CHA Blog Hoppers here.
Last year we attended the CHA Mega Show as newbies. Even though between us Rach and I have over half a century of crafting experience, our Finders Keepers venture had just begun.
And we acted just a little starstruck while we were there. After BECKY HIGGINS* gave us a PERSONAL TOUR of her booth, we ran in little circles squealing like intoxicated chipmunks.
When we met TERESA COLLINS* we tried to act all cool and sophisticated, just like her, and failed. (She was cool about it, though…)
We photo bombed TIM HOLTZ* and then he photo bombed us back!
We were amazed at all the cool crafting materials and gadgets we encountered and were incredibly impressed with all the great people we met. Darcy, our American Crafts rep, is so kind and supportive of our tiny little company. (Snaps for Darcy!)
You just can’t ask for more fun and fabulous peeps than the peeps you meet at the CHA Mega Show.
*shameless name dropping
We hope you hang around long enough to get a gander of our latest and greatest–the Better Not Pout suite. It’s full of really wonderful papers and embellishments, including designs by Shimelle, Heidi Swapp and Stampin’ Up!
Every month we put together a suite of products (in addition to the FREE computer wallpaper we offer): a chipboard memory album kit, a pocket page memory keeping set, a 2-page, 12×12 memory keeping layout, and, coming soon, a collection of planner supplies and accessories. Please join us again soon for our second winter suite: Flurries.
