Whew! I am tired!

Ok, CHA is officially over, my feet are blistered, I cant stop yawning...but talk about a great time!  Although the show is much smaller than Anaheim, it created a great little intimate opportunity to spend quality time with manufacturers and friends!

I ran into some of my favorite peeps, including Michelle Voeke and Tim Holtz.  Hung out with two incredible companies, Graphic45 and ScrapNArt.com, worked the floor, worked a booth, and met alot of online friends!  It was a fantastically wonderful time!

If you want some great coverage on the things we saw at the show visit the SCRAP N' ART BLOG for the CHA Spectacular!  No need to post twice so head on over there! 

SO FIRST OF ALL THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!  As press I was invited to attend the invitation only ProvoCraft reception, which was a total blast....we had a great open bar, fabulous food and one helluva swag bag.  Can you guess what was in the bag?  Oh YEAH!  A gypsy! and a great new From My Kitchen cartridge and wonderful indie craft book. Can you say one HAPPY CAMPER!

 
Yes Loralie, Tim says "HI" girlfriend!  We had a great time hanging out with the oh so debonair Mr. Holtz!

 
Caught Donna on the way out, she is teaching for our LSS next month, she is a doll!  Karyn: Donna and the gang says HI!

And of course, some Graphic45 love!

 
All of us Graphic45 girls helped Michelle Van Etten of Tattered Angels teach the Botanicabella album at the CHA workshop!

  
The Graphic45 Girls!  A little R & R with Aimee, Diane and Charee.  Are they not the most beautiful family!  (I am now officially adopted)  Love them to pieces!

Got Dirt?

These were fun papers to use for my daughters girl scout outing, I cannot believe my middle baby is now 16 and getting her license, but she still loves to be a day camp leader, she is great with kids.  As you know I just love to cut up patterned paper, and that I did.  These pictures were a perfect fit.

This layout was designed for Krop, Paper, Scissors.
