sorry in advance for the amount of pictures of me! :) I feel SO blessed to have been able to go to CHA again this year and see all the new stuff! We discussed it as a group and for us it was the SECOND happiest place on earth next to Disneyland! ;)
So here we go with a photo review:
Friday (arrived safe!)
We arrived just in time to go to California Adventures!! We had a GREAT time
dinner--southwestern Caesar's salad:
yep, we stood in line for an hour for this, partly because there was a delay... my 10 year old REALLY didn't want me to go on this BEFORE him, he told me I would RUIN it!! He even told me I wasn't allowed to take pictures--TOUGH kid! Texted this to my husband--10 year old's reaction--"NO!"
Tessa in yellow--me in the blue--it was INCREDIBLY cold I had 4 layers on and still SHIVERING!! Note to self next time the weather channel says it's going to be 52, believe it!
(these pictures are not really in order)
Day 1 (Saturday):
American Crafts, was VERY quiet when the show first opened, I walked right up and talked with
Elizabeth Kartchner
Scrapbook Circle girls got to meet
Kristine,
Nicole. Then Me,
Heather,
Rebecca,
Lisa, and
Tessa.
Heather, Elle (owner designer of
Elle's Studio) Lisa, Me, and Rebecca.
I was INCREDIBLY excited to meet with the TALENTED
Celine Navarro--she is ADORABLE in person!
SO fun to meet
Becky Higgins! Had to personally thank her for inventing Project Life, it has brought my family into preserving our family memories and I LOVE it!
Ali Edwards! SO incredibly cool to meet her--I think I was surprised at how tall she is! Don't know why I think all creative people have to be about the same height--just funny how you imagine someone and then you meet them in person....(I know TOTALLY random!)
I TOTALLY admire and am inspired with Stephanie Howell--felt like a stalker but she is SERIOUSLY a SWEETHEART--she even posted me on her
BLOG!
Happen to glance over and see fellow DT member for
Elle's Studio Jennnifer Larson
Heather,
Melissa Stinson, Jennie, and Me (the other girls are linked above)
Talented
Tina Walker! We share the same taste in shoes...funny I noticed her shoes BEFORE I noticed who was in them! :)
Had to travel ALL the way to Anaheim to meet
Maggie Holmes who lives about 10 minutes from me at home!
Me and an elephant--not sure why they had one...actually there was another elephant there as well...
Dinner at the kitchen table at Buca de Bepo:
silly girls posing:
I don't remember what this was called but it was YUMMY:
Day 2:
Okay this makes me TOTALLY laugh!
Suzy Plantamura is HILARIOUS--our humor as you can see is QUITE similar. I was SO sad I didn't get to talk to her the first day, I thought I wouldn't see her the second. But as we were placing orders I saw her and RAN down the isle! (I met her last year and we have become instagram friends). No, there wasn't even one serious shot! :)
Snapped a QUICK picture of
Lisa Truesdell, she had JUST arrived and wanted to see the show but kept seeing people!
Tessa,
Heidi Swapp, and Me.
Owner and designer of Bella Blvd.
Stephanie Hunt.
Shimelle Lane flew in from England--pretty fun to meet her and snap a shot!
Heather,
Emily Pitts, Me, and Tessa snapping a quick shot in the Maya Road booth.
the gifted Ck dream team member
Laina Lamb!
After turning in all our orders we had to hit the road to get home to our families. It was a QUICK trip but we were able to plan 5 kits that are AWESOME so seriously stay tuned to the
Scrapbook Circle kits they are going to ROCK!!
the road:
the lovely sunset:
And someone was VERY happy to have me home!
If you've made this far I thank you for taking the time to see my CHA review--I REALLY appreciate the visit (this post took me 3 days to do!)
