Today I am driving from New York City to Cleveland, Ohio with Ms. Carla Sylvester. Why am I going to Cleveland? Besides the awesome road trip pictures we are going to have?
I'll give you a hint: Carla is the Education Manager for Martha Stewart Crafts at EK Success.
Cool job, right? But does that hint help you guess why Carla and I are taking an eight-hour road trip to Cleveland?
Well, it's because airfare from NYC to Cleveland (Carla lives in New Jersey) was up over $1000.
But why do we both need to be in Cleveland? That's the real question.
I'll give you another hint: Every single time I have been to Cleveland in the past three years, it has been to tape a TV show.
Getting warmer now.
It's not to tape any of the shows I've been on before:
- Quilting Arts TV
- Scrapbook Memories TV
- Scrapbook Soup (that link doesn't work yet — that's where the website will be when episodes start airing at the end of July!)
It's a brand new (well, new to me, it's been on the air for a year now) show…!
I'll give you a big hint.
Did you know that EK Success has a show on PBS called Crafting at The Spotted Canary?
It's hosted by Joy Macdonell, whom I remember watching on DIY Networks' show Greetings from DIY TV years ago! It was a card making show that came on after DIY Scrapbooking.
So now you can probably guess why Carla and I are driving to Ohio. We're both going to be guests on the show! I am very excited! I've been playing with stamps from EK's Inkadinkadoo line. Great designs and lots of variety.
I can't share my project…but I can tell you that it involves this photo from our wedding (not the most flattering, but boy do we look HAPPY):
And I will surely be tweeting up a storm from the road. You don't have to have a twitter account to read my tweets and see the photos I tweet. You can either see them on my official Twitter page or on the right-hand side of my blog. I will also try to post some photos to Facebook. (And because my Mom didn't know this — you don't have to have a Facebook account to see my Facebook page, because it's a fan page. You only have to have an account if you want to comment.)
Can't wait to share the stories from this fun new artistic adventure!
Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats! And enjoy the drive through Pennsylvania! Ha! I can say that as a Penn State Mom – have sat in more than a few construction traffic jams!

Congratulations Julie, I happen to catch the show this year on PBS and it’s wonderful. I remember Joy from the early days of DIY, those good ole days for DIY & HGTV. I wish they’d go back to more craft focused shows, but alas everything is changing. Glad there are the new shows on PBS. Have fun and I’ll be watching for your road reports!
