CHA Tradeshow Day 4 - Wish You Were Here!

Howdy guys! Layle back with you again today with the last of the CHA Tradeshow updates. We're sure having fun hanging out with all of our retailer friends and talking all things Simple Stories.

As much fun as that is, wouldn't it be fun if you guys were here with us? We'd have quite the party, wouldn't we? :) Although, we'd have to have a weeeee bit bigger booth to fit all of you!

Since you can't be here, I thought it would be fun to share lots of pictures today - it's the next best thing to being here! Not the best photos - all taken from my little iPhone, convention center lighting, etc - but they'll do, right? :)

How about some palm trees to kick us off this morning?

We're from Utah and it is COLD & SNOWY at home this time of year. There's something about seeing palm trees here that makes it such a happy place, even if we only see them on the way into the convention center in the morning and on the way out at the end of the day!

Jodi (left) and Sherman (right) are part of our awesome sales team and Vicki has been manning the make & take table, showing the retailers how to use our fun, new DIY Do It Yourself products!

There are 9 of us here for the show. Rather than staying in a hotel this time, we rented a big house near Disneyland. It's been fun hanging out after dinner - lots of laughs! On the first night, a bunch of us sat at the big kitchen table making DIY Design It Yourself samples for the booth - lots of cards, pockets, envelopes and tags (like the ones below). We had so much fun!

(lots of backs of heads on this one! Jodi H in customer support at the bottom of the photo, then going clockwise - Sue in marketing, Vicki Boutin, Becky in sales, and Amber - owner & creative director)

Here's some more fun, new products live and in person -

SN@P! Sets

If you don't already have a 4 legged friend or two of your own, these cards are cute enough to make you want to get one so you can scrap it!

Awesome texture & pattern in our new Burlap SN@P! Binders -

Little bits of themed goodness in our Fresh Air and Hey Mom Simple Sets -

Alrighty guys! That wraps up our CHA coverage. Hope you've enjoyed seeing what it's like, it's the next best thing to having you here!
