follow up to eek.

well. i'm back.
but it doesn't really feel like i went anywhere. ha. i have this thing where i have to wake up in a hotel room bed to feel like i have gone anywhere. so since it was a day trip... it's kind of surreal.

anyway. the highlight was definitely the hambly. we placed an order, so it should be to the store soon. i can't wait. we even talked to allison about coming to teach a class at our store. i don't know if it will work out, but that would be so cool. :]

i also fell in love with all the new making memories stuff. some of it should be arriving at the end of this week, and i seriously can't wait. the paper dress and the little papers in that frame are just too cool. and some of them have really nice textures in person.

also, american crafts has a bunch of new thickers. i've had a hard time getting into the foam ones, and some of them are so big that i don't really like to use them... but they came out with some smaller velvet ones that i am going to *need* in every color. ha. they are so cute. there was another cute smaller set in vinyl... i think it was called daiquiri. so i can't wait for those to arrive.

we finished off the day by meeting tim holtz! how cool. he showed us some of his new chipboard products and they are so versatile. he is just full of ideas too... great person to talk to.

so yeah. i had fun. we ended up getting done early because the show was pretty small, so we just went back to the airport and luckily caught an earlier flight home. now i have all this core humanities reading to do and all i want is some sleep. go figure.
