Back from Chicago, on to London
We’ve just finished up with a fantastic trip to Chicago for the CHA-Summer craft trade show. This is where your local retailer goes to buy the latest product, and where we go to show our new things. (It’s also where we shop for Paper Wishes!) Big trends from the show included lots of pirate and princess images as stamps, rub-ons and embellishments, plus glitter and flocking and lots of bird images. Our brand-new clear acrylic stamps and templates were really popular, as were our decorated and shaped brads, like our cute little Bats.
This week I’m headed to London for QVC’s Customer Appreciation event. On Monday I discovered that all 14 boxes of class kits had not arrived at the event that started on Thursday, so the first part of the week was dedicated to frantically working with our HOTP warehouse and shipping companies. Throw in a 9-hour time difference and you have even more complications. Yikes!
At any rate, I’m so happy to see my friend Dawn, and spend some time in one of my favorite cities. Then I’m looking forward to going back to Amsterdam and going on a date with Keith—it feels like I haven’t seen him in ages!

Do you ever get time to breathe? It seems you are so busy right now. Will you get to take a break? CHA must have been fantastic. I can't wait to hear more about it.
