Well, I did it.  I accomplished something I didn’t think was possible.  I went on a 5-day business trip with just a carry-on bag!  After the lost luggage fiasco in Utah, I decided I was going to attempt the carry-on route.  I’m an admitted overpacker and it took two suitcase attempts and several unpacks and repacks, but I did it.  I ended up with only one extra outfit, but used everything else in my suitcase.  I have to say, it was very freeing.  I didn’t have to get to the airport as early as I would have.  We didn’t need to get a luggage cart when we got to the hotel.  But the best part was getting off the plane last night and just walking right to the parking garage.  I think I might be on to something!

 

We had a great trip to Chicago.  Lani, my operations manager, went with me and it was one of the most fun business trips I’ve been to in a long time.  It rained every day we were there and we didn’t leave the convention center/hotel the whole time, but it was still a lot of fun.  Even after 5 days together, we weren’t getting on each other’s nerves, which is saying a lot when you spend 5 days with someone 24/7.  We learned a lot and met a lot of great people, so all in all, I would say it was a success.

 

The Reminisce Signature Series is here!  It has 44 different themes, each with 2 different double-sided papers and 2 matching stickers.  Every theme you can think of is included, from travel to tooth fairy, moving to Marines.  The SYT Design Room has made lots of cute die-cuts in themes including England, Japan, Southwest, Sports and Wine.  We made quite a few summer vacation die cuts, including a custom theme park character hat (you know, the black one with ears).  We’ll even "embroider" your name on the back!

We have one of Tiffany’s (one of our designers) favorite companies for pre-order this week:  KI Memories.  We have the Lace Cardstock, and the Love, Elsie Claire, Cody, Daisy, Forrest and Bloom collections.  Of course, we have put together matching Bazzill packs and taken the guesswork out for you.  The estimated ship date for this pre-order is July 2nd.  If you need your other items sooner, please place them in a separate order.  Click here to pre-order KI Memories:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/kimemories.html.  Since I’m a day late in getting this e-mail out due to my Chicago trip, I’m extending last week’s pre-order from Cloud 9 and Imaginisce one more day.  Click here to order:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/cl9imaginisce.html.

 

 I hope you are having a wonderful week!  As always, thanks for your business.
