well bloggers i'm back from the cha-summer show in chicago! as always it's great to be home, but with so many ideas and inspiration spinning in my head after these shows i'm spending some time in my studio this weekend for sure. a huge shout out to mario for all of his tweets throughout the show. if you're not following mario on twitter, you're definitely missing out on all of the behind the scenes fun so follow him here. a creative shout out to the hand full of talented designers that helped to create some eye catching samples for the booths (tammy tutterow, dina wakley, richele christensen, may flaum, wendy vecchi), and thanks to the many friends that helped out setting up and breaking down the booths. a sincere thank you to all of the great companies i design for (ranger, idea-ology, sizzix alterations, coredinations, tonic, and stampers anonymous) for trusting in my ideas and bringing them to market. what a dream it is to see them all in real life...it's amazing...
so as promised, here's my video recap of this year's cha-summer show. be sure to leave a comment and let us know what products you're most excited about getting your hands on. we've brought a few of them back to give away to some lucky winners on monday - it just might be you...t!m

We had a great time at all of the booths you design for! I especially liked the Ideaology one. The Halloween samples using Wendy Vecchi's Art Parts were awesome.

Golly, Tim, how can you ask which goodies we want the most?! Want them ALL!!! But will be getting the new Distress Stains, stamps, Idealogy wonders, papers -- not to mention the new storage beauties -- as soon as possible, and all the others shortly afterwards! Would love to win ANYTHING -- what a help to my poor old wallet that would be!
Greetings to you all from France - Sally
