This is it! My last post from CHA! I am pretty much ready to come home now. I loves me some crafts but I miss my RonChops and DogChop's big time!!!
As I am writing this it's SUPER late and I need to get up early for my flight so it's mostly going to be pics (but I could not NOT post ya know?!?!?!)!
So that pink explosion of flowers is another project I did for CHA. I covered this little wooden box with felt leaves and loads of floral goodness (Lolly style). The base flowers are all painted with Shimmerz Paints and are completely stunning!
I did not get that many pics of the project before it was packed up (things have just been too insane these past few weeks)! I will be getting this one back, so if you want to see more details, just let me know! I'll snap a close-up!
Tomorrow I'll share how the little wire buggy (my last project) turned out... my little baby eyeballs are too tired to track that fella down right now!!!
Now on to the show pics (and sorry they are so few and far between)!
I am just crazy tired girls!!!!
From The Girls Paperie... I loved this little spooked out dress form!
...with matching hat!
BOO!
I thought this little house was incredibly sweet too!
...and RonChops I might just be moving into this place in the near future.
This place was filled with canvas and burlap products... I'll share more details on them later!
I was just lovin this booth to pieces!
I thought the layers of paper and fabric and moss in this piece was simply stunning (and it's HUGE too)!
I have two big bags of this moss at home and cannot wait to dig into it and apply it to a project like this! Such a neat idea!
Need I say anything at all here???
...or here...
I mean really.
I was torn on risking craft arrest of over the theft of the giant orange button pumpkin or this wall of rose ribbon!
I actually joked with my friend yesterday morning about stuffing the giant pumpkin under my skirt and feigning pregnancy!
(I would have looked like I was gonna pop at any minute cause this thing is HUGE).
It might have worked if it were not for that blasted stem!
Shucks.
Me think I'll need a loan in order to buy enough buttons to do something like this...
(RonChops would be ok with a second mortgage on the house for buttons right???)
(If I were RonChops I would totally be ok with it!!!)
(I mean this is darn cute folks!!!)
The new Tim Holtz configurable boxes...
I want these! Soooo fun!
Moving on from Mr. Distressed and Grungy to Mr. Purple Bear Pants...
(A perfectly natural progressio. Really.)
(Mr. Purple Bear Pants is the sweetest thing ever and could totally fit into Tim's line of products... don't cha think???)
This has nothing to do with CHA. They are just plain ole tealtastic.
They were in the hotel gift shop where I stopped for my daily health infusion and revitalization therapy session. The session consisted of a $5.00 bottle of electrolyte filled water (for brain balance and well being) and $4.00 chocolate something or another (for sanity and antioxidants).
Thank goodness chocolate has good stuff in it... that cancels out all the bad stuff (I read that on the internet so it must be true right????)!
This pretty little sprite is my sister (VikiChops).
She lives in Chicago and came to hang out with me at my hotel room yesterday.
She's stylish and metropolitan (and single and 29... hint hint!!!!!!!!)
(did you notice the teal toenails... are you too horrified over those insanely high heels)!!!
(who wears stuff like this folks??!?!?!)
It's Little House on the Prairie meets House of Prada.
(is she wearing teal earrings????)
...and...
She brought her knitting...
It's teal of course.
But it's not for me!!!!
So I kicked her butt back to the other side of Chicago!
(after stealing her teal scarf of course)
Don't even ask.
This might be one of the new line of embellishments coming out in August...
Nighty nite everyone!
Tired (and goofy) Lolly out...
I'll announce the winner of the Sizzix giveaway tomorrow and share more CHA pics!
P.S. Thanks for hanging out with me this week. Having you guys along for the ride made this even more fun! XOXOXO!
