There really is no place like home Dorthy!

On Tuesday

 I finished up my month long project in LA

getting the CMA showroom ready for the 

Home and Gift Market 

going on now through next Tuesday...

...it's so wonderful to be home!

As some of you may know...

I'm the showroom designer for CMA

and have been for the last 22 years!

YIKES!

I go up twice a year to get the showroom looking fresh and new 

for upcoming home & gift trade shows.

Of course I don't do it alone!

There is a wonderful team in this permanent 40,000 sq. ft. showroom

along with designers from individual manufactures

who all come together and make it happen!

It's so much work...and equally as much fun!

I love seeing and working with people I've known for so many years!

We have it down to an art, as my friend and co worker Ollis says...

we know what needs to be done and we just get to work and get it done...

with lots of laughs along the way...

I really do love this group of people.

Here's a peek at just a few of the many manufactures CMA represents...

and what I've been up to in the last month

and why I've been MIA from all my postings!

I finished up on Tuesday morning and headed home...

while my friends & team workers who are every bit as tired as I am...

have to buck up and work the long hours of the show for the next week...

ARGHHHHH!

I don't want to mention I'll be thinking of them 

while I'm resting at the beach...

That would be cruel !
