New Year’s Resolution
Well, I made my New Year’s Resolution. Yes, I know that it it February already….. better late than never, right? LOL!
My resolution is to stamp more than once a month for stamp club and to blog more often…. even if its not stamp related, I would like to share more! 🙂
This year has already been a VERY busy year. Just a few weeks ago, we got to attend and be a part of CHA (Craft and Hobby Association). Our Craft Lounge exhibited for the first time and it was so exciting. Kimberly was AMAZING with making the booth look so cute! Being a new exhibitor, we weren’t in the main scrapbooking/stamping section. But, she did a good job of making our booth stick out and look so fun. Here are some pix:
This is what the booth looked like when we got it…. and what most of the booths looked like during the show:
And here is what it looked like after some Kimberly Magic (aren’t my business partners so cute?):
We even had some awesome friends and designers stop by. I am just AMAZED at the friendships I’ve made through stamping!
Kimberly, Diana Gibbs, and me. She was kind enough to help out in the booth to give Cami a little break.
Kimberly, Cindy Lawrence, and me. She also helped out in the booth. Oh my! Cindy, what would we have done without you? This girl helped us tear down and she was one strong, tall, amazing person! THANK YOU!!!!
And here is Cami, me, Jessica Witty, and Daisy. It was great meeting Jessica for the first time.
After a hard day at CHA, it was time to party! 🙂 eP had our 2 year celebration/reception. It was so fun getting together with some of the vendors and designers. Here are some pix:
We love this Fancy Pants Couple. This is Jared and Jodi, owners of Fancy Pants.
The Ranger/Art Gone Wild/ Inky Antics crew. They are just so much fun!!!!!:
The absolutely gorgeous and talented Brook Lien. It was so great meeting and hanging out with her.
And some of my Favorite girls: Bethie, Valerie Stangle, Daisy, Jenn Balcer, Cami, Lisa Zappa, and my adorable sister (Joyce).
I wish I took more photos…… but I’m a dork and barely whipped out the camera.
CHA was a BLAST!!!!!!!! (2 weeks later and I’m still going through withdrawls!)

Very true! Makes a change to see someone spell it out like that. 🙂
I can’t hear anything over the sound of how awesome this article is.
Yours is a clever way of thinking about it.
This is the ideal answer. Everyone should read this
This article achieved exactly what I wanted it to achieve.
That’s a knowing answer to a difficult question
Ho ho, who woulda thunk it, right?
That insight would have saved us a lot of effort early on.
A pleasingly rational answer. Good to hear from you.
Thanks for writing such an easy-to-understand article on this topic.
What’s it take to become a sublime expounder of prose like yourself?
As Charlie Sheen says, this article is “WINNING!”
For the love of God, keep writing these articles.
Keep it coming, writers, this is good stuff.
I think you’ve just captured the answer perfectly
Well I DID see your booth in person, and it was absolutely GORGEOUS! And what a pleasure it was for me to meet you, Cami and Kim! You guys are just the best! {{{HUGS!}}}
Awww Joy….. don’t feel bad about just now making a new year resolution. I’m in the same boat, lol…… trying to get better at blogging too. Problem with me is that I would rather stamp, color, craft than write, lol.
Thought about you girls during CHA and it was great to see your pictures and names mentioned on so many blogs!
Stampin Hugs
