IT WAS THE BEST CHA EVER!!!
But it is the truth. I only get to see some people two times a year if I am lucky.
Then there are people that you meet in between those times and you finally get to meet them face to face.
I had a blast.
Did I tell you that I met Carol Duvall!!! Yes, I did I met Carol Duvall!!!
I made a blithering fool of myself. But you have to understand, I grew up on PBS. We had Julia Child, The Galloping Gourmet and The Carol Duvall Show.
Then I was asked to do an infomercial for the Slice. They had a make-up artist. I have not had a make up artist since I was married. She walks away to get something, I open my eyes and there in front of me is Terri O.
You could have blown me over with a feather. Terri O. is the face of CHA. She has a regular show in the Phoenix Area. She is the face of CHA.
Yes, I am still easily star struck. I have only been here crafting for four years, so it just amazes me when people that I see on TV are walking down the aisles at CHA.
Can you tell that I am still giddy?
So I had a blast doing the infomercial. I have to be honest and say that I never held a slice until that moment. The first thing that went through my mind was what if I don't like it. They told me that they wanted me to tell the truth. Oh my!! Didn't someone give them the rule book about me.
I decided to play it safe and at least go over and see what I was getting into.
====Begin Infomercial====
Can I say that for what it is suppose to do, it does it well.
After I sat with it I realized that it was perfect for my kids. The blade is not exposed, they have to interact with the machine from beginning to end. They get instant results. Oh and I do love not having to deal with the awkward cards that you need to insert.
Now if you want multiple copies for a class, then this is not for you. But for the general crafter and a personal cutting device that is kid friendly and easy to use, I like it.
====End Infomercial=====
Oh my and then I read my blog with some of the funniest women crafters that I know. Crafty Chica, Margot Potter, Sarah Hodson and Sarah Moore all read blog entries.
Yes, I read the day that I split my pants in the gym and the one where I am all out of sorts.
It was fun we laughed. I had so much fun at the Supershow. It was a bit overwhelming with all of the people and the kids. It made me miss home and my kids.
So I did not stay very long after. I drove back home and realized how blessed I am to have so many wonderful, crafty women in my life.
I could have never planned this life for myself. I am loving it. I have found that when you do what you love you love to do it all the time.
So now off to clean my house that has gone unattending for a week. I only have about three loads of laundry and a sanp the whip on the kids to get their rooms cleaned.
School starts in less than a week. Chi-Chi is riding the bus to first grade. Oh my they grow up so quickly.
Where did the summer go? It was just a few days ago, they had just gotten out of school.
until we meet again,
