CHA Day Two, Part One!
I stayed with Julie Bergmann while I was at CHA and had an amazing time with her, her hubby and daughter, we had such a party. Every morning was a sunny drive through San Dimas on the way to LA Convention Center!
Notice the Sunny Skies and Palm Trees my East Coast Friends, while I was sunny side up, it was snowy side down in NJ, so I took as many pictures of sun and landscape that I could, lol.
Look at the scenery, I felt like I arrived in a caravan during the gold rush, lol, not to mention like a tourist, lol!Once we arrived at CHA, the fun re-started once again, this time we had an extra guest: Mackenzie, who absolutely rocks!Our first spot, Tri-art/Jack Richardson where Julie was creating demo's at the booth, along with Rheni!Rheni is part of Tri-Art's Product Development Team, she is the artist behind one of the most amazing books called: The New Acrylics by Watson Guptill.In a few hours would be the CPS (Cloth Paper Scissors) Meet up at the Sizzix booth, but before it starts I was on my way to meet up with the one and only Diane Radishant, we met at Ranger U a few years ago and became instant friends. Diane absolutely rocks, and is the one who I always talk about who makes fabulous fudge and brownies, she sent me some at Christmas and brought me some Cayenne Pepper Brownies, which are amazing, I still have a few left, and they are hidden from the rest of the house, lol!
Here we are in the Lunch Promenade! Stay tuned for the next part of CHA Day 2 and the CPS Meet up with Jenn Mason and surprise friends!
