I’m back from CHA and I have lots of pictures to share with you. Because it isn’t always easy to think up blog post ideas I’m going to milk this experience for all it’s worth and spread the photos out over several days. A girl has to do what a girl has to do!

We had a great time. We drove over on Saturday and spent Sunday and Monday at the show. The weather was perfect and our only regret was that we didn’t get to spend more time outside enjoying it… but we really only thought of that first thing in the morning because once we were inside it was way too exciting for us to be thinking of anything as mundane as blue skies and sunshine. In the evening we were way to busy talking about all the demos and Make & Takes that we saw to really feel like we had been missing out on anything.

Kim and Jennifer are absolutely the best! It was so very nice of them to let us accompany them as part of the Mystic Paper team. What do you think of that photo? I asked the girls to pose for a nice photo and this is what they gave me. They can be such clowns. Speaking of girls…

Here are the girls and I near the end of day two. We were starting to look a little weary, eh? That’s Arlynne, me, Chris and Fifi. If you look real close you can see a photo of Chris’ new grandson hanging around her neck. Chris use to work for one of the exhibitors so she was catching up with lots of old friends and showing that photo to all of them.
