2010 Summer CHA

Published by at 10:11 am under Uncategorized

I cannot believe that it has already been a week since CHA.  Where does the time go?  I just wanted to share a little bit about our adventure! 🙂

Anthoni (my nephew and also one of the shippers for OCL) and I took the redeye on Sunday night to make sure that we were able to get to Chicago nice and early for set up. We were ready to sleep on the plane.

After a short nap on the plane, the set up began….

I am so grateful for the love and support of so many people.  I sure wish this pic wasn’t so blurry.  I *heart* these people!

What would I do without these girls?

My dear friends Tim and Mario came by to say hi on Tim’s lunch break.

And we have a tradition of ending the show with Jared from Fancy Pants.  Even though I’m not with eclectic Paperie anymore, I wanted to keep this tradition alive! 🙂

And of course, there was plenty of fun and hanging out with dear friend.  Here is a pic of some of the OCL Designers that were at CHA.  What a fun fun dinner!  I miss these girls already.

It was great to see Beate again.  I do not get to see her often enough.
