Trade shows are so much fun. I went to one a few years ago when I owned a scrapbook store. I really had a great time and the free stuff was awesome. Thanks for the mini preview of things to come.
Have a safe trip home.

Glad to hear that you are having a good time!! Sounds like there is some exciting stuff coming out!! I have ordered one of those new tools from Basic Grey, looks like fun?? Do you know how to use it?? Have a safe trip home!!

Nice quicky product updates, can't wait to see it all. I am totally addicted to my craft drill because of you! (but that's a good thing)

Oh, thank you for making me drool this morning over my coffee cup.....and I didn't even see the stuff....it's like Pavlov's (did I spell that right?) dog....you say new product and I immediately salivate. The only thing that is comforting is that I'm amoung company. Checking out the blogs is about as close as I get to "hanging out with people who get it"....I live in the Bermuda Triangle of the midwest where there is no LSS and I literally drive 1 1/2 hours to a real civilization where there are real stores and scrapbookers/artists who allow me to chat and teach and hang out. The little town I live in doesn't "get it"....oh, I have friends that scrapbook a tad, but most everyone else I feel the need to start a twelve step program to rescue their pictures from magnetic albums. It's very scary.

OH OH OH .... so awesome. You are making me want to go shopping and stock up on even more stuff, but cooler stuff, than I already have. This is a dangerous hobby with all of your creative people in the world!!!!! Post pictures soon.

Hey Donna,
Sounds like you're having buckets of fun. But what inquiring minds really want to know is what do you mean by "extraneous hair" (courtesy of Ms. Cathy Z). . .? Someone over on Cathy's blog had a theory that it had something to do with Brazilian waxes - OUCH!
Posted by: Anna L. | October 12, 2005 at 09:45 AM
Oh, ya, the Brazilian wax theory was mine! (I'm an avid fan of Sex In The City or I totally would never have truly known what that meant.)
Donna, you must clue us in or we will be left to our own imaginations!! teehee

Fun fun FUN!
Just got my Fiskars in the mail yesterday. Saw it in your books and HAD to have one -- nobody had it locally, so ordered it from Joanns.com. Very cool! Can't wait to play with it!

Ooh, getting the urge to try digi myself a bit...maybe I will have to get that book!
Sounds like some great new stuff! Can't wait to get my hands on some of it.

Donna,
sorry that the segment got shifted. Wendy asked me to come over to get some photos, and you were at the Hilton. By the time I would have got there, it would have been over.
Hope it went well.
