CHA

We made it home from CHA, our bags alittle bit heavier, but we made it home safely. It was alot of fun seeing and playing with  all  the  new products.  I met alot of awesome people, learned new techniques and got  lots of FREE stuff !!!!   Alot of vendors are very generous but I guess it's what gets their name and product out there, and I am happy to help them out :)   For example,  Kaiser Craft, all you had to do is spend $20.00 at their booth and you got this bag  full of all  their new lines. It was loaded with stamps, paper,embellishments, tags and stickers. I'm really excited to start using it.

This is another bag full  of free products that I acquired along the way.  There is everything from punches, papers, embellishments, markers, stickers to adhesives. Coming from companys such as Fiskars, Sizzix, ColorBok, Scotch and more. I never expected to come home with all this, its pretty amazing and overwhelming. I may have to come up with something to give some of this away.

We had a great time, would definitey do it again, but it sure is nice to be home.  Now I'm off to clean up the craft room and find room for some off this stuff!!

    Thanks for sharing your CHA experiences with us ;) especially in offering prizes. It would be wonderful to join in the fun sometime, but...since its virtually impossible for me, I feel lucky to be included in even a small winning from someone who was there. :D
