A Funky Media Frenzy!
This Sunday during the Super Bowl we all love to watch the fun commercials, right? Well keep an eye out for Funky Amanda in the CBS 58 commercial branding their newscast! They came and filmed at our sister business – Hot Shop Glass….and we are pretty sure we’ll get a second of air time during the big game. It was a lot of fun. Amanda made sure she had lots of bracelets on the arm with the torch. Beads need air time too! UPDATE: Here’s the link to the commercial!
But wait! There’s more!
