CHA round up

It is never a bad day when you are confined to a building filled with new pretty paper & stickers and surrounded by others who enjoy that as much as you do.

That is why I love going to CHA.

So I strive to throw out a good scrappy-related idea here & there so that Lucy feels the need to bring me with her even though she is perfectly capable of doing it on her own.

But nobody tell her I admitted that.

I love getting to meet people in real life.

I have lots of scrapbooking "friends" that I have met through message boards, teams, etc.

I like being able to meet them & really talk to them and then remove the quotation marks so that they become real friends.

And I like being about to reconnect with those friends across the country who I cannot just see any time I want!
