Home sweet home

It was a short but sweet {and productive} trip to California.
We walked the floor for hours.
Saw lots and lots of fabulous new stuff.
Met some new friends and caught up with old ones.
Missed some others.
Did not take enough photos.
{bad scrapbooker, bad!}
Saw some famous people.
No, not them!
Her!
And her!

{whose new line with American Crafts is fabulous by the way!!}

Ran a couple of times in the pretty Cali sun.
{and almost literally ran over Jenni & Jared Bowlin!}
Jumped a fence trying to take a shortcut
to meet some people for dessert.
And trekked through some bushes too.
The cheesecake was worth it.
Did not get enough sleep.
We never do.
But do not regret it.
{even though i might tomorrow when i return to work}
Returned home safe & sound to a husband
who is understanding enough to let me go trouncing
around on my silly scrapbooking adventures.
And that is good stuff.

So tomorrow I will post my single favorite product of the show.
{i saw sooo much stuff that i like & that will be helping to put a dent in the ole wallet as soon as it arrives in stores, but i think i have narrowed it down to my single favorite product of the whole show}
Wanna make a guess as to what it is??
{if anybody gets it right i might have to send them a happy. but not this product of course. no way. i will be hoarding it thank you very much}
Brittney you are not allowed to guess.
Catch you tomorrow!
Going to try to catch up on some sleep.
:)

I am going to guess Girls' Paperie by Margie. It seemed to be everyone's favorite at the show.

I'm going with the Dear Lizzy line from American Crafts. Or maybe that's because it's my favorite. Becca :)
