Where to start! Exciting. That's what the stamperama show was. Exciting for me to be there exhibiting for the first time since 2005, exciting to have Lin demoing on the booth, exciting for Mr PaperArtsy who got his last minute lights to work, exciting for all the customers who turned up not expecting to see Lin at all and who were thrilled to see us both, and exciting for those who knew we would be there and dropped by to say hi, and of course so exciting for you all to catch up with each other, shop chat, conceive new ideas, and have a great day out.
Yes it was a lovely show, with a really fantastic vibe, and a real pleasure to be there. My favourite type of show are those with a specific stamping focus because all the customers and exhibitors have the same specific interest in common. When you get a bunch of people all on the same page it works!
So I'd just like to say a big thank you to those of you who came, it was fabulous to see you all, and if you couldn't make it, put Sunday August 12th in your diary for the summer Stamperama. It will be the day after the London olympic opening ceremony, but I hope that won't stop you from coming along!
Have a wonderful week! Stamp your socks off!

My goodness that looks an amazing stand-just wish it were nearer oop north.
ReplyDeleteHad a fantastic time leandra your demos were great as were lins...next stop ally pally!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics - doesn't it look spacious without all of us crowded round you and Lin and grabbing up all those supplies!! Had a great day, met some lovely new friends and more importantly learnt some great techniques that you have seen I am already putting into practice!! Roll on Ally Pally....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of stuff you have there Leandra !!
ReplyDeleteWish I lived nearer, or you did shows nearer Manchester thank goodness for cyber-shopping and the hope that you tell us what 'bumping' is on your blog. Seen it mentioned on a couple of blogs and as I have the Frescos and Portfolios I'm all ready to go.
ReplyDeleteIt was my first trip to Stamperama and apart from the noxious smell I made you make (Rusting powder has an interesting size affect for those who don't know!) I loved every minute and hope to be back in August! Had no idea your stand was as big as the photos show though - when we were all crammed in it it was tiny! T'was lovely to see you so busy! See you at Ally Pally if not before x
ReplyDeleteSunday was the first time I'd ever got to an event like this. Really enjoyed it, myself and my daughter kept coming back to your stand to watch the brilliant demos. I've since decorated a box following your inspiration, paints and mask purchased on the day - thanks
