Home Again!

Feeling a bit like I have been run over by a truck, but it feels good to be home again....and back to internet service that works!!! The connection at the hotel was AWFUL (and that seemed to be true at most of the hotels!) so I wasn't able to post as much as I wanted. I also had no luck getting the videos I shot off my flip and on to my laptop. It took most of today to figure out how to get to them and finally did it!! They are now up on YouTube and I have posted them below. Geez, I called both the Graphic 45 booth and Tim's booth by the WRONG name. I only mess up the ones I have samples in I guess....how embarrassing...but in my defense I was BEYOND tired. I had run all over filming 7 videos in a row!

I will also do a video of my projects tomorrow. I hand carried them all back home....the trunk had not traveled well, so bringing it home myself seemed for the best.

CHA was a blast! My favorite part was meeting so many of you!! I had at least 60 or so people recognize me and come up to me to say hello. You all made me feel very special!! (Of course, being home has brought me down to earth with a thud!) I saw lots of great new goodies, ordered product for 8 to 10 projects (yes, the camera and the trunk are among those ordered), and got to meet so many wonderful people. I have new projects, new opportunities, and lots of new ideas in the works....and I can't wait to share it all with you!

Friday night will be a review of the CHA experience, so drop in to chat a while at 7pm Pacific.

    Laura,
    Thank you for posting the videos!!! It's so much fun seeing all the beautiful projects displayed. As one who will probably never qualify to go to CHA, I really appreciate being able to "attend" by seeing the videos.

    Do you know if anyone did a video of your demo? I'd love to see it.

    Now give yourself some time to relax and refresh.

    Laura, I watched your videos on YouTube. They were spectacular-- but I particularly liked the one where Tim waved at us :-D
    Thanks for keeping us so up to date! I hope to be at the chat on Friday night. I don't have to work :-)
