So we are back from Houston. Well for a couple weeks now. It was so much fun. We traveled all day Thursday to get there. Thank goodness for dramamine. We have 9 pieces of luggage. Yep 9. We didnt get all of our kits together in time to ship so we had to drag it all with us. Yikes. And they were heavy too. That paper weighs a ton!!!

Heres my mom and I with one of our cute TAs for the day. What a sweetheart. I wish I could take her to every convention.

This weekend we will be off to California for CHA. Im getting excited. Tradeshows always get my creative juices boiling. Seeing all that pretty new paper and fun embellishments. It just is something I always look forward to. Not to mention my dear sis is meeting us there. So it doubles as a girls weekend getaway. What more could you ask for?
After Cha is over all my efforts are going towards Creativity in Bloom. If you havnt signed up yet you will want to. Its March 7th and 8th at
DM. We have 5 amazing teachers and 5 amazing projects to inspire anyone. Theres
