cha show details
Me n Celine. She is just the cutest little thing! I love how happy she is :) and guess what?????? Did you know that Celine has her own magazine now? The first issue will be out very soon and I am just soooooooo happy for her. She really does deserve all of her dreams to come true and I'm so excited to see it! She brought me issue #0 at CHA which I will post soon. It's basically the issue that debuts before the first issue of a magazine :) how exciting!! There are so many amazing people on her team for the mag...Breanne Crawford, Amber Ulmer, Corinne Delis just to name a few...and I keep thinking WHAT the heck does she need me on there for with all those girls! hah. Good stuff though...I'm super anxious to take part in it! sooooo moving on...
Cha was totally awesome! It wasn't my first time there...but it was my first time working in a booth...and people, it's no joke! lol. Completely exhausting. In fact, I lost 2.8 pounds (still doing weight watchers), and I ate ribs, and hamburgers, and dessert...lets just say Adrienne was FAR from deprived on the food side...so to lose weight even after stuffing my face with lard...just goes to show how much work is put into everything ;)
Have you ever wondered how CHA lets the manufacturers know that they are opening the doors to the retailers? LOLLLL. A very "subtle" way haha. Here ya go:
Setting up:
Thats Tami all the way on the left. She's my boss :) and she's gotta be the cutest thing ever. I'm serious....she doesn't even try. yes...I actually like my boss hahha ;) we have fun. 
Thats Carla. She's a doll. She's also a weight watchers leader so needless to say...she kinda kept me in check at dinner hahahha. no but really she's a really down to earth gal, very light hearted. 
Thats Denny. He's the international sales rep at the office. He also is the man behind the scenes of directing the setup at the booth. Him and Donny are the greatest...another set of light hearted people. 
My pictures are SUPER bad. Everything was so fast paced that it could be very easy to forget to take pictures in the first place...so whenever I remembered that I had a camera in my pocket I would quickly grab it out and shoot--then get right back to work ;)
more:
We stayed up late late late making samples with the new product. The room was a disaster. I'm talking....serious disaster lol.
top row: me, sharon. bottom row: Cari, kimberly, tami's friend (didn't catch her name), Josie, Tina, Liz, Pom, Josie's mom (ack I'm bad with names lol).
And this one has Tami in the middle :D
TGIF fridays was ummmm. an interesting dinner. We started our feast with Denny cutting his finger on his mug (don't even get me started on that--the poor guy). We got him a bandaid, and me and Tina's order was all screwed up. We started eating when everyone else was finished LOL. We told the waiter that we had two birthdays...but of course it was nobody's bday LOL...we just wanted to surprise someone with a cupcake hehe--how evil of us! hahah. Then we got 5 free desserts cuz of all the mishaps :D 
Cari, Carla, and me
Getting things packed up after the show 
Donny and Denny on our way home. 
We were nervous wrecks waiting for the plane to take off. We totally thought we were going to die. I mean...just LOOK at the photo. Believe me...you don't want to see rain outside right before you fly. And Roy (who works with us at the office) hadn't flown for like 5 years or something so we kept joking around telling him all kinds of crazy things to expect when a plane fly's on a rainy day lol. Donny kept smiling...but more of the "nervous smile" which was pretty funny. 
Actually, I have a little clip :) 
So thats about it with the CHA pics...wish I could have shared more...but my mind was so swamped with other things that I'd totally forget I had a camera ;)
Here are some scrapbooking things I did right before the show that I didn't get a chance to post:
and this little guy is a new owl buddy that I bought from Stela birds on Etsy. I have two more on the way...they are SO cute!
and I have more to share and show...I'll save for the next post :)
hugs, Adrienne
