Finally…..the trailer is totally unloaded and the merchandise is inventoried and put back on the shelves. Shows are a wonderful experience, but packing up before and unpacking after is definitely NOT the fun part!

Hats off and much appreciation to the HOOT members for their long dedication to giving us all a wonderful late summer painting experience. What a great show we had this year. The students in both classes surpassed all expectations…the students just seem to get better and better each year. Everyone seemed to enjoy the classes, and we giggled our way through the Hildy class as each distinct personality developed!

It was difficult to tell what was the most popular in the booth. The newly released, Christmas Wishes Santa walked out of the booth almost as fast as we could restock…but Down the Chimney He Goes was a close second. Of course, the new ornaments were a hit as well. All the signature wood pieces were hot sellers, both newly released items and those that were released last year.

HOOT is a time to visit with long time painting friends and to meet new folks. Check out my facebook page for more photos and write ups.
