So I went to CHA this weekend... but I can't remember a single product I saw (besides the AMAZING things Sally and Josie did for Prima). Because what is better than thousands of brand new scrapbooking products? Meeting online friends and catching up with old ones. Seriously, as we walked the floors of the Donald E. Stephens Convention center, we would make it about 5 feet before we stopped to chit-chat for 30 minutes. It's amazing how you can have so much to talk about with people you've never met before. Being around these amazing woman makes me so happy.
So I want to show some pics to you all of all these fabulous ladies!
<Insert missing picture here>
I'm so bummed! The first group I wound up talking with we didn't take a pic! It included most of the ladies in the next pic along with CD Muckosky,and Amy Martin. How I wish some of their talent had rubbed off on me.. hehe
In this pic: Kellie P, Lynne Stacey, Kim Hendricks, Maureen Spell, Kari Schoonover, Me, Jen Wilson, Janet Phillips, and Hollie.
And then there's our lunch crowd! I'd made reservations for us all to go out to lunch at Ram (a brewery of course!!!) In this pic:
Left: Heather Ann Melzer, Deann McDaniel, Tracie Radtke, Me, Mish Gasser
Right: Kristin Tilley, Terra Atkinson, Hollie, Kellie P, Janet Phillips, Robin Cabana, Taran Conyers, Audra Little
Back at CHA we have: Deann McDaniel, Tracie Radtke, Holly McCaig, Mish Gasser, Audra Little, Me, Nancie Rowe Janitz, Robin Cabana.
Lastly, a pic of me and my buddy, Janet.
I often wonder if people think Janet and I don't like each other because we have competing product lines. Honestly, it's exactly the opposite. I love this girl. We could talk and talk and talk for hours on end. We have nothing but respect and admiration for each other and I wish so much that we lived closer because I know we would hang out every day! She even puts up with me dragging her to brewery's every time we meet up! (Even one that only served peanuts when we were supposed to be having lunch.. heheh)
And well of course i had to scrap it all..
