back from CHA

I am back from the CHA Show! What a fun and exhausting show it was! I compare CHA to summer camp. You get to see old friends, make new ones and there's never enough time to do it all.

Here are some of the highlights:

My product display at the Ranger booth.

Purse I made using my Sticky Back Canvas.

My demo table at the Ranger booth - the little blue bag is my collapsible water bucket!

Me and my friend Carmi. She kept me sane and on schedule during the whole trip! She has lots of CHA updates on her blog. Don't miss them!

Here's me doing my Make N Take bracelets on the first day of the show.

..... and some videos taken by the sweet Kim Jackson at the Creating Keepsakes blog:

Easy transfer technique using Sticky Back Canvas

How to stamp using clear Stamps and my new Extra Time product

For more CHA Show photos than you can imagine, you have to visit Suze's blog and see her CHA round up posts.

I can't even tell you how excited I am to use the products from your class. I am going to run out and buy a bunch of sticky back canvas too!

I have to laugh at myself. I tried
two times to see you at the CHA.
First time was Saturday, I started off with my daughter, only to forget my wallet let alone all the goodies I was visualizing I might buy. We drove for nearly 40 minutes and never found a bank in the area. Gave up. Then on Monday I drove straight over there, parked. Walked to the CHA... only to find out, it wasn't open to the PUBLIC :(
I wonder why NO ONE posted that.
Looks like everyone was having fun,
I sat outside the doors for about an hour... dreaming of making Sticky Back Canvas bracelets, haha

Cool stuff!! Will have to look into the sticky back canvas stuff. And see if your products are available in Sweden. You look like a moviestar!

I absolutely love the collapsible water bucket! I got mine at Archivers and loved it, but when I called back to see how many they had left, it was all gone. I am waiting for more to come in.
