My First CHA 2012

 July 16-19 was the Summer CHA 2012 here in Chicago.  I was so happy to be part of Magnolia and be one of the exhibitors at the booth.  At the booth, I was with John and Barbro, owners of Magnolia who were one of the sweetest couples I met. I also met a lot of nice people, some whom I have just know in blogland.  This was my first CHA and I have learned alot. 

CHA Day 1

 Lesson # 1. Never ever wear 3 inch heels on the first day of CHA.

Lesson #2: Don't let your hair down when it's 100+ degrees. 

It was so hot and humid (outside) and my hair could NOT handle it. My hair got soooo frizzy, and as soon as I got inside the convention center, I got sued by "Medusa" for identity theft!

CHA Day 2

Lesson #1: Do NOT repeat the same mistakes from CHA day 1!

Overall, My CHA experience was awesome. Most of the time I spent it chatting with John and barbro who were such wonderful people.

So, here was the Magnolia Booth

These are the other booths that I took pictures of. I was hesitant to take close up photos because some of the exhibitors didn't allow pictures taken of their products especially those that are still to be released.

Have a great day!
