CHA 2016 has come and gone, everybody, and what a fantastic experience it was! Thank you for visiting our booth whether it was in person or by tuning in to Pericope or reading this blog or checking up with us on Instagram...this community of us Happy Planners, we certainly are a special bunch.
Below you can see photos of our booth at the show, The Happy Planner™ Bar in action, and photos of some of our FABulous visitors including @rsw_scrapbooks, @tenianelson, Maddie & Hannah, @estherbunnypaperart, @ericarosecreates, @sparkplug17, @thanhvo, and of course our girls Meghan and Katy from @blitsycrafts -- who all professed their love for The Happy Planner™.

We also had a few of our Design Team members make it to the show, and hang out at our booth. It's always fun to put a real-life face to the name, and voice & personality to the face you see on screen. Let me tell you: they are some of the sweetest and most talented girls in the game! Really and truly. Go follow them. ALL. Like now. ;) Learn more about them HERE.
After the first day of CHA, mambi owner Stephanie Fleming was nice enough to invite the girls back to me & my BIG ideas headquarters for some hot chocolate, dinner & dessert, and Happy Planner™ picking! Yeah. That's the kind of magic Stephanie makes. Look at all those smiling faces below!
Day 2 and 3 of CHA were busy and filled with videos and Periscopes and make-&-takes and Happy Planner™ discussions and oh, what a great time it was! Below, you'll see some of the new products that are coming out in addition to all the new Happy Planner™ items. We're releasing a bunch of new mambiSTICKS stickers and POCKET PAGES™ cards (which will look great inside your Happy Planner™ pocket pages - eek!). We're also releasing a line of products called mambiMAKERS, and basically they are DIYs in a box. Every key piece of supplies you'd need to complete the DIY - whether it be photo cubes or wood block hanging frames or shrink magnets - is in the kit. Lastly, a new line of Expandable Paper Pads will be hitting our online shop and store shelves. It's thinner and glossier than scrap paper, and folds open to a whopping 18.3" x 25.8". They're great to use for wrapping, decoupaging, or large scale paper crafting.

Finally, worth mentioning (of course), is our brand new Happy Planners™ and accessories. We remember last year at CHA when The Happy Planner™ made it's first appearance out in the world, and people didn't know what the line was all about. We never could have expected the huge amount of positive response it's received this past year, and how large this Happy Planning community has grown.
