Six Big Winners!

Hi Blog Friends, 

Well I'm back from CHA and trying to get caught up before I head out again next week. CHA was awesome and amazing, I love being surrounded by the excitement and creative overload at the show. We were so busy in our booth, that I didn't get much of a chance to get out and take pictures to share with you... but super busy is always a good thing, lol.  

As you know I merged my company with Art Gone Wild a couple of years ago.  So, in our booth we have new products from Stamper's Anonymous, Art Gone Wild, Darcie's and Inky Antics.  As you can imagine, writing orders for Tim's stamps always keeps us hopping! We were blessed to talk to people from all over the world, including Germany, France, Norway, Brazil, Guatemala, Canada, Mexico, China, Japan.... in addition to all of our American friends who stopped in our booth to say hi or to write orders. In the weeks leading up to the show, we all wondered how it would be this year with the current economic conditions. I have three things to say about the current economy as it relates to the crafting industry:

best. show. EVER!  

We were super duper excited by the orders we wrote and the new customers we met.  Now the task of getting it all produced and out the door in a timely manner will be a challenge....but we have an amazing, awesome production crew, and I know they will do their best to meet that challenge.  The last day of the show a customer stopped by to say she had already received her order (she was the first customer to place an order on the first day of the show). Orders are shipped in the order they're received, so it always pays to get it in early.  

Next week, I'm headed out to the Stamp Scrap Art Tour show in Columbia, South Carolina. If you live anywhere near that show, be sure to check back for coupons, I'll be posting them later this week.  Click HERE for more information on the show.

Also!  Tomorrow I'll be posting a special printable free gift.  I wanted to give you guys something special as a "Thank You" for all of the referrals and recent comments, so it's my Valentine's present to you. Check back tomorrow - Good Stuff coming!  :)

But here's what you're really waiting for, I know:  

The WINNERS of the blog referral post, and the names of the SIX PEOPLE who won my brand new Shrink Plastic Project CD#202 "Enjoy the Little Things".  Here's the top referrer:

HEIDI STEIN!  Good job, girl!  Heidi referred 15 friends to the blog. Thanks so much!

Here's the next winner (and her comment), one of the people Heidi referred:

Tammy Murphy said:

Oh my gosh, I absolutly love these... the beads add such the perfect touch. What a fun and amazing giveaway~ Heidi sent me and I sure am glad she did.... I will be checking in now that I have found you.

AND, here are the other four winners and their comments:

Cheri Priddy said:

Wow these are great I can't wait to use them for our Women's Ministry at Church. I am always looking for new and fun ideas. I will refer my friends, Sandy C, Juanita H, Paula C, Krista C, Sarina S, & Melanie G.

Debbie Fisher said:

This is such a cool idea! I am going to tell Gail, Michelle P and Karen C.

Linda A. said:

Hi! Brand new fan, here! I just found you via Christine Middlecamp's CHA photos. She has some great photos of some of your CHA samples in her Flickr stream, and I had to track down those products! I know what I'm going to be doing today - poring over your new catalog! Thanks for the opportunity to win your new cd!

(Here's a LINK to the blog she mentions above with the Flickr stream.)

Jacki Randolph said:

OMG!! - I am so excited that Heidi Stein sent me over here. These are adorable and I need to see everything you have. Thanks for sharing and I will now be a faithful follower.

If the winners would please email me with their mailing addresses, I'll get your prizes right out to you.  Please email me at darcieheater@gmail.com by Friday, February 5 to claim your prizes.

Here's one more photo of the booth, I'll be sharing more later this week:

I don't know if you'll be able to see it very well in this photo, but Michelle Cutts, of Art Gone Wild had some cute new polymer sets.  One of them is a little oven (which I wish I would have taken some close up's of) with a door that opens and the inside of the card is recessed... so when you open the door you can see the little baked goods on cookie sheets inside the oven. She also had a Bathroom Cabinet that worked the same way, with guy things and girl things for inside the cabinets.  I thought they were cute and wanted to share them with you.  Also, I love their "Simple Circle" sets, hopefully you can see them in the photo.  If not, click on the photo and it will open larger in a separate window.

OK, I'll be back tomorrow with your free Valentine printable gift.  Thank you guys so much for referring your friends and for all of the nice comments!

:) Darcie

[Darcie Heater]

Thanks so much, Heidi. Well, you're in luck.... I think Tim is scheduled to be in the Stamper's Anonymous booth at the Mega Meet in Novi in May.... so you will have the opportunity to meet him in person. He's an amazing artist.... and hilarious! You'll have to come watch him demo his techniques. See you there!:) Darcie

[Heidi Stein]

Darcie your booth is always so beautiful and attracts me to it. I am sure I will see you in NOvi this year and I can only imagine placing orders for Tim's stamps- have you met him? Oh my dream.
Thanks for the prize and glad a couple of my gals got goodies too!
