CHA 2010

i got to have a girl's day out on saturday! my day started off by picking up amy at the airport. i have never met her til that day but "know" her through blogging. she's sweet as cupcakes!we got right to it and did a make-and-take.
look at all these yummy colors!
this display below reminded me of the fighting beta fish at the pet store that they'd store in cups.
couldn't NOT take a pic of some cute owls!
look at that ginormous cute spool wrapped with some yarn!
look at who i met. cath edvalson and susan opel. they were so friendly & nice.
cupcakes made from ribbons
i loooove this display of balloons put out over by SCS. incidently, i won a tee shirt from a raffle of theirs...........in 2x! they only had VERY large sizes left by the time my name got picked from the bowl. i just missed some copic markers by half a dozen peeps. [if you have to ask what copics are, you don't need to know what they are]cute cardscheck out these 2 guys..... they were in charge of this make-and-take. they were as nice as can be and very funny!
there were a lot more men at this show than i would have guessed.
i got to meet the very talented mou saha. she creates the most amazing LOs. she has a lot of her projects featured in the magazine creating keepsakes. i admire her work.
and i dunno why i am standing with such bad posture in all these pics. maybe it was all the walking around and standing. what is better than a button tree? two of them.....MORE buttonsjust took this pic cause i see an ink color in my namei had a fun time! thanks to amy for my ah-mazing card and goodies from her! will have to take a pic but i know i might not even ever get to it. it was funny as we were looking at each other's stash of goodies, we gave each other the SAME owlie dish towel.
we ended the day with a nice dinner chatting, sharing our "jerry springer" stories and resting our tired legs. thanks amy for a fun day!!

Those ribbon cocktails are the best thing ever. The way things are color organized is very appealing
