I am so happy to be home! The past month has been spent on the road- first with a trip to Las Vegas for the Create and Connect trade show (aka CHA- Craft and Hobby show). It was lots of fun to see my designer buddies and some new friends that I feel like I know but had never met in person.
While I was in Vegas, I was very excited to launch a new line of dies with Sizzix called Cherished. The display was over the top amazing and I loved it.
For more pics, visit the Sizzix blog. Amy of Plucking Daisies was such a blessing- she came and helped me throughout the show with demos, classes and workshops. Read about her CHA experience here.
I flew home on the red eye after the show and left the next day for a family reunion in Vermont. It was beautiful there and spending the time with my siblings and their kids and grandkids was really a treasure and something that we will all remember for a long time.
After our week in Vermont, our kids that live out of state were able to come back to VA with us and visit for another couple of weeks so I finally I feel caught up on everyone’s life! Also managed to squeeze in a trip to the Jersey shore for a weekend with my husband’s side of the family, two birthday celebrations and a trip to WV.
Can I tell you I am exhausted :-)? This week it was hard to get back to work. I still want to be in that hammock! But I’m pepping up slowly but surely… Do you ever feel like that after vacation?
I adore your new dies, the samples and the showcase. You are so talented!
Absolutely LOVE your new ‘cherished’ line of dies, Eileen. Glad you had some vacation time and got to spend time with family. I always tell my hubby, “I need a vacation FROM the vacation…lol!” Have a great week!
