#PaperTrail Tour starts tomorrow!

The #PaperTrail Tour is a series of interactive teaching trips that I am taking in my 1976 Serro Scotty trailer spreading crafty love across the country.  It is packed up with samples, supplies, inspiration, some vintage touches and, of course, lots of paper!

The first trip is finally here! I am excited, a little nervous  and ready to get the show on the road! I am driving a Ford F-150- I call it Big Daddy.  My husband bought it to haul the trailer when we discovered that my van was not quite strong enough to do the job. It’s true he has always wanted a truck… but the timing is not the best. Our daughter is getting married in a month and we are also in the middle of a kitchen re-model (which hopefully will be done by the wedding!) But… YOLO.

So I am hitching up Big Daddy and Scotty and heading out for Phase 1 of the #PaperTrail Tour.In Connecticut, I will pick up two of my good friends, Amy Bowerman of Plucking Daisies and Anita Houston, the Artful Maven. We will be teaching at the Collins Rep Group trade show in Massachusetts.

Along the way we are demoing and teaching classes in scrapbook stores using my Sizzix, Clearsnap and Craffiti craft products. It is a party waiting to happen! At the Collins show we will meet up with more designer friends and invite them out for a sit down in the camper. We will be talking and chatting and hope to share some of that with you too.

Have you always wondered what happens at these trade shows and events? Wonder no longer- we will be sharing it all on social media so stayed tuned and ride along with us. You might even want to share our links with your friends. We will be showing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Hopefully, mostly the first…

So here is our itinerary for the trip. If you happen to live near where we are, please stop by and say hi!
