final memories..cha

one of the main reasons i attend cha is to get face time with friends, manufacturers, and colleagues in the industry. it's sometimes the only time we get to communicate face to face. cha anaheim in 2008 was no exception. the best part of my trip was connecting with simple gals like melanie louette and linda barber; meeting tina cockburn and the staff of simple scrapbooks magazine. we had so much fun - scouring the booths, eating lunch, telling stories and laughing together. the people associated with simple scrapbooks made the magazine special - their passion and creativity blossomed into this fabulous creation. the people are what i'm going to miss most. hopefully, this new adventure we are embarking on will keep some of us in touch. stay tuned!
