I’m back
and I’m sick. Ugh. I was jet-lagged for about 4 days after my return from California, and now it has turned into a major sore throat. Ugh. Ugh Ugh.
However, CHA was a total blast. I had the wonderful privelege of hanging out in the Dream Street booth. What a bunch of great gals! And, of course, I was running back and forth to the Uniform Designs booth, as well. I did have a bit of a chance to walk the floor. While I wasn’t as captivated w/ everything as I was last year, I still scoped some things that I will be purchasing eventually. 
In the mean time, the show seemed to present itself with some wonderful opportunities that I can’t really share. Soon, baby. Soon.
I did get to room with my girl Alexis again, and the Sandra Bullock look-alike, Amy Teets. (and, evidentally, some people think I look like Katie Couric [??], so we were one celebrity-filled room!) OMG, we had SOOOOOO much fun. Thankfully, Alexis and I did get a WEE bit more sleep than we did last year! Really, it was just a great, great getaway.
Oh, and if you took a picture with me (coughKELLYcough) can you send it to me? od529@cox.net. It seems that all of the pics of me were taken with everyone else’s cameras!
So, now, back to reality. On Monday I received my most recent copy of Simple Scrapbooks Magazine. And guess who is on pages 80-82?? ME! They published one of the VERY few mini-albums I’ve ever done, and it is by far my favorite. They also decided to do an online extension, as well. 
Today I received an email from Lisa at Creating Keepsakes to pub another layout, so, yeah, it’s been a very good scrapping week! Well, and there is this other thing, but if I told you I’d have to kill you. OH! Wait, there is more! Memory Makers asked me to contribute to Hillary’s kit club article. I’m not sure where all of these blessings came from, but I’ll take them!
So I guess that’s about it. Gonna go stuff my mouth w/ some Hall’s cough drops and hope for the best.
Toodles!
