CHA

Well, between me and Susan we took about 1000 pics at CHA! I've been waiting to post until I had them all together, but I don't have all of them yet, so I wanted to recap the best parts of CHA for me!

1. Getting to stay at the gorgeous Peabody Hotel, and the total experience of CHA thanks to Susan, who I will be forever grateful to!!!

2. Meeting some of my online friends and scrap Idols: Cari Fennel, Sharon Lakkonen, Lucy Edson, Annabelle O'Malley, Krissy Mosbarger, Susan Dupree and more. Plus got to meet our very own MME rep. the one and only KC, he's hilarious.

3. Seeing some of my Scrap Idols work in person, like Greta Hammond, I have always admired her style. Vicki Boutin, who is super talented and of course all the Prima girls!!!!

4. Getting to see all the wonderful new lines that are coming out, getting to help pick out all the orders, staying up late pouring over catalogs, rushing to get to all the booths, just the total experience!!!

I loved it, except the drive back, with the horrible traffic, the rain storms (monsoons really!!!) the accidents and the long ride, but other than that it was super!!!! I'm ready for next year if Susan can put up with me again!!!!!

Sounds like had a great time Patti. I so wish I could have been there too. I would loved to meet some of those ladies who are also my scrapidols. Mostly I would have loved to meet you, Susan and Krissy. Hopefully one day.
