We're Back!!

Susan, Sharon and Pat just got back from CHA.  If you're unfamiliar with this, it stands for Craft and Hobby Association and every January they have a GIANT trade show in Anaheim, California where about 1,000 vendors pedal their wares via classes, demonstrations and exhibits.

Not only did we have a great time, but we've come back with quite a few new ideas, some new products, and lots and lots of orders for papers and supplies.  The weather was a little different than here.  It was 80 degrees and sunny every day, but we made the sacrifice, left the snow and ice behind and soaked up the sunshine just so we could bring you new things.  I hope you all feel sorry for us.  Here are Susan and Sharon selecting some new papers from Basic Grey and Webster Pages and some new "Shadow Press" embossing folders from Ranger.

These are some of the displays from the Ranger booth.  The top picture is of old books fastened to a wall - an unusual idea but so cute.  The bottom photo is a display of old suitcases and other ephemera.

We had a chance to meet up with old friends................

Charee from Graphic 45

and John Peterson from Imagine Crafts.

And we even saw Rupert, a contestant on a couple of seasons of "Survivor", hawking tie-dyeing supplies.

We should be receiving our orders in a steady stream over the next couple of months.  Make sure you stop by and see all the new merchandise.
