Here you go - some of my favorites...

Karen Foster's easter line. Paper Salon - dyed elastic - this falls under the "why didn't I think of that?" category.
Elsie Flannagin's line for KI Memories. Too cute. Gotta get my hands on some of this...
Doodlebug's Black and White Collection - of all the black and white patterned paper we saw there, this was my favorite one... (and let me tell you - there was a TON of black and white patterned paper.)
Hambly Studios - cool cool overlays and rub ons. Amazing.
Imagination Project. LOVED almost all of their new releases, but this was my favorite. Cool.
New Heidi Swapp masks... lots of potential for these. Love the bird. There were birds everywhere...
Heidi Grace has done it again. She is one amazing designer. LOVE her flocked and glittered papers. She had a paper line with mushrooms on it. Cute little toadstool mushrooms - like people used to tole paint in the 70's. (And guess what? There were owls everywhere too... weird!)
All in all, it was an amazing show. There was some great stuff. Miles and miles of great stuff.
Love this industry.
Love it.
Love my job.
I had a great time with Kathy, my boss. We get along so well. That's a great thing.
I'm so blessed.
I got to meet some internet buddies... for the first time ever.
And now I'm back home with lots of ideas and inspiration and projects to create.
Loads of ideas in my head.
My brain is full.
My heart is happy.
Have a great weekend, friends!

    The Heidi Grace line looks wonderful! It's the kind of stuff I'll just want to hoard. So glad you had a nice time, C :) And that you made it back home all safe and sound.

    Well, well, dyed elastic. That is just too cool. Kinda like ribbon but stretchy. Wow! What'll they think of next? Thanks for keeping me up to date on what is new in the industry :)

    Everything looks so pretty. I'm glad you had fun and I"m glad you're back.

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
