Tuesday's Card

Hello, it's the theme for Tuesday's card. I also have some "Thanks" cut out if you choose to use them instead.

Friday's Quickie Page

Seattle: spent the day? Love to go? This is the next quickie page, you can choose your color for the word Seattle, in yellow as I chose or red, blue and green. Stop in any time on Friday to do this page and remember we have a limited # of kits available. No time to do here just grab and go, putting together when you have the time. I will have a kit ready for you and photo is always here to look at.


I can remember the day I spent in Seattle with my husband and grandson, he loves playing in the big fountain at the center, and we also were down at the waterfront. We got some good photo's to fill my page. Want more photo places? The paper is only $.55 a sheet. So grab an extra and add more photo spots. You can also take just the sheet to cut your own sizes instead of the precut. This is a new option for those that want to cut their own.

I appologize

I am very sorry the card on Tuesday was not ready for you, I had not had a chance to explain it to Katri and most but not all was cut and prepared. Today you can come in and make the card for FREE as well as the make n take which is a heart today. We have a few items to show you of some of the things we have ordered and we will have a couple out today and others out tomorrow as Bev had some in her suitcases also and she will bring them by after work.

A view of the show

This is from Making Memories, but it gives you a small idea of the show. Watch the colors of the carpet in the aisles. Red is the scrapping area. Each booth has it's own color scheme but the aisles are clearly marked so we would know what section we were in. Also aisles had banners hangiung ab ove them to indicate the aisle numbers. They went from 1100 to 5900. Enjoy.

We're home

...and tired. lots of pictures of new stuff to share. So keep watching. Got to get them off my camera first.

Shopping!

Having fun!! Wish you were here!!! Yeah...actually we do! There are so many choices to make that a bit of help would be lovely!


But while we were here, guess who we saw! .....

yep!!!
Would you ever have guessed


One more day. We still have half the convention to see and not enough time! See ya all Wednesday

CHA

We're here!!


In Anaheim!!


At the Craft and Hobby Association National Convention.


This is where all the new product for 2009 is introduced and retailers get their first chance to order it. Today we flew down here and then took a few classes. Since this convention is for Retailers and people who have stores, there are all sorts of business classes. It's very cool. We saw lots of vendors bringing in supplies this afternoon. The vendor fair starts tomorrow.

One of the classes I went to today gave us some statistics;
There are over 4000 people who preregistered to attend and there will be more registering when they arrive.
There are 625 companies represented on the vendor floor.
The vendor area is over 22,000 square feet of space.
If we were to walk every aisle it would be almost 8 miles.

Tomorrow morning Lila and I intend to walk the floor and gather catalogues. We want to look at all the new stuff and choose some really great items to order. We're not even sure yet what all we want to find although we have highlighted a few companies we do want to look at.

Keep checking in. We're limited on the pictures we can take of product but we will share what we can!

And stop in to say hi to Katri. She is covering the store while Lila is here. Tell her hi and let her know we miss her!
