hey bloggers! well we're all unpacked here and had the weekend to catch up. i appreciate all of the kind comments about the cha recap video, always amazing to see it all from that perspective after the show is over...very humbling. so today i wanted to share a few of my favorite pics from the show that mario took - be sure to check out his cha facebook album to see many more (i have to say it's awesome that he is there to capture the moments). we also managed to get our hands on some products from the show and want to share it with you guys, see anything there you want!? just leave a comment on today's blog and we'll pick some random winners and post them here on the blog wednesday. just our way of saying thanks again for sharing in the journey...
since i always try to share something creative with you too, this is something i'm sure you'll enjoy. my friend may flaum is teaching her first online class for 2012 in just a few days (starting feb.9) there is no doubt lots of great ideas and techniques will be shared. check out may flaum's "the curious scrapbooker's field guide" here to sign up, and she's agreed to let me give a couple of spots away too on the blog so i'll be selected 2 winners for that too from the comments. so much fun to share, love it...t!m
wednesday: we arrived in california early afternoon to get set up for an all day teaching event the following day...
thursday: spent 8 hours teaching 100 retailers all about the latest and greatest techniques and products...
friday: insanity kicks in as i try to juggle with set up of ranger, idea-ology, sizzix, and stampers anonymous booths (thank goodness i don't do it all alone!)...
(the stampers anonymous gang)
(the hardest working advantus team: rana, tracey, sarah, and angela - thank YOU!)
saturday: a full 10 hour day of teaching 200 students along with designers claudine hellmuth, dyan reaveley, and jess lincoln...
sunday-wednesday: the show begins and the crowds gather at the make & takes and demos. lots of exciting things to share, and videos to film (great job noell and izzy)...
wednesday: and just like that, it's over and everything gets packed up as another cha comes to an end - thanks again everyone...
Thank you for a fabulous show! Good luck to all who comment!
