I have learned the value of a fast Internet connection. However nice the Chicago Rosemont Hyatt is, the connection was soooooo slow I eventually gave up. So, I had over 300 Email's waiting for me upon arriving home. Please forgive me if you have written and it takes me a little while to get back to you. I promise I will. :)

CHA was so wonderful (as always). It's a crafter's haven, and I was right at home. This was my 5th CHA, and the first I was actually able to walk and enjoy. Working the booth is always a blast, but walking... seeing all the new things, and meeting people was truly priceless. I was able to put faces with phone voices and tie up some lose ends I had been working on. But, best of all, we were able to once again move mountains for the digital industry. I don't want to divulge too much... but I can say, we have added several new manufacturing partners to the GetDigiWithIt.com site. I can't wait for the Grand Opening, which has been pushed back to give everyone a chance to populate their stores before-hand.

A funny thing kept showing up all over the show floor. It wasn't a new crafter's product, or an exhibitor at the show... it was Flip cameras! I hadn't heard of them, but I actually received one for a promo I'm working on with Wacom. I was armed with it at the show, and apparently so was everyone else. A Flip camera is actually a camcorder that looks like a point and shoot digital camera. It's compact, easy to use, and takes great videos. Needless to say, everything got captured this trip. I posted a few videos to my Photobucket account.... but the funniest, I have to say, was when Renee Pearson and I were "Flipping" each other! Click Here To Watch

I'll post more later on the show. Nicholas is having two teeth pulled tomorrow, so I have a feeling it's going to be a long day.

More soon..... Amanda
