we’re back from our adventures to frankfurt, germany where we attended the paperworld/creativeworld trade show. this is a huge global trade show for the stationary, paper crafts, and art products attracting retailers and vendors worldwide. i was there along with mario, the guys from ranger, and dyan to demo for our international distributors personal impressions and vaessen creative. mario and left early thursday morning from arizona for a long day of travel arriving in frankfurt, germany friday afternoon…

when we arrived at the convention center, we checked in, and made our way to the personal impressions booth to lend a hand to our friends jayne and kathy and put the finishing touches on the booth. that night we had dinner in our hotel and then off to bed after a very exhausting day and a early morning ahead…

as you can see the crowds around the demos for all three days made it even more inspiring for me to continue to share all of the latest and greatest products and techniques. i’ll be honest though it was definitely an exhausting show being so close to cha, but it was absolutely worth it to attend. we headed back to the US and finally made it home today for some much needed rest…t!m
