Saturday we were at the Anaheim convention center. We've done more than a few of these to know the ins and outs, like where to park and where and when to get food. We also know to eat before we leave, have coffee on the way, and get there early to beat the crowd of exhibitors at the freight elevators. At the Anaheim convention there's a long walk underneath the convention to the ballroom. It feels like we're rock stars about to go on stage. (If you've seen Jay Z's black album DVD you know what I mean)
Sunday the expo was held at the Westin Bonaventure in LA.
Downtown has a special place in my heart. I'm familiar with these buildings. It's nice to know that I come out here at least twice a year (on our small business trips) to visit it's uniqueness. 
We've also become experts at packing up our booth (thanks to my husband). Can you believe that we fit our whole booth on that small travel dolly? Had to mention that. I'm really proud of that!Both shows we had a great outcome! I love doing shows! It's a lot of work, but it's the one forum that our work really gets appreciated, especially after being locked up in my office, aka cave, it's nice to know that all our hard work paid off!
I hate to sound like a snot, but I think that we have a really nice booth.
It's different and interesting to look at. It attracts the modern bride that can't seem to find invitations that come in her color of orange and purple. It's also paper heaven! If you scrapbook, then you'll see some familiar paper.Our untraditional flyers/business cards are a big hit at the shows:
If you've ever been to a bridal convention, you know that you get bombarded with flyers and free samples and bags of stuff. So giving a bride a small business card just isn't gonna cut it. These little cards stand out, and it's a way for me to use all the scraps that are collecting dust. Sometimes I catch some of the brides getting more than ONE...shame on them!Now it's crunch time with assembly! I love the set that I'm working on now. It just came off the letter press and it's beautiful! Can't wait to finish and deliver to the bride!
So much to do...so little time!
