I thought you all might be interested in this. "After the trade show each year, I am always left thinking about the whole chain of the craft world - manufacturers make things to sell to shops who sell to individual crafters who make new things with their own hands. I would like to help be more of a voice in between those steps, helping to relay what crafters really want to buy and use to the shops and manufacturers that make those products happen.
With that in mind, I have a few questions and today I would like to hear *what do you want to find in craft stores but have trouble getting?*"
--- you can see the rest of what she's asking and answer the question here: Shimelle's Fbk group (not sure if the link is to the exact post, sorry, but I think you need to join the group to comment anyway) |

The link works...I just joined to offer my thoughts about not finding new paper lines any of the box stores anymore...

Too bad she's not a pea (or is she?). We've had SO MANY informative threads on that very topic here.

I haven't seen her here or heard her refer to us (she seems like a straightforward person who wouldn't lurk). She's got a lot to keep up with already, but maybe we should invite her to come read here. Maybe email her a link to relevant discussions? She's obviously interested to hear what people have to say and she's been really good about explaining how designing for AC works and how some of the business decisions get made. |

She's obviously interested to hear what people have to say and she's been really good about explaining how designing for AC works and how some of the business decisions get made. I am pretty sure she was in the old board. She took the time and trouble to thank me on Twitter (this was years ago, though) for input after she asked Q's about soundproofing. She strikes me as someone who participates when she has time. You make an excellent point about the peas- nicolep there is a goldmine of info here and the industry should keep up. It does irk me when they come in to make an announcement but don't stay to participate though. A little bit of give and take creates so much goodwill. |

I posted about wanting to have less pink (in every line on most papers) and she said it is what sells. I wasn't surprised, but she asked what I wanted!

I would like to buy 9x12 albums with page protectors readily available. Different variety page protectors, too.
Not from Studio Calico. Maybe more like the WRMK albums.

Responses like that irritate the crap out of me. She asked what you wanted...you told her. And yes, pink sells because its all that is offered. SaveSave |
