CHA - must have dies!

Hi- ok so day one home was not fun. I spent the entire day trying to get the computer to "find" the Internet. Hours later and a few more hours on the phone the storms that came through on Friday night.... (4 inches of rain BTW)
Well it did something to our satellite, so now I have to have a tech out here, hopefully soon.

Ok so let's show off some CHA photos!

Love the butterflies

They had awesome samples in their booth....

Gorgeous!

And I also fell in love with the new Sizzix.....

Love how they displayed the samples.

Have a list of them that are a must to. Seems like there were a lot of vintage feel items this year. Yea!

I'll show much more this week. I just hope that my computer gets fixed soon. I miss working "normally" on it. And I have lots of work this week.

I will try and post each day this week until I run out of things to share. I know you are wanting to see what was there.

Hugs
Michelle

Animal Crackers - They doubled in size!

I am Back! Got in late yesterday and it is pouring down rain so no outside photos. And with all the thunderstorms I really haven't even turned on the computer yet.

So one more post from my phone. I just snapped a couple of photos this morning just so you can see how much the puppies have changed while I was away.



Tuco.... Can you believe how darn cute he has gotten.



Ammo... The copper color has really started coming in. He is going to look a lot like Autie.

One more photo. Hubby sent me this one while I was at CHA.



Look close - this is Cleatus STANDING on his momma Lillies back. He is a little big to be still doing this... But Lillie doesn't seem to mind.

Well time to get my routine back. Laundry and unpacking today. No other housework, my amazing Hubby had the house all sparkling when I arrived home. He is such a keeper :0)

Totally loving this gal. What a ball of energy!

Sneak Peek - Suzi Blu - Spirit Girl

Well CHA is under way! And today it is my turn to share on the Stampavie DT Blog. And I had to share here as well right?

Really stepped out of my normal box here and just went with it and "tried" to do something a bit different. And I had a TOTAL BLAST doing it!

Started off with a canvas, tore pieces of cardstock to create my background. I colored the Spirit Girl with promakers, and then cut her out. The sentiment is also one of Suzi's new stamps called "Fall in Love".  Love these new quotes in her collection. I then cut out some roses and a bird from pattern paper, chipboard words and trimmed the edge with measuring tape twill ribbon.

So how have you stepped outside your crafting box lately? These new Suzi Blu images really help inspire and make it all so easy to have fun!

Hope you enjoyed it ;0) Off to CHA now!
HUGS and-

The show opens in the morning

Well it is just about time, the booth is pretty much done. We were all totally wiped out and really wishing we could blink and be transported back to the hotel rather than having to walk. But if that had happened we would not have run into "him"



Yep Bev, Jing and I got to say hi to Tim Holtz. :0) tomorrow you won't be able to get within ten miles of him with all the people.

Oh and we got to spend most of the afternoon with Stampavies newest artist Suzi Blu! Totally love her! She is just too cute. Here we were taking a sit on a roll of carpet resting a bit.



Not sure what we were doing, she has been calling me Texas so maybe this was our pistols? You get really tired and a bit loopy after a while. LOL

More at some point tomorrow
