Why is it always hard to get back into the usual routine after a week of having fun!? I’ve been slowly getting back into the swing of things even though it’s been pretty tough. Although it’s been hard, I had the chance to work on some layouts.
TAAFOMFT posted a new challenge. This time you’re asked to scrap about your favorite outfit! I don’t have a particular outfit that means a lot to me, so I scrapped about how I love Audrey Hepburn’s classic look.
For this layout, I used some of the papers from Studio Calico. For the stitching, I played with one of the fun tapes from Kiki Art; doesn’t it look pretty good for not being real?! Seriously, it doesn’t rub off, and it doesn’t tear! You should ask your local scrapbook store to pick some up; it’s seriously worth it.
I also finished a layout I created for my local scrapbook store, Memories Live On, to display. This one was loaded with Jenni Bowlin goodies.
…and I never shared some of the projects I finished for the Kiki Art booth at CHA. I got a chance to play with Kiki Art‘s latest line, Hot AIR Balloon. Isn’t it adorable?! I love the fun and bright colors to this line! The characters are super cute too! 
Last but not least, Hilo wanted to ask everyone a question.
"Mommy thinks I need a haircut. What do you think?!"
Hope the weekend has been treating you well.
H-O-M-E.
Although I had a wonderful time at CHA, it definitely feels great to be back in the comfort of your own home. There’s just something comforting about being in familiar places, wouldn’t you agree!?
Now that I’m home, I thought I’d share more pictures from CHA.
I actually had the time to enjoy the Supershow! Here was a Modge Podge make n' take!
Shrek and Beetlejuice came to visit us at the Kiki Art booth!
Vivian (owner of Memories Live On) and Irene Tan stopped by our booth!
Scooter's Vacation is one of my FAVORITE Imaginisce lines!
I went to visit Amber over at the My Mind's Eye booth!
Isn't this a GREAT picture of Julie?!
All in all, CHA was a lot of fun! It was tiring, but it was a wonderful experience for me. I had a blast meeting and hanging out with some of the sweetest people I have ever met. On top of being genuinely nice people, they are creative maniacs!
…and I’d like to personally thank Kiki for giving me this amazing opportunity! You ROCK! Can’t wait to hang out again soon!

As for me, I’m keeping up with the hustle and bustle of CHA. I’ve been having a lot of fun meeting some amazingly creative and talented people.
I’ll post more pictures very soon! I’ve gotta get back to work!
Hugs,

It feels so weird when I don’t update. Sad, I know… but honestly, my blog has become my outlet. So… where to start?! Well, as most of you know, I’m here at CHA having a blast (but missing Maui and Hilo at home – yes, they are totally like my babies). Let me give you a fairly quick update because it’s getting kind of late.
Here goes…
The first couple of days I was being a busy bee at Kiki Art‘s booth (#3635) setting up. It was definitely some HARD and TIRING work, but I had an amazing time in the process.
The booth at the beginning stages! I'm in the corner, haha!
…and because it’s late, and I seriously have been swamped, here are a couple of pictures to look at:
Kiki made this booth come alive! She envisioned an everyday, happy look for her booth! Check out booth #3635!
The new Winter CHA release, Hot Air Balloon! It's sooooo cute!
…and if you want to see more, make sure to check out Scrapbook Trends Magazine on Facebook! They’ve got more pictures of all of the fabulous stuff going on at our booth! Here’s what they had to say:
This album is a mix of our favorite projects seen at CHA 2010. The manufacturers have amazing design teams that come up with some gorgeous projects that inspire and delight!
Hmmm, what else?!
I met up with my dear friend, Miss Julie! I love this girl to pieces! MUAH!
Julie and I -- we ROCK, don't we?!
…and Sarah Moore from Craft Critique made sure to stop by the booth. She cracks me up!
Chit-chatting at the booth.
…and of course, I had to visit my new friend, Madge, at the Imaginisce booth.
Don't you LOVE her pink hair?!
…and Nikki is such a sweet down-to-earth gal!
Nikki ROCKS! Love her and her paper too, of course! Thank you, Nikki for the paper pack; I can't wait to play with it!
…and she’s one of the best – Nan, our wonderful Zutter Zister leader! Goodness, girl… you are hilarious! Can’t wait to play in the booth on Wednesday!
She's awesome possum! Unless she decides to post THAT video of me at the booth! Don't do it, Nan! I'll come and kick your butt!
…and honestly, there are HUNDREDS of pictures that I’d love to share, but I’m sooooooooo tired. Please continue to check back in because I’m going to update tomorrow!
