CHA Creative Adventure: Day #3

Good Morning my friends!!!!
Miss Tracy here and I have to say this morning is one of those "If they could only see me now" kinda moments...I'm seriously MulTi-TaSkiNg right now...I'm at the desk in what Mrs. Rogers calls the bonus room...(I'll explain more about Mrs. Rogers and her lovely home in just a bit). It's about 7:30am here in beautiful Mission Viejo and as I said I'm planted at the desk, writing this post, with a make-up mirror to the left of me, along with my straightner, charging my camera battery, and I'm frantically typing and uploading pictures to this post in between applying my make up, texting the kiddos at home, running the straightner thru my hair...and I all the suddened kinda stopped and looked at myself and thought...Wouldn't my LBH family get a kick out of all this chaos?!?!?! So I decided to grab my camera and take a quick pic...
 Today I crown myself the Queen of Multi-Tasking!!!

Enough of the "silly"ness....Let me tell you about CHA Day #3!
It was a hugely productive day for us! We attended three specific seminars...with some amazing dynamic speakers!  I always fret a bit about signing up for seminars (cuz you never know if it's gonna be a monotone speaker and turn into a snooze fest)...but these seminars were FaBulOus!!! Loved all of the speakers and they had such great, USEFUL, information to share with us that we can easily put into ACTION into our everyday runnings of the HoUse and our personal DeSigN promotion.
One of the seminars was all about Video Presentations! We're very excited about embarking on some fun filming adventures!!! Can anyone say...LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!!!!!!!
Here are a couple of the speakers that we just fell in love with...

 Julie Balzer


The Crafty Chica...Kathy

Theresa Cifali

I owe it all to Theresa...she inspired to post my first TwEeT yesterday! I have no idea really what I'm doing but ...hey, I'm tweeting!!! I'll learn as I go...I hope you will connect with me as I prepare to TwEet from the showroom floor today!

After all the seminars we were starving!!! I was totally craving some major carbs, so we went to Cheescake Factory where I indulged in a HUGE portion of Pasta!!! I'm still full this morning...hah!
After that it was back to Mrs. Roger's neighborhood for a quick change of clothes and then we spent the rest of the night having what I will call....the LBH Planning Party!!!! So let me tell you a bit about where we are staying...Mrs. Rogers (who is Hilary's mother) has been kind enough to open her home to us during our stay here in CA. It is a lovely home and trust me....If I could play the them song to Mr. Rogers...it would be completely appropriate! It truly is a "Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" here in Mission Viejo! Here are a few pic's of our 5 star hotel...


 Oh yes...the hot tub...it's been fabulous for soaking our tired footsies...

 Here is a look inside right off the bonus room upstairs where I'm currently Multi-tasking...
 and here is a look at the gorgeous view from my window...unbelievably beautiful!
 We are so thankful to her for taking us in and she has been taking such good care of us....She was feeling a little Camera-Shy today but I will snag a picture of her before we leave! She is just a doll...

Okay well, I've got to wrap it up girls and get my rolly bag all packed up for the Opening Day of the SHOW!!! My plan is to scope out and walk the entire floor today...not sure it can be done...but I'm gonna try my best! I promise to take tons of Pictures for YOU!!!! May try to do a little amatuer video-ing too :)

Remember to keep posting those comments....Post as many times on as many posts as you like!!! At the rate we're going with donations and give-aways...EvERyBodY might be a WINNER!!!!
Keep Creating!
Miss Tracy :)
P.S. I apologize for any typos or grammatical errors....no time to edit....have to finish my makeup, hair, reload the memory card, pack the extra battery, grab my order forms, business cards, etc. etc. etc. I'll be ready to wheel and deal this morning! Bring on the order forms!!!
