Yes, I know I've neglected my blog since I've been gone, but I've been sooooooo busy!
I woke up early this morning (again) and wanted to let you all know I am still here, working hard at buying lots of good stuff! And believe it, it's hard work spending all this money! LOL!
I'm sure you've been reading a lot about CHA and seeing lots of pictures of new products on other blogs. I happen to know that Cowboy Sock Monkey is doing his 5 top pics every day. You may even recognize some of the hands holding him...or not? In the off chance that you've missed it, be sure to check it out on Laurie's Blog .
Sunday night we went to the SCS Cupcake Reception, and I met a LOT of people who you would know. This is just one quick pic with some of my favorite people. Amy Sheffer of Pickled Paper Designs, Laurie Schmidlin , the short person with the dorky look in the middle is me. I have never been photogenic! Then there is Tosha Leyendekker and the infamous Carolyn King . I can't begin to tell you how fun it was to meet these ladies for the fist time! It's as if we've known each other forever!
I have so much to tell you, and some photos to share as well. But time is at a premium, so it will have to wait for now. I will be back when I can.
I WILL tell you now that I've been reading the blog candy comments in the post below, and I think you will be pleased with many of the purchases I've made so far! October Afternoon isn't here, so I haven't seen their new releases, but I've already made it to MANY of the other booths. More about that later. I need to hop in the shower so I can be ready when the convention center opens. Only a day and a half left, and there is much yet to buy!
Don't forget to register for the blog candy. Oh...what the heck. If you have already registered, why don't you get a second chance on this post? Any old comment will do?
I'll be back as soon as I can. Until then....
Happy Holidays

Thank you for the link to Laurie's blog. I LOVE the sock monkey. It looks like you are having a wonderful time. Can't wait to see more pics.
Just checkin' in for CHA updates - TFS and thanx for the 2nd chance for blog candy!
Hi Michelle -
I so wish I could be there. You sound as if you are having so much fun!! But as I understand it, the regular stamper/craft person can't get into CHA, only instructors, store owners, etc. Am I correct? Sigh - so I guess I'll have to live vicariously through you!!!!LOL
Enjoy!

A second chance to win? Yea!!! I don't know if I even entered my first chance... I wish I could go to CHA, just for the fun of it but alas... I live too far away, and I'm not on a design team, or anything that would qualify me to attend. Someday!
