Just read along below and click on any blog posts you may have missed. We are getting ready at CHA for the Mega Show and can't wait to show your store owners our new products up close and personal!
Before we review these fun new products, let's see who won on our last day of Sneak Peeks. Our randomly chosen winners are...
From the Blog:
-Tammy McDaniel: Love the papers and the hutch! Keep up the great work!
-Marcie Rhys: This line (with all your others this release) is just too fabulous! You've hit every soft spot I have, and I would love to win any of it, just to provide a little relief when I go the buy all these. PS Probably shooting in the breeze, but could you please try to put out some less attractive "must have" lines next release. I need a long nap before getting this excited again. Thanks.
From Facebook:
-Lorene Carpenter Norman: Love this I want it, I use to hang clothes out on the clothes line.
-Diana Haines: This is a wonderful collection. Excited for it to come out!!

Nichola Battilana beautifully creates with this new collection. We love this altered box and needle felted bunny! Take it away, Nichola:
"Browsing the pages of the Precious Memories collection for inspiration, I sort of fell in love with image of the little boy and his rabbit. The fellow with the curls nuzzling his stuffed bunny reminded me of my son when he was toddling around with 'Mr. Elephant' (don’t tell him I told you that!) I still have that little elephant. It’s tucked somewhere, not completely away, so that I stumble across it once in a while, causing memories to flood back.
For this piece I created a little needle felted bunny, just like the one in the image, to create a sense that that moment had actually existed. Don’t be frightened off by that little woolen bunny! This little sentimental vignette would be even sweeter created with a real photograph and small childhood momento." ~Nichola
