Wow!
It is SO hard to believe that this day has come!
The gift lounge for the Country Music Awards started yesterday and goes until Thursday!
Then Thursday night is the actual awards show!
I am SO overwhelming exciting that my sweet little shop is able to gift the country stars, and I’m secretly hopeful one of the lovely ladies will wear my headband at the awards!
Long shot, possibly…but who would have thought I’d be at this place right now?!
Not me!
So in honor of all this excitement and the CMAs, I wanted to share with you the painfully beautiful long process, ha!
…………………………………………….
After I snagged my spot in the celebrity gifting bag I had to make and photograph a demo to send to the big wigs at the CMAs for approval. I SO thought it would be a quick yes or no, but they took over TWO MONTHS to answer back. Y’all I am SO not that patient…it was a good lesson for me though, ha! These are the FAB pictures I sent to them take by none other than my go to photog, Kelly!
The actual design was a little different then I sent off because I couldn’t use the brooches I wanted to. Those I would have to order a minimum of 100 and wait about a MONTH for them to ship from China. Yes, this is also what stressed me about the approval process taking so ling, ha!
Here are some pictures I took of the entire assembly process, needless to say I was up until 2:30 every night for weeks!
But they are SO gorgeous!
Then it came time to package them all up and ship them out!
Yep, that’s 85 boxes that will make their way into the finest Country Music Stars’ hands (I can’t stop saying it…SO excited!)
I had mixed feelings of excitement, fear, anxiety, and relief.
But mostly I just wanted to sleep!
Then of course I had to model my own!
Because one day soon Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, or Taylor Swift could be wearing one JUST like this! YIKES!
Yes, this is me…all official with my bio, photos, and site info in the gifting lounge Event Guide!
I got my own copy in the mail…which I might need to frame…maybe with the celeb pics of them modeling my headbands?!?!
Here’s a picture of all the gifts that are in the bag!
Mine’s sort of hidden in there, ha!
I just still cannot believe I get to be apart of this!!!
Be sure to watch the CMA Awards this Thursday, November 1st, on ABC!!!
So excited for you!
Brittany! Really, I’m so proud of you. These headbands are so cool and PERFECT for a little southern girl aka those women you mentioned. I can totally see them wearing them. I hope a big country star falls in love with your product, buys a bunch, talks about them to her fans, and you make tons and tons of money for all your hard work!!
your life is about to change drastically!!!! way to go 🙂
So proud of you!!!!! You rocked it girl!!!!
WOOHOO way to go GIRL-FRAN!!!
AMAZING! 🙂
