i hugged friends. i ooh-ed and aaah-ed over new product. i matched colors. i got catalogs. i spent nearly $4 to get my fountain diet coke fix at the convention center. i didn't get anywhere near enough sleep.i didn't spend much time in the sc booth - i was out helping to track down product for upcoming kits. we found some good stuff. ;)
my favorites (outside of studio calico, which goes without saying!)
crate toy box. my number one can't wait to get it gotta have of the show. the little boy on the sam's toy store sticker looks like sam. it was meant to be.
hambly. mostly the washi tape, which is just as beautiful in person, but i loved the woodgrain and bird on a wire overlays.
american crafts. wasn't sure about some of the papers online, totally in love in person. the camping line has so many cool woodgrains, and i love the kraft pieces in hello sunshine.
smash. i don't know how many times we drug new people into this booth. love.love.love. such a fun concept, and the pieces will work in traditional scrapbooks, too. they were getting a lot of buzz, and it was well deserved. looking forward to seeing more from them.
sassafras. the starters line is even more beautiful in person - i need it all!
epiphany crafts. loving the button tool. i don't think it's new, but i know i'll be getting one.
i love being a part of this company. i love spending time with them in person. i love that april and greg ask our opinions and take them to heart. i love that we can talk mommy stuff and life stuff and scrap stuff and that i feel like i've known them all forever.
when my boys picked me up, sam came bolting for me and jumped into my arms. the bigs let me hug them. and my sweet husband not only had a hug and a kiss for me, he had a mcd's diet coke waiting in the car. love him. love them. there's no place like home.
happy friday, friends.
