10:11 PM | Posted by Krissy | | Edit Post

MAN!!!!!!!!! What a whirlwind 2 days we've had! We were SO fortunate to be able to meet up with so many fantastic people on this trip! Bonnie and I had the pleasure of meeting two beautiful Swirlydoos subscribers - Melissa and Bonnie! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But - of course we were so busy chatting that we forgot to take any photos. Bad bad bad party foul! Next year for sure! We also had the pleasure of meeting up with Patti Hamil and co, and Liz Qualman who is an extremely talented sketch artist in the scrapbook world. We really did have a great time scouring the showroom floor and picking out only the most beautiful products for our members! Here are just a few more inspiring photos for you to enjoy. We will be headed home tomorrow to start putting together the SPECTACULAR September kit. "KC" thinks you're going to absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey LOOK! I gave Caroline at ZVA a few ideas a while back and guess what? They made my ideas into reality! Check out these pearl/rhinestones that I suggested! I think we HAVE to have these in a kit - just out of principal! LOL!!!!

And - unfortunately, I must end my first CHA Chicago blog post on a very sad note. This morning while I was attending the show- we lost a very dear and beloved member of our family. Codi has been battling diabetes for over a year now. It has taken a rough toll on her little body. After losing an eye a couple of weeks ago, today she lost her life. I miss you baby doll.
