Finally.....some CHA pictures!

After a month away--it is really nice to be home. However, I am NOT enjoying the unpacking, laundry and scramble to get the kids ready for school. Sigh!
So....I am taking a break from all of that to post some of the people pics I have from CHA. (Special thanks to those who emailed me some pictures and to those who pics I "borrowed" from facebook :) )

With Sharon Harnist: she is a wonderful person and hugely talented:
I made sure to grab lunch with two of my awesome friends who live in my computer---Rae Barthel and Kimberly Crawford. Love these girls:

I didn't have my own picture because I was working at the time, so I had to steal this one off Susan Opel's (PaperCrafts Mag) facebook page. She is a sweetheart and has to put up with tons of questions from me all the time:

Maren Benedict and I. I did NOT get enough time to hang with her this CHA so I missed that. She is one of my soul sisters in this craft. We just click. We DID get to work at booths across from each other though....so I could kind of harass her while she did her make n takes:

Another pic with Rae-She is a DOLL! (and so is her mom!) Yep...stole this one off her facebook page! Thanks Rae!:

I spent some time with Lydia Fielder at this CHA! It was really nice to get to know her. She is doing an awesome job in her new position at Splitcoaststampers. What a sweet person:

I was working again when I bumped into Kimmie Reid. Love her and miss the days when we designed together. (Thanks for sending this to me, Kimmie! Hugs!):

Kim (My Favorite Things), me, Cindy Lawrence, and Deb Anton--LOVE these ladies:

Me with Kim (My Favorite Things) and Gina (Gina K Designs)---What can I say? These women are incredible, thoughtful and just amazing in every way. I have worked with both of them for YEARS...and LOVE them dearly.

Kim, me and my roomie-Deb. Had to get in another pic with Deb. We took lots but most of them are sooo goofy! Deb is a dear friend. We were neighbors for a few years until the Army took us separate ways. She has the biggest heart. Love this girl!:

Talk about big hearts--Jessica Deidrich is soo sweet. She is the kind of person who just makes everyone feel comfortable! So glad to see her again:

The MFT gang at dinner: I spent most of my time with this group...setting up, walking around, working shifts, EATING, DRINKING and just having fun. So fun! LOVE em:

Carole Burrage and me---she JUST might be as wacky as I am! I cannot believe we have so many goofy pictures and I don't have one normal one from this trip. Go figure! Love you girl:

I was so excited to meet Belinda Chang Langner. She popped over to the MFT booth when I was working and got this picture (Thanks for sending it to me!!!) She is as sweet as she is talented!

....and there were so many other wonderful talented people I met but don't have pictures of :(

But....it was a BLAST! So glad I got to go.

Hoping to get stamping again soon! LOTS of FUN things on the horizon.....but first...have to get my kids ready for a good school year!

STAY TUNED.... :)

Thanks for stopping by!
