I have definitely been awol from this dear blog :( but I have an excuse! I have been away hobnobbing with the stars in Los Angeles! It was definitely a case of do I, don't I go, last week, and finally at the last minute, DH decided I should go, and one packed, almost empty suitcase ( with space for bringing back all those goodies!!) , and a pair of sunglasses later , I was on a plane to Anaheim, to spend time with the stars! LOL I got back Wednesday and today is Friday, jet lag is almost non existent (I am lucky I don't really suffer from it), and it's back to work!
I had such a brilliant time, and met lots of new crafting folk, caught up with old friends, and saw masses of new goodies for you!
I did 9 workshops, all of them fabulous , and all of them different. The Ranger one with Tim Holtz used the new mini distress inks and tool, and we even got to try the new Distress Marker Spritzer! I took classes with Joanne Sharpe learning how to do my own lettering, a fabulous canvas class with Seth Apter, ( some of which I will be teaching next weekend). I also did a class with Candy Rosenberg, using Graphic 45 papers, and Printers Tray! One of my favourite classes was, of course, Graphc 45, and we made a gorgeous Book Box, which will be available as a workshop very soon :)
No CHA would be complete without photos, and my camera skills do need to be honed, but here are the first of my pictures, with more to come in the next couple of days! Here are a few of my favourite people...
Enjoy!

Looks like you REALLY enjoyed your CHA time. No one has shown anything Andy Skinner was up to at the show, his use of your stamps looks wonderful.
Glad you don't suffer jet lag, seems Leonie and Mel were the worse for wear this morning when i caught a glimpse of them on Create and Craft lol.
Thanks for sharing your pics:-) xxx
