Greetings from sunny San Francisco !!!

Well, CHA Winter 2010 is over, we left Anaheim after 3 very busy and fantastic days and took the train back to LA for just one night in time to catch the Coastal Starlight Express for an amazing 11 hour Californian Pacific Coastal Railroad journey to San Francisco for a few days "R & R" !!! The train journey was wonderful, business class type reclining seats with loads of room, a full service restaurant, cafe bar and glass topped observation lounge - the views were amazing. We arrived in San Francisco very late last night and have spent today riding Cable Cars, Trams and Streetcars !!


But the CHA news and blog candy is not over yet !! We still have loads of pictures of the show and all the goodies we have ordered, but we are keeping a few of our new suppliers "under our hat" for the time being, well, you need something new to look forward to as well as all the regular favourites lol ! Talking of favourites.... Cosmo Cricket have three new bright and fun collections which will be shipping to us shortly "Material Girl", "Joy Ride" and "Garden Variety"








I love the new Chipboard Letters and Tiny Alphas !! The good folks at Cosmo have been very generous and we have one of the new 12 x 12 Paper Crafting Kits up for grabs for Blog Candy today, I'm not sure which one it is, as all the paper and goodies have been safely packed and are at the bottom of a very large suitcase LOL !! Just leave a comment as usual !



To answer a few questions from the previous posts, not sure when OA will be ready to ship, but not too long to wait I don't think. Yes, we have ordered the Donna Downey Canvas Albums and Camera Bags etc. and no, sorry but the cupcakes and stands are for display only LOL !! OOh and yes we have ordered ALL the new Tim Holtz Stamps and the Inks....and the new Dies and the Book, and the new Enamel Accents, (they are not due for a while yet though) and everything else new with his name on as well LOL

That's all for now as we are heading off to a fab Blues Bar and Restaurant on Fishermans Wharf for dinner (how cool does that sound !)
