The end came fast. We just got started good and it was the end. Isn't that they life runs? On the last day Ruth and I were determined to do make-n-takes and see demos. We test drove the new ProvoCraft Imagine. That's was one drive. I really love it. I made and Idea-ology key chain, Christmas. So I'm in the Christmas mood. Little Yellow Bicycle has a cute card displaying their Christmas paper line.
Trends:
....tools to make scrapbooking easier like the portable scanner that won the Innovation Award and Epiphany's button and embellishment maker that won Innovative Booth (something like that) Award;
....Halloween I think out number Fall and Christmas papers;
....electronic die cut machines, Silhouette...e-cut...e-clips...Slice...and all types of Circuts;
...vintage;
....media coverage was astounding. Many companies were professional recording the make-n-takes or there was media there to cover Suede from Project Runway and of course our one and only Amy Coon from The Paper Life or Susan Mintmire from Paper Crafters Corner.
Here's my last day of photos and a slide show of inspiration:

It was a great trip and Ruth and I saw God's mercy every step of the way. Like when I left my Garmin and Blackberry on top of the car when I went into the hotel to check in, went to my room and just happen to have to take something to the car. There they were! Or when the truck would not shut and Dan the hotel engineer fixed and closed it for us. Or the pleasure of dining in local historic restaurants and seeing the best of people. I am grateful for God's protection while we were on the road and throughout CHA.
