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.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

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...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
