Greetings from Orlando (a VERY hot Orlando)! Day 3 at CHA was another amazing day looking at new products, catching up with friends and meeting some new ones too (did we mention it is a little warm here?). We have seen some great new trends including more of our favourites such as monsters, smaller scaled designs for cardmakers, lots of adorable houses and some GORGEOUS new holiday lines. It will be an exciting fall and winter for all! Here are some more photos from today.

Awesome bolg candy opp. I envy you at CHA. I think it would be so overwhelming the first time and really exciting every time afterwards. All the new product under one roof!! My weakness is new tools. ellen a

Oh my goodness! What beautiful papers, both Day 2 and Day 3! I'd better get to work using the papers I have so I can justify buying lots of new ones. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a great weekend at CHA!
