CHA is over and we have 6 months to recover before we do it all over again (it is alot like labor without the baby!)
The booth was beautiful, the compliments were amazing and the TERESA COLLINS DESIGNS forecast is bright (with a side of meatballs!) and oh, how I missed you... blog world! I went for about 5 days without creating or blogging anything while I was in what was the equivalent of the worlds biggest craft store & and I think I started to twitch a little!
THANK you all that came to the booth to say hello, to wait in the LONG LONG LONG LONG Make -n-Take lines and for all of the compliments, hugs, smiles & laughs. One of my very most favorite things about CHA is that no matter what language we speak and whether or not we can understand each other, ultimately, we do because we all have the common thread for the love to create...
For today, I have lots of this, that and the other to catch up on, classes to create, instructions to write, boxes to unpack, laundry to do and a family to love and even though I was only about 15 miles at home and did sleep at home 2 out of the 5 nights, I missed home tooooo much and am glad to be back at my docking station!
I will be back in the swing of things by tomorrow...Thanks again for all of the love and kindness!
It was great seeing you! Sorry I was such a dork (dropping stuff and talking so much). I always love talking to you, you are an inspiration!

I enjoyed seeing you and Teresa while you made the paper roses! You girls are oh so much fun and my friend and I enjoyed learning as much as we could while laughing hysterically inside and a little outside too! I missed your blog, glad you are back, enjoy your family and try to catch up when you can. Thanks Stephanie for your inspiration!

But don't you miss the madness of CHA, just a little? I'm joking, of course! From the sounds associated with the videos, it was crazy LOUD! Have a nice break, and get some well-deserved rest. We missed your creativity while you were away! Did you find any there that you can share?
