EvEn MoRe cHa PHoToS...

When I began my adventure to the CHA Show on Friday (July 20th)...it started with sitting NEXT to (well, across the aisle) the GOVERNOR of ARIZONA on my early morning flight! Can you just say "WOW!" How often does THAT happen?!!! I was sitting in Coach too. She was sitting next a Rastafarian dude--I had to get him in the photo too. (I asked if I could snap a photo...yes, it was a VERY well secured flight!)

FABULOUS weather in Chicago! (it was like 78 degrees..which is WAY cooler than the 113 degrees I was flying in from.) Beautiful Hotel !! So much FUN!

I saw the "Summer of Love" show on Saturday night at the Hyatt. The dinner show in the Grand Ballroom was decked out in 60's style--complete with psychedelic Dancers and a Austin Powers look-alike..."YEAH BABY!!"

The "Summer of Love" show featured "Beatlemania" (aka the fake Beatles)..of course, being a HUGE fan of the FAB FOUR, this was not the 1st time I had seen these FAB look-alike Lads play in concert--they do an amazing show & sound like the REAL BEATLES!! Like for real!!

Enjoy the photos! More tomorrow!

I met Lisa Zappa at the Crafty Secrets booth--not only is she so talented, but she is just adorable! I recognized her instantly from her Blog Photo! Here are a few photos from the Crafty Secrets booth...

The last one is of the whole booth. In case you are wondering WHO are the backs of the ladies in the booth--well, that is Lisa Z. helping CS Owner Sandy with her apron and the lady bending over the table is Sandy's sister Wendy--the nicest bunch of ladies you'll ever meet! Enjoy!
