Washing, Packing and a little Panicking…

Jan 20, 2010

Tomor­row I leave bright and early for CHA and I can’t wait to get on that plane as then all the prepa­ra­tions are out of my hands. It will be time to just roll with the flow and accept what comes my way. Oh I hope I can do this grace­fully. So today is filled with wash­ing and pack­ing and pray­ing every­thing fits in my suit­case. I always won­der what the xray guys think when they see my suit­case… hmm what in the world is this thing? I’m sure my “Crop-a-dile” really blows their minds. Then I have my big honkin Fiskar scal­lop and pink­ing scis­sors. Can you imag­ine being the guy xray­ing the suit­cases and hav­ing no clue about all the dif­fer­ent tools in the craft indus­try. I bet they really don’t like CHA too much. I can guar­an­tee you I as well as many oth­ers will arrive in CA with a sweet lit­tle note stat­ing my suit­case has been searched. Sorry guys, just a mid­dle aged paper artist on board.

If you are attend­ing CHA please come by F&W Media’s booth (4228) Mon­day the 25th from 11–12. I will be demo­ing some of the tech­niques in my book as well as giv­ing away a lim­ited num­ber of copies so get there first thing if you would like a copy. Have I men­tioned I can­not wait to see my book? Oh and I will have some of my book projects on dis­play in their booth as well as the Maya Road booth (1969). I always think it is fun to see projects in person.

Remem­ber I will be tweet­ing from the show so if you want to keep up with what is going on dur­ing my week long stay in CA check my blog often for twit­ter updates. You will notice the updates on the right side col­umn thanks to my hubby Alan. He is the techy guy behind all of this. Watch this space… dur­ing CHA my Twit­ter updates will also appear here in the main “post” area. I think it will be a fun way for you to see just how crazy CHA is.

Well my blog­ging friends, I’m look­ing for­ward to stay­ing in touch  this week. I’m cer­tain this will be one CHA I will never forget.
