wheew. CHA was a Blast!

I'm back to work today and am very tired. got home last night about 930-1000. No one had done a thing at my house all weekend. it didn't help that i left the kitchen table trashed with my scrapping supplies, lol. No one bothered to give chloe (my shitz tzu) a bath either. so guess what i did at 1000PM last night when i was exhausted. yep, gave the puppy a bath. someone is gonna pay for that. as they say, pay backs are H$((. lol. AND Chloe doesn't hardly want to have anything to do with me. little twirp. she is MAD at me. and it is hurting my feelings. she took to biting while i was gone to, not just nips as puppies do, but hard left me a bruise on my arm bite. She is making me pay for leaving her at home i guess. now i'm not to sure which is my favorite child. the girls may have a chance now, lol.

OH, did you want to know about CHA?
oh OK then. we arrived thursday about 11 at Navy Pier. such a fun time. then we ventured the streets of chicago to find out hotel. well we found it all right. it was awful. i can stay almost anywhere, but here we were afraid of walking into our hotel when the sun went down, if ya know what i mean. soooooo Rona got on the phone with hotels.com and explained the situation and they found us another hotel (which cost more $$$ but we did not care!) and it was AWESOME. a sheraton suite. very cool and very worth it. checked in then went to the convention center where we eat some free food and attended some sneak peeks. then went home and crashed. awwww a great night sleep.

Friday morning we went back to the convention center and convinced two other ladies they could ride with us. well we got just a little lost and found our way after a few minutes. they were really nice and they continued to ride with us the other two days, even thou we got them lost!!!!! lol Rona ordered http://www.fancypantsdesigns.com/store/index.php? fancy pants and wow!!! just you wait. it is awesome! stop by the store cause Rona got some samples for being one of the first 25 customers!!!! see all that whining i did to order Fancy Pants first paid off!!! lol then she went and did more orders. let me see if i can remember them all. There was Cloud9, Heidi Grace, Heidi Swapp, Cropper Hopper, Some new Tim Holtz stuff that is awesome, and then i lost Her and Nikki and walked around getting catalogs and doing a few make and takes. it was a very long day. i ran into Giboney and Brandon of Piggy Tales. they do great make and takes and i did 2 of theirs. i just love them all there. so sweet. and the products they have coming out are awesome too!!!! we made it back to the suites (that sounds so cool, lol) and did some brainstorming and did some more orders to turn in the next day.

Saturday and Sunday Rona turned in more orders and just let me tell you we are getting some awesome stuff!!!! Dream Street, Luxe, Rusty Pickle, Page Frames, October Afternoon (cool new clear stamps that stamp reallllly nice and some cool charactors), Prima, Sonburn, Stampendous, Ranger, May Arts (OMG this is the ribbon we always get and we had THREE pages of orders!!!!! cool stuff here girls), Buttons Galore (let me say that we are gonna have to put buttons on EVERY single page for classes that i do in the future if that tells you how many i requested, lol), Bo Bunny (ok check out this link http://mb.lifetimemoments.com/viewtopic.php?t=149230 it's a sneak peak from Bo Bunny. now this order i wanted ALOT of it. i love the tiny polka dot paper and i hope alot of you will too, lol. Look for alot of this to show up in my classes and kits.), Queen and Co (awesome new felt!), Maya Road, 7 gypies, Hampton Art, and i'm not sure what else. i'm mush!

So new things should start coming in anytime so be on teh look out!

let me just end with this. i requested alot of stuff soooooo I have decided to do a 11 hour Retreat on September 8. Nikki has agreed to teach also along with Angela (i can not remember her name at the moment, dang it!) but she is awesome. She is gonna stitch on some of her layouts for the classes and we'll bring in our sewing machines (which means i will have to take the one i have outta the box, lol) So mark you calendars, get a babysitter, send the Husband off fishing and come scrapbook with us. There will be more info on this later, just thought i would throw it out there!!!

See Ya Soon,
