Cute purse update...

Remember the purse I talked about last week, well Tiffany is giving away a purse on her blog. Go there and leave a comment (but mention you came from my blog). She really has some adorable purses and she is just the sweetest person, and she is very good with letting you know how your order is coming. I will definitely be ordering again, I am waiting for my glam bag and can't wait to get my hands on it.

Home...

CHA was fun, we have new product ordered, I talked with Teresa Collins for just a quick minute (she is such a down to earth sweet person), Heidi Swapp demonstrated her new invisible line and I cannot wait to get it into the store and then into my scrap supplies. You can go to her blog and see a video demo. Another favorite is Glitz Designs, they have some of the cutest stuff and love their doodle rollers. We ordered a new company (new to us) Daisy Bucket-and I am totally in love with this line. Just wait to you see what you can do with their giant chipboard pieces. Fabulous stuff. Pink Paislee had four gorgeous new lines that we ordered. Lovin their stuff. We also kept running into Tim Holtz around the show, he is a busy guy promoting his stuff with three different companies. I almost forgot Donna Downeys stuff with Prima, very very yummy. Can't wait to get my hands on this one either. You can take a peek on her blog. We ordered more but I have not unpacked my stuff yet so when I do that I will update more. The ones I talked about were probably my favs. I was really bad and didn't pull out my camera one time. Stephanie did take pictures so I will try and get those from her and post some later.
Edited: Stephanie has some great pics on her blog, but I did swipe these two.

cha bound...

Tomorrow morning at around 4:30am (ugh) I will be leaving my house to pick Stephanie up. We are leaving Florida at 8:30 am and heading out to California for the CHA show (with a little detour in Vegas). I am starting to get really excited about the new product and seeing friends in the industry that I don't get to see very often. First stop once we get settled in will be Bubba Gump's. I figure after all the traveling we will be ready for some good food and a little relaxation. I don't know if I told Steph, but the Cheese Cake Factory is right next door to Bubba Gumps so we won't have to look to far for a really yummy dessert. Then first thing Sunday morning the show opens and we will be heading straight to Teresa Collins booth for her lovely make and take and to place our order. Then we will have to go see the Advantus booth and do the Tim Holtz' make and take and see Heidi's new stuff in person. We have already pre-ordered their stuff so we don't have to worry with that. Then we will walk the entire show and see what other scrappy goodness we can find:) I am sure we won't have any problems in that arena!!!

A Quick Share...

I want to share this purse/tote I did at a crop a little while back. I used Karen Russell's Narative line, some prima bling and a little bit of Heidi Swapp product. I love the way it turned out. I hope you enjoy. Sorry the pictures aren't that great.

the instinct...

Oh how I love my new phone. I am still discovering the many things it does and having so much fun. I highly recommend this little treasure if any of you have sprint and are eligible for an upgrade. It is strange how a new little gadget can make me so happy. And it's PINK!!!!

So cute...

Look what I found surfing around the internet. I was visiting Sherelle's blog and found this little beauty. If you would like to go and see what other cute purses Tiffany makes you can visit her blog here. I will also be putting a link on the sidebar under shopping as well . This purse is so yummy I can barely stand it. Just had to share.

Retreat and CHA...

Thank you to all the girls who attended the scrapbook retreat this weekend. I would love to share some pictures, but I did not take the time to snap one picture. Sad. So if anyone took some I hope you will share with me;).
Now I am charging up for CHA. I have to say I am really excited about what I have seen so far for sneak peeks. Heidi Swapp of course has outdone herself again. She has a VERY innovative something something coming out. I cannot wait to see this in person, and I will share as soon as I can. Maybe get some sneak peek pictures up tomorrow. I also love the line Teresa Collins is sneaking peeking on her blog. I love the colors and the sentiments. And have you been to Tim Holtz' blog??? Take a look over there at his AMAZING new stamps. He also has some really yummy stuff coming out from Advantus. And I am really looking forward to seeing what Ali Edwards and Technique Tuesday come out with. I also like what I am seeing from Prima. The internet and my in box are full of CHA goodness right now and I am loving it.

to my mom...

Happy Birthday Mom!!! I know you don't check in everyday but when you do I want you to know I love you and I hope you have a wonderful birthday and year. I wish I could have been with you today and helped you celebrate, but we will get to see you soon:)

two posts-one day...

I have been busy busy. Over the weekend I repainted my kitchen cabinets, I have to say I love how they turned out. I tried to take a picture but I will have to wait for more light. That led to the start of spring cleaning. I checked so many things of my list I feel like the new year has started with a bang. Some other things I will be doing (after the retreat and CHA) are organizing the linen closet and reorganizing my scraproom. I will try and post pictures as I go and let you know if I find any clever organizational things that must be shared. Other then that, a new work week started today and I am on the countdown for the weekend to check more off that list.

2009...

I am feeling the possibilities!!! I am grateful for a fresh year that I am sure will bring many surprises.
