Hello Bloggers,

It has been 3 weeks since we returned from CHA and the response to our new products has been very positive – thank you!   It goes without saying that the demand for the new Distress Markers has been overwhelming and as a result we are currently out of stock.  Rest assured that we have ramped up production and are working hard to replenish our stock.  We expect to start shipping again to Retailers on or around March 15^th.  Our policy is to ship to customers on a first come, first served basis.  Retailers who have recently placed orders for the markers need not worry as we expect to receive new Distress Marker inventory approximately every 10 business days to satisfy the current demand.

We apologize for the delays and appreciate your patience.  Thank you for your continued support for Ranger.

 The Ranger Team

CHA may be over, but our Ranger troupe still travels on. This past weekend was the UK's Craft and Hobby Show.  Ranger was there represented by our Sales Director Alain Avrillon, Tim Holtz, Dyan Reaveley and Mario Rossi.

Here is a look at some of the goings on…

Then it was off to QVC UK…
