my '30 in 30' list revised

30in30

Three months ago, I posted about my 30 IN 30 list: a list of thirty things I'm goaling to do in my 30th year. Since then, I've revised some of the items and even changed some of them completely.

On the original list, no. 7 was become an auntie (twice!!) Since then, I found out yet another one of my good friends is pregnant, and changed that item to: become an auntie (three times!!!) 

To see the items on the revised list, and see which items I've already completed or are in the process of completing, head over to the 30 IN 30 page on my new website.

Have you ever made a birthday list? If so, what were some of the things on it?
Did you complete all the things?

I've wrote about getting to go. I posted one of the videos I was in. I wrote about outfits I wore. I wrote about when I met Amy Tangerine. This post is all the rest about my time at CHA 2015 that I wanted to get down before a new month begins and it becomes "something I did a few weeks/months ago".

I spent most of my time at the me & my BIG ideas booth (which you can see more of here). I took tons of photos, revealed new products via instagram, and talked with visitors and potential buyers. On the opposite end of the room housing the Tradeshow was the We R Memory Keepers booth. I often walked my way over to creep and stalk my Love Notes collection that was on display. I touched the paper and posed like a ham.

We had blisty.com, scrapbook.com, and Noell Hyman from paperclipping.com visit the booth and shoot video starring yours truly. It was nervous wreck, but I felt ready. Speaking about product and talking craft & hobby is something I hope is a part of my career for years and years to come. To have the show be my first real exposure to that was awesome.  With each video, I got more relaxed in front of the camera, and I wished I could have done more!

Two things about my time at CHA were my favorite. The first thing was being with and meeting so many creative ladies who share my passion for this industry. We talked memory keeping, the lengths we scrapbookers go to get good photos, products we liked from each company, how to get into mixed media, and many other things only people that love to MAKE understand.

The second thing about CHA that was my favorite was the profound sense of being where I belonged. I was amongst other creatives who enjoy paper and images as much as me, and have an intense desire to express themselves through craft, and who understand how a 'making' hobby can make a happy life. 

In short - CHA was OMG, and I am so grateful for the amazing start it gave me to this new year. ♥

my '30 IN 30' list

01 30 in 30

I turned 30 years old on November 9th, and I decided to make a birthday list of thirty things I'm goaling to do in my 30th year: my 30 IN 30. I've seen lists like this around the internet (here and here and here) and even made a couple myself in the past. I felt inspired to try it again this year because I believe it's necessary to write down good things to try and look forward to.

Some things on the list are reminders to do those little happy things I can completely control: like #25: wear something sequins or #16: dress the cats in costume. Some things are new and exciting experiences that are going to be happening this year: #7: become an auntie (twice !!) and #15: CHA! Winter Show! 

Some have definite beginning and end dates, and some are ongoing goals that need consistent practice. All have been on my mind. All are things I believe my future self will thank me for. All are adventures in some way, and I feel ready to embark. ♥ ♥ ♥
