For those of you that follow me through Bella Blvd (and here also) you know I've been in California releasing my new products at the CHA Winter 2012 Craft & Hobby Trade Show.
That's me! Hi. ;)
The show was wonderful. It always is. The booth turned out great. I'm so grateful for all the designers, assistants, Bella employees and family and friends that help me prepare for this big week of business!
The new paper collections received great responses. But I have a gut feeling that Baby Boy & Baby Girl will be our top paper sellers.
This is Laura Vegas, my Design Team & Special Projects Coordinator. She lives in California so it was wonderful that she drove over to hang with some industry friends, help us out at the Bella booth and come along on some fun business dinners!
As always my girl rocked it! I'm always amazed when I watch them with customers. We've made so many wonderful friends through this hobby & industry and always look forward to catching up with them.
This is Tonya and Cynthea. They are with the adorable Doodlebug. We've been friends since I was in high school. Bucca Di Beppo's was our meeting spot for din din one night. Great times.
The two have bets on my wedding colors: Cynthea's vote is for Pink & Gray while Tonya is cheering for Pink & Brown. oh boy! (btw, I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ANYTHING WEDDING! STILL just very happy to be engaged!)
Thank you for always reading, for supporting me and telling all your friends about Bella Blvd too! I feel blessed.
Today I will be arriving in Napoli, Italy where I will be teaching at the Paper and Company Show. I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures...so I can share with you soon!
I'm excited to be a part of this awesome group of teachers!
It's going to be wonderful and I've been doing my best to brush up on my Italiano with a few books while in the air! Wish me luck!
Arrividerci!
