Special Edition | 2017 National Stationery Show, Part 1

I recently was in New York for the National Stationery Show where myself and approximately 70 of our Paper Camp alumni were exhibiting. And, I thought it would be fun to chat with a handful of exhibitors, everyone from first time exhibitors to seasoned pros. This episode is part one of a two part special edition series and it features interviews with Stephanie from Dahila Press, Katie from The Good Twin, Shino and Ken from Fugu Fugu Press, Michelle from Meeschmosh, Denise from Friendly Fire Paper and Chelsea from Sugar Paper. Enjoy!
