Rising Star Award Speech, Better Late Than Never

July 17, 2012 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger/designer/Fashion Group International Rising Star Award finalist Stacy Lomman just stumbled across this video of me accepting my Rising Star Award for jewelry in January. It was strange for me to watch it because I’ve had a lifelong fear of any type of public speaking that I’ve only begun to get over in the past three years or so. I’m relieved to see I thanked the right people and didn’t faint or stare into a camera speechless like Cindy on The Brady Bunch.
