Portland Wholesale Show

I'm back from the wholesale show and actually had a lot of fun. There were new products, stamps, techniques and so much more. Wrote up orders like crazy and so the store should have lots of fun new things in soon! Some of the products I beg and pleaded for the companies to get it out in a day or two so we could have it in the store in time for our Holiday Open House on October 18 and they are obliging. Guess it doesn't hurt to ask for the impossible--you might just get it! As for the other things that it was just impossible due to availability or shipping time, these new things will be in the store in time for the "New Products" Demo November 1, so it's all good.

I finally got to see the JAC paper from Dreamweaver in use--so cool and just in time for the holidays with all the glitters. If you own stencils or like glitter-you've got to see this. It's soooo fast and easy-very impressive! This one will definitely be shown at our New Products Demo and added to our stencil class.

Stampendous has new stamps and stickers. I'll have a great quick project on display using some of the new large mirror Class a Peels--must see.

Clearsnap has their new Watermark Pad and it's really good and less costly than it's competition. Also new from Clearsnap is their Design Adhesives. I've tried other companies versions of this product and I have to say I like Clearsnaps. Really easy to use with really good results. This product will be at the Open House and also featured in one of the Gift Projects. You've got to come by for the Gift Projects!

Printworks has new stamps - great holiday images. Art Impression has new "Old People" -really funny with saying that as we age we can all relate.

There was more --so much more but it is 12:35 AM and while normally that isn't late for me, tonight I'm really tired after a long weekend and a long drive home.

Want to see all this and more? Stop by the store Oct. 18 and Nov. 1.
