well ....

So much for updates .. well today is the last day of CHA and I am too tired to even consider shopping ..

THe show was fab ... we had alot of interest in the papers .. now keeping her fingers crossed that they would order and we will have a really really really good show ... hahahaha..

On a personal front, I was able to make contacts which may translate to newer stuff ?? hehehe .. secret for now ..but I AM STOKED abt things happening here ... bwahahaha ..

CHA was rather quiet compared to last year and the show is much much smaller too .. but the products that are coming out this time really impressed me .. I love Tim's stuff .. and also with tattered angels ... I did not have time to go to MAYA road to look at their stuff cause they are always sooooo busy and crowded... did not have the time to go do Lia's M&T too ... sighz .. 7G is looking Fab and I am so in love with a few of Fiskars new punches and stamps too ... Sizzix has some new dies that i know I MUST HAVE when it comes into the store ... bwahahahaha ..

Okay .. faye is out of the shower ... time for me to prepare ... keeping my fingers crossed ...

Saturday, January 24, 2009

It is now 6am ... and ...

I am awake ... Arghhh sooo gonna pay for it later in the day ...

Anyways we will be off to the convention centre at abt 7 so that we can set up our booth and then hopefully to Michaels ..

It is sooo freaking cool that our booth is in a really nice place with 7G behind us, petaloo beside us and AC and Fiskars ard the corner .. and of course our friends from Art Declassified just a little hop skip and jump away ..

I had a class last nite with leandra from Paper artsy last nite and it was a really fun class with her sharing with us all the tips and tricks using the nice nice stuff from Ten Seconds studio and Claudine Hellmuth ...

okay .. gotta go hit the shower already ..

Update later if I have the time ..

TAta

We are here !!!!

okay .. well technically we were here .. earlier . much earlier than now considering the amount of ZZzzzZZ we got last nite ..

It was a good trip out here .. and Alaskan Airlines was Not too bad ..

I am also glad to have made a stopover at portland cause the scenery there was FANTABULOUS!!!!

The trip here was rather funny cause we were basically getting ourselves into trouble everywhere .. like luggage weight issues, Leaving a belt in security check in Portland, going thru security checks and machine breaking down .. blah blah blah ... all in a day's work .. today we are all up and ready to go ...

Breakfast is soon...

preparation for CHA !!!!

okay .. the count down to CHA has officially started ... (well it started for quite some time already except that .. who's counting ??? )


Things that I have to carry there are already placed in my room ... and projects are already done ... the wheels have already started to rumble in prepartion (all I need to do is get my luggages back and I am ready to pack) .. classes have been signed up .. i have decided to not sign up for any cha classes (Tim Holtz, you are too popular, all your classes have already been snapped up once it went on sale), so I am going to the coolest place in LA to have a class with the paper artsy ppl .. well I am going to use tons of ranger stuff from what the class description says so I am quite happy with it..

All my passes have already been printed and kept into my folder .. THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH Shabby for the Badge .. u dunno how much i appreciate it .. and I am wating for the fiskars confirmation to the party and another thing I am looking foraward to is FAYE got me a melting pot in sydney and she will be bringing it there .. FAYE .. i am sooooo looking forward to seeing you ... how very exciting rite ??

So ...

Countdown to CHA Winter is ... abt a week away .. actually in about 7 days I should be frantically throwing things into the MOO MOO COW luggage an hoping I bring everything I should to LA ... but now I am still creating projects for the booth .. Hopefully this year we would have a fantabulous booth (which I know we will... ) and also a great time with the other girls, janis and sherry joining us too .. wooopeedoo...

On the other hand .. spring cleaning for CNY is a pain ... I have actually cleared half my wardrobe and shoe collection but the SB stuff is a kiler .. I do not have time to go thru them now and I most likely will just pack watever is out after i finish my projects into plastic boxes i have ard the house and pray that whoever comes over during CNY does not open my room door .. bwahahahahah .... I have more or less given up on getting everything organised and i vow to CHUCK or RAK everything i dun need out when I get back from CHA ... ...

now back to painting dim sum boxes ... Bleah ...

Word of 2009

yeap since everybody is doing their word of the year .. why not me .. hahah since i am such a copycat ...

So my word of the year is ... DECLUTTER .. yeap ...

need to DECLUTTER my whole life and cut back on taking on too many things

need to Declutter my whole SB stash and work with what I have already and not get every single darn new arrival

Need to declutter my whole wardrobe .. if i have not worn anything for the last 6 months .. i wun be wearing it ever again and it should go to somebody my size .. hahah

Need to Declutter my whole shoe collection ... yeah .. those heels that kill me wearing them .. OUT THEY GO !!!

Need to Declutter my body .. or rather detox and lead a healthier lifestyle .. (this is something already on-going and glad to say it has had some physical changes already .. wooo hoooo )

and seriously need to declutter my personal emotional side ... too much inside of me .. and i have to stop getting involved in other people's emo life too ...

So ... I have the whole year to DECLUTTER and i hope it wun take a year .. hahahaha ..
