Meeting Amy Tan

Meeting Amy Tan

Spotlight recently hosted Amy Tan to promote her Ready, Set, Go line in Australia.

Thanks to Emily, who opened the Spotlight catalogue, I noticed a little ad and sure enough, Amy Tan was not only visiting Australia, but coming to Perth. I knew she'd visited last year, but never expected my local store to make the cut! We have exactly 2 aisles of scrapbooking supplies in our local spotlight.

I was thrilled to find out about this, as it's pretty rare to have a scrapbooking celeb come to Australia.

We had a great time an created a card and two tags with Ready Set Go.

 

My sister Cait and I headed to spotlight for the morning and were excited see another friend of ours there too. There was a bunch of ladies from the Project Life Australia group too, I was so excited to meet some more scrappy people in Perth!
Amy was kind enough to have photos with us and sign things for us. I happy to share my daybook with her and get her to autograph my copy of Everyday Storyteller (she contributed to Volume 1). Amy was a delight, and so kind to take the time to really look at the little book.
