Terri Gordon took QVC by storm -- the Krafter's Komfycush was a hit!

Terri was scheduled to present on the "Quick & Easy Crafts" segment that ran from 4:00 AM to 7:00 AM EST. We arrived at 2:00 AM ready to sell. Then we found out that Terri wouldn't be on until 6:40 AM. But that was a good thing: more people would be awake, watching and ready to buy, and we could observe more of the goings-on in the Green Room, which incidentally, was like old home week. There were so many familiar faces from CHA and Memorytrends Shows. Lisa Bearnson was there, so was Heidi Swapp. Stacy Croninger, Editor in Chief of Paper Crafts Magazine, was there, too. Stacy's a pro -- she gave Terri, a QVC first timer, lots of great advice before she went on-air.

The host of Quick & Easy Crafts was Sandra Bennett. It was amazing to stand on the sidelines, just out of camera range and watch how she moved from set to set to set to sell the various products. QVC likes to choose items that have been invented by individuals, and they like to have those inventors present their own items, so it was exciting to watch each craft pro sell the items they lovingly created. Terri's set was pretty elaborate, showing the Krafter's Komfycush's variety of uses.

There is so much to tell. But you are just going to have to wait until we write about it in an upcoming issue of Craftrends Magazine!
