Hiya sistahs

I am sitting here in my family room.. watching a cartoon cuz I am too lazy to get up and change the channel and my kidlets are in bed.. how pathetic is THAT?

Well, I promised I would share some stories and some pictures so here goes.. it may be a little longwinded (I know, hard to believe)

So first of all, it took us a whole day to get to california.. we took 3 planes.. Toronto to Chicago, Chicago to Denver, and Denver to Santa Ana.. it was a LOOOONG day sistahs but we were so excited to see goodies and people that we haven’t seen in a long time that it was well worth it!

A couple of things we saw along the way the store below was in the Denver airport

 

Nicky and I travelled first class and let me TELL you that it was a gift… the seats are NICE AND WIDE.. Nicky and I played the WILL THE SEATBELT FIT AROUND US game…LOL.. and they always did! LOL (Phew!).. if you read my CHA post last year, we discussed the red carpet for first class.  It is an amazing thing really.. you feel like ROYALTY.. see below..

We finally arrived at the hotel and were COMPLETELY wiped. It was draining and all we wanted to do was go to sleep so that we can be fresh for the show.   We had a very nice suite with 2 rooms and 2 baFrooms and we were ready to call it a night.  I run to her and ask her if she is able to find her blinds?!  We only had sheer curtains and I was getting increasingly angry that we would have to sleep without a blind and the sun would shine in our eyes in the a.m.  SO I decided to be CRAFTY and attached my curtains with a bella pin ( a bit upside down)

 

Nicky says that she too can’t find her blinds.. so I am just ready to scream.. I call the main desk, start packing my clothes to move, they send the maintenance man to our room, he walks to the windows and casually pullllls the blinds across the window and make the room nice and dark.. I say.. did you just put those curtains in??? he looked at me like I was some KOOK and said no ma’am.. they were always there.   Well I was sure we would stump him when he got to Nicky’s room but sure enough, he pulls the curtains to reveal a blind.  It was RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!! we were VERY humiliated..LOL

The next day was the show and a great time was had by all.. we bought LOTS of goodies.. you know me.. I won’t reveal until it starts trickling in and once it does… WATCH OUT! we got beautiful papers and other goodies.. so stay tuned and please tell your scrappy friends too that I will have the newest and the BESTEST stuff.

Here are some pics from the show

the above picture has Nicky, Me, Keri Lee Sereika, Anna Wight and the owner of Whipper Snapper designs.. am I LUCKY or WHAT?

 

 

We spent lots of time with Kim from My Favorite Things and Alma from the cat’s Pajamas.. LOVE YOU SISTAHS!

That’s pretty much it in terms of pictures.. on our way back to Toronto, and in the John Wayne airport, I decided that morning to wear EVERYTHING THAT HAD dangles, metal, rhinestones, skulls.. all in one outfit.  Sure enough, the second I went through security, I set off a KAJILLION alarms.  I was thinking to myself.. why didn’t i wear my sweats? of ALL days!!!  So they keep on making me walk in and out and in and out and finally they took me aside to a type of “holding” cell where they had to frisk me.. all of a sudden I am in a compromising position and see ANGELA from unity stamp co.  she says HI EM and i wanna crawl under a rock with hands midair and legs spread apart..LOL

All in all a phenom time was had.. although I must say I am happy to be home and was even happier when I walked into Bellaland yesterday 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who will come and visit
