JANET"S CREATIVE PILLOWS GETS 1ST PLACE PRIZE AT SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR !!!

 

Over the weekend we attended the South Florida Fair Expo. I look forward to going there every year. So much to do and so much to see. Oh and lots of good food too..lol .

 

 I entered the Craft and Skills Competition at the last minute. I figured that it would be fun to be apart of so many creative people. When I got there on Saturday I was very surprised. I found a First Prize Blue Ribbon on my Queen Victoria Dress Pillow. What an honor. I am so grateful and want to thank Lorie Stinson who is in charge of the exhibit. Here are a few pics:

I would like to recommend to everyone a great book called Virtual Entrepreneurship Creating and Operating a Home Based Business by Lauri J. Smedley. Lauri is a Professor in Business Division in Sacramento City College in California. She contacted me about a year ago. She wanted to know if she could include my business in her book. I was happy to say yes and now a year later she has accomplished what many dream of. She has published her first book. I have enjoyed corresponding with her during the past year and I am very happy for her. And I am so honored to be in her book. If you know anyone who wants to start a business please buy her book. Her book is a labor of love filled with wonderful information.

We were contacted by Robyn Melvin at The Hard Rock Cafe Seminole Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The occasion was a party and they had requested some of our Ruby Red Lip Pillows. Imagine our surprise when we found out who it was for.......
...we were extremely pleased when we found out the guest of honor was Fergie, from the Black Eyed Peas, the Duchess herself. Fergie was giving a concert at the Hard Rock Cafe, and also as shown here autographing a guitar as part of the Ambassadors Of Rock and presenting a check benefiting the Joe DiMaggio's Children's Hospital. Here is the Hard Rock Cafe. Thanks for helping make Janet's Creative Pillows a part of a worthy cause and also the opportunity to be involved with Fergie!

This is a picture of a very nice gentleman by the name of Dennis Luciani.

Dennis is a very talented actor. He has been in National Lampoon's "Totally Baked" movie as (Average Joe) giving equally rich full-bodied and downright hilarious performances. He has done many commercials among other appearances on tv. He emailed me and asked if I could create a giant carrot pillow..lol. I said sure! He would be dressed as a bunny for the Let's Make A Deal Show. How exciting! The thought of one of my creations on a tv show.  I was happy to have created this giant carrot especially for him. And he was so kind to send me a picture of himself all dressed up with the carrot. Dennis presently works for National Lampoon Inc. and I want to say that I am a big fan of National Lampoon. Thank you Dennis!


Gary Cohen is the Producer of Plays in The Park, in Roosevelt Park in Edison, New Jersey.

We were happy to be a part of their latest production that opened on June 24, 2008 and ran until July 5, which was Mel Brooks " The Producers" . Our lip pillow was featured prominently on the couch for a few scenes as you can see in the picture to the left ( click the picture to enlarge). We were happy to oblige and also got great reviews from Gary ! Also click the link below to see a slideshow of the production.

Janet's Creative Pillows was honored to have been a part of a Romantic Homes / Cottages & Bungalows / Victorian Homes event called Vintage Vavoom Launch Party which took place on January 19, 2008.  Many of my Make Mine Pink sisters including myself donated items for this fun day.

Several of our products were auctioned off for charity to help the Tustin Preservation Conservancy in California which helps preserve and restore historic homes.

We were also pleased to be added to a blog for Romantic Homes editor Merrie Destefano and featured as a donor in the brochure that was presented at the McCharles House. 

   

 

 

 

 

A special thanks to Cindy Houot of Angel Heart Designs who asked us to create a Dice pillow for a special friend of hers. Imagine our surprise when we went to her friend's website named Gallery Lou Lou... in New Mexico. The pillow you see below was displayed on their sofa .  Imagine our surprise to find out the pillow was for a rock and roll exhibition that took place on April 25, 2007.

The exhibition was really exciting to hear about and several musicians, rockers, and celebrities showed up. We were very happy to be a part of it !

Saturday - May 6, 2006 - Tribeca Film Festival - NYC

We performed with your pillows on Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival Family Day event. Attached are a couple photos. The pillows worked out really great. This week we perform for 1,000 NYC school children. I'm sure they will love the veggies as much as we do!

Thanks again, Amanda
