Lots of new stuff!

I know I've been MIA lately, but really it's all for good reasons. I have a lot of things to share...some of it is super big news and others are just fun things I'm working on :)

First, I have to say when I got the newest collection from sis tv I nearly died! I mean just look at all those delicious colors!!! I love this one...and I'm so excited to play with it!!! :D find it here: www.scrapinstyletv.com 

And I got the Trendsetter collection with this one too...it was sent to the wrong address the first time so now I have to catch up with it all :)

One of the big reasons I've been MIA is that I'm trying to get back into the groove of working/vs. playing. I'm closer to my family now...so it's nice to just be able to go over there on any given day. I'm still trying to adjust to this whole new life I'm living. A new city, a new job, a new lifestyle, a whole new perspective on life. It's a lot to take in...but I'm really happy with everything :)

I'm starting to design papers again...and I can't really say much about it but you guys will flip when you see them...I'm SO excited about it!!! You just *might* see them at this next CHA in July if everything works out right :D

Prima has made the exciting decision to "go green" which means we are making a conscious effort in being more environmentaly savvy. Because of this...a lot of the packaging for Prima's products had to be re-designed to fit this new effort. So, if you are at CHA in July this year and you happen to stop by the Prima booth, if you like the new packaging don't be afraid to tell someone :) hehe cuz I designed it and it would be great to get some feedback :D

I have some HUUUUGE news to share!! A lot of you may know already that we have been waiting to hear back from Michaels about my book. My publisher had a meeting with the distributer back in October or November of last year and they proposed my book in the meeting. Michaels seemed to like it but nothing was a guarantee. There's usually a very long process to get your foot in the door with them...as you can only imagine so after the book came back from print, a couple copies were sent to Michaels for final review. This part can typically last anywhere from 6-12 months to hear back, and yesterday I found out the most amazing news!!! Michaels has decided to carry my book!!!! :D can you believe it? How insane is that?? I flipped when I heard the news...to think that a store I frequently shop in will carry something I made is beyond reality for me! So I think it will probably hit their shelves in July, and I'll definitely share some pictures of it when I see it at my local store :)

I also made this frame for my desk at prima

and it was Lucy Folch's bday a few days ago so I made her this little album that still needs to get sent out :)

welps...thats about everything going on right now. I plan to get some scrappin done this weekend so I'm excited for that. Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial day!!! Hugs, Adrienne

Great, until you consider that the LSS privately owned are not likely to carry your book because they can't buy it for what Micheal's does...
Great until you consider no matter how much you like Micheal's, I would so much rather support my LSS, because they are who is going to carry Pink Paislee, October Afternoon, Glitz Designs... and I would rather work with these small companies products, than large paper packd from K&Co, or outdated papers, or Martha Stewart...
I see Prima is selling out to Micheal's too... they can't fill their orders to LSS, but they have products for Micheal's. Nice.

OMG So many freaking fantastic news!!!
Why do I need to live so far?
That's not fair I wish I was there to give you a huge hug that you deserve for all your effort and talent!
Hang out and have some fun...
Darling you made me an album...you are always surprising me with these small gestures I treasure you in my heart:)
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PAPERS!
CAN'T!

Pretty ScrapinStyleTV kits!

I go to Micheals all the time & love it~ not only is it the only craft/hobby store in my town, but I love their coupons..... as an unemployed SAHM, I need to make my Scrap dollars go as far as I can. Congratulations on getting your book out through such a BIG name! YAY!

OK, now for a teeny tiny sneek peak at your new paper.... please?
