Celebrating the Anniversary of Blacksburg Belle: ‘Whipped Cream in the Face’ Game

- September 3, 2014 | by April -

You guys…it’s the four year anniversary of Blacksburg Belle! Yay!

First, I wanna say THANK YOU.

It’s because of you that I get to do work that I truly love. If you’re new or if you’ve been with me since the beginning (or somewhere in between), I appreciate you so very much. Every comment, email, tweet, like, share…they all mean everything to me. YOU have changed my life by being apart of my Blacksburg Belle world. Without you, this would still just be a dream.

To celebrate and have a little fun, I asked my husband if he’d play a game with me. He agreed.

It goes a little something like this: I came up with 10 questions related to Blacksburg Belle. I asked him each question and for every wrong answer, he got a plate of whipped soy cream in his face. Doesn’t that sound like the most awesome way to celebrate the anniversary of my business? I thought so. Watch below to see how he does:

Thanks for watching and continually supporting me. You’re the BEST.

If you want to make this anniversary extra special for me, I do have a favor to ask of you:

I’m teaching two new courses at creativeLIVE this November! They go together but they also work separately and I’m so crazy excited. I’m working on them day in and day out to make them the best they can possibly be. The titles are: Create Digital Products that Sell While You Sleep (November 10th and 11th) and Make Your Creative Business Uniquely Irresistible (November 12th).

I’d love for you to: 1) RSVP for the courses if you’re interested in joining me for FREE while it airs live. RSVP for Create Digital Products that Sell While You Sleep here and RSVP for Make Your Creative Business Uniquely Irresistible here. If you RSVP, you will get access to the workbooks for the courses for free as soon as they are complete. 2) Help me spread the word about my upcoming courses. Simply click on one of the tweets below to share on Twitter and/or share on Facebook. I would be soooooooo very grateful cause I’ve set a goal to have double the amount of live viewers this time around. I want to help as many creatives who need to earn more money as possible.

P.S. If you’d like to be in the studio audience for my courses, fill out this submission form cause it’s FREE to be in the studio audience. Even if you don’t live in San Francisco (or the surrounding area), I can guarantee it’s worth the cost of the trip. You get a ton of individual attention and you get to meet others who have similar goals. You never know…you might just meet your next best friend and learn how to generate a lot more revenue for your business.

    Ha! Love this idea for celebrating your anniversary! I don’t know that my hubby would enjoy the whole pie in the face thing. Your husband is a great sport! lol

    I am already signed up for your courses and have gone back to the live audience page a gazillion times, but haven’t submitted anything yet because of cost. If I suddenly get a good pay day, I’m totally submitting! But, just so you know, yours is the first course I’ve ever considered traveling to Creative Live for. 🙂

    Oh Kris, I was pulling for you! But, then again I enjoyed watching the pie in the face. 😉 (p.s. You did a helluva a lot better than my boyfriend would do!)

    Congrats, April! I’m so excited for you, the past 4 years, and the next gazillion years! You’re awesome!

    Hilarious. I love that he said fishtail braid, what dude knows what that is, well maybe he does’t know what it is exactly but at least he knows enough to use it in a sentence. My husband couldn’t do that. I am looking forward to your next Creative Live courses coming up. I already RSVPd.

      Hahahahaha…he knows about fishtail braids cause of me. He still probably couldn’t tell you what the difference is between a regular braid and a fishtail braid.

      So happy you’ll be tuning into my CL classes. Yay!

    Happy Anniversary! I love your gut-giggles as your neighbours drive off. You both crack me up, and what a great sport your husband is…must be the name 😉

    Let’s all take a moment to silently wish for a miracle that will enable me to get my butt to San Francisco in November. Ready? Go!

    *moment of silence*

    Even if I can’t make it there physically, I’ll be all over the chat online. You’re the best!
