It's official - We made it to the Rosemount Convention Center and after much effort and a hefty dose of lifting, we finally managed to piece together the booth..of course, that doesn't go without saying that we didn't run into a few snags along the way, but all in all, things are looken' pretty good and we're ready to go! A quick reminder to those of you attending the show, we're booth #1243. We'd love for you to stop by and take advantage of our CHA specials:

We've posted a quick couple of images taken during set-up today - the first is one of Crate Paper's most dedicated team; Steve & Lisa!! While at CP's booth, make sure to say "hi!" to the both of them! Not only are they the creators of all things Crate Paper, they're also builders of the Crate Paper booth! We'll share the full booth set-up on tomorrow's post! If you've not seen CP's booth previously, you'll be quite astounded by Steve's out-of-this-world carpentry skills!
One wall done..we're making progress! Recognize the collection? We've accommodated the collection with another recognizable item; Heidi Sonboul's spectacular "School Spirit" layout!
This one's almost finished, but it's not quite there yet - a slight turn to the right and then it'll be perfect!
And the mayhem continues...though slightly closer to the finish line and nearly ready to go for tomorrow! There's still some maneuvering of walls and final touches to be had, but of course, it's the end of the day already and we've managed to put it all together in time for tomorrow's 10:00am opening ceremony. Oh yes, there's a ceremony...it makes for quite an interesting story, but we're opting to save it for a lil' later on! For now, we'll leave you with this small bit of info about tomorrow's post as we're doing our best to keep you updated with our daily ongoing's and CHA adventures while in Chicago - we've asked one of our designers to guest blog for CP tomorrow evening..you're probably well familiar with her - she'll bring with her images of the completed booth & of course, more pictures of Steve & Lisa!
And incase you're wondering, we do have a winner of our latest giveaway - "School Spirit", though we're going to hold off on announcing the name as we want to dedicate a full post to the topic - there were too many great stories to not include or devote to a full post. So, if you'll kindly provide us another couple days to announce the winner, we'd be more than grateful! We just think it deserves more "credit"!
Looks Fab!!! Have fun at CHA :)
