"Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying."

Well I was. I did. I am home now. Been home for about three hours...(in the best madonna imitation I am capable of...) "And I fe-eel like I just got home, And I fe-eel."

UGHSSHGHGGHGS. That translates into one hugenormous sigh of exhaustion, relief, and excitement. CHA can really wear a girl out, but it was so much fun!

There was such a great response for October Afternoon, I couldnt count the number of times I heard people say how it was their favorite product either at the show or ever. There was so much buzz and I am so excited to see where it all takes us. : )

Here are two of my layouts from the booth. This first one is my favorite layout ever, hands down. It warmed my heart SO much to hear strangers' thoughts on it IN PERSON. Super neat.

You can see more photos of the booth here and here. Hope you like it!

For now I need to crawl in bed with my gorgeous MOST missed hunk of man-candy but just wanted to update and share a little surprise. I have some of the booths extra goodies to give away tomorrow! (this should be a good consolation for not posting the sneaks. yes?) So go catch up on your October Afternoon facts and see if anyone has shared any details about OA from the CHA experience so you can win this "fly" scrappy "shizzle." (yes, I am stuck a little on the slang flash cards I found in a gift shop in chicago that I almost got. lmao)
