A*muse*a*palooza, Canvas class, & CHA.

I am sooooo behind on my little blog, but here we go.
First up, A muse a palooza. We had a great time getting everything ready for our customers at Paper Tales

This is a canvas class I taught at Paper Tales, and every one did a different one.
They  all turned out so pretty, and we had a great time. Thank you girls for coming.
Here is a close up.

Michelle and I just got home from CHA in Chicago last night.
We got tons of new stuff, and lots of it will start shipping in Aug. so come on in and take a look.

Here we are with Debby Schuh having a few drinks, so yummy.

The first night in Chicago Michelle woke up at 4AM with MAJOR tooth pain, due to a root canal she had done prior to our trip. So here we are at 4 in the morning driving around in a taxi ($40) to find a 24 hour pharmacy that is open, to get her medicin that her doctor wich we called and woke up at 3am, had called in from San Diego. Oh man what a start on a day, and poor Michelle she was in so much pain.

Jenni Bowlin's booth is just the best, we felt right at home here, and ordered all her new stuff.

Claudine Hellmuth new line Studio Product line is great, love her paints, and adore her work.

It is always fun to catch up with Heidi Swapp she never fail to take time out to sit down and talk.
She came out with 3 new lines, and we got all of them.

Making Memories Christmas Line in da house as well.

7 Gypsies booth is always a favorite of mine, so many cool displays and awesome books.
We ordered lots.

Here we have a HUGE favorite of mine, the one and only Melissa Frances. She is a breast cancer surviver and has written very openly about it on the MF blog.
We ordered a lot of MF stuff, and love the Christmas.
Talking about Melissa, just wait what we at Paper Tales have in store for you. Stay tuned ;-)

Here I am at Autumn Leaves, with the super sweet Becky Novacek where we ordered the new Rhonna Farrer line "Urban Junque".

This was the last day, and we ordered lots more check out Paper Tales blog for more pix.

I am off to spend some time with my kids.
ciao,
helle
