More updates and images from CHA...

I wanted to share some more photos from CHA. Sadly, I didn't get nearly as many as I would have liked. There was so much inspiration in one place it was almost ridiculous!
This was hanging above The Girls Paperie booth. So pretty, see what I mean? lolThis was part of the display at the Pink Paislee/House of 3 booth. How cute is this?!I loved the Soiree collection, arriving in stores in March. These pictures don't even do it justice! The colors are so much more vibrant in real life. (click on the name of the collection above to see full preview)

Another of their new releases is Daily Junque. This one has my name written ALL OVER IT!(Click on the collection name above to check this one out too!)

GCD Studios had the CUTEST booth ever. It was vintage carnival themed and I loved all of the attention to detail! Look at this, it was an adorable little kissing booth they had. Suzy didn't even make me pay her for the kiss!I am walking the tightrope,while Sarah working on her biceps. hee heeThere was a photo booth at Doodlebug Design that we used a few times. So much fun!We were having such a good time we could barely pull ourselves away from the booth.While hanging out near the booth we met up with Patti and Diana from Art Inspired Studios. I love these ladies and think the world of them. I am so happy to be a part of their awesome store's design team.We stopped by the Hambly booth several times. We had the best time hanging out & laughing with Cris, Rose, Allison and Mr. Harry Hambly.While roaming the show floor I ran into Heather Fuentes and Angie Backen. I met these girls way back in the day when we were all "SIS"ters at SIS TV. It was so good to finally meet these girlies in real life. Miss Heather was so happy to see me she just couldn't keep her hands off of my bottom. hee heeThis pic is from one of the evenings we had dinner at The Yardhouse. They have the absolute yummiest Macaroni & Cheese I've ever had in my entire life! We laughed SO much at this table!After dinner we walked back through LA Live and stopped to take a few snapshots...
These girls kept me in stitches the entire trip. :-)In this photo you can kind of see the crowd congregating outside of the Staples Center. There was a Clippers game that night and there was live broadcast going on. Well, let's just say that we made our way up to the front of the crowd and got our faces onto Fox Sports! Whoo hoo. There goes about 30 seconds of my 15 minutes of fame. lol
All in all the show was lots of fun. We did a massive amount of order for Sarah's store, Our Paper Place. She got SOOO much good stuff and her store is going to be jam packed with the best of the best from the show. Once again, thanks for stopping by!

Return from blogging obsurity...

Knock, knock, knock...anybody still there? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?! lol
I kid, I kid. Truth is, I would be surprised if anyone even looks at this anymore. I have been in relative blogging obscurity for a little while. I have been maintaining time for creativity, but my life has been a bit mad as of late and something honestly had to give...I have missed sharing bits and "pieces of me" here on the blog and I'd like make more regular appearances to this little place.
I have had a massive amount of growth, change and activity in my life, but rather than bore you with all the "wordy" details I with share pics from my most recent scrapbooking foray. Ready? Set? GO!
Day one of the show consisted of lots of craziness and fun. Here are some of the highlights:
Angel, Suzy, Madison of Echo Park, Julia, Sarah and I. Notice Suzy in a fit of laughter here? This was what we looked like most of the weekend!
One of my favorite new releases of the entire show was Echo Park's "For the Record"! What do you think? Yummy, right?! I am currently in possession of two pieces of this collection, so I plan to use them wisely until I can get my hands on the entire new release.
I also have two piece of "Hello Springtime" in my hot little hands! I can't wait to use these up, which shouldn't take long! lol
THIS was the clear, sunny, beautiful view from our hotel room...
This is what the show floor looked like on Friday. Huge crates everywhere while manufacturers scrabbled to set up!
Me in one of those huge crates. hee hee

Suzy's class for Bella Blvd. the first night. So fun! Everyone had SO MUCH FUN!!!!!
This is Sarah, Julie (BMW girl) and I after the class.

Hollywood or bust!
Us on our way to LA Live to eat at The Yardhouse. All I can say is yummmmmmmm....
There was a Laker game at The Staple Center the first night we were in town. Sadly, they lost to the Sacramento Queens, I mean Kings... Still, I couldn't pass up a chance to get my picture taken next to Magic Johnson. The man, the myth, the legend...
Oh my...That may not seem like a long post, but after being away for so long I am exhausted! lol
More on my super fab trip in the coming days...I promise! Thank you so much for stopping by!
