Making Memories

LET'S DO A QUICK CONTEST RIGHT NOW!

We're down to the last hour or so before the Show closes.  So we're going to give a few items away real quick ... and then it'll be time for the SLICE grand prize.  (I'll give you a hint.  We'll do the drawing SOMETIME between 2:00 and 3:00 PT ... So if you have to leave for a while, now you know the timeline!)

While we're waiting, let's do a quick random drawing for another ANIMAL CRACKERS collection.  We figured we whet your appetite with the preview, so now we'll give one lucky winner a great assortment for their very one.

You've got just a few minutes to start posting.  Post as many times as you want. And then we'll add the word "STOP" to this message.  Are you ready? Set? GO!

OKAY ... STOP!

A LITTLE CRACKERS

It's been a long few days at the show, and we're realizing just how fried we must be, to not have yet shown you a closeup look at our new Animal Crackers line.  Silly us! 

Meet "Ella" and "Jack," two different color and theme variations in the Animal Crackers collection.  Here at the Show, people have flipped over the die-cut papers - with shapes cut directly into the designs. And then there's our flocked and varnished cardstock as well ... also huge hits among buyers here!

Both "Ella" and "Jack" give a whimsical take on the baby theme, merged with a 21st century interpretation of animal-cracker shapes such as giraffes, hippos, alligators, zebras, and lions.  Make sure to take a good look at the "quilts" we have in the booth - they're constructed exclusively from the Animal Crackers line. 

Start watching your store shelves early Spring, when Animal Crackers is scheduled to arrive.

ARE YOU READY?  THE LOADED RUNWAY ROLLER GOES TO ...

Even my hands were sweating through this, you all!  This is thrilling on our end as well!

More to come ... including the ultimate grand prize - in just a little while

COLIN SPEAKS FRENCH?

Well, not really.  But he did happen upon two lucky CHA attendees from France who were shocked to learn that they won a suitcase's worth of Making Memories supplies.  They may not speak much English, but joy is a universal language! 

A bientot!

SO, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE LIKE CONTESTS ...

Since we're between contests right now, we thought we'd let you know that we really do like these kinds of giveaways ... we do them at least once a month as it is.  Usually the only way to find out about them, though, is by signing up for our newsletter.  Once a month, we send copies of "MM Insider" to our readers, and offer up hints and tips about the latest techniques, features about products that are shipping that month, and of course ... CONTESTS! 

So please take a moment to sign up for your newsletter if you are not already a subscriber! And please put "2008 CHA Blog" in the box asking how you heard about it.

(Don't worry - you've got time to sign up! We're still at least one hour away from our next contest.  It's 9:30 a.m. PT here right now.)

SIGN UP HERE!

Congratulations to ...

OUR FIRST CONTEST OF THE DAY

Let's get this party started this morning with a heapin' sized box of ... boxes.  Storage, that is.  We're giving three lucky winners today a Desktop Storage set of their very own.  We'll do this one with a random drawing.  You'll have about three minutes to start posting comments to the message board.   When time's up, we'll post a "Stop" message at the bottom of this posting.  And then we'll take a few minutes to throw darts at our computer and select the winners. 

Everyone ready?  Start posting ... NOW!

OKAY ... STOP!

We'll be back with winner's names in just a minute! :-)
