At the stamp convention this weekend several people commented to me that with some people time can go by without any contact, but you see each other and it feels as no time has passed. That is just how these big, old conventions go. It was wonderful to see old friends with whom I have been a vendor many times at many conventions over the years.
It is always a wonderful treat to spend time with Chris and Mike Meador of Coffee Break Design and Judi and Rob of Judikins. We enjoyed some good talks and lots of hugs.
Karen Morikawa, Mary Jo McGraw and Elaine Madrid were fun to see again at Elaine's booth, too.
I hadn't seen Jackie (Inky Antics) or Michelle Cutts (Art Gone Wild) for a few years and we had a chance to catch up a little bit.
And, of course, Tim (can't remember his last name, oh yeah...Holtz) is always in a good mood and fun to see again. Also good to see Mario and Ted and so many others that I have not seen in awhile since we have dropped out of the convention circuit.
Connie Williams and I go back a couple of decades. Connie puts on a wonderful convention. It is always well attended, well organized and fun. Thanks Connie, for letting us participate. We had a great time all around. Thanks too, to all the shoppers that came and spent time with us in our booth. It was so much fun to chat and laugh and reminisce with all of you.
We had a good space at the show. Following are a few pics of our booth:
It is good to be home.
Just a couple of reminders:
We are still taking sign ups for the rest of the Small Studio Workshops.
Small Studio Emporium and my Etsy shop will re-open later this week.
