A Star is Born

Thank you everyone for your well wishes for the ACA interview yesterday, it means so much to me and I think it went well. But the star of the show was definitely one 12month old boy by the name of William!

'Talk to my agent'

'I'm thinking Vegemite commercial... can you get your people to talk to my people?'

So anyway, the crew and the lovely interviewer Emily were meant to come at 3.30pm but then she rang me at just before 11am and said that they were ahead of schedule and would I mind if they came in 30mins? EKKKK! 'Yeah sure' I said with my wet hair wrapped in a towel, no makeup on, house still in need of a final tidy. So I ran around like a mad woman blow drying, mascara applying and quick tidying before they arrived.

They set up at the dining table and I was very nervous at first and found myself a little tongue twisted to begin with as Emily started interviewing me but they did quite a few takes of the same sort of questions and I relaxed more and so they will probably edit it to get the best bits. I hope they can make it sound more coherent that the way it all came out :)

Then they did footage of the little star William playing with his toys and me on the laptop next to him. They shot my laptop with my Madeit shop up on screen. And Will and I playing together on the floor. Then we pretended I was putting Will to bed (as I'd told them that's when I do my work) then they showed me packaging my prints in my little office and then Emily asked me more questions at the dining room table and we looked at some of my designs. (She actually bought one of my Bedtime Bus Roll Posters)!

They were so lovely and made me feel at ease and Will was very enthralled by the equipment and was showing off to the camera and sound men! Emily said she'd phone me when they find out what day it's going to be aired so I'll let you know when she phones.

In the middle of the interview part you might hear William saying his favourite word 'HOT' and hopefully they include the part where he is playing with his teddy on the floor and cuddling it. As we walked them out the sound guy was waving goodbye and saying 'Bye Will!' and then once they'd gone Will kept crawling around to the front door to see where his new fan club of people with great equipment went.

I think I'm going to be cringing when I see myself on TV but I'm just looking forward to seeing how it all looks and what they do and don't include and most of all seeing my little child star!

I hope I've been a good Madeit.com.au representative and done all my fellow store holders proud... we'll have to wait and see I guess.

Thanks again for all your lovely words of encouragement yesterday!
Have a great Friday,
