As I mentioned in my post last Friday, A Muse has a booth at the Craft & Hobby tradeshow this year. Heidi, Cindy, Julie, Novell and I flew down to Anaheim on Friday night for the show. We set up the booth on Saturday and then had a fun dinner with the A Muse crew that was in town for the show. You can see a group picture over at Michelle's blog. It was great fun to hang out with the talented gals that are part of our Creative Teams.
Heidi and I came home last night leaving Cindy as the Chick-in-Charge (she's good at this). The show was great. It was fun to see our customers in person and chat with them about how well A Muse products sell in their stores. Everyone loves all our *NEW* products that we will be announcing here shortly.
Julie did a fun make & take project at our booth. We will share it here with you soon because it is a fun project! Julie was a good sport about the make and take. At the last minute, I changed things up a bit to incorporate *ultrafine glitter*. Of course, the glitter LOOKS fabulous but... working with glitter is fine when working alone in your craft room but many hands in the glitter pot makes for a rather messy affair. I think I owe her a few appletinis!! <wink!>
I enjoyed meeting so many "online" friends and familiar faces at the show. One of the highlights for me was to meet Linda Duke, our Elzybells NA Guest Designer this month. She is such a delight - just like her cards. Be sure to check out her Guest Designer creations over the Elzybells NA blog.
Heather took some fabulous photos of our booth so I'm going to check with her and see if I can post some of them here.
OK - back to the new products because I know that if I don't post this you will not forgive me! LOL! Our new A Muse & Elzybells products began shipping to stores last week so they will have plenty in stock by the 19th which is when we will reveal all of our new goodies to you. So, plan to stop by your local stamp store (click here to find the store nearest you!) on the 19th and tell them I sent you.
Stay tuned for Sneak Peeks of all our new products beginning on Valentine's Day... our treat for you! Ooh la la!
Oooooooooh! Pictures, please! Can't wait for your sneak peeks. Wahoo!

Linda, Your photos look great! Looks like you all had a great time. Question for you though...I am taking one of Julie's online classes next week and she stated that a couple of the stamp sets that she will be using for it will be available today. Will we be able to see/order before her class on the 20th? Thanks!
