Hi Everyone! Whew, I'm so exhausted and happy and overwhelmed all at the same time tonight. Day one of the giant CHA convention was amazing! I'm trying out the whole blogging from my iPhone thing tonight. Let me know how it goes.
I met Taylor, Jami, Melody, and Regina from the Baker's Dozen team and everyone is so great. We had the best time walking the show today. I saw lots of friends and lots of bloggers I admire. Truly a crafty girl heaven.
Last night we had dinner in Newport Beach right on the water.
Then this morning we were off to the show!
Woohoooooo!
Here are pix of some of my favorite things from the day. First up, the Pebbles booth.
Crate Paper is always great!
Awesome new polka dots from Doodlebug.
Twelve new colors of Memento ink!
