Vintaj has come out with Sizzix dies to emboss on their metal, really cool!!!

Here's one of me, Wendy Vecchi, Tim Holtz & Mario Rossi, love those guys!! This was the last day of the show and I was getting worn out!! My eyes felt like I was looking through two peas and they look it to!! lol The rest of them always take good pics, don't know how they do it!!

Here's a page from one of Wendy's displays...

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.

Have a good one!!

WOW! Had an awesome time at CHA! But Sooooo tired!! I'm sure it will take me a few days to recoup! So fun to see all the new product coming out, talk about product overload! My fav was Ranger booth and Tim Holtz booth. Loved watching Wendy V. & Tim demoing. My all time fav is the pics I got to take with my all time fav people! Here are a few pics. I will post more on Mon. plus a chance to win some blog candy, so stop back Mon.
Have a good one!

I had just decided to go to CHA the other night so have a lot to do! Haircut, manicure, pedicure, shopping etc. etc. Wonder if I can take off 20pds by Mon.? I think not!!! I will be hitting the mall this morning as soon as it opens!! They are going to love me today! Don't know why I feel like I need new things to go but that's the way it is! lol I'm so excited to go and can't wait to do Tim Holtz make & take and watch Wendy Vecchi's demoing they are amazing!
I wanted to do Tim's class but it is on Mon. before I get there, DARN! I did sign up to do a class with Suze Weinberg called the Queen Bee, so that should be fun! Off to the mall! Thanks again everyone!

Have a good one!
