EXCITING NEWS!!! Our TV commercial about our movie is airing during Martha Stewart's show next week! Need someone to tape show; free movie for helping

Hello everyone.....
We are so excited!!! We have been working with a marketing company in California and they made a television commercial for us about our new children's film "The Enchanted Treehouse". The commercial is finally going to be aired on tv.....starting next Monday, November 24th!!! We are so beside ourselves with excitement! We never dreamed there could be a tv commercial about our movie!
It is a 1 minute commercial about our movie shown on the Fine Living Channel. It will be shown next week, all week and the following week during Martha Stewart's show at 8 p.m. So the commercial will aire sometime during her show, between 8 and 9 p.m.
The commercial is on the "New Product Showcase". We would really like to find someone who would be willing to tape Martha's show then, at least once during her show next week, so that we can see it. We don't have cable and won't be able to see the commercial. So, if anyone lives on the East Coast and would be willing to tape the show for us, we would be happy to send you a free copy of our movie and also reimburse you for the postage to send the video of the show. We'd like to have someone tape the show right away, if possible, like Monday, so that we could see it right away, but can wait if necessary.
If you have Comcast and get the "Fine Living Channel", please let me know if you want to help us with this. It would be so fantastic to be able to see our commercial on Martha's show!!!
Also, our commercial will aire earlier in the other time zones, an hour earlier at 7 p.m. Central time, 6 p.m. Mountain time and 5 p.m. Pacific time. So, if anyone wants to watch whatever is showing at those times and tape the show for us, that would be great. You'd have to get Comcast.
Thank you so much, hope to hear from you!
Contact me if you have any questions.....

Hope you can make it to the show!
It is at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, starts at 10 a.m.
Email me for more details if you need to. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and we would love to see you at the show, if you can make it. We're in booth 628, by Santa.

New furniture and pictures of our booth at the show!!

Hello everyone!
I am trying to post more on my blog.....we've been so busy, I just haven't had very much time to devote to my blog; so sorry! We've done several art shows recently, so we've been traveling a lot and it seems like it takes us forever to recover from all that! I would much rather stay in one place and just have a little shop of our own, so we wouldn't have to be gone so much. Travelng is so disorienting! (Does anyone else think so?) Anyway, we have had a wonderful time, though, even with all the driving, but now with winter setting in, we probably won't be doing any art shows very far from home til spring.
I've posted some pictures of some of our newer pieces and also some pictures of our booth at the shows. Our booth was a little different at each show, but this is basically what it was like. Mike and I really love creating a space that has it's own atmosphere and feeling. People really loved our booth. (So sorry for poor quality of the photographs....I should have used our newer camera).
We'll be doing two more shows here in Salt Lake City....one in about a week at the Holiday Food and Gift Show in Sandy, November 14th til the 16th. Then we're doing a really unique show November 28th til December 6th, called the Old World Christmas Market. It will be at the Gallivan Center (for those of you who live in Salt Lake City or know of the area). It will be really fun, I think. It's an outdoor show, but we will have little wooden cottages (with heaters) and it will be like an European old world market. They will have Christmas carolers, other artists (only handmade art and crafts) and Kurt Bestor will be singing, Richard Paul Evans will be doing a reading and they will have the downtown Christmas lighting going on during that time, too. I think it will be really exciting. I hope we can stay warm, but it should be fine. I think it will be a really festive and wonderful holiday show.
I hope you are all having a beautiful time of year. I am so grateful for the way the election turned out. I really think Obama will be a wonderfu president. I really pray for his safety though. I just hope people will be kind and appreciative of him. I thought John McCain's last speech was very kind and humble. He is a great man, too. This time in our country's history, we truely need to be respectful and understanding of one another and be grateful that we live in such a wonderful country. It's an amazing and yet difficult time in our country, with the economy being in such a terrible state. But, I think if we pray for sensibility, honesty and perseverence, we will get through it.
Take care and I would love to hear from any of you!!

hope for peace and beauty.......

how sad it is that we cannot be kind to each other on this earth. there are those who share love and gentleness with their fellow beings, kindness, their watchword and light. but how i wish there were those whose anger and confusion would fade away and become the sweet music of love from the heart. with this election, i pray that we will all have understanding and patience with one another. how can we heal each other and the deep wounds we all have if we do not show caring and kindess to each other. whatever happens, i pray that we will all be good to each other and be kind and gentle.
