CHA: Celebrity Watch

Celebrity watch! We hung out with Elsie Flannigan, Marah Johnson, Karen Russell, and Christine Adolph, Danelle Johnson (not pictured) and yes, Tim Holtz. (Tonya, I have to get that photo of you guys to post here!) These designers, and many other designers who are at the booths at the tradeshow, are always so friendly and have a lot of great tips for how to use the products they designed. It is definitely one of the highlights of any show for us to go chat with these folks. Even better, we got to take classes with most of them, too! Another highlight was mingling with Martha Stewart at a special reception for top retailers of EK Success products. Martha is launching a new crafts line that will be available later this year, and she is planning to start doing more scrapbooking segments on her television show, which will continue to boost interest in the hobby. (She really has a very dry, funny wit in person.)
