Happy St. Patrick’s Day!   It’s been a good day.  I have met a fellow You Tuber named Carol Held, that is a pretty talented crafter.  I’ve watched a lot of her videos and her editing is really great.  She uses a lot of great techniques that shows her true experience in this genre.  Tupelo Designs have been looking for new design team members so they put it out on their newsletter.  In order to qualify, you need to have been on You Tube for a while, have so many followers etc.  I thought of Carol right away.  I really like her site because she doesn’t try to sell anything and is in it for the love of crafting.  She doesn’t even advertise on her site.  Go Carol!  So I submitted her name and they contacted her this morning and told her she had been accepted.  How exciting for her!  I was really happy when she called me and told me she’d been accepted and that my nominating her was one of the nicest things anyone had done for her.  It was sweet of her to say, but she definitely deserves the recognition.  She does great work and really knows and understands what she is doing.  She really makes me laugh when I watch her videos, especially the ones where she needs to drink some “juice” which is Coke.  She isn’t anything like you would expect a YouTube crafter to be.  She’s a little bit older than I am and she helps her husband run a plumbing and heating business in her free time.  In addition to that, her husband is a minister and she speaks to ladies groups all over the country.  Here is the unexpected part.  She and her husband each have a Harley and they ride everywhere.  How great is that?  I’m happy for Carol, as she’s been a great help to me in answering all of my freshman YouTube questions.  And she’s friends with Lindsay, the Frugal Crafter.  Maybe Carol doesn’t know that Lindsay and I are besties (in my head.)  I’m happy for you, Carol!
