Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

Okay ladies the time has come to tell you that I have lost my damn mind.

In case you weren't sure, it's OFFICIAL!

Can I get a loan???
Sell my home???
Okay, sell the kids...they are already broken anyway.
LOL!!!
I really do want to keep my children.

Today, we have a guest straight from Chicago that is going to give you a heads up on just how insane I am...NUTS.

Hey everyone--it's Kellie. I made the last minute decision to buy a plane ticket and tag along to the show with Dee. We had a great event with Creative Imaginations when we got in Thursday night. There were lots of great make-and-takes, yummy food (esp. the chocolate fountain), and some awesome new paper lines. Dee placed the order and we were off on a shopping spree of MAJOR proportions.

We've had two days on the show floor and I don't know how Dee keeps it all straight. She has ordered from some new companies like Pink Paisley and Jenni Bowlin. And the love affair with many of our favorites continues. I don't think I can pick a single favorite because there are too many awesome companies and paper collections. I think October Afternoon and My Minds Eye would be in contention if I had to pick. Since I don't, I'll let you know that My Little Yellow Bicycle and Luxe Designs have some really fun lines as well. Dee said she was done with winter and Christmas paper but the little penguins and polar bears were too cute to resist at the Reminisce booth. (I think she was afraid I was going to take off with the samples if she didn't just buy it, so she caved. he he he)

Oh, I was supposed to tell you how crazy she is and let you know that she has in fact lost her mind. Yes, she's lost her mind. But don't worry, we'll scour the showroom floor tomorrow and maybe we'll find it. If not, don't worry. We'll leave it and bring home some AWESOME new goodies for the store. That's it from me..and now more from Dee.

Hey I am back...I kicked Kellie out of the way to once again regain my thrown as the heavyweight champion of the Scrapbooking federation of wrestlers.

I do have to tell you all that I met the owner of Scrapbook Goodies at the show and she was very sweet...you guys have to stop by there and check it out...I think we have two different visions so go check it out.

Alas, I must say that the goodies have been a whole lot better from most of the companies this year. I must say my advice to Basic Grey did not go on death ears. They gave out one of each of there papers when you placed an order so I have a chunk of new paper to give out for the crop including BRAND NEW paper that will not even be released to October- HOT!!!

But, they weren't the only ones the goodies from American Crafts are incredible. Believe me if you have not signed up for the CHA crop next month - you will be sorry. The amount of goodies was just obscene. As for the product - their travel line was incredible. But , the fun doesn't end there, that's just the tip of the iceburg. Bobuuny as always gave me some great goodies and Sassafras has also agreed to sponsor us for the crop. Doodlebug was on the fence...as there new product is not ready to ship yet. So, it might make it - it might not. But, you will still get it. So, expect some awesome stuff...I know I do. Oh and let's not forget the Slice Aprons. But, it's not over yet we still have tomorrow. So, you might get another sreaming email tomorrow. Yippee. We could still win a slice or a little yellow bicycle, wouldn't that be fun.

Oh well, I've got to go, I've got a snickers and a diet coke with my name on them.

Miss you all,

Dee

oh and KELLIE
