CHA + a giveaway

We left Bowling Green this morning at 6:15 and set out on our CHA adventure. Our little caravan made great time and we were here before I knew it....I'm sure that it was the good company and witty banter that made the time fly! We knew in advance that we wanted to be here in time for the Making Memories VIP party at 3:00, so we stayed on a very tight schedule. We made it with about 45 min to spare, so we had time to check into the hotel and freshen up a bit before heading to the Convention Center.

I was really excited when we got here, I could not wait to meet our design team members face to face after communicating with them all these months on the message boards! I got to meet Nicole and Nicole first....it was so cool! I've admired these ladies from afar, and then all of the sudden, here they are....standing in my hotel room....acting like we have been friends forever. I was really nervous, but they were so great that soon we were laughing and cutting up like we see each other every day. Once we completed the introductions, we loaded up and headed to the MM Party. It was so cool to go in and see product that no one else has seen before. Here are a couple of peeks for you......I'm sworn to secrecy about what orders were placed, you'll just have to wait and see later!



Once we were finished over at the MM party, some of us headed over to the Creative Imaginations reception. Greg took Nicole and Nicole to the airport to pick up Davinie and April, Scarlet, Amber, Stephen and I went over to the reception. We were in and out at Creative Imaginations pretty quick because we all wanted to meet back at the Convention Center for the SEI Party at 7:00. We also wanted to stay under the 30 min mark to keep from having to pay for parking again. You wouldn't believe parking....UUUGGGHHH!! Anyway, that is another story for another day, but I can't leave you without at least one little image of the sweetness that we saw....

The SEI party was really cool, they had this big slide show to show off each new line and gave away a ton of prizes. Again, we got to see all of the latest and greatest! One of the owners called this release some of the best product that they have ever showcased. I've got one little niblet here for you.....


One of the great things about attending these events is the great stuff that you are able to bring home and share with your friends.....with that in mind, we have an awesome SEI RAK that we will be giving away tomorrow! Leave us a comment on this blog and we will have a random drawing for some delicious goodies that we can't wait to share with you!

Once we were done with all of our engagements for the evening, we headed over to Giordano's Pizza for a well deserved meal! I love pizza and I have to tell you, this was the best pizza that I have EVER eaten. We had a wonderful meal and I really enjoyed getting to know everyone better and hearing their impressions of the products that we got to see throughout the day. Scarlet surprised all of the DT members with little packages tied up with string....she'll post pics of her creations later. Let me just say that I was touched by her thoughtfulness and astounded by her creativity and talent. Here is a peek of the packages.......


Well, it is after 11:00 and I must sign off and go to bed. I am the last one standing in our room, April, Amber and Scarlet have all had a visit from the Sandman and are off to dreamland. Tomorrow promises to be another fun filled day with lots of activity, so I must get my beauty rest. I'll make sure that we have pictures of our motley crew for you tomorrow instead of just a bunch of silly old scrapbook stuff.......yeah right!

Don't forget to post a comment to the blog to be eligible for that SEI RAK that I mentioned earlier.....I can't wait to hear from you!

Goodnight!
