Another Crazy Day from CHA

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe how fast time has flown.  We only have one full day left.  I'm getting a bit panicked that we aren't going to finish.  We have ordered so many good things.   Lots of stamps, amazing paper, cool embellies.... 

We started our day at the Doodlebug booth where they set up a photo booth.  We had so much fun trying to get all four and a half of us in the booth for photos.  I'll scan the end results when we get home. Hilarious.

After the scene at Doodlebug, we tried to be low key today and not stand out in the crowd.

Flat Lisa was too embarassed by us and found new friends.

Then, her new friends tried to lock her up when she made fun of their dated outfits.

After rescuing Flat Lisa, we visited with Jerri from Bo Bunny.

The Lisa's will have drinks with anyone.

Lisa will do anything for a good deal for the store.

Lisa Hetrick showed us around the Unity booth.

Lisa passed out from the cutness of the Jilly Bean lines.  I can't imagine how she will react when we receive the lines at the store.

CHA Day 4 - I think... It's starting to blur

Hi Everyone,

Things have been moving fast out here.  We have placed well over 20 orders with all sorts of companies.  Today, we placed a Darcie's, My Cute Stamps, We R Memory Keepers, Websters Pages, ANW Creswood,  Imaginisce and BasicGrey.

Where to start...

We R Memory Keepers is always one of our favorite companies.  The tools are FABulous!  New larger Sew Easy patterns, New colors of threads including bakers twine, new album colors and an amazing new border punch system.

Doodlebug turned 10 and I think the store has been in business 10 years too!  Their booth was so fun that Lisa Halstead wanted to move into it.  They had a photo booth and we had some hilarious phootos of our group.  I'll scan some of those when I get back home.

Flat Lisa loved these flowers.

Jennifer McGuire couldn't wait to see Flat Lisa.

Lisa Halstead had not met Jennifer before.

Lisa Halstead enjoyed talking to Claudine Helmuth from Ranger.  She is a mixed media artist who has a paint line with Ranger that is so fun to play with.

Day 1 At CHA - Tim Holtz Day

Hi Everyone,

We made it to California before the snow hit, thank goodness.  I'll try not to be too happy about the weather out here and the fact that we are wearing sandals instead of snow boots. 

If you want to see what we are doing out here all day long, follow me on Twitter (@photoscraps ) or check out the twitter updates here on the right side of our blog. 

Today, Lisa Hetrick and I spent eight hours with Tim Holtz. 
Photobucket

We got a huge bag of demo products to bring back to the store to play with.

We got to play with one of Tim's brand new stamp sets.  Divine!  We will be ordering this set.  Get your name in the special order book now.

Off to LA...

Hi Everyone,

I left early Tuesday morning for LA and the Lisa's will be getting in tonight.  Ok, I don't want to sound like I'm rubbing this in but the weather is perfect.  mid 70's.  Love it.  Don't love the smog.  I remember that smell from when I lived in San Diego and would drive to LA.  The traveling today made Flat Lisa very tired but I'm sure she will be getting in lots of trouble tomorrow.

Here is the iconic LAX control tower.

I'll be spending my Day on Wednesday with Tim Holtz.  He was at the airport and drawing a crowd.
