and of course a backpack full of penises! those that have taken a class with me are in on the penises...those that haven't well you must stop by to find out!! LOL!!
also i just talked with emmalie from CROP, PAPER, SCISSORS in waco, tx and i am going to teach 7 classes while i am there and registration opens tomorrow morning...this is going to be big! we are making some really fun changes to some projects, adding new ones and i will be teaching my new heidi swapp FREEZE FRAME CLASS there...heidi made special product just for me and my classes!!
oh yeah and i got new bad girl put in my hair yesterday...don't be blinded by my cool white stripes on tv!! hee hee!! and i think this time my comfort level code word will be "luscious"...it is totally underused don't ya think? luscious ROCKS!!
oooh i almost forgot, i have a BIG BIG favor to ask!
there was this really awesome chic that took pictures of me on tv with her dvr/tivo recorder last month and sent them to me...if you are still out there, would you do that again? i think they just might make a really cool mini album at some point.
ok i am leaving for a plane headed to philly!
Weeelllll-have a great time. Will be lookin for the luscious! Hope I can keep my eyes open late enough to watch--I'm sleep deprived from the olympics! Hey-I think they run into each other out here in CA--should be perfect!

Darn this stupid job...and darn us for not owning tivo yet--I will miss you yet again on QVC while I get my sleep! I hope you packed some warm clothes--we are swamped with snow here in Philly! I can't believe I am going to miss you in Norristown...but I will see you in March in Quakertown!
(oh, and I think 'lucious' is fabulous!)

Dear God, just this morning I signed my 16-year-old daughter and I up for a class with you at CKC in Nashville. Thanks for the warning about a potential penis. I worked for urologists for years and so I have no problem discussing anything penis-related, nor does she. However, I find it's best to know ahead of time that there may be a potential sighting/discussion so that I can prepare the "matter of fact" response/facial expression.
Also, she sort of thinks scrapbookers are freaks, so this will help reinforce that. Yay! I knew I made the right choice. I am just going to call you Mrs. Downey, the Penis Lady, when we discuss it prior to the class itself; will that be all right? Heh. Hehehehe. Oh my.
Posted by: Seanna | February 16, 2006 at 02:24 PM
oooohhhhh. . .cannot wait for you to get here!!! Hope you packed warm clothes - it is going to be chilly this weekend. I will see you on Sturday at Scrapbooks n smiles. . .I will be the girl acting as if she has just seen her biggest teenage crush for the first time. . .honestly. . .I will TRY to rein in my enthusiasm - but honestly girlfriend - you ROCK!
Safe trip -
Hillary

Have fun Donna. Sure wish I was going with you or I lived close to where you are going to be teaching classes. *sigh* Someday I'll get to meet you, but until then, I'll just read your blog everyday and dream about meeting you. :-)
Posted by: cindy | February 16, 2006 at 02:28 PM
FUN- I hope I remember to watch this time. Last time i broke out in profanity and nobody knew what the problem was.
Posted by: Angelique | February 16, 2006 at 02:29 PM
Have fun Donna! 3am, huh? Must go set the VCR! Can't wait to see your luscious bad girl streaks. Knock 'em dead - I hope everything sells out.
Oh, I hope you are planning to come back to New England with your new Heidi Swapp stuff. I wanna know what these HS freeze frames are all about!
Posted by: sharonc | February 16, 2006 at 02:39 PM
Hey Donna,
It was me that sent you the photos that I took off our big screen, and you bet... I'll take more for you this weekend. Already have the episodes ready to record. I am planning on watching this weekend. Are you hostessing with David again? Love him... anyway, can't wait to see the hair do. You rock Donna. And yes, you will get to meet me in person at CKU in Provo!
Your Seattle Friend,
Shannon

Awww what a bummer...my jet is in the shop so i can't get out to join your class. Okay well I don't have a jet, but if I did I'd so be there. Besides why would I want to join a fun class that includes penises when I can be freezing my ass off here in Canada. lol On a bright note I was thrilled when I saw that there are some totally wicked classes being taught by you at CKU and I am sooooo there baby!
PS Good luck on QVC I am totally addicted to ordering from them now!
Posted by: annette | February 16, 2006 at 03:31 PM
I love that word! I will set my TiVo to record. When will you be doing some classes at your LSS? Can you email me the schedule? THANKS! that is to cool that that person took pictures of you on the telly :)
Posted by: Vee | February 16, 2006 at 03:33 PM
Penises??? Ooooohhh...I can't wait to see you tomorrow at Scrapbooks n' Smiles! You are always full of surprises! I'll be the one taking tons of pictures of my favorite teacher! LOL

See you at SNS on Saturday!
Posted by: Deena | February 16, 2006 at 07:41 PM
I love reading about all your adventures...between you and Ali Edwards, I'm very jealous! I'm sure you've said before, but I was just wondering how you got into this line of passion (aka work)? I'd love to have a job that excites me as much as you sound like you are! Reading yours and all the other wonderful blogs out there is helping open my very dormant creative side and I am loving it. Time to get out and do a scrapbooking class asap...know of any good ones up here in Vancouver, Canada?
Posted by: M Payne | February 16, 2006 at 07:51 PM
Tivo is set.....looking forward to "seeing you"!!
Have a great time!!

Looking forward to seeing you and your luscious bad girl hair tomorrow! I'm setting the vcr before I go to bed, but who knows - if I've got insomnia again, I might be able to watch you on live tv! :)
And I want to hear more about your Freeze Frame class and the Heidi goods - maybe we'll have to lure you up to NH again so I can check it out for myself!
Posted by: Linda A (elendae) | February 16, 2006 at 09:13 PM
We're so glad you're here! I'm ready for my class at SNS -- ready to rock!

Posted by: kara | February 16, 2006 at 11:14 PM
I set my DVR to record you on QVC..and you said luscious! :) Luscious Lois! :) You were great to watch. Made it seem so simple and easy.
Posted by: sunny | February 17, 2006 at 07:29 AM
Wait a minute! I'm taking your class in Nashville and I DON'T WANNA SEE PENISES!!!! I see one everyday. Oh, well...if that's the price I have to pay to take a dd class I'll just have to suck it up. (snicker)
Posted by: Kenny | February 17, 2006 at 08:29 AM

Oh my! I woke up around 3:00 a.m. for my nightly trip to the potty-room. I glanced at the clock and thought... "Mmmm maybe I could turn on QVC real quick before I head back to bed." Well, I watched the entire hour! You were fantastic and so cute! Great job! ~Pam
Posted by: Pam | February 17, 2006 at 12:17 PM

You look fabulous.
It's so great to put a voice with your blog writing!
You rock!
Jennie
Posted by: Jennie | February 19, 2006 at 03:43 PM
I finally caught you on QVC!
You so ROCK!! Selling out those cute AMM Herbanella stickers! (wish I could have seen your happy dance on the side - hee hee!) How cute are you with your bad girl hair and super cool embellished chocolate cardi!!
Don't think I heard the code word though ;)
You did great!! Congrats!!

Donna--
Took your classes yesterday at Scrapbook and Smiles and you DO rock! I had do much fun. I was one of the "all day girls". I can't wait to put pictures in all my mini-albums (wait, they get pictures???) Anyway, I wanted to let you know that the end of the day was not typical for the PA people (wink, wink). We really are a fun bunch and you did a great job at inspiring us to scrap with all the "tools" at our disposal!! I think I'm a new dd groupie.
*ellen*
Posted by: Ellen | February 19, 2006 at 04:16 PM
I saw you briefly today on QVC - you did a great job! I just found out last week that you were going to be in CT in March - I signed up for 2 classes and am hopping up and down with excitement! Can't wait to meet you!
Posted by: Beth Schramm | February 19, 2006 at 09:15 PM
I caught you on QVC both times this weekend! You were fabulous! Loved your hair, too! You really are bad! Rockin' bad!
Posted by: Debbie Musick | February 19, 2006 at 10:45 PM
WOO HOO! I heard the Luscious - I heard the Luscious. Is that the way you spell that? Anyway - you kicked some QVC tush! I love your bad girl hair and your cute jacket! Can't wait to see you on there more!
Great job!
Stephanie S
Posted by: Steph S | February 20, 2006 at 11:34 AM
Luscious Lois! LOL I was cracking up. I even had to rewind and hear it again. hehheeeee
Just a note-the QVC girl you were working with the 1st show was no David. [wink] Not nearly the same kind of crazy enthusiasm.
Posted by: angelagreen | February 20, 2006 at 11:48 AM
Back to Texas!! I'm hoping that I can get to Waco for this! Looking at the $$ to see if I can make it happen!
Posted by: Annette | February 20, 2006 at 01:49 PM
Majorly bummed that I missed you on QVC - AGAIN! In your busy hectic schedule, could you arrange a personal email notification service? That would be oh so generous of you! ;-) JK. Sorta.
