A Little Cover Up...

Oh goodness...what's a tradeshow without at least a little disaster??

Today was setup day for CHA! We got things done pretty quickly and things were going smoothly...until I pulled the pebbles sign out of its box. See the two frames in the upper right corner of the pebbles sign? They're covering up a huge crack. With so few resources and not much time on our hands, we did what we could with what we had! The rest of the booth turned out cute...more pics to follow!


We headed down to Navy Pier after setup and walked around downtown Chicago for a little while. Ate some good food at Bubba Gump's and saw a little of where Transformers 3 is being filmed. Became friends with some of the security guards who were keeping people out of the filming area.

Getting Ready For Chicago!

Clean bathroom. Check! Laundry. Check! Pay Bills. Check! Buy treats for trip. Check! New desktop background pic...no check. I thought about making a July desktop pic, but it'll be August when I get back to Utah, so I'm just going to look at these cute pics til then!

Oh yeah, it's Pioneer Day here in Utah today! Didn't really do anything to celebrate...maybe next year, right??

I don't know why I'm so nervous about the upcoming trade show. I'm usually really excited about going and meeting people, but for some reason, I'm kind of anxious about the whole thing! It's always funny hearing people talk about the products. At the show, most people assume I'm a sales rep (verses a designer), so they'll say whatever's on their mind about the products--good or bad, and it's hard to not take it personal if they don't like it. I love how the baby line turned out, so we'll see how it goes :)

Time to pack!

Chicago Recap!!

Back from Chicago and St. Louis! It was a crazy and busy and fun break--it's not easy to come back to work after playing for a week! We had some idols on our flight over to Chicago...yes, THESE idols! 8 of the top 10 American Idols were on our flight! David A and C were MIA, but the rest were all there: Chikeze, Ramiele, Michael, Kristy, Carly, Brooke, Jason, and Syesha! At the SLC airport, everyone for the most part left them alone, but as soon as they got off the plane in Chicago, people swarmed around to get pictures and autographs! It was fun seeing them in person after being a faithful watcher this past season!
On Thursday after we got our booth all set up, Ashlee, Danielle and I headed down to Navy Pier! We had fun walking up and down the pier and tried to stay in as much shade as possible--it was so hot and humid! We had some good food from Bubba Gump...so good! After dinner, we headed towards Michigan Avenue! All the shops were closed, but it was fun to walk up and down that famous street! We caught a taxi to get back to our metro stop and passed by Millennium Park and THIS sculpture...I wish we could have spent more time downtown, but I guess I have a reason to go back!
We had fun at the show...a lot smaller than the Anaheim show, but we still had a good time!

Chicago!

We're on our way to Chicago this morning for CHA! We'll be there 'til Sunday, and then I'm headed down to St Louis Monday morning to spend time at home for the week! Yay for vacations! I should probably finish packing...

Have any suggestions on things to do in Chicago?? Lemme know! We might be able to squeeze a few fun things in!
