I wish you were here, too! Chicago is:
-Muggy
-Busy
-Crazy-fun!
We're catching up with old friends (Stephanie and Heidi Grace -- yes, THAT Heidi Grace!)
We're enjoying cupcakes (from Chatterbox)
We're getting read for make 'n' takes and celebrating our new special issue!
And of course, we're seeing lots of fun new products... more on those tomorrow!
This morning we had a terrific breakfast with Shutterfly, and we got a preview of their new products and services... expect some coolio things from them soon!
Dinner tonight was with Fiskars -- ditto that, ladies - SUPER fun stuff. Real Chicago pizza, good company, and giveaways (which I will share with you of course... stay tuned).
How are you doing?
Thanks for the post, Lain! I've been following the CHA news all day. I love your photos and can't wait to hear more on the podcast!

1. Tell Heidi Grace that I love her rubons.
2. Where's your fabulous annual picture of the light fixture in the ballroom? Gosh, Lain, you're such a slacker! :)
3. Once again, I SOOO wish I were there. I love scrapbooking goodies (especially new ones!) and I really love Chicago. Pizza. Yum.
Can't wait to hear more!

Looks like you are all having a blast! So good to see a couple of familiar faces! Tell them all I said hi! I wish I could be there too =)

I so totally wish I was there! I am having trade show withdrawal. You have to at least send me pics of all the must-haves...like glittery skulls and such.

I really wish I could be with you. Esp., that due to circumstances I can not disclose right now, I will most likely (actually, it is pretty certain, but I refuse to give up hope completely yet) NOT be able to come to Anaheim in January! Bummer!
Have fun at CHA. Did they open up a Starbucks for you since last year?

Things are well here unless you count the fact that I am absolutely, positively, most definitely, without a doubt, ENVIOUS of you being at CHA!! Sounds like you're having a grand time...wish I were there...*sigh*

Looks like you are having a ball! So what kind of promotion did you decide to do for the book?! And, when are you coming to DC?!

Thanks for the pics! Glad you gals are having a wonderful time and cannot wait to get all the news on your blogs when you return!

I know you are having fun, but deep down inside there's a part of you that's lonely and lost without your "assistant".
