Update and more......

Hey everyone!

It was unavoidable but the stomach flu bug did hit our house! So far someone has been sick every day including me. My kids all seem to be better but I am still just a touch under the weather. Yesterday I spent the day sleeping and it was WONDERFUL!! With 5 little children I hardly find the time to take a nap but I slipped one in and even got to bed by 9 pm last night. Hopefully we will all be completely well by tomorrow.

This coming Thursday I will be leaving for CHA (www.chashow.org) in California where I will have my own booth (1021). Stop by and visit me for a free make & take if you plan on attending! I have some exciting news that I will announce at CHA and also on Friday, January 22nd LIVE on my blog at my Pink Pajama Party that will be broadcast from my hotel room. Karlee and the girls from Custom Crops will also be there with us. We will have lots of fun goodies to give away and lots of stuff to share! You will not want to miss it!!!

I do plan on uploading some videos this weekend and next week. Now that I am pretty much prepared for CHA I can do some fun things for My Pink Stamper! Yippee!!!

I hope you are all having a fabulous week and have something fun planned for this weekend!!

The correct link for CHA is www.chashow.org. Just wanted to clarify since the other link takes you to a completely different place!

Yikes, Robyn, sorry to hear the "bug" has stormed through your house this week. That nasty bug!!
I guess on the upside you can be glad it hit enough in advance of your trip that you should be on both feet by time to leave. Have tons of fun!!

Sandy & Rick said...

I hope you have a great trip. How do I do the "live" with you? I dont know how that works I watch your videos but I dont know how to watch them live? SOrry I am a little techie illiterate. lol

LilGreenBug said...

OH NO!!!! I'm so sorry you've all been sick!! Hope everyone is healthy and happy by the time you need to leave for CHA! Several obstacles have come up for me that I sure hope I can overcome and still make it!!! I've been so excited about it!!!

Blessings and Hugs!

Good thing the bug hit you the week before CHA and not during it! Sorry it hit at all though.

By the way, I'm curious, how many make & takes are you going to prepare? Wish I could go. I'm sure it will be a blast!

Looking forward to see the photos and videos!

Oh Robyn, so sorry you are all sick. You know what my favorite thing is to have during this time? LYSOL. I spray everything all day long. Someone told me and it seems to work. I keep it in every bathroom. Just a helpful tip.

I hope I can converse on the live show with you. I couldn't last time and I don't know why. I'm wondering if I have to register with Ustream???? If anyone will answer this, that would be most appreciative.

Mom2GabMan said...

hope you're all feeling better real soon. We just went through that this past week. Not fun!! Its a trickle effect. Everyday someone is sick. Back-to-school will do it. the first week we all had the stomach flu, week 2 we all have a cold. Can't wait for the PJ Party!

Julie said...

Sorry you all are sick. Get better soon! My prayers are with you and your family. XOXO, Julie. :0)

I can't wait for the PJ party and the big news!!! :0)

Peggy Snyman said...

Take care of yourself. The doctor gives us a large amount of medicine because he says with goes around the family. I understand. Its awful when your kids have it and you do too. I did a lot of washing when the kids had stomach flu . Hope u get well before you leave. Rest and lots of fluids. I am sure you have agreat support.

kim.mom said...

I so hope you are feeling better soon! All but one in my family has had it, too. Not a nice bug at all!!! Hope you have a great time at CHA - wish I were going!!

Glad to hear everyone is feeling better!! Better this week then next week for CHA! :(

I'm so upset because i'm going to miss the Pink Pajama Party. I'm going away for the weekend with NO internet access. I'm so bummed. But you know upon my return on Sunday, who needs to unpack?! I'll be running in to watch the video and hear all the announcements and fun!! :)

Hope you have a fantastic time at CHA!!!

I hope you're not feeling the bad kind of buggy any more! Only cricut bugs allowed from here on out! I'm so excited for you! Hope you have a wonderful time and can't wait to hear your big announcement!

Thank goodness you got sick before CHA. Hope you feel better soon. You will have a blast at CHA. I wish I could be there to meet you in person. Looking forward to the pj party from your hotel room!!

So happy you are feeling better, being a mom with little ones seems to make being ill a luxury! I look forward to all the fun with CHA, even if it will be via internet and blogs! Take care and rest up!

I really do feel for you Robyn I now when my 4 children were young it was always our worst nightware when one went down with a bug because you just knew the rest would follow. I do hope you feel back to normal soon but I am glad well not that you got it but that you caught it this week as apposed to next when you need to travel.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Rosemary said...

Hope the Bug leaves soon and doesn't come back! It can really put a toll on you when everyone is sick. Feel better and can't wait to see you at the CHA (via computer). Rosemary

I hope you are feeling better. I have "only" 2 kids... As I say here: I just cannot afford to get sick... I can't imagine what would happened if I had 5! My hero :-)

Kristie said...

hope all is well there in your home now. There is a lot going around. We've been lucky here in our home so far, hope it stays that way.
Have fun at CHA!

MrsPaperRose said...

I'm glad to hear the kids are feeling better and wish you a speedy recovery. My DH picked up a little cold and I'm trying to avoid catching it. So far so good ;) Have fun at CHA and I can't wait til the live broadcast!

veronika said...

Wished there was something I could do to help...always feel so helpless...So sad that CHA is so far from Florida sure would love to be there...Hope you have lots of fun!

Anonymous said...

Same here, Robyn. 5 kiddos with the flu and both dh and I. Not fun at all. I finally feel better. But now, ooh the messes to clean, disinfecting to be done, washing all the bedding. So not fun! Glad your group is getting over it.

Oh yucky Robyn, that is the sickest sick I think there is! I am so sorry you all were hit by the bug! I do hope you all are feeling much better now. Have a great time in California and I can't wait to hear your news! I thought I was going to get to go but things have come up and I had to cancel my trip :(. Bummer! Have a great time for me too and I will be anxiously awaiting the pajama party!

Dawnica said...

Jo said...

I hope this finds you feeling better. The stomach bug has been going around our school and I just know I'll end up with it sooner or later.


I've stumbled upon your blog while trying to research using my new cricut machine to cut vinyl letters. I'm hoping you can "help" me in this area. I'd also like to know how to create monograms in vinyl that I've seen being sold on Etsy ~ I purchased one for my Yukon and would like to make my own. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you ~

Jo

Glad you are feeling almost better! My littlest one was sick too. :( It's so hard when you can't help your kids. And even worse when you're sick too!

Can't wait to see what you have in store for CHA. Wish I could go...
