It's been awhile...
Everyone always says how time flies, I get tired of hearing it, but it sure is true! I've been so busy through football season and the holidays with my family and friends. I have had no time to blog!!
The whole month of January I have been working overtime in my business Simply Swank to get all my new products done, samples made and the booth built for the Craft and Hobby Association Trade show. Often times people are curious how you set up a trade show booth so I tried to take some photos with my iphone during set up. The photos are a little fuzzy but you can see in the photo box below a little of how it all goes together. You basically start with an empty space that is 10x10 and build it within that space. We actually built this booth ourselves me, Melissa & Nanette from scratch about a week before it had to ship! The whole booth weighed 600 pounds! That is small in comparison to other booths. It turned out pretty nice!
The show was very successful for my company. We have many new customers, several chain stores and new distributors. Our products will now also be sold in Tahiti, Italy, Germany, Sweden, & Mexico! I have also been offered to write some new books! I am excited to show more advanced techniques for art soldering and new project ideas.
We taught a class to 50 people, with amazing help from our Swanky Volunteers. It was very fun and not one accident with all those hot irons being used! The class sold out as soon as registration opened up for classes! Next time we will have to do more than one class!
It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. We feel blessed to have such great customers and colleagues who make being in this industry worth wile!!

Aluminum Can Drive
August 17th I volunteered at Puget Sound Fiber to help with the aluminum can drive.
A special price was paid above the current market prices to everyone bringing their cans in on this day. It was so busy! The vehicles were lined up early. We opened at 8:00am and worked straight through until 4:00pm. Over 10,000 pounds of aluminum cans were collected. I was the traffic control person and the "scale" girl. I would figure out the total weight after the tare was deducted for the cans being weighed.
Many charity groups collect their cans all year just for this one day! Huge loads were brought in. It is an easy way to earn money and of course it is always good to recycle!
