WHAT A DAY!!!

Hello, everyone!!!  Hope all's well and there's some happy crafting going on!!!

Sorry I haven't been around today but, wow, I've had a heck of a day!!!  As you know, I'd planned earlier to be at CHA this week, however, with the cost of assisting in 2 family reunions and with an upcoming vacation on our schedule, I decided to put aside what leisure money I have for our vacation and forego CHA this year.  Figuring I'd spend much less money than I would have at CHA, I did hope to attend the CHA Road Show meet-up, but by the time I went to register Iwas emailed registration was closed!  I was a bit disappointed but let it go as it wasn't something pre-planned anyway.  Well..., as luck would have it, when my dear hubby looked at me this morning, he said, "...if you're going be moping around here looking hot and miserable, you may as well be hot and miserable  enjoying yourself".  With that he handed me money and told me to go to CHA!!!  Of course my first thought was that I'd missed CHA, but then realized I still had a day left and then there's the Supershow (even if it is different this year).

Before  I got myself all excited, I called to see if I could get a hotel reservation at such a late date and I was in luck!!!  So all day I've been getting my things together, getting everything in order that needed to be; and, just in case I need them, I just had to put together some calling cards.  Not having time to do anything really as cute as I would have liked, I did manage to do about 50 fast and easy calling cards so far:

So, I'm off again early in the morning for the last day of CHA and the Super Show!!!  I hate the hubby with these sporadic surprises he springs on me but I have to admit they do make me feel good -- uuuum....wonder what he'll be up too.  LOL!!!  Ahhhh, who cares!!! I think this is just what I need to get my momentum back!!!

Anyway, I don't have to dip into my little bit of cash now that the hubby's taken care of this!!!  And, he's so right -- I'd rather be doing something I enjoy than just feeling awful while trying to beat the heat!!!  Sometimes, I just think he's too wonderful... but, I'd never-ever tell him this!!!  LOL!!!  (Hope it doesn't read this post!)

I'll try to take as many pictures as I can although I'm not good at getting my camera out of my purse when I'm enjoying myself.  I'm not certain if I'll come back home Saturday evening or Sunday morning; that will depend on how I feel after all the fun I hope to have, but I do promise to let you know all about it!!!

Boy, this really IS turning into a busy summer for me -- busiest I can remember in a long, long time!!!

Gotta go!!!  Really excited now, so much so that if I weren't afraid to drive alone at night I'd leave right now.  Of course,  I wouldn't dare -- it's after 11 p.m..  Okay, that's about it; can't wait to get back with something exciting to share!!!

Love you all, hugs, and ...

I'll be seeing you!

P.S.  Oops!!!  Almost forgot.  Regarding an email I received from Pesky about the Gypsy cut.file for my DT purse box (the pirate box cut.files).  Pesky, you said the file was grayed out and wouldn't cut.  I'd like to know if you have the George cart installed on your Gypsy?  I used George to create this file and you'll need that cart installed; which may be why the file grayed and wouldn't cut.  I checked the file and didn't see a problem but if anyone else is having this problem, and has the George cart installed, please let me know and I'll try to figure out what the problem is.  In the meantime, Pesky, if you don't have the George cart and you're still interested in the file, please email me at audreyfrel@sbcglobal.net and I'll be more than happy to see if there's another cart I create this file with for you, or come up with another solution.
