Time for the Summer Trade show and this year it was held in Vegas.

Not a favorite location of mine. I find there is too many people and it is hot. On the plus side I get to meet up with my colleagues and order tons of merchandise for the holiday season.

Vegas was hot, hot, hot and there was a swarm of grasshoppers. The grasshoppers were so dense that they could be seen from space!!

I found some very cool products for the store and had a great time with my colleagues. Time away from the store always gives my head time to think about new classes. This time I found a new book system and it gave me some fabulous ideas for 4 or 5 different art journaling classes.

Can’t wait to get some of the components I need to start designing.

Here is one of them.

Here is the outside of an English pub that I managed to eat at with my friend Brooke.  I like to eat genuine English Sausages when I get a chance.

Genuine Sausages and Baked Beans.  Strange to have the Baked Beans with Bangers and Mash tho.
