Okay, so I feel so bad! I went out of town on the 8th, with my sisters, for a sisters vacation, and I thought for SURE i posted I would be gone on this blog.. and then I got several e-mails of worried subscribers that I hadn't posted on here in a while, and the newsletter didn't ever go out.. and I felt so bad! LOL.. I thought I had posted on here.. but I guess I only posted on my personal blog, so I am SO sorry about that!!! But thanks so much for worrying about me :) You gals (and guys) ROCK!
So.. as I said, I went out of town for about a week, with my sisters for a "sisters getaway" and just returned home on the 19th! It was a TON of fun, and so good to just hang with the girls. I did miss my hubby, but I am really close to all of my sisters, so it was fun to get some quality time with them :).
So I am home.. but not for long! We leave in 2 DAYS (Ben and I), to head off to Anaheim, CA for the Semi-Annual Craft and Hobby Trade show (CHA)! I am really excited because this is where craft and scrapbooking manufacturers debut their brand new products for the spring of 2009! We get to see all the yummy goodies and order all of the new products for our upcoming kits! Speaking of kits.. I know many of you wondered why we hadn't done our mid-month newsletter yet (which of course I thought I had posted about on this blog before I left.. but.. no.. just me thinking crazy! LOL)..
anyhow.. so we are SO excited because in our February kits, we have some BRAND new products that are being released at The show NEXT WEEK!! This means you will be some of the FIRST to get your hands on these new products! But because the products are so new, and haven't even been released yet to other retailers, some of the manufacturers asked me not to share them with anyone, until they debuted them at CHA. Soooo.. it didn't really make sense to do a mid-month newsletter because we didn't have any peeks we could share (yet) ! BUT the good news is, that when we get back, we will do a newsletter, on the 30th.. 2 days before the 1st, so you can get a peek at what we have in store!
So watch for that!
Also fun for CHA.. we have decided to do a giveaway..in honor of CHA.. so we will pick 2 winners from today's blog post, that will win some of the brand new products we have been sent (sneak peek samples) from CHA!! So just post onto today's blog post to get entered to win!
thanks again for worrying about me! YOU all ROCK! have a wonderful week!
Christy
glad you had a safe (& fun) trip! looking forward to all of the new stuff about to be realeased... just cant wait to get my hands on some of it :)
