I've Got a Little Secret

OK, for a couple of days now, I’ve known a little secret—and I can finally share it!

I’m going to be on the Today Show!

Isn’t that exciting?

We’ve known it might be a possibility for a few days, but today I actually had a pre-interview interview (where the producer interviews me in preparation for the appearance), and it finally hit me. Up until then, I didn’t think it was really real.

It’s a short spot on Friday, December 4, only a couple minutes long. Stampin’ Up! is being featured because we’ve been involved in the annual Christmas Today Show Toy Drive for the past several years. I’m sure they interview people from several of the different companies who donate things, but it’s definitely exciting to be chosen for this opportunity!

 

After the pre-interview interview, I went downstairs to the Distribution Center to check out the boxes that we’re preparing to ship out for the toy drive, and I got even more excited. The boxes are full of discontinued Stampin’ Up! product—lots of product! I’m sure whoever opens those boxes will be pretty happy!

Watch for more information—we’ll be providing more details early next week and even encouraging demonstrators who live in or near NYC to maybe come and be a presence on the Today Show plaza.

In the meantime, I’m going to try to be calm, cool, and collected. Wish me luck!

Whoo hoo Shelli! Wishing you lots of luck! You'll be amazing! I'm so excited SU! will have some national coverage! Maybe you can still get on Oprah before she goes off the air!!
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family, and everyone at SU! THANKS for all you do!

Hugs - Dianna

Just marked my calendar to be sure I am watching. How exciting!

[Myra Keefer]

That is fabulous news!! Even though I don't live in the New York area I would have made the trip up there to show support for you and our GREAT company.
On that day I will be heading out to go on a cruise with my sister's celebrating my 50th birthday but I will try and watch the Today show prior to leaving for the ship.

Oh my gosh! How exciting! I'm very certain who ever gets those boxes will definitely be excited. Good Luck! I'm sure you will be fabulous as usual.

[Deb]

Wow, that is very cool!

[Kathy M]

Fabulous ! I'm setting my DVR right now to tape the whole show. I don't want to miss a second of it. What an exciting time for you.

[Gina Vasel]

Wow! And I'm only a short drive away from NYC. My son wants to go watch. And Shelli, my son is one of your biggest fans! It's tough to go from the east coast to Utah but I think he'd be thrilled to see you. What great boxes.

[Tami White]

WOWOWOW!!! Shelli, this is SUPER exciting! This sounds like a road trip to me! I'm going to go round up the girls and see who wants to go to NYC for the day!! Will keep watching for the date.

[Tami White]

Silly me, in all of the excitment, I missed that you posted the date - Dec 4 ... can't wait!

[Tonya]

That's really cool! Congrats on being chosen. Maybe it will lead to something bigger.

[Lynsay Mahon]

Oh Shelli! That's wonderful! I'm sure you will be absolutely fabulous! I hope we get the Today show in Canada - I'll watch for it.

[SHH]

Awesome! I'm sure you will do a super job. Are you taking your girls along for a shopping adventure? I hear NYC is fabulous at Christmas. Enjoy your time there! Thanks for giving so generously to so many worth while causes. Break a leg!

[Patricia Giesbrecht]

I have been the blessed recipient of one of those SU
donation boxes for my charity cause, and I have to say
it makes me so proud to be a demo for Stampin' Up!
when everyone is raving about the generosity of the
bundles!! I will be watching the show early on December
4th from Saskatchewan and cheering you on!!

Already set my TIVO to record it! Congrats to you and to Stampin' Up! I love being associated with a company that gives so much back!

[Kathryn Pulsifer]

I am so excited for you and for the national exposure this gives for Stampin' Up! If I lived closer, I would be there waving my Stampin' Up! banner for the whole world to see.

[Diana Gibbs]

OMG! The Today show, and you know what? The next day, everyone will be sporting spiffy little spunky bangs just like YOU!
Have fun and bundle up.
I'll be watching!

Hugs,

Congratulations Shelli! You will be awesome!

[Wendie Waldman]

I'm so proud of you and Stampin' Up!!!

[Karen F]

Congratulations Shelli, can't wait to watch. It reminds me of a few years back when I earned the Bermuda cruise and stood in the Today show plaza with my homemade sign that said Thanks Stampin' Up! My daughter recorded it when they scanned the cameras by us that morning there I was with Thanks Stampin' up on one side and Hi girls on the other saying hi to my two girls that I left at home. Sweet Stampin' up memories. Thanks and good luck on the 4th.
