I'm back from CHA!

Well...I survived the flight thanks to my handy dandy xanax....I will never leave home without it! What an absolute whirlwind as usual. As much fun as CHA is...it's alot of work. You are busy from the moment you get there till the moment you leave...not to mention that I got sick while I was there...nothing like being sick when your 3000 miles from home... :-(

Here are a few pictures from the plane ride...I don't know if you can really tell...but in the background there are snow covered mountains above the clouds as we were coming into California...it looked really cool from the plane.

This was just one of those silly shots after a lonnnnggg flight....And the fact that I was still calm at this point was a MAJOR plus!

Welcome to CHA...home of walking 4,000+ miles in 4 days! LOL

I love CHA...I love seeing people that I talk to on the internet regularly in person. It's so nice to really see people who you spend so much time talking to online. I enjoyed talking with everyone!

And not to mention the designers...it's great to see these people in person and see how real they are....and how wonderfully nice and down to earth they are!

The products! Wow....alot of new awesome goodness coming out this time! Some companies just simply ROCKED this year. A few of my fav's included....

Basic Grey (nothing unusual about that...I {heart} Basic Grey)
Crate Paper

Little Yellow Bicycle

Pink Paislee

October Afternoon (even though they didn't make it to the show)

Tim Holtz Ideaology (very cool stuff from his new line!)

Maya Road

Bo-Bunny

Those are just to name a few. What I love most about the show is that you get to see all the fantastic samples that they do with their products! They are just amazing...I love getting new ideas and getting some inspiration directly from the companies....

I will post more pics from the show in the next day or so...Still not feeling so well and am going to get some hot tea and make my way to bed...Good Nite.
