Karen's front door with all that beautiful GREEN foliage
Her amazing view from her front of house of all that beautiful water
Not so pretty here -- I so do not like snow (I copied this from Karen's photos to show my DH)
Karen's DH was so nice to take us out for a little boat cruise around the lake - amazing houses! Is this gorgeous or what?? {sigh} all that pretty water
and the friends from CHA:
My Dirty Dozen Leader and SCS Super Queen; Lydia
Friends over dinner - (from left - Deb Felts, Debbie, Joy and from right - Karen, Lori, and me.
It was so fun to meet the real persons behind the avatars. I felt I had been friends with all these ladies forever!
This isn't a friend but he sure is famous~ TIM HOLTZ. How cool was that to walk up and he didn't have a crowd around him - [the advantage of being there the last 15minutes of the show!]
Karen, TIM, and me
We never did get to see the entire room of CHA - they shut it down at 4:30pm (we thought it was going till 6:00pm :(. ) Fun stuff is coming -[ from what we saw anyway]. I didn't take photos of stuff except my shopping haul!
We entered CHA about 2:45pm (after shopping over at the Jewerly Show - about 21 stamp vendors in that area) and the FIRST place was running a 50% off sale on EVERYTHING (he didn't want to cart it home) -- can you believe all this fun stuff I got!! Oh I was in heaven. I adore great prices. So, overall, I thoroughly enjoyed CHA and my visit with my friend Karen!!
I didn't forget about my Blog Candy. I had DH pick a number and the lucky winner is..........
#4 Cheri!!!!

First congrats to you for being published and to Cheri, for winning the blog candy! Secondly- it was so much fun having you for a house guest last week, and you're quite the photographer- fab shots of my neck of the woods (or should I say lake). You're right, CHA was a lot of fun and scoring great prices was a super bonus!
So glad you decided to head East!!
