From the Daisy Patch

Please don’t forget, if you are planning on putting in a submission for the design team the deadline is the 20th.  It amazes me each time we do a design team call the incredibly talented women that that go for it.  I admire each and every person that has the tenacity and perseverance to go after what they want in this industry.  Personally I feel just having the fortitude to put yourself out there makes you a winner!   Nike was definitely onto something big with their “just do it” ad campaign! 

If you are interested you can find more information on the Daisy Diva call here.

What are you doing today?  I’m working away for a couple hours at a coffee shop before picking up the kids.  We are going to meet up with a friend for lunch and a playdate.  That’s definitely one great advantage of working for yourself — setting your own schedule.  I’ll be up working late tonight but it’s worth it get some time with the kids on a gorgeous summer day!

The emails from manufacturers have been rolling in with peeks at their new product.  For a down market, there are some really gorgeous new products that will make a debut at CHA.   The last few emails included ones from Cosmo Cricket and from Crate Paper and I love what both of these companies have coming out!

Are you wondering about the August kit?  We are all so excited about the coming month’s kit!!!  It will include papers from American Crafts brand new as yet unreleased Blue Skies line as well as papers from My Mind’s Eye spanking new Abbey Road line!  And, one of the best things is that we are going to be one of the very first to be able to bring you these papers!!!

And here’s another little peek for you today.  Each kit will include an entire package of the beautiful Fabulous Deluxe Brads from Chatterbox!

Love those!  That’s it for now; off to pick up a couple little towheads!
