Howdy!
Layle here reporting LIVE from CHA in Las Vegas for Day 1 of the show!
One word describes yesterday - C.R.A.Z.Y.
Seriously! Yesterday literally flew by at the speed of light. We were so stinkin' busy. All. Day. Long. It was fantastic! So great to finally share our new collections and products in person. Almost like Kate & William introducing the new prince of Cambridge to the world... ;)
Lots of meeting with customers, order taking and fun!
And then there were the photos -
A good portion of the back wall of our booth is magnetic and covered with large icons from our new SN@P! Sets. Customers would pull them off the wall and pose for pictures that we took using these little babies -
Fuji Instax cameras. Have you seen these? Love them! Takes me back to my younger days - and yes, I was around back then - of Polaroid cameras and instant gratification. You point and shoot and the camera spits out a photo that processes within minutes :)
So, we bought a few of these to bring to the show and we thought it would be fun to share a little bit of the excitement and love from the show with you guys! We're giving away one of these fun Instax cameras and a package of film to one of our lucky readers! Just leave a comment on this post by Saturday the 27th at midnight and we'll draw and announce the lucky winner here on Sunday.
Good luck! And stay tuned tomorrow for Day 2 :)
