It's in our store in Dayton and it lasts all week -- the 5th Annual Marco's Paper Spring Spectacular from April 25 thru May 1!  Seven days of fun and frivolity, with Free Make & Takes and Demos, 25% to 40% Off Selected Items -- and a Different Product Line on...

I have been home from the Akron show for several days, but between duties at home, monsoon rains, prep for next week’s Spring Spectacular in the store, and prep for my golf trip next week, I have never posted a few choice images from the weekend.  So here goes ....

We spent last weekend with hundreds and hundreds of friends in Allentown, Pennsylvania.  This is the show that used to be in Pennsauken, New Jersey – but moved to Allentown when the Expo Center in Pennsauken was sold and the new owners announced it would be torn...

Welcome back!  I received a lot of really nice feedback from folks who came along for the ride during the first installment of this year’s Arizona adventures.  Brace yourselves – you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet . . . The picture at left doesn’t say a lot, until I...

I am back at work today.  It’s a strange feeling.  My brother and I agreed yesterday that it was time to go home – but we weren’t ready to leave the Arizona weather behind.  Thankfully, we got a day to get acclimated before the climate reverts to normal...

We are having so much fun here in Tucson.  It probably wasn’t the nicest thing I have ever done when I dropped that snake photo on you a couple of days ago – but that was fun, too.  I will share three images from our trip with you now, but the rest will have...

One leftover image from the Indianapolis show a couple of weekends ago – if you have read my musings for more than a year (hard to believe this blog is now two years old), you might remember this picture of a pay phone in the back of the building where the show is...

One of the nice things about the Indianapolis show comes when it’s all over, the booth is torn down, and the truck is packed – it only takes 2½ hours to get home.  And trust me, it’s nice to put the key in the lock at 9:00 p.m. and see a friendly face and a...
