Release Event Recap

Erin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:23:26 +0000

Last weekend I spent some time at Craft Fancy in the Chicago area! They are the newest retailer to carry my stamps in their store and I had an awesome time meeting some of you and seeing what their design team made! This is the Make & Take that Marnie taught everyone how to make! Isn’t it great? I love the combo of sky blue and happy orange!

They used the Boughs stamp set, the sentiment from the Furnishing Fun set and the new Zing embossing powder from American Crafts. The embossing powder is awesome! It’s works well on even the finest of stamps and comes in great fresh colors! Thanks Marnie for letting me share!

Inside included the birth information and blessing information along with a spot for a photo of the new little one.

Trick or Treat!

Here’s what greeted the Trick or Treaters tonight!

My homemade ghost with felt eyes and a bouncy ball head. And my free spooky Halloween tree. I made Christian go with me and find a spooky dead branch at a little area of trees not far from our house. We found the perfect one and I stabilized it with a bucket of landscaping rocks we had in the garage. Next came little plastic skeletons I had and some orange pipe cleaners made into quick squiggles. I think it turned out alright. Next year I might have to try some orange lights. I also had little luminaries lighting the path. Some of the older boys found those amusing.

In general it was a good night. We passed out a lot of candy. It seemed that it started later than usual, probably because Daylight Savings time got changed from before Halloween to after Halloween and it’s really no fun Trick or Treating in full sunlight! At first I was worried that somehow the first 4-5 people that came to the door forgot the magic words….I opened the door and all I got was “Happy Halloween” and then their bag would open for me to drop candy in. I guess someone reminded them because after those first few it was “Trick or Treat” as normal.

Among the interesting things I heard tonight:

-Dude check these out! These are sweet! (Referring to my little plastic skeletons hanging from the tree)

-You look nice tonight. (I’m not sure how I feel about this one, coming from a boy about the age or 11 or 12. I was just wearing my Halloween shirt from Target…Hmm..)

-That’s all? The guy down the street gave us like 5 pieces! (I don’t think I need to explain this one.)

All in all a good night and the consensus is that we’ll do it again next year!
