Once a year, I get to attend the CHA show in Anaheim. Although the lead-up to the show is usually a very busy (thus stressful) time for me, the actual show itself is an amazing time! You can't get any better than walking around new scrapbook products and hanging out with online/scrappy friends for days. It's the best. And I am lucky because it is only 30 minutes from my house (if there is not traffic, which is never the case)...
I am super duper excited to see my good friend Lisa Vanderveen who is coming down from LA to go to the show with me. We will be having dinner on Saturday with another great friend, Kelly Goree, who I only get to see once a year. On Saturday afternoon, I will be working at the CHA Consumer show at the Scrapbook Oasis booth. I made a couple of mini book kits that she will be selling, so come stop by and say hi! On Monday, I am going to the show with my good friends Annie and Laura which means LOTS of laughter! And Monday night, I get to have dinner with my favorite magazine editors at Creating Keepsakes which will be a high point. I can't wait to meet and visit with them! I am also looking forward to meeting Laura Vegas who is on the CK Dream Team with me!
I will take LOTS of pictures for all of you that can't be there and want to be. Just leave me a comment if there are any particular people or products that you want pictures of and I will do my best to get them! I am not working any booths, so visiting and taking photos will be my priority! Hope to see many of you there!
And with THAT, I will leave you with my layout about CHA last year that was in the January issue of CK:

I would love pictures of you eating candy from a candy bowl in *every* booth. ;) Or maybe eating an apple with me. :)

Very cool. I bet you will have fun, I think it would be amazing to go!! Say Hi to Laura, from her kiwi friend Megan, she is such a great person and I know you will have lots of laughs. Likewise to Laura. I would also love to meet her one day as well, but in the meantime remain email pals :o) Good luck for your classes at Scrapbook Oasis, that store is awesome!!
