CHA Fun Part Two!......and a little announcement

I went to CHA with my friend Linda who is the store manager at Stamp Fever. We spent Saturday and Sunday scouting out new products, placing orders and running into friends we knew from cyberspace. It was exhausting but oh so fun! But the best part was meeting our new best friends from Denmark.
Pia and Sanne are two of the most beautiful and warm people I've ever met. It was like we had known each other for ever (which Pia and Sanne have, they've been friends for many years). We laughed and chatted about everything, enjoyed lunch together on Sunday and did a make and take with Kathy Racoosin (pic in yesterday's post). Then on Sunday night we went back to their hotel to have dinner and chat some more. We met Pia's husband and he is wonderful too!
Here we are hanging out at the downtown Hilton:

I'm hoping that Sanne and Pia will be able to come to CHA next year. It will be in Anaheim so I can play tour guide and show them the Orange County sights. I feel like I have made two life long friends, hugs to you both!

So Monday I was back at the LA Convention Center with Kelly Marie Alvarez and the rest of the Lawn Fawn team. They had the cutest, most clever booth. It was simply perfect. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself.....

 It was like stepping into the Critters in the Burbs stamp set. They hand-stitched the backdrop. You'll notice the tree and other favorite stamps that were blown up to decorate the happy backyard scene.

I love the stamp sets and samples displayed on clotheslines...so brilliant!


Here's a couple more photos of the fabulous stamp images blown up.....

Here's some of the visitors to the Lawn Fawn booth...

Lovely Lisa Spangler...holding the original "lawn fawn", Francois.

Kathy Racoosin stopped by for a visit too!

 Lisa with the Lawn Fawn gang.

The sweet, lovely and oh so hardworking Tiffany Johnson. She stayed busy with Make and Takes.

Everyone was still smiling at the end of the day on Monday. That's Kelly's hubby Mike.

So I managed to get some of the brand new stamp sets and there was one in particular that will be very useful in the coming months.....

It's called Plus One and here's the card I made with it.....

It's for my sweet daughter in law Kellie.....yep, I'm gonna be a grandma!!

~ Psalm 127: 3-5 ~

Children are a heritage from the LORD,
   offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
   are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
   whose quiver is full of them. 

blessings,
