Still Fishing!

This is the fourth collection released at CHA.  Last year we released "Go Fish", which sold out very quickly, so we decided to continue the theme with "Still Fishing". 

We are still busy on the house, last night we painted until 10:00 and today Susan and her husband are working on the landscaping in the backyard.  It is a great day here in Colorado- only about 80 degrees with lots a clouds.  It is very refreshing after temperatures hovering around 100 degrees last week!

CHA

Just got back from CHA and it feels so good to sleep in our own beds.  We met so many nice people and it was fun to see familiar faces.  We are unpacking product today so hopefully we will be able to start filling orders soon.  We just wanted to say a great big THANK YOU to Tammy Tutterow who brought us this nice house warming gift for the new Sweetwater House.  It is so fitting and even has the name Sweetwater on it!  We plan on using this on our coffee table.  Thanks again Tammy!!  Wanted to share the picture  -

Cotton Candy

Here is the third of four lines being released at CHA. 

Make Life ..... New Line

 

This new line is called Make Life..... it is being released at the CHA show in Chicago this week.  I hope to show the other 2 new lines in the next couple of days.  This line has some really rich colors and would work perfectly with all those boy pictures you have! We are loving the new mini albums that coordinate with each line, be sure to check those out.

CHA SNEAK PEEK! BASIC BLACK

Only 1 day left before we leave for CHA, and we finally found some time to post some sneak peeks of our new lines.  We have 24 new papers, 12 new embellishments and 4 new mini album kits!

This is our new "Basic Black" collection.  We are currently in love with black and white- it gives layouts a sleek and clean look, but it looks striking when you combine it with color.

Check back for other collections.  Susan will be staying home from Chicago, so hopefully she will have some time to get them up!

This week we have been refinishing all the wood work in the house- and boy there is a lot of it!  All the hard work on that project has definitely paid off because it is now absolutely beautiful.  Next week we are looking forward to a fun project- we are putting a brick wall up in the dining room.  It is a "thin brick" that goes right over dry wall.  Here is a link to the company we purchased it from: http://www.robinsonbrick.com/products/thinbrick/colors.asp   Yes, us girls are going to tackle this project!  We will get a before and after picture up when we get done.
