Live, From Orlando, Florida! It’s CHA!

Published by at 10:47 pm under Bits & Thoughts,CHA Orlando 2009

Hello Everyone!   I’m happy to finally get some photos edited to share with you from CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) in Orlando.   Although I arrived here on Sunday, it seems like it has been a whirlwind of fellowship with friends and fun on a non-stop basis.  I have so many photos to share, but will try to spread them out the rest of this week. 

The one & only Kittie Caracciolo (watercolorist extraordinaire) has opened her home to Broni, Sherry, & I this week, and we’ve also been blessed to share time here with Candy, all from the Rubbernecker team.  Then, each day at CHA brings new friends to meet, and familiar friends from across the U.S.A.  to (((hug))) with delight.  I so adore gatherings & the blessing of savoring moments with friends! 

Okay … I know … bring on some pictures!  I hear ya …. so here we go!

CHA Crafty Secrets 394×525Photo #3:  All stampers would enjoy a visit to the Crafty Secrets booth!  Their design team does such remarkable work with the beautiful vintage images, papers, and products offered.   Those who will be visiting the ‘CHA Craft SuperShow’ on Friday & Saturday (July 31 & August 1) will have the opportunity to purchase directly from Crafty Secrets.  (I already have my personal wish list ready!)

CHA Cami & Joy 495×364Photo #3:   One of the popular new hits of the stamping world this year is “Our Craft Lounge“, a.k.a. “O.C.L.”  Remember my “Kona” cards from June?  Those darling images are from “OCL“, owned by Cambria (Cami) Turnbow and Joy Kennedy.   What a sweet treat to be blessed with time with both of these talented women this week!  (Thank you both, Cami & Joy!)

I do have many photos to edit & share, you can be sure.  However, I’m the last one awake here, and we have early wakeup plans in a wee few hours.  So for tonight, I’m bidding you “Sweet Dreams” no matter where you may be.  It’s time for me to try to catch a few little winks before it’s time to dash out for the last day of the wholesale showing of CHA, Summer 2009.  I’ll have more product photos and friends pics to share as well, hopefully tomorrow night.  Until then, “Goodnight”, and thanks so much for stopping by!
