Heidi Swapp Announces Move to China

While we were at the beach…Eric made a purchase that I have been anticipating for about 3 months: 7 one-way tickets to Beijing, China leaving Sept. 24th.

With these words, Heidi Swapp announces her family is moving to China.

Swapp will continue to design for her Heidi Swapp line of products through Advantus, working with staff remotely via "email, IM and cameras to do almost all our communication internally".  She will also continue teaching on-line at Big Picture Scrapbooking.

The Swapp family has "committed" to live in China for one year, and expects to return to the United States after the Beijing Olympics and before 2008 Creative Escape.  Swapp will also return for several industry and teaching events.
