Hi everyone! Just checking in here - sorry to be a stranger the past few days! Last week there were so many blog hops and releases and projects! OH my! It was a fun ride and I totally appreciate each and every kind comment you left on all my blog posts! Bless you! Really some awesome new things right? I love being that busy and creating like that - and of course, sharing!
Tomorrow I leave for Phoenix for a week to attend the awesome CHA - Creativation Show! Yes, they moved it to Arizona this year. That means I"m not driving, which means I have to pack efficiently. Uh Oh. I can't wait to see all the new and exciting products from all of our favorite craft companies. I also cannot wait to hug all my crafty friends. It's like one big reunion every year when we see each other in person instead of on emails and video chats! It's wonderful. I am very blessed to be traveling as part of the Simon Says Stamp team again this year. That means I get to hang out with my colleagues for an entire week. I will be writing blog posts for the Simon Says Stamp blog with photos of the newest items and news from the show floor. Please tune in over there each day to read all about it!
I will be on Instagram and my Facebook page as much as I can sharing with you and updating you on what I'm seeing. I'll write a recap post when I get home. Here is my recap from last year - CLICK HERE.
Other than creating we've been keeping a lot profile here in Sacramento. It's been raining non stop pretty much. We've been nesting and enjoying the cozy fire. This weekend we did get out and go to a Vintage Market and for a drive since the sun came out. Our flowers are already blooming in the front yard - the camellias are always first!
I'm sure I will come home next week feeling tired and inspired! It's the best! Let me know what you are up to! Take care and I'll be reporting from Phoenix!

Here are just a few random photos from the past week to share!
Here is a photo from our drive this weekend. This was taken in Newcastle California! See how green and lush everything is because of the rain!
This was one of my favorite photos I took at the Vintage Market - someone had a little fresh farm stand too!
This beauty was the first camellia to bloom in our front yard this year!
And of course BUDDY! He was freaking out because my husband was outside on the back desk sawing and chopping things! His eyes almost popped out of his head! He really is the most handsome cat!! His tenth birthday is coming up - I can't believe it. We got him when he was a teeny baby kitty.
Buddy is a spitting image of our ginger cat, General Catton!! Our General was a stray who chose us and is the funniest cat ever. His eyes are as expressive as Buddy's!! He even has the same white bib and four white feet.

It is wonderful to see everything green again. Though we could use a little drying out time. Have fun in AZ.

Hi Wanda, I found your blog while I was following Altenew blog hop. Just wanted to let you know that I live in Sacramento as well. I'm just amazed and decided to comment. Have fun at CHA.

Green, what color is that? LOL I'm jealous that you have flowers blooming already. We still have several months to go before flowers will even begin to think about peeping out to say hello. Enjoy CHA - Creativation!! Safe travels and good luck packing. ;)
