How did you get the Oprah gig?
I received a PM from Mini Gaga a facebook 'liker' on my business page on facebook. Without this I would have never known about this amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you Mini Gaga. You are a gem!
What was Oprah like?
Engaging, warm and down to earth. She is just like you see her on TV - very genuine. Truly a pleasure to meet.
You seem pretty relaxed about it all, I'm more excited than you!
Well yes, I was/have been very relaxed about it all. I was all consumed with it before I actually received the nod from the producers, but then it was head down bum up. The timing of the Baby Shower coincided with my childrens kindy and school break ups. I don't really want to ever have to catch a 5am flight to Melbourne during day light saving ever again. Far too many in one week!
Whilst I will be eternally grateful for this opportunity, I'm more grateful for my little family and that has and will always be my first love.
A few behind the scenes photos to get you excited about tonight!
A little late night hot glueing never hurt anyone. Actually, I was burnt in the process. However, I putting that down to lack of sleep :)
Here is my partner in crime. Ruth Buzzard from Specklefarm. She was my right hand gal. Couldn't have done it without you Speckles! xx
Gotta love the online networking & the amazing opportunities it presents! Congrats again - I'll be tuning in tonight to see it all for sure :)

ReplyDeleteHi Sharnel,
ReplyDeleteI have been reading for a little while but have not left a comment before. I am so excited you & your beautiful styling are going to be on Oprah tonight, I even put off my own birthday celebrations tonight so I could just sit and enjoy the show without interruptions. I know, I sound like a crazy woman, but I love Oprah and I really love the way you put a party together. Enjoy tonight, Robyn
