Wondering where I've been? It's the summer show season already. And Allen Designs is off to tour the country only seeing the insides of convention centers! Sounds like oodles of fun doesn't it? I only have a minutes since I woke up late and should have already left for the show by now but I had to get this done before my $12.95 of 24 hour internet access was gone!
This is our new magnet greeting cards we're trying out at the shows. So far we've sold a few. Realized we're missing some key parts like having a sticker on the outside of the cellophane bag that tells the end customer that it's a removable magnet for the lucky recipient. Always learning I tell you!
Our neighbor has these amazing suckers made in Provo, UT that we were scamming on from the beginning of the show. Yummies for my tummy!
I'll be back to show more. Have a great day. "God is good, He is ALWAYS good" this is what a stranger said to me on the way up the escalators yesterday. : )
See you later this week in L.A. Hope we can catch dinner one of the nights!

Michelle, I cannot believe you are this close to Me! I am 45 minutes away from Atlanta in *Athens*. I worked at those shows some years ago and really it's something, isn't it? Good luck and what wonderful wonderful things you are showing here. You go, girl!
Get more of what you love.

Hey michelle! Thanks for the comment on my blog. I love your art and am interested in doing some portraits of you with some of your work implemented in the shoot. What do you think?

Hey girl,
Are you ever home??!! If you ever need a travel partner let me know. If I had another life to live I'd be a vagabond girl.

Hi Michelle,
How did the show go? I know you are off to SF now and I am hoping it was busy. I am still hoping to walk the show in SF and would love to meet for dinner, or just a quick hello. Your new magnets look too cute - I love all the bright colors! I love the end of your post too - someone once stopped me on the street and said, "have a blessed day." - I smiled for hours.
