new Cricut magazines

Thankfully today my camera was working and I got lots of photos to share.  As usual, there were lots of great things to choose from.  Of course, we are still ordering all the lines that I couldn't get to order at the show.


It was nice to get to see all the great people working the show like KC from My Mind's Eye.

Most of you will recognize Mitra from Impression Obsession and may know Cindy Smith one of our prior sales reps that we miss.  I haven't placed this order yet so if you have any requests let me know.  I'll be getting a bunch of the Christmas stamps.  And did I mention that we may be getting Mitra to teach a class in October?

Suzy West was just enjoying the show this trip.  The good news is that we will be one of only 4 stores that she will be teaching at in September.  One of her classes is going to be using Simple Stories Christmas line.

I was sucked in by this adorable garden gnome from Jillibean Soup.

I just wished I could have gotten one of these cute gnome t-shirts.  If Lisa would have been with me, she would have mugged the girl in the bathroom for the t-shirt.

These great little accordion albums will be a fun make and take.

This winter line is just one of the five lines I ordered from Little Yellow Bicycle.
