I finally have found the time to sit and blog about CHA! It has been a complete whirlwind for us since day 1 of the show. All I can say is WOW! Our booth was busy from the time the doors opened, to the time they closed. Janet and I could not even talk to each other about who stopped by, we had to literally go out the back door to keep caught up on all the AWESOME contacts we made. I really don't know where to start. Yes I do, our design team!! Without them, we would not have all this praise on our company. Thank you guys so much! I hope you get your name out in the publishing community tenfold! You are each so very talented! Michelle Klomp, we owe you a million. Without you and your email from day 1 asking if we had a design team yet, thank you thank you thank you! We really enjoyed meeting you in person, I am just bummed we could not have spent more time with you. We will in the future. Their will be plenty of opportunities for us to be together.
Where do I start?? We are publishing our first book! The publishing company actually took our samples off our booth on day 4 and sent them straight to the photo studio. This will be a 22 page book on our acrylic and all the cool stuff you can do to our product. Don't be fooled by the "imatation" acrylic out there, ours can be dry embossed and manipulated without cracking and showing stress marks. It is a unique material we have come up with to do what we are wanting. A 2nd publishing company came to us and "borrowed" yet more samples to be included in their "current" book being printed. This should be in stores in March. We will keep you posted!!
We got a call today from our local news station. Someone leaked to the press that we are now worldwide with our sales. AWESOME! We were wanting to do a press release, just haven't had the time yet. It aired tonight on our news channel. PLEASE go to it and watch it!! www.wgem.com
We are filming (not us, Judi at Judi Kins) a WEBISODE on www.tvweekly.com on our acrylic albums. Please go there also and log in to get notified of mini classes they offer, weekly!! I will post our webisode on our site when its available. After these mini classes, you can print out the instructions for what you just watched! Be sure to check this site out! 1000's of ideas here!!
I am sure their is more, but I will stop here for tonight. PLEASE if you like our samples, pay our designers a visit and tell them GOOD JOB! We have CHA Summer to plan for now ;) :) www.clearscraps.com
Thank you for all your support by following our blog. I enjoy sharing such good news to the ones who believe in us! Especially our husbands! What a strong support team!! Jackie & Janet
