We are headed to Wicked AGAIN tonight!! Yup... loved it so much, we just had to bring my mom, my sister-in-law and my niece... and of course Sophie and I just HAD to join them.
I actually got to make a page the other night... I started at midnight... a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!
Be happy. Have balance.
WE WENT TO SEE WICKED!!!!!! And LOVED it!!!!
Sophie picked out her outfit at Macy's (I thought she looked so grown up I wanted to cry... but she told me she LOVED it and out of everything she tried on... she JUST HAD TO have it). She also loved that it looked "wickedish" (like the striped socks!!). Then we went to four stores to find shoes... then the BEST part was that the day of the show... I brought home a bag of matching Prima flowers and we made her headband to match. CAN WE SAY PERFECT??? It is going down as one of my most favorite days.
(and because she is my girl... she asked how long the headband would take to make... and then said "oh - you are using zip dry - then it won't take long") LOVE IT!!
And of course... my daughter... Defies Gravity!!
Be happy. Have balance. Defy gravity. :)
4 employees... 1 husband... and HOURS and HOURS...
But Prima is in... and beautiful... and amazing... and inspirational.
And I don't have a picture to do it justice so I will post some pictures taken from their booth.
Be happy. Have balance.
Not only do we LOVE October Afternoon... we LOVED their booth. And decided... oh you guessed it... to have someone take our picture.
So if you think we don't look too "out of the norm" here...
You have to realize... we really looked like this....
And then we took a normal one - because those are nice, too!
These lines are awesome!!
Can't wait for these to come in!
Be happy. Have balance.
I saw something at CHA that I thought was really cool... but I thought maybe it was just me. Then... Julie and Mari thought it was really cool, too.. and the more we looked at it, the more we LOVED it.
I can't wait for these to come in because I plan to get one (or two) for myself and one (or two) for Sophie. Because this is going to be REALLY FUN.
So we got "SMASH"ed at CHA... and can't wait for you to get "SMASH"ed, too!
Here is all the fun stuff for the Smash Book...
Here is where we watched the BEST video...
And here is the video that makes you see why we love it so much...
Sophie (age 8) has already started her Smash Book collection - things she can't wait to put in her book when these books arrive. I absolutely can't wait and we ordered a bunch, but I am telling you they are going to go fast!
And while I am talking about some of my favorite things... let me tell you that the new lines from Girls Paperie are another smashing success. (tee hee)
So I will leave you with some beautiful pictures from Margie's booth:

I promise I am not ignoring you on purpose!! My word for the year is BALANCE. So I am working on it... but sometimes these things fall through the cracks. SO I apologize - and I am ready to continue to tell you about CHA. And for those of you FOLLOWING the blog... I haven't forgotten about you!! We will pick a winner at the end of the week.
Here are a few lines that are in the store already. (If you keep up with Facebook, you may have already seen some of these... but they are so pretty, you'll want to take another look!!)
Teresa Collins is in - and Lisa has made some beautiful samples...
Lisa does such an AMAZING job... come check out these layouts at Scrappy Boutique.
Also in from Teresa Collins is the Notations Kit - and let me tell you - you are going to want to buy this. It is only $19.99 and it is AWESOME!! And... we plan to have a couple samples done - so you know what that means? GET ONE QUICKLY!!
And My Minds Eye is just fantastic... we already re-ordered a bunch of embellishments and they just hit the shelves days ago!!

We also got in Echo Park Springtime and For The Record. More adorable layouts from Mari.
And... one of my FAVORITES... Spring Market from Websters Pages. (and a beautiful layout from Lisa)
We also have some beautiful layouts from Three Bugs in a Rug - the lines are adorable. The only picture I have is the one Mari texted me... which was such a surprise because it was done with pictures of my daughter!! Mari raided my moms photos at one of our crops!!
So those are some beautiful layouts we have at the store from some BEAUTIFUL lines that are on the shelves. And so many more on the way....

Today - Lisa Houpt sent me an e-mail with such exciting news. I have been admiring Lisa's work for a long time... and lately she has been designing for US!! We are so lucky to have her and her layouts, mini's and other projects look so fantastic at the store. Incredibly inspiring. Her first set of layouts she did for us ended up on Teresa Collins blog.
And now... her Webster's Pages layouts have not only landed on the Webster's Pages blog... one of her layouts is part of the blog banner. It looks amazing (but don't take my word for it... check it out!!)
Here are just a few of her amazing projects:
Thank you, Lisa!! You are amazing! And if you want to see these beauties up close and personal... come to Scrappy Boutique and check them out.
Be happy.
