Comments on: PRT055 – Almost Live from CHA

Hi, Karen!

For the record, Izzy and I preferred L.A. over Anaheim and Florida. Big
Time.

Okay, so here’s the thing with your question — on the one hand, I would
like for us to be able to announce whenever products are released. The
problem is, we’re not notified when they’re all released. It’s just as
mysterious to us as it is to everyone else.

What I have done is checked for products and linked to many of the ones I
could find that are already available — you can find that in the blog posts
for each of my CHA video. I would like to go back and add to those whenever
I find more new ones out, but there is really no way for me to know unless I
happen to see it, just like everyone else.

Plus, it depends on where you shop. I looked for For the Record at
Scrapbook.com and it wasn’t there. Since they had other stuff, I assumed it
wasn’t out yet. But when I went to my local store, they had it in stock.

As for the stamp — the product she put directly on the stamp is UTEE. It’s
an ultra-thick enamel similar to clear embossing powder but much, much
thicker. :)

Just listened to your show. It was great! It made me feel like I had actually been at the CHA. Really want to see pictures of that dress form/dinning room booth! I love how you guys can be yourselves and not have to talk up any particular product. It makes it real. I found your whole discussion of ‘culture shock’ at being in LA very interesting. Makes a ton of sense to me. How about some followup on when your favorite pics hit the market? By the time these products actually get on the market so I can buy them I think I will have forgotten what I actually wanted. I do most of my shopping via the internet as good stores are not near by. It is great for searching what you know you want to buy, but not so good for finding new things. Do you think you could give us up-dates? For example when Echo Park For the Record or the new Prima flowers come out could you say “Product News Flash –New Prima is at
Scrapbook.com. Also, when you were talking about that new German owned stamp company you said you could put UT directly on the stamp. What is UT?
Thanks for all you do!!

I haven’t finished listening yet (and am loving the show so far, as always!), but I wanted to stop and comment on what Ana said about the 3M/Scotch ATG Acid Free (Gold) adhesive being $10 a roll. I don’t know if she has the 1/2″ gun or the 1/4″ gun, but I’ve ordered it from here http://framingsupplies.com/3M/3MATGTape.htm many times in both sizes and it’s a lot less than that. the 1/4″ acid free is less than $3.50 a roll, and the 1/2″ is somewhere around $5. You do have to pay shipping (always about $7-$8 an order for me), but I tend to order 20 rolls at a time so that it evens out.

Anyway, just thought I’d put that out there!

is there a link to the xyron tape gun or is it one of those things that “won’t be out until May”

Thank you for letting us know! It got categorized incorrectly. It’s all good
now, thanks to you! :)

Was looking and looking each day for the next installment of PRT with no luck. Then I saw this link on Stacey Julian’s blog. Why is it in this weird spot instead of with the rest of the PRT podcasts? Hope others can find it!

You guys are a hoot. That’s why I like you so much. Thanks!

I *loved* listening to this episode. I was laughing out loud while driving down the road. You always feed off each other’s enthusiasm even when you’re not in the same room, but being together always seems to take the fun up a notch. I’m with Ana on the “angry adhesive” by the way. :-)

Hey Guys.

Listening to you … knowing you just saw those thousands of new products the hours before I wondered: How do you decide what to buy for your personal scrapbooking – how do you make the line between “this is what I truely use” and “don’t actually need it if it is not for trend reasons” ??

Love to listen :) You are great guys.
Greetings from Germany.

You are all so awesome and I laughed so much it was almost difficult to drive at the same time! Awesome overview of lovely products and even a mention of a local South African company – 3 cheers for that! Keep up the great work – I look forward to each and every episode. Hugs and Kisses

I have to stop listening to these podcasts while walking my dogs. One of these days I am going to get run over. I already get funny looks because I am walking 3 or 4 dogs at a time. I was cracking up so hard in this episode. People are going to think I am nuts.

I’m a huge fan, too! I’ve actually intended on blogging about Story People for a while and just haven’t gotten around to it!

Can I just say I wanted this episode to go on and on! I laughed with you all like I was in the room too {my teenagers thought I was nuts but nothing new there} Ana and Stacy just crack me up. I had to rewind several times because I was laughing so hard I missed what was said. You should do semi live shows more often. My favorite PRT to date! Thank you all for taking the time to provide us with this show.

I love how you’re commenting as you listen!

I didn’t go vegan to lose weight, but I did start losing it to my surprise!
For five years I had been consistently gaining despite having exercising 6
days/week for an hour and eating as healthfully as a meat-eater can possibly
eat. After I went vegan I was shocked to see that fat start coming off!

We eat whole foods for the most part. I do recommend for anyone who is going
vegetarian to really educate themselves. And if you’re going to eat
desserts, it really is a life-style change. You can bake just about anything
but you’ll most likely need a few new tools and things.

Congrats on your 30 pound loss!
