Ok, every time I see the abbreviation CHA (Craft & Hobby Association), I hear it in my head as “chaw” for some reason. I think of doing the Cha Cha! I’ve always felt a teeny bit jealous really happy for people who’ve gotten to attend CHA in the past. I’ve always thought I would never be able to pull it off to attend CHA myself, but what do you know? I’m going this year!
I’m still having a fair amount of anxiety about:
- leaving my kids (haven’t left them this long since 2003
- flying on a plane by myself – I can’t even discuss all the anxiety I’m feeling about this.
- meeting lots of new people
But I’m super excited about:
- getting to hang out with Steph (we are even sharing a room)
- finally meeting Peppermint in real life! When I told her I wasn’t sure I could do it, she told me to take a “fistful of valium and get my **** on a plane!” How could I refuse? lol!
- meeting lots of new people
- recording a digi show live with Steph & Peppermint. That will be so much fun!
- going to California in January. Duh! That’s awesome when you live in Utah.
- hanging out with the “rock stars” of my world. You can bet I’ll be doing some name dropping because I’m going to be more than a little geeked out over all the cool people I get to meet.
- the chance that my hubby and kids will have to spend time together. I know they will miss me and that it will be hard at times, but it’s also neat that they will get so much time together.
- getting to see all the cool scrapbooking stuff out there and experiencing something totally new and exciting.
We recorded a new episode of The Digi Show this week where we discuss some of the things we will be doing at CHA. We will even be having a listener meet up! If you are heading to CHA, please let me know in the comments or send me an email. It will be a whirlwind trip, but I will do my best to try and meet you if possible.
Wish me luck and send happy thoughts (or prayers if you are so inclined) my way for a safe and easy journey!
