Hi, everyone! Christine, here, guest-blogging in the scrapbooking group to share a little bit of news from the summer Craft and Hobby Association trade show near Chicago. This show is smaller than the winter one but always has great things in store for lovers of paper and scrapbooking. As I mentioned in my post during the show, I always come away from this show super excited to start my Christmas cards, because all the new holiday designs are showcased. As usual, I loved the new stuff, in general, from Scenic Route, Making Memories, and so many more.

The Memory Makers/ F+W booth featured some cool things, too, including author signings with some of our scrapbooking authors. Here are some photos from the booth...

Debbie Hodge signing Getting It Scrapped...

Wendy McKeehan and Kitty Foster signing both of their books: Fabulous Friendships and Find Your Groove...

And Sherry Steveson building interest in her upcoming book When Life Gives You Lemons (note her outfit and she gave away Lemon Head candies with little pictures of her book cover stapled to them--clever!).

If you were at the show (or have seen any of the sneak peeks online), what new stuff has you excited? Share in the comments....

Until next time,

Christine
