well hello there bloggers... greetings from cha in chicago! day one is finished and i'm back in the hotel after a long, fun, and very busy day at the show. the vibe was great and everyone seemed very excited seeing all of the new stuff - of course so was i... i can't wait to get back into my studio and share all of the fun projects i've made not to mention some videos with all of you! some highlights of the day of course started off with the "official" debut of the vagabond machine right when the show opened. the excitement and response was so wonderful and thanks to everyone who waited patiently in line to see it!
the second hour i was off to idea-ology to showcase all of my new treasures including configurations, salvage stickers, and the new trimmings which seemed to have created some serious buzz (i'll be sharing the tutorial on that next week).
check out this cool vintage shopping cart i found and filled it with vintage festive goodness to display in the booth - talk about nostalgic!
the make & take in idea-ology was busy all day too with tracey doing an amazing job keeping everyone creative and happy. we did this fun project using the new facets, baubles, and seasonal papers to use as an ornament or just an element to adorn whatever they wish.
next i stopped over in the stampers anonymous booth to say hello to ted & michelle (mr. & mrs. stampers anonymous) to thank them for doing such a wonderful display for my 10 new stamp collections for the show. the display was incredible.
finally i was off to finish my day at the ranger booth with 4 hours of demos using distress inks, the new colors of distress stickles, alcohol inks, and a whole bunch of new alterations dies and texture fades with the vagabond. whew! what a day! heading to bed and hope i can get some sleep - my mind is spinning with ideas from a very inspiring day. thanks again everyone! looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow...i can't wait! t!m
I have to get the Sizzix Vagabond Machine! It's so cute!

I love it all, but I am REALLY coveting that shopping cart full of vintage Christmas. I scour antique shops for Shiny Brites, so that load made my heart skip a beat! What a fab idea for booth decor. :)
