what did i do this past week? oh, not much, just hung out with my award winning friends. 😜
i spent the last few days connecting with fellow paper lovers, where we put the Louies in Louisville. i’m back from the GCA conference now, with my heart full, and so inspired to keep doing what i love. it was so uplifting to hear the state of the industry: greeting card sales are going strong, people are embracing analogue modes of communication more than ever, and this industry is thriving!
while i did not bring home the Louie, i am so honoured to have been nominated. it was such a joy to be able to celebrate all the winners together - congratulations to you all! 🎉
a huge thank you to Greeting Card Association USA for organizing a fantastic event. it was pure joy to connect with old friends and make new ones, write cards, chat about ideas, and learn from each other. 🩷 who knew education could be so much fun? i am still on cloud 9! but i guess i better come down and get back to work! ☁️🦙
