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."

ReplyDeleteLove the mistress of crafting!
ReplyDeleteMichelle Huntley
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get the new book! Time to get crafty! Stephanie Joseph
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI miss the Carol Duvall show! I'd love to have a copy of her book!
ReplyDeleteWish they would bring back The Carol Duvall Show. I'm looking forward to check out her book. Linda Earley
ReplyDeleteI love all the neat craft ideas Carol gives and have used many of them. I sure miss her show!
ReplyDeleteSo 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!
ReplyDeleteI love crafting, especially with paper. I'm definitely going to check out her TV shows :] Rebekah Zink
ReplyDeleteI 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've seen Carol on tv for years and have enjoyed her take on all things crafty.
ReplyDeleteLaura Medeiros
I used to love to watch her!! I got a lot of great ideas from her shows!! Loved the shoebox!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see re-runs of her show. That was a real quality show and so informative. I miss her.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I used to watch Carol's show a lot.
ReplyDeleteJill Chittum
I so love Carol and her projects and miss her show, especially the "Shoebox"!
ReplyDeleteWe sure miss Carol...... my little crafty daughter would rather watch her that the Disney Channel! :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love Carol! I wanna win!
ReplyDelete:) Stephanie
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.
ReplyDeleteI used to love watching her show and got so many great ideas! This is soooo cool!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!

ReplyDeleteI 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....
ReplyDeleteThank you.

I love papercrafting. Can't wait to see what type of things are in this one. I wish I had taped Carol's shows.
ReplyDeleteMy mother LOVES Carol Duvall!! This would be the perfect gift for her! :)
ReplyDeleteCarol duvall was my favorite craft person on DIY Network I don't know the reason they removed all the craft shows but I am sure hoping that they put them back on. I miss watching the awsome knitty gritty show with Vickie Howell.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteRosemarie Alcocer
Carol Duvall is truly the Queen of crafting! I watched her show for years and hated it when HGTV took her show off the air, and yours. I have no TV show to go to any longer to watch and learn from. :O( I would love to win "any" book that Carol has written.

ReplyDeleteI grew up watching Carol Duvall on tv! She inspired my mom and I to make crafts out of everything we could get our hands on. I may have added (many) years to my age, but I haven't grown out of crafty crafting from everything and anything. I'd looooove this book!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to enter!

I can hear the intro music to her show right now - and the cheerful 'welcome to the show'. Pretty sure I'd rather meet her than the president, if given the choice!!
