Today, I’m going to miss Sunday service; it usually really carries me through my week so I’m definitely going to have to catch the podcast later. (You can catch it too if you click on Sermons/ Resources!)
Today, it will have to be “hands to work and heart to God” for me, as I head to the first day of the CHA trade show in Anaheim. It will be a busy day of “Make and Take” crafting, and if you want to join Beth and I in creating some fabulous little projects (or one of the many other fabulous creations from Creative Imaginations’ colorful and varied palette of artists and brands) here are the details of who, what, where and when:
I’m still recovering (or more specifically, my feet are still recovering) from last night’s gala, but it was a wonderful time, especially since my hubby and daughter accompanied me. Ian wanted nothing to do with anything requiring *special attire*, so he opted for a sleep-over at a friend’s house instead. Tori, on the other hand, was excited to get a peek into what it is mommy does at these tradeshows. She made fast friends with Sierra (the daughter of one of Creative Imaginations’ owners) and they had quite the party themselves, frequenting the chocolate fondue fountain, riding the Hyatt elevators, and just being girls. Victoria is actually very glum about the fact that she can’t join us today at the convention center. (It will have to keep it a secret that I’ll be getting to hear Martha Stewart speak tonight, followed by a gathering of friends and associates through my publisher at Downtown Disney later….that would just heighten her despondency! So mums the word, okay?)
