CHA opens today! We’re getting ready to head over to the convention center and so I thought I would just post a quick word. I’m a bit nervous about today, but I think it will be good. I cannot wait to get out on the floor and look at all the great stuff! It’s been fun watching the exhibits come together over the few days we’ve been here.
Yesterday we went to the champagne brunch at the Bellagio. All I can say is "holy food batman!" I’ve never seen so much of so many different kinds of food in one place. But the coolest part was the entry way with all these hand-blown glass flowers on the ceiling. It’s not the best picture, but you get the idea. Hopefully I’ll be able to take some pics today at the show (depending on the exhibitors) and post some CHA pics tonight!
I’m here in Vegas for CHA and having a blast! We had dinner at Ceasar’s Palace tonight, played poker at the Paris last night and will be having brunch at the Bellagio tomorrow morning! The show starts on Monday and we’re almost done setting up the booth. I’ve loved meeting Becky and Nicki and it’s been great to see Kim L. again
I’ll post some pictures tomorrow and hopefully more throughout the week! I’m already tired. I can’t imagine how tired I’m going to be at the end of all this…
yes, this baby is smoking, and no babies in general should not smoke. But this is a ceramic baby statue that smokes unscented incense. Please note: the baby is turned away to protect the “innocent”

(note: the infection part are my sinuses. I am ill, as is my son, so I’ve been out of comission for a few days but that’s no excuse for letting my blog go for so long!!!)
I’m not sure if I mentioned it before, and if not, shame on me. I’m going to CHA with Kim Luty and her company Same-Differences! Holy cow am I excited. First of all, I’m going to get to hang out with Kim again! We had such fun when I met her at the expo in Nashville over the summer. Second, I get to go to Vegas! I’ve never been and I’m so excited about it! Third, I get to meet Becky Thompson! So excited for her and her classes at Big Picture Scrapbooking. ***Edited to add: How could I leave out Heather? I’m going to try to have lunch or something with her one day when I’m in Vegas too and give her all the Nashville gossip!***
Evan has been sick since the middle of last week. He’s on the mend, but I’ve got a sinus infection now. I’m about to start sipping on his anti-biotics that we didn’t have to give him.
I’ve also got to get going with a full house cleaning! Jennifer, Jessica, Kyle and Riley are invading my house on Thursday night. They’re doing to drive all day from Michigan to spend the weekend at our house. We’ll head up to see the grandparents and hopefully try to have a birthday party in there somewhere for Pop and for Evan.
So in honor of my first blog post of the new year, here’s a picture of my cutie patootie Evan:
