More Pics (and a Video) from York . . .
Pat Larson from Heirloom Productions emptied his camera a couple of days ago – he got a few good shots of the booth and the giveaway on Saturday in York, Pennsylvania . . . Free stuff really does draw a crowd, doesn’t it? And then there was...
So Far Behind and So Little Time . . .
I am so far behind. In many ways, it’s my own fault – but every fall it seems that several shows and my golf trip all seem to come up at the same time. And it did again this year. This was my schedule for the past few weeks . . . on Friday, October 2 I...
Staying Connected Is Sometimes a Challenge . . .
It has been a hectic week – a very hectic week. The Fort Wayne show was last weekend, and afterward I spent most of Monday loading/unloading the truck to get ready for this weekend’s show in York, PA. Because in the predawn hours of Tuesday morning, I...
Where Do We Start?
Where do we start? All of these arrived at the mail center within ten minutes of each other this morning. Looks like we have some shipping to do! And this is just for fun – I dropped off our company truck to be serviced this morning, and this old fire...
Oh How I Love It When New Items Ship Early . . .
The notice arrived a couple of days ago – one of those messages I love to read or hear . . . Sizzix was letting us know that the new Crazy Things die set is on its way to us – it was expected in October but it looks like we’ll actually get it (and so will most of you)...
With the Name, It’s Hard to Believe That I Forgot . . .
I sent an e-mail out to our list about ten days ago, announcing 213 new dies from Memory Box and our intention to put them on sale for 20% off the MSRP through September 10. When I do that sort of thing, I usually put a note on the blog as well – most of you...
It’s Finally Purple . . .
I started predicting it in March, but I was wrong – in March, April and May – and then I finally gave up. This was living proof why I don’t bet on anything. I tell people that I have made thousands of dollars in the lottery over the years – because I have...
Christmas in September . . .
I sat down to my computer at work this morning – going through the e-mail, one of the first items I saw wanted to know when the Tim Holtz Christmas Items that were on his blog yesterday were going to be on our site. My initial reaction was “I did that back in...
Birthdays Are Always Special . . .
Friday was Mom’s birthday. Birthdays are always special in our family, but as the family grows it gets harder and harder to get everyone together at the same time to celebrate. We ran into that this weekend – Ryan and Emily both work retail and had to...
Random Thoughts . . .
No specific theme here – just random thoughts with pictures to illustrate. If one doesn’t interest you, keep going – the next one might. Yesterday was the first day of school in my hometown. So Facebook was awash with “first day of school pics” – how in...
