breathe...

I keep reminding myself of this. Don't run faster than you can walk... I am so over the top HAPPY but I have so much on my plate. I am doing nonstop designs for the CHA S- TC product releases. I am full of ideas and am feeling so happy with how everything turned out. My new papers arrived at my house and I am designing my class for RUBAN ROUGE (August 1st) Palm Harbor, FL. It's all BRAND new...and I'm scrambling to get it designed and then kitted by next week. The class is SOLD OUT but guess what???? they had some people who have not paid and so it looks like there may be some spots. I even am bringing some extra kits to the class- to help with my daughters drill team fundraiser. MORE later!!!

I am going to start showing my sneak peeks on MONDAY...yes, I can't wait any longer. Plus, guess what? The releases will start shipping right away during CHA S week. Yes, that is what I love- my distributor knows you want it NOW- ha! I will keep everyone posted on my blog because I am aware of many of you who are store owners who WILL NOT be attending the show.

In fact, I will NOT be there. This show was a tough decision for many retailers. They changed the location and for several reasons there is a much lower anticipated attendance at the show. With my daughters drill team, they dance all Summer- I only had ONE week that would work with our family schedule. We decided to finally do a BIG family trip- using all our flight miles- we are flying to Florida and going on a cruise. It is one of the Carnival "fun ships" and with the economy it was such a deal. It will be my kids first cruise. So after much thought, I planned a vacation for our family. I have not missed a CHA S in years, so this is just WEIRD for me. I get off the cruise ship and Lisa (thank you my friend) will pick me up and take me to Palm Harbor to teach at her AMAZING store. Ruban Rouge won me to come teach and I can't wait!!!!!!!!

HOWEVER, my products will be at CHA S trade show. Product Performers will be there and will have all my new products there...PLEASE stop by and see my new releases- I will have my projects displayed and will so miss seeing everyone....

Back to work- planning a bridal shower for Kayla. Off to get my son's haircut too. So much to do!

happy summer!
