Craft SuperShow Chicago
I’m baaaaack! It’s hard to believe I haven’t blogged for more than a week! Every night in the hotel room I would think, “I should post on my blog”, but everything from my head down to my toes (including my fingertips) was just too exhausted! The CHA Summer Trade Show was full of exciting new tools, papers, and embellishments and I can’t wait to stock the TE Store with all of the goodies we ordered! Let me tell you about a few of my favorite things that should be arriving soon:
Best Christmas Collection: Crate Paper Snowy Day
Best Other Collection: It’s a tie between October Afternoon Modern Homemaker & Doodlebug Bon Appetit
Best Embellishment: Fabric Tape and Sassafras Lass Vintage Brooches
Best Overall: Cosmo Cricket new collections!
After the trade show, the TE team prepared the booth for the Craft SuperShow. Here’s the team before the show started…aren’t they cute? And let me be the first to say these gals are amazing! Their beautiful samples and bright smiles had old friends and new fans visiting us throughout the show! From left to right in the photo above is: Karen Giron, ME, Karen Motz, Carolina Buchting, Alex Maldonado, Linda Cook (my mom), Sankari Wegman, Melissa Sauls, and our Whimsical Wishes illustrator Nancy McKinney. The only member of the team not pictured is my hubby, Jon.
He was our cashier throughout the entire show and he also happens to look fabulous in fuschia! *grin* He thought he’d be super funny and duck down shorter than me in this picture. Really… I’m tall, but not that tall! 🙂 Another special thank you to my mom who worked so hard cutting and prepping hundreds of make and takes, putting her special handmade touch on the TE booth, and entertaining the team with her goofiness! And last, but certainly not least, a HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by 
to check out the Taylored Expressions booth! It was so fun to see old friends, meet new friends, and put faces with the names who follow TE online. The show wouldn’t have been a success without you and we appreciate your support!
If you were at the SuperShow you got a little sneak peek of our latest products and an opportunity to be among the first to purchase them! For those of you who weren’t able to attend the show, we have an exciting week ahead of us as we share the latest TE stamps and a new tool that will change the way you craft! So stay tuned!!
