Last post for CHA! A class Sarah & I sponsored for Provo! -Episode 163

Happy Saturday everybody! This is my LAST post from CHA! Sarah & I were asked by Jinger Adams w/Provocraft to sponsor a class @ CHA! Of course, we accepted! We had a BLAST meeting everyone & I have to admit, I was NERVOUS before I got on stage, but everybody made me feel comfortable! We had 25 students! Here is a video of the class~ the class was 1 1/2 hours long, but I tried my best to edit it down as much as I could for ALL OF YOU!;) I ALSO wanted to give a HUGE shout out to Miss Mandie Wade for being a sweetheart & used my video camera & recorded the ENTIRE class for us! THANK YOU MISS MANDIE!!!!;)

Here are some pics from the class!

 That is the little 12x12 tote everyone made in the class! They used Sarahs & My stamps for their project! They ALL had a gypsy & got to weld their names in vinyl! Can I admit that I NEVER cut vinyl before? Kristy Day was an AWESOME teacher!! She is SOOOO SWEET!

 

Here is Sweet Mandie video'd the class for us! THANK YOU Mandie!;)

There were 25 ladies who took our class, but all the pics I took didn't all come out good:(

Later on that day, we were at the WESTCOTT booth & they offered champagne to all of us before they gave away an I-Pad, I-Pod and some gift cards! Wait until you see what we have in store for you from Westcott! They are a GREAT company!;) P.S. I was holding an extra champagne for Kathy!;)

Here, we had to hit Starbucks (which was right across the street from our hotel) one last time before we headed to the airport! Of course our cricut family joined us!;)

Here is my little cricut in the cab heading to the airport to go "HOME SWEET HOME"!!!!

Here he is waving good bye to L.A.!;)

He CAN NOT wait to get home to his family in Stockton California!;)

Here is Little Mr. Cricut reunited w/his Brothers!;) It was SOOO GREAT to be back home SAFE & w/my BEAUTIFUL family!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed our CHA adventures! I was so happy to share it all with you!;) Have a FABULOUS Saturday & DON'T forget to tune into Erin Lee's livestream tonight to hear her AWESOME NEWS! You DON'T want to miss this!;)
