CHA Summer 2009

We made it to Orlando late on Monday night and we were knocking down the doors of the convention center early Tuesday morning! Yesterday was the first day of the show and we had fun catching up with friends and checking out all of the latest and greatest from our favorite vendors. My favorite booth is always the Doodlebug booth and they delivered again this show! The whole booth was set up like a little gingerbread house complete with gingerbread cookies cooling on the vintage stovetop! They also had a vintage sewing machine and some of the cutest decor you can imagine...the pictures just don't do it justice! My mom took this picture of me from outside the "house" as I was peering out the window. The window box is filled with cupcakes and other goodies on sticks! I'm always in love with the decor in the booth so imagine my excitement when I found out that Doodlebug is now carrying storage and other accessories! There's an adorable little 9-drawer cabinet that you can customize with your own pictures, patterned paper, fabric pieces, etc. And the scalloped shelves are sweet and cutesy while still being practical. And then they have the most wonderful quality white shadow boxes in two different sizes! I can't wait to show and tell more about all the products we've seen so far! You're going to love the new Smooch colors (yes... 8 new colors!) and I'm soooo excited about the awesome new patterned paper collections! I wish I had more time to chat, but I have to get to the show today! Thanks for stopping by! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

So sad you aren't in So Cal anymore, HOWEVER, that's a very sassy California haircut you have there! I say...best look yet! Looks great on you.

Anyway, looks like you're having fun. Can't wait to see more pics!

That booth looks so adorable. I was able to showcase one of my altered projects in the 7Gypsies booth from a contest. I wish I could see it live. Looks like you're having a great time.
