This past Thursday January 26th, Ken, Laura, Samantha and myself attended the SAAGNY winter showcase 2012.  The plethora of trade show items were amazing.  Any promotional product you could think of was there.  Any item you may want imprinted they had on display.  It really makes you think about how many of these items you come in contact with every single day.  We all had a great time walking the show and are looking forward to selling many of these item to our customers!

This Wonderful Caddyshack quote is what I think of everytime I TRY to golf.  Last Time I "tried", the caddy was supposed to bring our clubs back to the club house.  Hs did not!  If it wasn't for my Custom luggage tag I might never of found them.  Now when I travel I have one of these helpful Promotional items on everything from my laptop case to my backpack.  It's a huge help and inexpensive for company giveaways.

Only a week into the new year, and I am wondering where my travles will take me.  I love to travel, and with family and friends from coast to coast, it is the only choice if I want to see them in person.  Each year I pack up my custom garment bag and attach my custom luggage tag and hit the road!  I have to miss my annual Arizona trip in March this year, so I will miss the Cubs and White Sox spring training games and also my Mom who lives in Apache Junction AZ.  Then in April, we attend the White Sox home opener in Chicago.  This is an annual event that I have been attending since I was 14 years old, and that's a long time ago!  Vegas is on the list, and New Orleans too!  These are usually fast and furious weekend trips that leave me exhausted but happy.  My Dad is in Georgia so we try to get there in the summer for some boating fun on Lake Lanier with my 4 siblings and their children and that is one heck of a party!  We have to try to get to Wisconsin to visit my Father in Law (he will not travel to us!).  In the future we are planning to expand our horizons and take our family to France and other destinations in Europe.  I wish the US had a more European attitude to vacationing!  So where will your travels take you this year?

In 2 weeks, I am going on my first ski trip of the year with a bunch of my friends to a beautiful house that we rented in the Poconos. Of course I make a big deal about everything and already started packing my customized tote bag that I won at a raffle at the Motivators holiday party. I, of course have to put my custom luggage tag on my bags that I had ordered from Motivators for my trip to Turkey past summer. Everytime I think of something I am scared of forgetting, I throw it in the bag to make sure I don't leave anything behind. Last year, we got rained/thundered out. Hoping this time we can actually enjoy ourselves.
