O'Gwynn Oscars (by Travis O'Gwynn)

Hello, friends:} 

Travis O'Gwynn here today- I've taken over since Savannah ran out of time for a video (I took her away for a week for a cruise). I told her to "stamp, ribbon, done" for a card, but she said "NO!" So we decided to share my top 3 Virtual Smooches videos. We are calling this the O'Gwynn Oscars. 

#3 Creating Wax Seals

Travis Truth: I don't know why I like the video, but I do like the project! And Savannah even shared a picture of me watching this video with some friends HERE. I was a VS Featured Fan!!! 

#2 Etching With Paper Smooches dies

Travis Truth: Etching on glass? Who does that? That takes TALENT! 

And my #1 video..... Creating Poppers

Travis Truth: I like the rainbow Leprechaun popper... he lives in my studio to give me "good luck". I also love cupcakes... so this was a 2-for-1 video:) 

The TRUTH is...it's really hard for me to narrow it down to just my top 3 favorite videos. Every week is my NEW favorite. 

Thanks for supporting my favorite crafter, my wife!
Until we meet again, 
Trav
