HGTV.com feature!

I am so excited!
I just have to share this with you!

(Please excuse my excessive use of exclamation points in the post.)

A month or so ago, I was contacted by HGTV.com! 
They asked if I would be interested in having my
winter mantel featured online
at HGTV.com.

Are you kidding me?

After I got over my initial shock,
 and
then the crazy thought that someone was punking me,
and
then after a few minutes hours of incessant giggling.....

Yes!  I would love to!
It would be an honor!


I got an email on Tuesday telling me the feature was up & running!

Here's the link:


I am slide/photo #12. 

Someone better pinch me because
I still can't believe it!

    The heading is "Design Trends" so not only did you get featured at HGTV, you are a trendsetter! When you and your mantel go on tour remember the little people.

    Congrats Gina, you have every right to be excited and very proud as your mantel was one of, actually- the prettiest, the very prettiest in gallery. Wow. Wonder how many people will attempting to copy it.
    I'm looking forward to staging my shutter shelf which subs in for a mantel. I have so many pieces I'll be redoing it every week of the holiday season.
    You are such an inspiration. I'll be taking a trip to Pier One to see if they have any stars like yours. I have 1 lg. and 2 small metal stars so will be seeing what I can do with them. They might have to sub in for your star. As always Gina,you're the tops girl. So glad I found your blog.

It's got to feel great to have your talent recognized is such a big way. I'll bet one of your amazing table settings will be next!!
