Jonathan Fong is an author, lifestyle expert and on air personality and also happens to be a friend of mine. We met about years ago at CHA. He was promoting his new book Flowers that Wow and was sporting a pair of pants with about 2000 tiny pictures of flowers on them. Of course we could not let him pass by our booth without getting the story on the pants! What a fun guy- we had a great visit. A few months later, he was in town for a speaking engagement at the Expo Center here in VA so we met up and had a little time to get to know each other and have been in touch ever since. He did a very cool project making Guest Towel Cupcakes for an Oprah audition video and inspired me to make some using my ScoreBoard cupcake holders which you can see in my blog post here. Anyway, when Jonathan found out I would be in town for CHA, he invited me to be a guest on his weekly web TV show, Style with a Smile. We had a great time making it and I’ll be sure to let you know when it airs. Many thanks to our production assistant, Lorine Mason!
I left him with one of my new ScoreBoard dies and got a note from him tonight along with this picture.
“Look, I made a vase using your fabulous die. It was for a friend who is in the musical “The Adding Machine.” So I made flowers out of the logo and put the logo on the matboard and cut the die. It looks so cool, thanks Eileen!”
Is that creative or what? Love it- thanks Jonathan!
OMG! It’s fabulous and he’s an amzing guy! Great to have met him at your booth and so nice to see you again too!!! The pictures my hubby took came out really nice. Love your new line and can’t wait to create with them.
So glad you were able to meet Jonathan- funny how you were both in the booth at the same time! It was so nice seeing you again and meeting your husband- yes it’ll be cool to see what happens with Fresh Vintage- I’m excited too 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Great project and Absolutely fabulous die!
