i think i have everything together.
this week has been so crazy... and what i have planned for the booth is nuts.
i hope that it comes off ok. there are some unknowns, and some time constraints... so i am nervous.
i have been looking at photos and scrapbook pages of last year CHA winter in Atlanta...it was my first show as my own brand... and i remember being sick with nerves and worried... and holy cow, i can't believe that was a year ago. feels like 10 years. so much has happened in this one year. i have learned so much and grown so much... i have probably AGED 10 years as well!
yet here i sit... again.. in a bit of a panic. hoping that everything will go smoothly, and that we'll have a good show. hoping the kids will be ok... knowing that i have forgotten something.
laundry is done, linens changed, fridge cleaned out (gross) i need to run to the store. i need to pack some clothes. nothing fits. and if you can imagine i got my hair cut.
NEVER cut your hair: a. before a show b. when you are pregnant.
seriously.
nonetheless. the catalog looks awesome... we are not releasing very many new items... but the few new items are very fun! i will post them on the blog after i get them photographed in the booth! so check back.... i will show you photos of the booth -- maybe sunday night. depending how functioning i am!!
deep breath...
here we go again!
« fun with maskS! | Main | having a great time...wish you were here! »

Girl, don't stress! Everything will be wonderful! And, I'm sure I (we) will absolutely LOVE everything! I can totally relate to the "everything not fitting" dilemma. At least you have an excuse ~ you're pregnant! I still have to drop my weight from being pregnant over a year ago!! Have fun, and everything will turn out fantastic!! Can't wait to see the pictures!!!! Yeah!

Oh, no! I'm on the way out the door to get my hair cut, wanting something different since I'm pregnant and feeling so "yucky". Have fun, can't wait to see - take lots of pics!

Despite the unknowns what an exciting time. Inspirational too. You have a great idea and a talent and you go for it. Everyone with a dream should be so bold. Good Luck on the show.

I can empathise completely about the snug wardrobe. I'm 15 weeks along today and my tummy has seriously popped. I bought a few maternity items, but it seems like such a waste of money when I know in a few weeks I'll need more clothes. Things that fit me fine last week make me feel like a stuffed sausage now. So I stick to big bulky things that just aren't cute or flattering. And I also relate with the haircut. I read in one of my pregnancy books to not cut your hair too drastically when you're pregnant. Sadly, I read it after my trip to the salon. I'm sure CHA will go well! Have fun! Can't wait to see your new stuff!

You will be fine! Have fun and can't wait to see your booth. I know it will be cool and fun. I can relate with the clothes issues after having two pregnancies. I think the first trimester is the worse because it is when no one can tell your pregnant but you feel it ine clothes. Can't wait until tomorrow

Breathe and be the fabulous self you are. I can't wait to see your new goodies and pictures from your booth. I love how your website is evolving and the 2006 ad links. I am still collecting from your first three releases! Oh, if it was only easier to get my hands on your stuff! It's worth the search, though. Keep the good stuff coming!

your nerves although tough on you,are actually very sweet! Sounds weird right?
but it is because you really CARE about what you do. That is what counts-that is what we (i) love! so go ahead and worry because that is why your stuff is so amazing! but remember to also ENJOY!
