Well hello there! This is JOY, Jules’ faithful sidekick, taking over the blog temporarily to tell you that we are BEYOND excited to go to WPPI this year. We’ve got a full schedule and we want to make sure to let you know where we’ll be and when we’ll be there. If you see either of us on the tradeshow floor or out & about, be sure and come up to say hello. Who knows, we might hand you a prize. Since we do look alike, if you don’t know who you are talking to you just ask. But secretly I know that I’m the favorite sister (don’t tell Jules I said that).
Here goes the Schedule, people. Keep up.
