5 Winners + CHA Show Photos = Priceless Blog Post
Posted on January 29, 2010
We are back from the CHA Winter Show and we are wiped out. I actually lost my voice mid way through the show from talking too much. (I didn’t think that could ever happen to me…LOL)
As many of you have discovered via photos from the show floor we set up a brand new booth during this show and we got A TON of great comments about it. It was definitely more shabby and pink just like us. The only problem is…we might need a bigger booth space. We were so busy the first day it was hard to actually squeeze in to see the product boards. If you waited patiently in our booth that first day all we can say is “Thank You” for being patient with us.
The favorites of the show were definitely our Artisan Collection Items (tapes, albums and elements!) We got a lot of interest about our new elements and we will be working on some video demos to show you exactly what this product is all about. I think everyone was surprised at the texture and squishy feel of this product.
The gals over at Scrapbooks Etc. magazine also selected our Ribbon Pleats as one of their top 10 picks of the show. Look for those to be featured in an upcoming issue this summer 
Those pleats were another one of our HOT HOT items creating a buzz around the show floor. Who knew there were so many non-sewers out there?
Here are a few photos we snapped around the booth before the show started:
It is hard to tell in these photos but the front counter and the middle cases are actually a soft pink color. So so sweet. Also…everyone loved our soft foam floor
Our pink dress form girl is our un-official mascot. She goes to every show. This time she was sporting a new TUTU. And of course our candy jars travel with us too. I think that candy is getting a little old by now…LOL!
On the outskirts of our booth we created our little “product previews.” This was the Queen Bee Display. Love that grass.
Everyone loved these tags. Thank you to Canvas Corp for providing those large canvas tags to our team. Roree did an amazing job embellishing these. Yes those are cork button centers in the flowers too! We die cut all those bees, crowns and flowers using some of our favorite AccuCut dies!
This was our Bayberry Cottage display. Ummm….love those shabby chairs with the houndstooth fabric. Too bad you can’t sit in them…(they aren’t safe..LOL)
More paper flowers using our favorite AccuCut dies.
The view from the backside.
Our product display cases along with project samples from the team
We had another solution for papers but in the end we liked having them on the shelf below the corkboards. Maybe during the next show we will go with our original plan.
Our middle cases were used to show off our Expressions Alphabets and more projects from the team. They also worked great for our storage baskets full of catalogs. (you can also see our debut issue of the Live Pink magazine peeking out of that top wire basket! so small and adorable)
We talked with so many store owners, pink paislee fans and media contacts. It was really great to show everyone these products in person. Check back soon for a video tour that is being edited from our very own Lisa Cole.

Posted on January 4, 2010
WOW! What a tough agonizing decision this has been for us. I can’t say anything about this process that hasn’t been said before. We saw so many qualified artists that we wish we had room for everyone. We read all of your blogs; looked at all of your galleries; and spent hours upon hours making the official list and then throwing it away and starting over again. It just wasn’t easy. Congratulations to all of you for finding the time to devote to this wonderful hobby. I was amazed how many of you recently posted your top 10 layouts of 2009 on your blogs. It was definitely inspiring to see!
Thank you for continuing to love Pink Paislee and for creating with our products. It is an honor to provide fresh products and fresh inspiration to our fans.
As you can see from the list below we went WAY beyond the numbers we had originally planned for. We just could not narrow it down any further. We have big plans for this team and they will definitely have their work cut out for them. In 2010 look for new blog topics, studio spaces, artist profiles, challenges, and much much more! We hope you will join us on the creative journey for another year!
our 2010 team members are….
Congratulations! If your name is on this list please know we will be in touch VERY SOON with additional details.
first….a very fond farewell

As we begin the process of embracing a new creative team for 2010 we must first pay tribute to the fabulous group of designers who inspired us in 2009. Last year at this very same time we welcomed this group into our family and we never looked back. They inspired us everyday and showed us ways to use our products that we couldn’t even imagine. We had such a unique mix of artists on our team and we are honored to call them our friends. They will always hold a special place in our hearts.
I thought it would be fun today to highlight each artist and show you a quick sampling of what that they created throughout the year.
Please help me give thanks to them for providing such inspiration to us in 2009! You gals are truly the best!
