Winter CHA 2009

Attending CHA is two things to me: inspiring and exhausting, but both are great. There was just too much fun to be had. Sit back and enjoy my experience in pictures!

The five editors of Paper Crafts were fortunate to board a plane all together in SLC and then we were off to Anaheim. Good times and even a trip to Disney!

Once at the show we were assailed with a trillion beautiful products. Here are a few of my faves. First off Pebbles, Inc.  Such gorgeous stuff!

And Anna Griffin NEVER disappoints me - behold the fabulousness!

Pink Paislee keeps getting better and better. Thanks for all of the cute stuff, Rebecca Cross!

Now we Paper Crafts girls are kept busy, so here we are doing our thing, PC Style!

GCD Studios is a new favorite. I love the Provence line (in the middle). So lush.

And newcomer Jillibean Soup had me at hello. GREAT layouts and cards in this booth.

And Graphic 45 is just too retro and delish!

And of course a bevy of fun with Hambly (TDF!), Teresa Collins, Delish, Savvy Stamps, Home Essence, BasicGrey, and even Paris Hilton's garish new line.

But probably the best time is seeing so many great people! My CK girls with Amanda Probst and Mandy Douglass, CD Muckosky, Maren Benedict, Celeste Rockwood-Jones, and adorable little Suzy West.

Am I inspired? Definitely. Exhausted? I think I'm rested up now.

Can't wait to do it all over again in Orlando this coming July!
