Cricut Swarm Registration has Begun!

We had so much fun at our first Cricut Swarm that we have scheduled another one. Unfortunately, it is the same weekend as Little Falls Craft Sale, but it was the only full weekend that was open between now and the end of the year. You can find the Cricut Swarm invite here. Registration did start today but there are still openings. We are looking very forward to the event and hope you will join us.

Day Two of CHA!

It was another fun filled day at CHA as we visited with our Friends at Unity Stamp Co. where Angela and her team are so sweet and fun to work with. They also have the cutest stamps coming out, along with their Store Stampin' Kits, which we will be getting in. We also got the pleasure of meeting Donna Downey at the Unity Booth. We are also looking forward to getting in all the new My Mind's Eye lines, as well as Fancy Pants. It has been a fun time and we look forward to getting back to the store to share our excitement and finds with everyone else.

End of the First Day of CHA

Well we are to the end of our first day at CHA and it has been an exciting one. I started the day off by winning a Cricut expression which you can read more about the new Cricut products here. I really enjoyed the new Extreme Glitter by Plaid, as you could see from the post earlier today. My fav from the show was all the new Doodlebug. They always have the cutest booth, and the cutest projects done up using their new product. Another Cute booth was Jilli-bean Soup, loved their product. Buttons were everywhere, and saw some cute samples made using buttons. And LYB has new chipboard albums and matching die cut paper pad to go with them. They also introduced a line for Valentine's Day. It is a cute line, but just seems crazy since it is still summer. More to come tomorrow :)
