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.

My greatest challenge it time. I can rarely sit down for long enough to crank out a page or too. I am really slow scrapbooker and I deliberate over the details for hours!!!
Wow, thanks for another chance at a great give-away! ;-)

This morning I looked outside and felt a little depressed because it's Friday and the weather is just so-so. But then I saw your e-mail with all these possibilities ... Never mind if it rains ... it can even snow for all I care ... Got to scraplift one of the samples. Thank you for bringing me joy :)
