The Craft Wars Allegations Are True and a HUGE PARTY INVITE!!

By Mandi 06/27/2012

Ok FINE. You guys have broken me down. I have kept this huge daddy secret LONG ENOUGH.

You may have seen a preview or 2 on TLC for Craft Wars.

And you may or may not have emailed, FB, or messaged me asking if that BEATIFUL face was mine.

AND because I signed a contract within an inch of my life to not breathe a word of this to anyone until I got the green light. I have had to put my fingers in my ears and say “la la la la la la” for a few weeks, and I am sorry!

But now I can officially confirm that YES, I Mandi Gubler am a contestant on the upcoming show Craft Wars!

It was SUCH a fun experience and I had the best time! I don’t know what else I can even say, other than the series premiere is Tuesday June 26th at 10/9 Central. Tori is wonderful and I may have lost fistfuls of hair the weeks leading up to it. Oh and like the preview said it is one of the hardest things I have ever done.

When I found out that I had been cast and needed to find a partner I immediately called my girl Jilly from Girls With Good Taste. She is hands down one of my favorite human beings on the PLANET.

That being said.

Jilly and I are both going to be in Salt Lake for the episode airing on July 3rd and we thought it would be fun to have a huge Hangout Session/ Craft Wars Viewing Party! What do you think? Would you want to come?

My wonderful friend Bridget from Bridgey Widgey has graciously agreed to host this huge shin-dig. She is a Party Master and completely adorable (you MUST check out her amazing parties!!) and though her parents house is huge, its not the Taj Mahal,  so the invite will be open to the first 100 RSVP’s. All that we ask is that you bring a treat to share, and we are working on some killer giveaways!

YOU  CAN  GET  ALL  THE  INFO  AND  RSVP  ON  BRIDGET’S  SITE.

And SERIOUSLY I am not allowed to talk about anything and you guys know how hard it is for me to not overshare EVERYTHING so pretty please don’t ask me to spill the deets. Deal?

Love  Your  Guts,  Mandi

  2. I feel silly admitting that I totally knew that was you on the lighting fast snippet of a preview when you have absolutely NO idea who I am. But I can’t wait to watch the show! Congrats Mandi.

  3. How crazy! I saw the preview and said to my husband I think that girl lived next door to me at the Roost!
    That’s exciting about the show I can’t wait to watch it. Love your blog!

  4. I knew that was you!!! I kept seeing the previews, and telling my boyfriend that one of the bloggers I follow was in the preview. He told me I was crazy. Congratulations, that is so cool, regardless of the outcome!

  5. Congratulations cute Mom!! I think it is awesome and amazing!! What an opprotunity and how exciting!! Can’t wait to see it!!

  6. I screamed when I just saw you on the preview! Look…. the MacGyver of the craft world has made it onto the show… but they seem mean. I was yelling at them when they weren’t saying very nice stuff to those ladies, like duh you gave them an hour to make a bag of sport equipment! Can’t wait to see you rock it!!! Wish I lived closer, I would be there wanting a big hug!!

  7. Love it! What kind of show would Craft Wars be if they didn’t have the Queen of craft there? 🙂 Yay! Can’t wait–wish I was still in Utah! Cheering you on from NC!

  8. So jealous that once again, i do not live in Utah! Urg. Anyways, I’m SO happy for you with the show & I can’t wait to see you guys on it. I’ve already got it programmed in my DVR so I’ll be cheering you on the whole time! Can’t wait for the show & to see some updates (when you are allowed) on Vintage Revivals

  9. That’s so funny! I saw the preview for that show and thought to myself “gee, I think Mandi should TOTALLY go on that show…” and you did! How fun!

  10. Awesome! I was just watching Design Star a couple of nights ago thinking that you need to go on THAT show but I guess this one works, too :). Can’t wait to see it! I RSVP’d for your party and we would love to add something to your giveaway.

  11. I knew that was you! I am so excited I get to see you in action… my favorite blogger EVER! I bet you win!…… ?

  12. I was so excited when I saw the commercial and saw you in it! I figured you weren’t revealing it yet, so I texted Amy about my excitement instead 🙂 Congrats that is so awesome! I am excited to watch it!

  13. Congrats on getting on the show and for keeping the big secret! I was SO glad to be on the first episode and that my face was easy to see in a very early promo, so I didn’t have to wait as long asylum to share the news. We had a small get together last night to watch our episode and it was SO much fun! I couldn’t sleep I was so filled with adrenaline! I wish you an equally wonderful experience!

    PS I posted some info about our experience and about our party on my blog if anyone is interested.

  15. I totally knew it! I was actually on it too:) I was the girl who got voted off first last night haha… oh and the one that says “this is the hardest thing I have ever done” in the previews. I have been following you FOREVER and thought it was so cool to do something like this that you did too. I can’t wait to see your episode! If I lived in Utah I would TOTALLY come to the party. Hope you did better then me:)

  16. Ah! I feel like I will be so close, but yet so far! Im going to actually be in Utah then- except in Park City, and since it is for a family reunion, I probably can’t slip away- dang it!!!! Hope you’re doing well! I miss ya!

  17. NO!! I don’t have cable! I can’t watch TLC and see how awesome you do. Full videos aren’t online. Even though it has already been taped. Best of luck to you Mandi!

  18. OMG Mandi! It’s 1am and I’m watching TLC and I see this girl. Is that Mandi?!? I go to your blog to do some CSI and YES it’s you! CONGRATS! I watched the 1st episoide this week. Can’t wait to see you on there! I hope you WON!!!

  19. That’s so funny, because yesterday I was thinking to myself, this girl belongs on TV. The future is bright for you, darlin. Keep truckin’ -your talent is mind-blowing.

  20. bahhh! you were on TLC! that was the best thing in the world to turn on my TV and unexpectedly see your face! you are hands down my favorite diy blogger in the whole world and it was so fun to see you on my TV! I’m still soo excited you made it on TLC! …ps I think they should have given you two hours… you can’t rush good crafting or spray paint ninja skills!!! 🙂
