technology...

i got this KUTE KUTE KUTE turtle from a friend, Katie. Katie lives in Hong Kong and we had met on a message board. i had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with her once and have lunch (along with Gab) and she was kind enough to send me this cute baby present.... it was kind of funny b/c i was expecting a package from Asia with some samples and when i first saw the package this was in i was thinking, "hmmm this is strange, i though i would be getting like 10 lbs of samples" but then to my delight, i opened it up to find this turtle from a fab store called "Shanghai Tang". so thank you, Katie! i am sure our baby will love it!

i am amazed though at how technology has transformed things especially in the scrapbooking industry. so many of the ppl i meet, trends i hear about is all online. it isn't like the traditional way where things are done so much more face to face. i have formed friendships, made contacts, established us as a company merely by the presence of the internet (and of course DSL - otherwise this would be painful). things that we can accomplish now wasn't possible 7 or 10 years ago... it is an interesting thought.

well the good news is that we got more of our samples and trust me they are FABULOUS! i will post another peek this weekend.
