Laura & Sharon go to CHA

Laura & I went to Anaheim to attend the 2008 CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) Convention. Our first stop ... BABIES R US!!!!!! Though we still don't know the sex of the baby, we had a great time browsing through the WHOLE store (I think we spent over two hours there). We looked at little girls clothes, little boy clothes, unisex clothes, and all the accessories you could possibly want. We tried not to buy anything but I found something the baby could not do without ... A reindeer snowsuit to wear to keep warm while going out Christmas shopping. So cute. I told Laura if the baby was a girl, I would just add red & white ribbons and a red tu-tu on it. We had so much fun "window shopping" for baby goodies.

While attending CHA, Laura & I made baby bibs (the booth was making either bibs or onesies). I made the purple one and Laura made the green one. They were fun to make although they weren't exactly "beautiful". We had fun and laughed the whole time. I also made a "Winnie the Pooh" box in case the baby wants to store some memories in there.

We ran into Donna Dewberry and let her know that we would NOT be attending her convention this July as "we were going to be grandmas" around that time. We knew that she would understand and we told her we would see her next year.

Last but not least, we made "CRAFTY GRANDMA" t-shirts for both Laura & me. WE HAD A GREAT TIME (we always do).

Oh yeah .. I think we set a record for how many different Curry Houses you can eat at in six days (we ate at three of them). Yummmmm.

OK, Sharon. You've hit the nail very accurately with this blog...but we did have so much fun at CHA. As for baby things, we have only just begun our plan of attack. Just wait and see what damage we can do before baby comes.

HI Auntie Sharon,
Your grandson doesn't know how lucky he is having you as his por-por! I hope that he will be able to wear all the clothes and play with all the toys that you're stocking up for him.

We love your blog and find the minds and innerworkings of a grandparent very entertaining!

Thanks for letting us be part of your journey.

See you soon, Auntie Sharon!
Love,
HH (and P&C too)
