The best part of Chatterbox







Every six months the scrapbooking industry has two large tradeshows, Cha Winter and Summer. This past week we went to sunny Los Angeles, California where the life is calling my name. I have always had a great love for southern California and I would love to live there and live that sort of life. Me, Brad, Carrie, Kathy and Mel were all able to attend the show and had a great time spending a week with eachother. I have so many close friends in the industry that I only get to see every six months when a show rolls around.

We stayed at the Anaheim Hilton Hotel! Brad and I were stuck on the 13th floor where the beds were hard and the rooms and furniture looked as if they came from the 60's. Cynthia and Jeanne are two of my very best friends, I truly appreciate their loyalty and support. Good laughs, long days, great food and sleepless nights spent talking. We finally were able to meet our 7Gypsies and Ultra-Pro families. Mindi, Amber, Raj, Paula, Debbie, there are just to many to name. We truly are apart of the best team ever!
