Day two at
CHA. I danced like a fool at the
Provo Craft party last night - but that's how I roll for a five-year celebration of the Cricut. Who am I kidding, actually. That's how I roll all the time. I only wish that you had seen me do the running man in a dance circle, because then you might think that my philosophy is to make a fool of yourself in front of people you don't know. My friends, I haven't even shared pictures from the trade show booths yet. I've had too much fun hanging out with people! Here are some more photos of my adventures.
Not-so-early morning with
Mark Montano. Is it sad that we just woke up and are ready to go to bed again? But seriously, you know how much I love Mark.
Heather from
Dollar Store Crafts looking simply smashing in the worst hat ever.
Posing with
Cheryl the Fiskateer as though I can really hula hoop, which I can't. Wish I could. Wish I could do a cartwheel too.
Erica from
P.S. I Made This. She's so cute! Visit her because she's having a giveaway of her favorite craft goodies.
I've got so much photo editing to do that you wouldn't believe it. More photos and stories tomorrow and this week. I want to tell you about everything that's new and what I saw. In the meantime, someone needs to win a starter pack.

I don't think I realized there were so many different types of mod podge! It would be great to try them all out. Also, I love the hat you're wearing at one of the CHA booth - too fun :)

Hi, I am visiting from over at Debbiedoos Newbie Party! I really enjoyed checking out your blog. Just became a follower and look forward to seeing more of your fun life. Stop by and visit if you get a chance. Be happy, Vicky
You look like you're having so much fun! Lucky you :)
What a great way to start using Mod Podge on my crafts.
I'd love a starter kit!

I couldn't do a cartwheel until I was 19, when I was little and all my friends would cartwheel all over the yard I was always so jealous...
Looks like it was fun!
Venus1183@yahoo.com
I can't wait to hear more about CHA!
Looks like you had so much fun...Doesn't look like we could slap that smile off your face if we tried! Thanks for sharing your pics.
Looks like a blast!! PS - wish I could hula hoop and do a cartwheel too.
every morning when I get up, it all I can do not to go right back to bed! lol I do understand.
have a great time and post more pics!!!
Conferences and trade shows are great. They take one totally away from everyday priorities and emergencies and let one's mind just think of the subject at hand.
Obviously creative people like yourself really party. I enjoy them too but the thrill is all in my mind. My mind parties all on its own in my head on the way home on the train. There are new ideas, reminders of old ideas, old ideas reworked.
We all need a conference or a show occasionally to keep in touch with like minded people and reoil our innovative juices.
Party on...
LOVE the photo of you and Erica together - my 2 fav peeps in the entire world
what fun you are having there !
Great pictures! You look like you had a blast! Have a good week!!
Great blog!! Glad you are having fun!! majorbeadlady@aol.com

I would LOVE a starter kit! thecryders(at)gmail(dot)com.
Ohhhh, a starter pack! I would so love to try out all of these, especially the glitter one!
I have been working on an idea that was inspired by one of your posts... I have this huge trunk, locker type trunk w brass hardware. Its not the prettiest thing inside, some sort of blue ink stain... but the outside is mint. My husband & I were talking about using up some of our old vintage road maps (from the 60's-70's) & covering the inside/out w them... then painting the hardware a shade of red.
Love your blog, I look forward to every email notification I receive, but often find myself impatient & clicking over to see any new posts, lol
