***I have limited internet access right now. The giveaway winners will be announced by Monday.****<\/em><\/p>\n

Last week I got an email (and a few blog comments) saying that something I made was featured on The Today Show. What? Are you kidding? It was in the middle of family festivities, but as soon as I could sneak away to watch the clip online I did.<\/p>\n

Do you remember this project I did for Design*Sponge<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ummm….there it is on The Today Show!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"I wasn’t sure how to even respond to finding that out. So very wild. There was no credit given to Design*Sponge<\/a> or to me which was a bit of a bummer since they obviously didn’t take the concept and make it their own…just copied mine. I’m not going to go into details, but the whole thing was not the Today Show’s fault. Honestly it really didn’t get under my skin too much. The reality is I have no aspirations for a career in the diy\/craft world. I am beyond honored that I get to contribute to Design*Sponge and be a part of such an incredible collection of creativity. However, I am doing exactly what I want to be doing right now.<\/p>\n

\n

So many of you have also shared photos on my Facebook page of things you have made from inspiration you found here. I haven’t had the chance to comment on all of them – yet. I share projects here because I really like to boss people around. Really, I do. I am the oldest kid. A tutorial in the most basic sense is a list of detailed instructions given to someone else. I find great joy in making tutorials because I really like to tell people what I think they should do! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

On a serious note, I like to create and share those creative endeavors for lots of reasons. The Today Show (with or without credit) is cool – obviously it is cool, but hearing that some odd thing I come up inspires others to create something beautiful is a lot more rewarding for me.<\/p>\n
