cha was a WINNER and we have a WINNER!

CHA was definitely a winner...

The number of vendors was less, but that made for more relaxing days.

There was plenty of time for shopping, asking questions, watching demos, and doing our fab make & takes without being rushed.

I had a blast doing demos and answering questions, meeting friends, helping tim in his classes,giving away FREE stuff, shopping with Suze, going for fun dinners...
and having the much needed mojito!

Ranger's booth was buzzing every day...no surprise there...

Each time I stopped to visit my friends @ the Maya Road booth...it was packed.
Again...this is the norm in their booth.

Stampers Anonymous was always busy too!

According to Ted (Mr Stampers Anonymous) studio 490 stamp sales were great.

And...my book orders were even better than we hoped for.

YIPPEE!
I'm soooooooo happy you liked my stuff!
THANK YOU!!!

We started the Florida adventure on Sunday evening with an AMAZING behind the scenes DISNEY tour...

I knew I was invited for dinner, but I had NO CLUE what else was planned.

THANK YOU CHUCK & MICHELLE!!

Since Chuck is a 20 year employee @ DISNEY...we got a wonderful opportunity to "go behind those red velvet ropes".
I'm sure tim will tell you all about it next week.

I'm not one for scarry rides ...but I was brave & rode the "tower of terror".
HOLY TOLEDO!

Poor Mario is sporting a sore left arm from me grabbing it & holding on for dear life.

Mario said..."wow...you sure are strong!" as he was rubbing his arm to get the circulation back! HA!!

Tim & Mario probably have no ear druns left from me yelling...

AH...but it was worth it!
Thanks guys for including me on this amazing adventure.

I did take my camera...but I didn't even take one photo...
typical me.

BUT...here's some EXCITING photos I think you'll like...

    Congratulations to Paperqueen. You r so lucky. Glad to have you back Wendy. I rode the Tower of Terror once and probably won't ever again. I think I had a delayed reaction to it and hurt my back. Too scarey for me!

    Sounds like you had an awesome trip. The Tower of Terror is my absolute favorite ride.

    So, where and when will we be seeing your book first? I'm so anxious to see (and of course buy) it!

    I already have all 21 of your stamp sets, and I'm having so much fun with them. Thanks so much for all you do, and all of your inspiration.

    Your BFF Terry
