Scrap Your Trip Adds 311 Items + KI Memories Pre-Order
Entry Filed under: New Items Added
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.

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.

Welcome home, and all of your Chicago scrappers are glad you enjoyed our city! Sorry about the rain, but after the winter we had we are all just grateful that you don’t have to “shovel” the rain! It has made for lovely gardens (and horrific weeds!). Would be fun for you to have a ‘get-together’ with customers in a town when you’re here for 5 days….maybe next time.
You know you have more than devoted customers when I checked my email about 4 times yesterday, looking for my Wednesday “fix” of SYT ‘new stuff’! I logged on to the website to see if it was posted and somehow it didn’t show up in my mailbox! If you could see my Scrapping Room and how full it is, you’d understand!
You run a good company, Julie!

Love all the new stuff you have this week. Also love reading about a real, live person being able to pack 5 days worth of stuff into a carry-on. You are my hero! I really MUST give that a try.
Thanks for the great website.

My friend Liz went to Rome for a week with only a carry on, she doesn’t fly any other way. (Psst: she used to work for Northwest!)
