Hey everyone, it is Sesil here from CHA in Anaheim!!
I just wanted to let you know that I am here in Anaheim checking out all the new products. We have some exciting new things that will be in the store in March (and February and April and May, etc., etc.). I just wanted to pop in to let you know I have seen a ton of fun stuff. My camera is acting up so I will try and post some pictures soon. Let me know if there is anything that you would like me to check out while I am here. Take care and see yall soon.

My favorite new things I have seen are MME's Lush line(especially the 8x8 flocked book & the flocked alphabets) and their Jack & Jill line. I also love Elle's Studio's new stuff. They don't have a booth at CHA, but their full line is available at the YourScrapStash.com booth.
Thanks for asking!

I hope you're having fun! This is my annual request, but this year I really mean it!
Pink Paislee has put out some really really cool products this time around! The "Artisan Tapes" in 10 prints (including hounds-tooth) are my favorite! But their new line of papers, the new unique sizes of canvas albums are just beautiful. And their "Artisan Elements" have me intrigued. Their made of a foam and resin combination making them paintable, mistable, and inkable. Hmmm...
So that's my vote. Again. Yay!
