My favorite part of CHA

Can you believe it took us over 5 hours to set up our booth? According to the show rules, it's only supposed to take 1 hour, but since we are a small company, nobody (but us) cared that it took so long. The hardest part was getting the heavy floor & buffet up to the 3rd level, and carrying it through the entire floor back to our space. I was really nervous after trying for over an hour to get the floor put together and it wasn't working. After a few hours of trying, we gave up and decided to tape it together with duct tape. It actually didn't look too bad and we got several compliments on our flooring.

(The white stripes are the duct tape.)

People enjoyed using our mustache, glasses, & chalkboard photo-props. Hopefully they post the pictures to their face-book accounts & help us get our name out.

Tyler and I were invited to a Cricut party on Saturday night. We had no idea what it would be like, but it turned out to be pretty fun. We made flip-books of ourselves, then we got to watch some of the stars from “So you think you can dance” perform live. It was very entertaining.

You might think the Cricut party was my favorite part of the show, and although I enjoyed it very much, my favorite part of the show had to be when a little old lady came up to me and told me she had something for me. She then dug through her purse. After a minute of digging, she handed me two large handfuls of loose buttons. Since they wouldn't fit in my pockets, and since I had no where to put them, I just stood there for a long time. My hands were filled with buttons, and I tried not to drop them all over the place, as I talked with potential customers. It was pretty awesome.

I also loved seeing some old friends I used to work with at Stampin' Up!

It's nice to be home. Tyler and I missed the kids. Now we just need to figure out how to catch up on all the work we missed while we were gone. If anyone needs a part time job for a week...
