CHA Nearing an end.

Well we are coming to the end of the show.  Tommorow is the last day and Eggie is as tired as I.

We did find lots of new and exciting products.  These products include new papers from Moxxie, 

more wildlife, plus much more.  We know that you are always looking for storage solutions and we puchases some great storage for papers and more. I attended lots of take and makes on the showroom floor and have lots of creative ideas for you all upon my return.

Hope that you all are thinking of a name for Eggie, since he likes this name but knows it is only temporary and is anxious to obtain his real name.

Not sure how I am going to get all the paper and make and takes back home with me since they will definitely not fit in my suite case.  Hopefully, Eggie will have a plan in the morning.  The show ends at 2 PM and I will still need to help Terri Ott breakdown her booth and then we will drive in her van to Las Vegas.  I spend the night and leave early in the morning on Thursday to return to Missoula.  Sure have missed you all and am certain that Andy will be relieved when I get home.

Well, time to go to bed.

Arrived in Annaheim

Hi you all,

Wanted you to know that I arrived yesterday with Terri Ott from Eyelets-etc.  We unloaded her van, just like mine, with product that she sells as a manufacturer and started to assemble her booth for the show.  We finished it about half way in about two and a half hours. Pretty tired when that was done after the drive from Las Vegas we returned to the hotel and scrap booked for a couple more hours then we were both pretty done for the evening.

Today we visited two other scrap book stores locally, had lunch at the Olive Garden and went to Kohl's shopping, plus to staples etc.  We just returned back to the hotel at about 8 pm.  We plan to scrap more tonight and I wanted to catch up on the blog.  Plus, I purchased a new store mascot that I need your help in naming.  

I will be taking lots of pictures of her at the show and while away.  So we will need a name upon my return to Montana.  She is a little eagle and loves to travel with me.  There will be a prized for the best name!!  I will post a picture of her later on and edit this posting so you can see her!

So  your minds going !  We want a her to have a cute name.

Andy tells me you all have been really great at the store and he appreciates your shopping with us while I am in California.

ON MY WAY TO CHA!

Just wanted to let you all know that I am on my way to the Big Craft Hobby Show in California. While I am away my Husband Andy and son Sean are running the store.  In order to keep them busy I put all of the Fall, Halloween and Christmas papers and embellishments on sale.  Don't want them to have to much fun while I am gone.  So be sure to stop by and say hello and look at the great value you can get.

From now on I will be sending you notes and pictures of things that happen or are happening on my way to CHA via Las Vegas.

So here it goes:

After flying to Las Vegas I will be meeting up with Terri Ott who owns Eyelets Etc. We will be driving together to California in her Van.   I stock Terri's product and I know that many of you have the wonderful eyelet setter that Terri makes.  I  know up until she came out with her eyelet setter I was unable to set eyelets correctly.  Plus, the washer back that she sells is great and prevents a lot of paper tearing and just looks so much more professional.  For those of you that don't know This product take a look at her  web site.  The product is durable, inexpensive and easy to use.  Plus, you don't have to worry about it this tool will set in the middle of your scrap book page, card or layout.

The weather in Las Vegas was 70 and Sunny. Actually once the plane cleared the airport we were out of the inversion and the skies were blue.  I am thinking of those of you in Montana and hoping that you to get some blue skies soon.  

While in Las Vegas I will visit with my older son, shop a little, and check out some local scrap book stores.

Will update you more in the next couple of days.

Be writing again soon.
