I had a great time at The Collins Group Rep show. The Collins Group is a manufacturer sales representative group to the retail trade. Sizzix asked me to come and demo new dies by Tim Holtz and do a M&T with the store owners. I love the new Texture Fades with Bigz die sets he has out. I got to play with the Layered Leaf and the new Thinlits Alphanumeric dies. Read through the article for a nice surprise.
The Sizzix booth was beautiful as always and these girls are so organized and know what they are doing.
Setting up, getting ready to go. People are outside waiting! Yay, I scored a Sizzix shirt too.
My sweet friend, Anita Houston, attended the event as well. It was good to see her and laugh with her.
The next day, I spent working with Jaime in The Crafter’s Workshop booth. Look at all the new stencils! As Design Team Coordinator for The Crafter’s Workshop and a traveling educator, it was really a good chance to learn how orders are put together and how stores choose the stencils they are ordering.
All of this is part of Living the Art Life™ and why I love my job. I get to work with amazing people, great manufacturers, and fabulous products. I get to do what I love and share this passion with others at the same time.
