CHA in ANAHEIM was AWESOME!!!

I just got back last night from going to the Craft and Hobby Convention in Anaheim and it was crazy FUN! We went to the consumer show the first 2 days and then the trade show the next 3 days. I did a ton of Make n Takes, including some really cool jewelry and a screen printed shirt!

The best part was that I went with Crops of Luv, a non profit group that makes albums for the Make a Wish Foundation families after they have gone on their wish trips. It is an amazing and very rewarding experience to be a part of this group and we met so many companies that were touched and willing to help out this cause with their donations and support!!!! Scrappers are some of the most generous people I know and my experience totally confirmed this!!!!!

There were literally hundreds of make n takes and prizes being given away through the whole convention. At one point, I had on a Cricut chef hat and a Slice apron....trying to win prizes from their booths. It was pretty funny walking around watching all these women with things all over them that didn't match : ) I even tried to win a pink moped....hence the photo....but no luck. It paid off for my friend though, because she won 1 of the new Cricut Cake Expression machines that enables you to cut out fondant, gumpaste, etc to decorate cakes. It is the newest thing that won't be out in stores till April or May and she won one!!!!! Seriously...only 8 people in the country will have one and she is one of them....

Anyways super cool experience....got a bunch of prizes for our Summer Retreat that you guys will LOVE!!!! Yippeee...can't wait till next year!!!
