New Products Revealed

This is always a super hectic time of year. There are so many things to do in preparation for a show and inevitably there is always a snafu! I usually get super tired and get sick right before a show. Knock on wood....not sick yet! :) The printing of the stickers is exciting but also fraught with anxiety. There are always a few misprints and that holds up the shipping of the product. That has happened this time but I'm good with it. We are shipping now and I love that feeling.

And the catalog is printed and mailing and that is always the key to the beginning of the cycle. People like getting a printed catalog. The internet is amazing, but people like to have that catalog and turn the pages and touch the sample. Everyday we are sending out another batch of catalogs.

And the show is just around the corner. We are pretty much ready. The booth has been shipped. The class for 200 people (yes...200) has shipped and the class is almost full. YAY! The make & takes are done and shipped. Just a few more things to do and a few things to carry in my suitcase and then we will be done.

One snag... you are not really ever done. The show is HUGE and the work is grueling. After the show you have lots of shipping and lots of following up with the people you met at the show. And immediately after the show I'm doing a Shop Hop here in Southern California visiting 15 stores and doing make & takes with our new products.

Like I said, it's a busy time of year. Want to see a few new products? Here are a few. Enjoy!
