cha fun people fun time part......whats my name again...???

well i am home now - so sorry for the late post but i came home to a super sickie little pez-a-doodle. she is all stuffy, and coughy and her eyes are watering and just a big mess poor baby!

so day 4 was a total blur. i realized i had left my cell phone somewhere the day before so i did a bit of the re-trace my steps thing but never found it. so hubby just told me he got me another one and it's PURPLE - YUMMO!!!

i will be working on getting the new goodies posted to the store so y'all can order away but keep in mind it is not all in stock so i will try and do a run down:

acetate boxes in stock now except the A2 size - those should be here in a couple days.

flower soft kits - about a week until they arrive but they are already up in the store to order

all things tim/ranger - late march-early april

zva bling - about 2 weeks maybe less

MINI KITS:

in stock right now - bittersweet and sweetie pie - RUN don't walk over and get them before i run out!!! Once it is gone i won't be ordering more!

new kits are coming:

the felties i showed you..... - those will be one of them

also mimosa by SEI

a very sparkly glittered easter collection of goodies

and some new doodlebug mini kits

these kits will be FABULOUS!! as an added bonus i will also be making clay and/or crocheted embellies to include with them to give you lots of new fun unique goodies to play with!

many of you already saw the handmade clay embellies on the Polkadot Pie samples and here are some crocheted ones to give you an idea (totally unfinished - been busy lately):

also i will have some super secret DEElish embellies coming but it could be a couple months on those so i will keep that under wraps for now!

i spent a good bit of my last day running around to some non papercraft booths and playing - i did one stroke painting with donna dewberry - i have been following her for decades i think and always wanted to try that technique. i also played with some different types of clays and checked out some yarn and crochet patterns.



spent alot of time at the clearsnap booth at the request of my studio G rep and jenny really gave me the grand product tour - so thank you to jenny.
on our last night i had set up a dinner with anyone from the cricut board who would be at cha. we met up at bubba gumps:
had a BLAST girls!! it was SO good to meet y'all!!!
and here we are the three muskateers:

by the end of the night we were all so worn out! no wonder cha is only 4 days!!!
well i have a sick lil pezzy on my lap and still loads of work to catch up on!
********this will be the last CHA post you need to comment on to enter the drawing for the new alcohol inks. BUT don't miss tomorrow - a lil somethin extra might just pop up for ya!******
hugs!

  1. Marti, I'm so sorry to hear that Pezzy's sick. What a thing to come home to! Hope she gets better soon. I'm sure your bones and every bit of your body is worn out, but was probably worth it. I'll have to go check out your store with new items as soon as I get more time! Love the crocheted embellies and your one-stroke painted heart. You dabble in a bit of everything it seems. LOL

  14. Hi Marti,

    I absolutely love your crocheted embellishments. They are so wonderful and I cannot believe you include them in the kits. You are something. Wow, you did a great job on your heart, it looks like you are a pro at that already. I'm glad you got home safe. It appears you are not that far from me. I live in Sterling. Thank you so much for the wonderful CHA blog. It was very much appreciated.

  24. Sorry to hear that Pezzy's sick. Everyone around here has it too, including me.

    Your one-stroke daisies are great! I can't paint to save my life, but the one stroke method is pretty easy & I made a cute box in a class once. Of course it helps that we have a great teacher at my J's

  33. How sad to come home to a sick little one. I guess we can look at the bright side...you can just hang out and snuggle w her and get your rest at the same time. I hope she's feeling better soon.
    I love the crocheted embellies and your painting...you go girl! I'd love to be able to do that! Thank you again for sharing your cha fun w the rest of us!
