SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

I have never known what excitement was until I was selected by CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) media judges to be included in the CHA Hot 20 Products Showcase!  I'm still pinching myself thinking it might be happening to someone else.

But wait!  Why should I feel that way?  Craft-Dee BowZ is a FABULOUS product!  And why not me?  I will be amongst the greats -- the list is as follows

1. Faber-Castell New Mediums to Mix & Match
2. Tim Holtz' Distress Metallic Stains
3. Tim Holtz Mirrored Sheets
4. Spellbinders Majestic Elements
5. Get-It-Straight Laser Square
6. Craft-Dee Bowz
7. Cosmo Cricket Gluber Strips
8. Clover French Knitter
9. Clover Basket Frames
10. Scrapbooking Attitude
11. All Natural Cake Kit for Dogs
12. Irojiten Color Dictionary
13. Impress Art Metal Stamping Kits
14. Cropper Hopper New Vertical Storage System
15. Stikr.It Story Patches
16. Color Me Card Toppers
17. Heidi Swapp Memory Display Stand
18. Penny Black Card & Rubber Stamp Collection
19. 3D Card Making Book
20. ColorBox Premium Dye Sprays by Stephanie Barnard

NOW do you see why I am so excited?!


You may be asking what this is all about?  This Sneak Peak Innovation Media & Buyers Event gives Craft-Dee BowZ the opportunity to do a 1-minute presentation to all  attending the show.  This will be followed up by 40 minutes of individual demonstration and presentation.  Basically, I will have a captive audience.  There will also be a final judging, but I don't know how many winners there will be yet.  I feel like Craft-Dee BowZ has already won!

So, I am repeating myself -- if you are attending CHA in Chicago, check out Booth 1016 (across from Craft Fusion) -- that's Craft-Dee BowZ!

Off to CHA!!

Yes, Craft-Dee BowZ is heading out to the "big time".  I will be leaving for Chicago CHA (Craft and Hobby Association Summer 2012)  on 7/16 to formally launch my wonderful little tool.  I am excited beyond belief, but am exhausted just trying to ready for it.  There is sooooo much to remember to pack -- and I don't mean my personal accoutrements!

So, if you are planning on attending or know of someone who will be attending, please let them know that Craft-Dee BowZ will be at spot 1016, diagonally across from Craft Fusion and in the Innovators Section.  The show opens on the 17th through the 19th and I hope to be able to take plenty of pictures to post for all my followers.

See you soon!

Back from West Springfield!

Wow!  What a great show!  Yes, in spite of the rain, the turnout was terrific at the Heirloom Rubber Stamps and Art Festival this past weekend.  When I tell you the Craft-Dee BowZ booth was mobbed, I'm not just kidding!  Here are the BEFORE pictures of the booth set-up.

Hubs and I set it up in about an hour like a well-oiled machine.  I gave him the fussy task of putting all the Craft-Dee BowZ on the display (shhh! It kept him out of my hair and from asking pointless questions! Well, someone had to do this part anyway!).

Well Day 1 of the show changed the look of things considerably -- but all in a good way. Take a look!

Here's my friend Chris in her Craft-Dee BowZ outfit doing her "thing".  She's such a powerhouse when she's demoing this product.  I should have taken a picture of us in our new finery which is a green shirt with my logo on the sleeve and pink aprons with the full logo (like the banner) on the front.  We were so cute! 

This is what the booth looked like ALL day long!  I never got up off my seat until 2:30 -- and that's only because my friends realized I hadn't moved (was I dead?  was I stuck to the chair?) since opening - it was that busy.  So my family and friends threw me out of my booth (this is historically what they do).  I wandered off, but was back in 10 minutes flat.  I felt guilty leaving them with such a hectic booth.  

I do want to say one thing to all you lovely ladies who dropped by to say hi even though you already owned a Craft-Dee BowZ.  They ALL told anyone within hearing distance that it was the greatest bow making tool they had ever owned and they loved it.  Whoever you all are, a thousand thank-you's from me to you.  I hope you'll drop a line on my blog whether you just bought one or you've had one for a while.  

Well, Craft-DeeBowZ is off to CHA (Craft and Hobby Associattion) next month in Chicago for the OFFICIAL launching of my product.  Wish me luck and expect to see the Craft-Dee BowZ in a store near you really soon!  If you own one and your store doesn't carry it yet, please drop by and show and tell them about this wonderful little invention.

I'm planning on putting up a new video very shortly showing you how I constructed the wrapped packages that you all drool over.  There will be more videos showing how I make all the little girl accessories (flip flops, earrings, rings, headbands and whatever else I come up with).  So many of you ask how it's done, so I'll get to work on doing those videos for you.

Getting ready...

...for West Springfield for the Heirloom Rubber Stamp and Arts Festival next weekend!  I'm so excited to be going back -- it's such a great show.  I'll have my family and wonderful Queens with me to help man the booth.  We will be decked out in our new finery and I'll be sure and take pictures for you to see in the event that you can't make the show.  But, trust me, it's a not-to-be-missed show!  The dates?  Well it's June 2nd and 3rd at the BigE in West Springfield, MA.  Even if you own a Craft-Dee BowZ, please drop on by and do our little Make & Take and share your experiences with this wonder tool!

I look forward to seeing you all and please pray for good weather -- have we forgotten the tornado that ran through there last year?
