Some of you may remember this post from last November when we went to the American Crafts Warehouse Sale and raided the shelves. This time, however, our editorial team, along with our lovely Go-to Gals (who flew in for our annual Editorial Board Meetings (We were sure glad to see them (There are a lot of parentheticals in this sentence))), went straight to the source of it all—the American Crafts offices.
And guess who just happened to be in the office that day? Elizabeth Kartchner, designer of the Dear Lizzy line for American Crafts and author of the Dear Lizzy blog!

After some great pictures, we all sat down to look at some new and upcoming paper collections and other fun crafting supplies. What a treat!

It sure was fun to look at some of the new products American Crafts has, and Go-to Gal Jennifer McGuire was there to see them too!

Then we got the official American Crafts tour.
Grant giving us the tour!
We met some designers and interviewed them about where they find inspiration, and we peeked in to see the crafters’ room—where they design and make sample projects. Plus, we got a look at the big warehouse where it’s all stored!
Rows of paper, a crafter's dream come true?
Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay there all day, but of course, we had to get a group shot before we left!
The whole group!
Last but certainly not least, our generous American Crafts friends sent us home with some delightful goodies, and we’d love to give away a few of those goodies here! Today!
Tell us what your favorite American Crafts product or collection is, and one of you will win all of this American Crafts goodness! All comments must be received by Wednesday, May 2nd at 5 pm MDT.
