Hello my friends! It is over and life is starting to return to normal (if it ever WAS normal)...
I have SO many pictures to post, SO many fun stories to share and SO many amazing products to talk about, and as always, SOOOOOOOOOO much to say. But there is one small problem. I don't have enough time on my hands to accomplish this task. So today I will share a little and then tomorrow a little more and on and on and on...
Let me start my overview of CHA with my favorite part - the people. First, I made a new friend who I like to refer to as the "cutest human" I have ever seen. I've always loved her scrapbooking style, I love her new product line called Dear Lizzy, and now that I have met her, I love HER as well! She is just the sweetest thing, and if possible is even cuter in real life (if possible, I reiterate). So fun getting to know you Elizabeth!
Lizzy was sweet enough to allow me to ride her bike (or upon further thought, maybe she never said yes to this request) up and down the CHA isles. I would love to have a picture of this embarrassing moment, but my 2 dear friends some how forgot to take any!!!!!!!??????!!!!!!! They did get a video of it and perhaps it will some day be posted...but for now, you just get the still shot of me right before I took off. Lucky there were no CHA mall cops around (except for Cheryl Waters if she counts). Check out the CUTE booth behind me!
Speaking of Cheryl Waters, my friends and I went to visit her at the Fiskars booth. We soon discovered our favorite part of the show - we got to dress up and head to Hollywood!!! I pretended to be famous and winning an Oscar while my two body guards pretended to be the paparazzi (Annie Adams and Laura Bloom if you can't tell from this shot).
For some reason, Annie thought she was REALLY supposed to be shooting the "star", so she got quite a few awesome photos of just my cavities and that hangy thing in my throat...but I'll keep those shots to myself.
This lovely group of women were at the Creating Keepsakes booth for Lizzy's book signing. From left to right are Laura Vegas (loved meeting her), Megan Hoeppner from CK, ME, Joannie McBride from CK, and Elizabeth Kartchner.
This is Summer Fullerton who has the cutest hair style ever! She was working at the Jillibean booth which was also adorable!
Love these cute girls: Lisa Vanderveen and Kelly Goree - we had such a good time at dinner and hanging out. Thank you for coming down and for this cute picture Lisa!!!
Here is Cheryl Waters playing a ... hmmm ... pair of scissors? First she stabbed me with them (won't show THAT gross photo) and then she started rocking out with them. And to think she carries hand cuffs on a regular basis - scary!!!
I got the chance to meet Sherry Steveson for the first time!!! She is such a sweetheart and so cute - those cheeks - I just couldn't stop pinching them!
Here is the wall of shame. See if you can find two of my good pals on here:
Check out Annie's blog for more fun photos of us having a crazy time (as usual) together. And yes, those ARE my slippers with Liz's cute stilettos. Nice to know I can still hold my own at my age, huh? Let's just say I had way too many blisters to wear shoes!!!
More tomorrow - so much more! Suzy
What I will do to get a free Slice......or not!!! Slipper pic should be in your inbox!

Okay, you clearly had WAY too much fun at the show. LOL Thanks for spreading the joy and good times, Suzy. And thanks for playing taxi driver, even if you were too patient to honk. ;)
