The Bag Was Gone

Off to Woodinville to see the last proofs. The most expensive product, laminated cardstock, is the ONLY way to go. The colors are so brilliant you have to wear sunglasses to play the game.
Got a five pound can of automotive spray adhesive at the beautiful downtown Kenmore Shucks of all places. They guaranteed the laminated top would not peel away from the bottom board like the other two mockups.
Got my little substitute paychecks and headed for Ostroms. At the grand opening last month they had a fabulous lime-green mesh tote bag with faux alligator trim on the top and bottom and handles. I dreamed about walking into driving schools with it brimming with the colorful games for a month. I walked in and it was gone. Sold last night. Drat.
Popped into Connie's and Anna did not want to be on the game and that was that.
Off to Steve's with the mock ups. The individual trim-to-bleed then lammed top sheets shrank from trimming leaving a one inch discrepancy between the top and bottom board sizes. The delay will only be a day at the most. Looks like we will be ordering $2,000.00 worth of product since our ship came in today. Only a matter of days before start-up!
