Crazy Little Thing Called Life

home!

Wow...it's so good to be home again!  CHA was amazing, but my bed felt so good! :)
I learned so much, and met so many people... I promise to tell more about it.  For now, it's back in the routine of making sandwiches, helping with homework...and I WILL get to Starbucks today for a hot chocolate (Mom...can you go? I missed you!)

Off to get Ian to school, take a bath!, sort through the mail...I'm so lucky.  I came home to a clean house & the laundry done.  
Super quick...one incredibly successful item (along with all her new lines...people loved them...yay!!!) was this:

Northridge Publishing is doing a Signature Series...and Teresa's book was the first one.  (There are 5 more to follow).  I've heard of sightings at Joann's, Barnes & Noble, and you can always order them online.  She signed a ton of them at the show.  
Seriously...a great book with beautiful projects inside.

I'll be back tomorrow with why I hope to never fly any other airline besides Jet Blue...
Happy Thursday!  (It IS Thursday, isn't it?  I've completely lost track.) 

 

Home tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the last day of the show...what an experience. So much hard work and fun. :) I am SO inspired to go home and create. Looking forward to seeing Iz and the kids. I will return to more normal blogging soon!

CHA day 2

Woohoo! Another busy day in the booth! And that's such a good thing...people are loving Teresa's new lines! :)
again...I didn't leave the booth except for the bathroom and French fries.
It's sunny here...the pictures are from the booth and the pool is the view from the balcony.
Gotta get to bed...

CHA Day 1

Oh my goodness! What a crazy busy day... The booth was hoppin'!
So much fun... I'm so sorry I haven't posted pictures yet...but I left the booth for 15 minutes to get French fries, and that's it! Lol
Here are some pictures of Teresa's booth...it is so pretty! :)

Hello from Anaheim...

It's been a crazy busy couple of days...but the booth is all ready, and it's just so pretty! Today is the first day of the show...I hope to take pictures. :) Off to work!

6 things...

1.  Belle and I want to make this after I get home from CHA:

Zebra cake!
There is a super cool...makes it look easy step by step here. 
**No zebras were harmed in the making of that cake. 

2.  The boys lost a tough one to Squalicum last night.
Good job boys.  
And kudos to our students who showed WAY more class than the Squalicum thugs  student section. :(  So not cool.
Tip:  When your boys are THAT good, you don't need to be jerks. 

3.  Packing today!
Yikes.  I have to be up at 3am tomorrow.  This is a two suitcase trip.  
Here's hoping they don't end up over the weight limit.

4.  One more quick sneak peek:

I am usually a huge October Afternoon fan.  Lately I find myself wishing for more 'vintage' OA.  Not vintage literally....like stuff they did in the beginning.  
I will reserve judgment until I see it in person.  And hope to see it somewhere available online before Christmas time. 

5.  shows I HAVE to stop watching:

All kinds of wrong.  And yet so addicting.
I had to leave before the end last night, and I had Belle text me who made Ultimate Grand Supreme.
 reruns.
Somehow, the winner doesn't change.  ugh.

6.  From Pinterest...

I think I neeeeeed it!

Ok...gotta finish the laundry, buy milk, pack, get my hair done...and a bunch of other random stuff.
Happy Thursday...I probably won't be able to check in until the weekend.  I hope to blog from the show. :)


 

because I knew you'd want one too...

the matching goat jacket for the boots.  
It was on sale for $825...and wouldn't you know, it was sold out. :(
Thanks Kim!  

Another Pinterest find:

Planning to try it on Belle.  Like an imaginary mute button, but more satisfying.

No school today.  Which seems so ridiculous after missing all of last week.
Basketball game at Squalicum tonight.  Go Lions!  
Approximately 159 things on the to-do list today.
Enjoy your Wednesday! :) 

such a good day yesterday...

1.  Lynden beat Sehome last night.

Luke had a good game...all the boys played really well.  Love to see that. :)

Way to go boys!

2.  Met with Alissa.
The snow changed our plans last week.  So we met at Starbucks and did a little shopping.  Found a few "necessary" things for CHA...coughcoughblingbracelet&necklacecoughcough.
She's also loaning me a suitcase.  I needed a black one...so it would match with this:

I have a fairly decent sized suitcase like this, plus the smaller carry on one.  Thank you TJ Maxx.   Somehow I just couldn't pair it with Belle's lavender luggage.

3.  happy mail.
A free drink card from Starbucks, plus a fun surprise.  Love it when that happens.
And no bills!

4.  fun digital stuff...
Like these freebies at O Scraps...

free 4x6 templates (Alissa found these for me when I lost all my others in The Crash.)
and

also some cute stuff at Designer Digitals...not free, but still good. ;)

She's got 7? of these for free on her blog...or you can buy the set of 31 for about $4 buckolas. 

Also at DD...because I like datey things.  

Because I like numbery things too.
I suppose that would be numerical.  Whatever.

5.  got the email that 30 Days of Lists will be on again in March.

Pre-registration opens February 5th.  I'm not sure how much it will be this time....last time it was like $6 or something super-reasonable like that.

6.  Found a hat to go with the goat boots.


Happy Tuesday!
