Happy New Year!

Wow!  Here we are part way through January and I still have a Christmas picture on here as my last post!  How time flies as we live life!  I never wanted to believe my mother when she told me about this phenomenon when I was young.  Time seemed to slowly pass as I was always looking forward to something...finally being a teenager, for the clock to signal the end of the school day, looking forward to the week-ends, well, you get the picture.  Can you relate?
This month marks a big trade show for the craft industry called CHA.  Those of us that work in this industry look forward to attending and showing our own work as well as gaining inspiration at seeing all of the new trends in color, design and crafting.  The creativity of the world comes together in this one place and it is exciting!

We are going to premiere our new patented product, CraZy TACKz at the show.  There are many applications to crafting and we are going to show how we do that!  Pre-show is always a hectic time for all of us that have to prepare for it, lots to do and then lots more to do. 
I want to give a little preview of some of the things I have been working on to get ready for the show.  Since this show is all about Creativity, I have created some "idea/project sheets" to hand out at our booth.  There will be new projects and ideas posted on the new website that will be up soon for CraZy TACKz.  The new Designer packs of CraZy TACKz are available now and come in an assortment of totally awesome colors!  The packages by themselves make them worthy of gift giving!  They are so much fun and there will be more products to come.

OK, here is a preview of projects we will be sharing at the show.  The slogan, "Create It Yourself" will identify our many ways to turn a craft project into a useful Home Dec item.  Here is one sample:

Do you like to scrapbook and craft with memory papers and all of the supplies that go with them?  We have lots of ideas to give you another reason to pull out those supplies and of course get some CraZy TACKz.  If you will be attending the show, I look forward to seeing you there.  This is also the place for us to catch up with old friends who reside in various spots all over the country.  Well....so much to do and so little time.  I wish for you...health, happiness and blessings in the coming year.  Now, back to work!

Happy Crafting!
