Is this for real? Am I really an artist in Atlanta last weekend for a signing of my new product line Urban Soul for Demdaco?
Tim and I were in the back of the showroom talking with a group of the Demdaco reps about all the artists who were at the show and that there were a couple from Michigan. And I said "oh I know that Carol Roeda is here - she is awesome, but I haven't met the other one though". . .
They all looked at me kind of funny and one of them said "um, I think its you". To which I laughed nervously, looked at Tim and replied - "Oh right, um of course it is":)
I LOVE this partnership with Demdaco! I LOVE Urban Soul!
K now here is what I really think . . .
Demdaco totally and completely rocks a very large portion of the gift industry.
It was so fun to meet everyone who contributed to the launching of this line, there were product developers, people in marketing and packaging and administration and sales reps and photographers and many more and I cannot thank everyone enough for all your hard work!
The other cool thing about the Atlanta Gift Mart was meeting some of the other Demdaco artists.
Here is me and Julie Chen in front of her line of amazing wall art! Loved Julie, her heart and her story!!
In the middle of us is Kate - the product designer from Demdaco who worked on the development of the next line of Urban Soul. - Yes! there is another line coming out in July!! - its fabulous but on the down low for now:)
This is Carol Roeda. I haved loved her art since she began creating it and have several like (25 or 40 pieces:) of it in my house. But why count? It's all super awesome! I have no idea what was so funny in this picture - maybe because we are both from the same town but just met in Atlanta?? - but I do know that I was THRILLED to meet her!
oh wow - this is Kelly Rae Roberts whose art is so so great in every way. And she is also a fabulous writer and encourager and if you have a creative business (or want one!) you need to get her e-book immediately!
Susan Lordi the artist that is Willow Tree was signing a new ornament for 2011! I have a collection of several of her pieces in my house as well! But again, who's counting??:) Such a blessing to meet her too!
I missed seeing my friend Donna Downey, she was there the day before with her new line and
LisA fRosT - you are awesome!!! Just like a Christmas present:) Can't wait to get to know you better - Christmas in July??
Lisa Kaus - it was so fun to talk with you!! next time let's have a cupcake or 4:)!
Wish I had a picture of you two Lisa's!!
I am so beyond excited to be a part of this company and its amazing group of artists!
So let's give away some more of the Urban Soul. . .
oh I so want to keep this picture frame!! Except that I will buy another one - this one is for you:) it is big - 16x16 and holds a 5x7 horizontal picture.
A set of Jeremiah 29:11 - each piece is 6x6 and I love these hung vertically on the wall. GREAT for a narrow space - I have written a Behind the Design post on this scripture print - its a backstage pass into the how and why this particular scripture became a print. Right now I am thinking ahead that this may be a perfect graduation gift??
