wow, we have gotten over a few hundred submissions, and i have to saying we have been very impressed with the quality of work so far! we have some tough choices ahead of us. For those of you who applied you should have gotten a confirmation e-mail from us. We will be announcing the DT by August 1st,
Thanks everybody for your enthusiasm and hard work!
so there are going to be a lot of pics in this post! i just got back from a trip to san diego! i was only there for a few days, but really did so much stuff. i was originally just going doing to visit my sister and work on some wedding stuff, but of course we did lots more (even though the date is in Nov, still so much to do now). My sister just moved into a new place, so it was cool to see how she decorated it. (of course there was lots of little bits of Hambly around the place. (the clouds are salt and pepper shakers she got in ny, so it's like it's raining when you use it)She also has a collection of Hammerpress Posters, i might have to steal the way she framed them.
These little puppets also make me happy, it was part if the xmas gift zach and i sent her. love the Tenebaums.
And of course i spend some time shopping at the store where she works, everytime i visit (India Ink Papers), there are new things i notice and buy, i love all the details there- such eye candy!! I also ended up teaching a class at Ever After Scrapbooks, (thanks to everybody who came, since it was such a last minute class, such a fun group of girls!)
And one of the highlights of the trip was meeting with my sisters co-worker Alice and husband David, they are
designing these plastic/acrylic flowers for our wedding, i'll be using
them instead of real flowers for mine and the bridemaids bouquets and boutonnieres! They
are going to be so cool, i'm now looking for some cool vintage buttons
to put in the centers. i'll post pics in a few months when i get them.
we also hit some golf balls off
the roof of their home! It used to be a hotel, and that's AstroTurf you see coving the roof! I could so easily live there...
here are the names we picked to get some hambly goodies. please e-mail me your addresses when you get a chance

So excited to have Jo-Anne all the way from The Netherlands for this month guest dt designer. Check out her colorful gallery. love all the flowers she used in her projects :)*giveaway*
we are also having our monthly giveaway so post a comment below and we'll pick some winners!
well it's been a while since i've posted...trying to wrap up a few things before summer CHA, and all the new DT submissions!!! and getting ready to teach a class at Ever After Scrapbooks in San Diego next weekend. -this was taken at central park, when i was in new york. such a great day with good friends :)
my sister and i also had the best time just checking out all the displays at the anthropologie in rockefeller center. very inspiring.
lots more pics i need to share.
i'm also working on the guest dt gallery for June, she is all the way from the Netherlands- it will be up soon!
we've decided to look for new talent for the Hambly Design Team. If you are interested in applying you can read the details in the pdf.
*UPDATE* We are also accepting international submissions!
I'll post the winners from the May giveaway once i'm back in town next monday (it may take some time to read through all of them). just wanted to do a quick post with some pics from new york. the show is going great so far. my sister made some great invitations using our screen prints papers & overlays, that are just perfect for the stationary show. they turned out so awesome!
i still haven't had much time to check out anything else in the show, but ugly dolls have a display down the aisle from us and they are just too cute! 
chandeliers, owls and woodgrain are still a big trend! our hotel has this cool chandelier on the whole side of the bar.
You can see Rachel's work in her gallery. We are just loving all of her projects. I think these two may be my favorites, but i'm also loving the earrings. She used overlays/rub-ons in ways that i haven't see yet, and did it with such style- so cool!
It's time for our monthly giveway- so post a comment below, and we'll pick some winners to get some new stuff. I just love reading all the comments :)
