CHA Winter 2011

Hey Everyone,
Sure feels good to finally be home from CA, but I'm really missing the warm weather!! We have about -13 degrees here with a high expected today of -1, whoopee!! Me & the snowblower have a date later today, high winds yesterday blew in the driveway & sidewalk again!! YUK!!

Where to begin with CHA...it was amazing!! So much excitement and so much to see!! Loved it!! My days started at 5:00am and didn't end until midnight or later. My boss signed me up for lot's of classes, most of them starting at 7:00am and last one's went until 9:00pm. I took so many classes I'm not sure what I learned where and hoping I can remember some of it!! lol
Long days, lot's of walking and sore, sore feet & legs!! But so worth it!!

My first day Fri. I took a copic certification class with Jennie Black, great class & she is a fantastic teacher!! I didn't get a chance to hang out around the Ranger & Tim's Ideaology booths as much as I would have liked but managed to get a few pics. Tim's Ideaology booth was awesome!! Totally love Tim's & Wendy's new releases and after seeing in person, I want it all!!
So here are some pics from the show, I have more so will have to do another post this week.

  3. Shows are so exhausting. BTW if you could have had soar feet you would have been zooming around easily with no pain. I think you had sore feet.

  5. Hello Donna,

    what a lucky woman you were : a boss that sends you to take so many workshops !!

    Can you show some of the projects you made there ?
    I can imagine you are sometimes overwhelmed by everything you see, but I hope the photos are a help to keep everything reminded !

    greetings from belgium
