We are back in the hotel room and resting our tired feet today. We did manage to get a couple of photos of our booth today which we wanted to share with you. We only had a couple of moments to snap some photos on our phone but we think this will give you a feel of how things were at the show.
Here is a look at our booth before the day started. You can see we had HUNDREDS of projects to go with all of our samples.
And check out our make and take - we had such a tremendous response, by 3:30, we had run out of cool tags to make!
Here are some photos of our "sitting area" where customers could review their orders or just prop their feet and check out some of the cute projects from our design team. If you look closely there are some bagpipers playing. This is a show tradition that starts off each and every trade show.
For now we have a giveaway! Post here between now and when we post tomorrow night for a chance at a $25 GC that you can use on the Maya Road website for shopping for your favorite MR products! We have a GC to giveaway each night so make sure you come back each night to post! One chance per person!
Have a GREAT night!
Oh my goodness - sounds like everyone is having a wonderful time at CHA. I'm more than a bit jealous!

I love the bagpipe players - I've always had a soft spot for bagpipes (I'm part Scottish - just can't help it!) But what an amzing tradition!!! Love all your examples - the booth looks bright and colourful. Hope you have a good night of rest, and that tomorrow is just as good, if not better, than today.
