Our first stop in Cincinnati was the Montgomery Inn, famous for its ribs.
We had a lovely dinner
and a wonderful view of the river.
We did a lot of shopping before the show, and even more at the show. It was fun to see some companies that we don’t usually get to at conventions in our area.
One company I was not familiar with was Taylored Expressions. Lots of great stamps.
Another company I had not seen for a long time was Northwoods Rubber Stamps, Inc.
And, of course, I can’t leave out getting to see Tim Holtz in person, for the first time. He was sharing some wonderful techniques using his new markers at Stampers Anonymous.
April and I were thrilled to get to meet Barbara Bruder, one of our fellow SNS designers. Even though she had spent days teaching classes, and working the whole show, she took time to have supper with us and we had a delightful time getting to know each other.
Our drive back was a bit rough as we drove through the mountains in pouring rain. We were ready to get out of the car when we reached home. It was a great trip, but there is nothing better than coming home and crawling into your own bed.
I will be back soon with some new cards. Thanks for taking your time to stop by.
E. Marie
