Craft Corps Giveaway Day 4: Carol Duvall’s Book!
Name: Carol Duvall
Gig(s): HGTV’s The Carol Duvall Show
Excerpt Craft Corps (Chapter 5):
“VH: What have changes have you seen in the craft industry over the years?
CD: If I had to say it in one word, it would be growth. When I was first doing my craftg shows in the early 60’s, my main materials were milk cartons, bleach bottles, egg cartons, etc. This was not just by choice, but necessity. There were only two craft stores in all of Detroit that I knew of, and their staples were things like Styrofoam balls, chenille stems, bump chenille, and sequins–lots of sequins. The incredible growth in the amount of tools and materials available has made it possible for almost anyone who has the desire to craft to make things that are truly items to be proud of. It used to be that if folks thought they were not artistic, they couldn’t craft. That’s not the case anymore.“

I used to love watching Carol Duvall on TV. Her book looks like it is very interesting.
Love the mistress of crafting!

I so miss Carol on TV!! I loved her show so much! She got me into so many other kinds of crafting! It’s all her fault! LOL I love these little peaks into things via facebook.
I miss Carol so much. I sure wish she would come back. Crafting is not the same without her. Carol is the Craft Goddess. Sure hope I win. I already have a copy but want one for a friend. Thanks for the chance.
I can’t wait to get the new book! Time to get crafty! Stephanie Joseph
I miss the Carol Duvall show! I’d love to have a copy of her book!
I love Carol Duvall! Her energy level gets you excited about crafts you never thought of doing, and she breaks crafts down into steps so anyone can do them! She has terrific guests on her show, and always seems to ask the questions I’m thinking of. So jealous you got to meet her, Vicki!
I love all the neat craft ideas Carol gives and have used many of them. I sure miss her show!
Wish they would bring back The Carol Duvall Show. I’m looking forward to check out her book. Linda Earley
So great to see anything about Carol Duvall! Her show made all crafters feel special. She treated amateurs and professionals with the same warmth and respect. Loved the Christmas shows especially!
I really miss the old craft shows. It was such a treat to go to my grandma’s house on saturdays and watch Aleene and Carol on TNN. We didn’t have cable and PBS only had Bob Ross, also an awesome show.I then started watching Carol on HGTV. I still DVR Stylicious and Nitty Gritty and Craft Lab when they come on at 4am.

I love crafting, especially with paper. I’m definitely going to check out her TV shows :] Rebekah Zink
I’ve seen Carol on tv for years and have enjoyed her take on all things crafty.

I used to love to watch her!! I got a lot of great ideas from her shows!! Loved the shoebox!!
My mom and I used to watch Carol’s show a lot.

I would love to see re-runs of her show. That was a real quality show and so informative. I miss her.
I so love Carol and her projects and miss her show, especially the “Shoebox”!
We sure miss Carol…… my little crafty daughter would rather watch her that the Disney Channel! 🙂
I love watching Carol’s show on cable. I have to go to my aunts house to watch it since I don’t have cable. It’s worth the trip.
I too loved watching Carol, along with my Mom and sister. Boy, she’s right when she said there weren’t a lot of crafting stuff when she started. Remember taking “road trips” just to go to Lee Wards which was about 50 miles away. Now, I get my pick of which store to go to. Want to do more with my granddaughters and start involving them in the joy of crafts.

Carol Duvall is amazing!
I miss watching Carol and also Vickie on TV. I’d get great ideas watching while doing my own craft projects. I even learned how to teach craft skills to those around by your excellent examples. I am happy to have the internet to keep the craft movement going strong.
I love Carol! I wanna win!

I love watching video clips of Carol Duvall online. She has so much fun when she’s crafting. If she glues her fingers together or spills glitter all over the floor, I know she’s just keeping it real! I can’t wait to get her latest book.
I used to love watching her show and got so many great ideas! This is soooo cool!
Looks great!
i would love to win this. thanks for the chance!
I also enjoyed watching Carol’s show. Her book looks great. Ina Gilmore
I can’t tell you how many mornings I had my coffee watching Carol Duvall. My husband labelled it the – “Carol and Me” hour. I still think of her as a ‘friend’ and am delighted whenever she is on TV….. I would love to have her book….
Thank you.
