I'm home...so tired. I think Ty and I finally went to bed around 2am. We stayed up talking about everything. I am so lucky in that he supports me 1,000% in all that I do and am. I know everyone expressed that they missed Ty helping with the make n takes- and Taylor too. Ty was so CUTE in that he was watching all the videos from the show that I taped. Many TC videos are up on You Tube now. I think this has truly grown in the last couple of years. I would say that I did around ten videos of the booth this show. The very first one- the first one that was bright and early on the first day was the talented Amy Coon with PAPERLIFE.COM.
I always love the shows for so many reasons. I always make NEW friends that I consider life long friends. I get the chance to see "old" although they are SO not old in the age sense- friends. I see so many of the retailers that support me and have for years. I want it always to be a two way street. I care about customer service and helping stores that carry my products to feel like they are supported. I KNOW that I am not perfect and I am definitely learning a lot with this experience. So many decisions that I had to make. I guess you could say that I'm learning so much as I go forward. I want to thank EVERYONE in the booth that worked so hard with me. I could not have done it without Stephanie, Echo, Candice, Greta, Becky and Jesse. THANK YOU!!!!
More photos from the last day-
This girl- Melody Ross BLOG - well, I love her forever. SHE is just is amazing. SHE is the BRAVEST girl I know. Her heart is pure and good and well- she had an amazing show. Loved her new CHIP ART tool. Such a beautiful TALENTED woman. Her fireside on Sunday was so heart touching. So excited that she will be at Inspiration Unlimited and share her MESSAGE with us.
Filming a segment for COMCAST-
I wish I could read the article that I am showing in this magazine. The magazine is from the Netherlands. I was interviewed for an article and they called it "Follow Your Dreams."
Wow... I wish I had ALL of the photos taken at the show to show. I can't believe it...but I'm crying RIGHT now. I see all my wonderful friends and think that I am ONE lucky lucky girl. I love documenting life and creating...and well along the journey- I met AMAZING woman. For this- I am so grateful.
I will find out today about the RAFFLE for the chandelier. This is so sparkly and fun. I know that my kids are SO EXCITED. I had called home and told the girls that the chandelier that we created as a family was going to be raffled off to help HAITI. My girls were beyond thrilled. My son this morning before school asked if we were able to make money for all the people who needed help. I can't tell you how much this means to me- that HE would be concerned and want to help. For he record, Gentry and McKay helped me glue the hundreds of gems on this...I know I mentioned it before on the blog- but I have such love and support from my family. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I have had several companies who want to help me. They have GENEROUSLY offered to give me product to support this fundraiser. So if you do not win the Sparkly Chandelier- you could win a prize from Basic Grey, My Mind's Eye (the ENTIRE LUSH collection), the PINK scor-it board from Scor-it, Shimmerz....so many more.
HAPPY Thursday!!!!!
