Chicago In 5 Days!!!

I leave for Chicago in just 5 short days! In some ways I feel like they are going to fly right by and I won't have enough time to get everything done that I want to, but on the other hand, THEY CAN"T GO FAST ENOUGH!!!! ;) 

(can you tell I'm just a little bit excited?)

Here are a few things I am planning on doing whilst in The Windy City...

Of course I'll be hitting up Renegade Craft Fair...

Check out here for the details of the weekend's festivities!  

I can't wait to see all the vendors but I'm especially looking forward to meeting this girl here...

And one her besties, this adorable gal here...

You can't visit Chicago without sampling a slice.

I'll definitely be getting myself a cupcake. Daily. And thanks to the lovely suggestions from Caiti over at Life is a Canvas, I'll be heading here, here, and here.

I want to do a bit of shopping outside of the show, perhaps scour some good vintage stores like this one...

And in addition to crafting, some good food, and a little shopping (but, really, what else do you need on vacation) I am going to try to pack in some of the city's sites...

Glass Plant Studio made the suggestion to try a boat tour, which I think is a great idea, especially since I only have 3 days. 
 It sure is going to be jam-packed, but I can't wait! YEA!

Hope everyone's having a great, sun filled Labor Day Weekend! I'm heading out to enjoy it myself.

Hugs,
