CHA Was an Amazing Trip!
Store News and EventsWell, we survived our first CHA… Tiffany handled flying pretty well, although the anticipation of only being 15 minutes from Albany on the way home shook her up a bit. She “white-knuckled” it for the whole descent and let out a few minor yelps as the plane turned and landed.
Here is the corridor between Gates B and C at O'Hare... Wow!
Wow, we don’t know where to start except to tell you that we are pumped up! We have so many awesome ideas swirling around in our heads that our heads ache! Wait until you see what we do with this new-found inspiration! You will start to see some changes to the store’s appearance, to our on-line presence and in our fall/winter class line-up. You will definitely reap the benefits of our little trip to Chicago last week. We are sooooo excited!!!!!
Each day was jam packed with visuals, demos, make & takes, introductions and more. After we left the convention, we sought out good eateries where we could sit back with our notebook and recap the day, expanding our notes and listing the ideas. A whirlwind of thought and creativity!!
The Hyatt Regency had an in house Starbucks which helped to get us going and keep us going with a fill-up of hight test before taking it all in!
We can’t think of anyone who wasn’t there from the scrapbook world. We had our favorites, of course, but we discovered some great new ones too. You will see additional posts outlinig some specifics on our most inspirational product lines and vendors.
Here is a bird's eye view of the calm before the storm, the floor hadn't opened yet and this photo depicts probably 1/20th of the Convention Floor!
We didn’t come back empty handed either, we made some great purchases, and look forward to it’s arrival. Look for new Graphic 45 and My Mind’s Eye, Quick Quotes and a great roll-out from We are Memory Keepers. The class ideas we saw will blow everyone away so get ready!!
We found Tiffany's Hair Twin at CHA! These two have the exact same hair, (except for color, of course) and they spotted each other and recognized their shared trait right away! Fun!!
Keep an eye out for more posts about CHA along with BIG changes in the store.
You can now follow us on Facebook and Twitter too! Yea!
