CHA! More From Orlando!

Published by at 10:40 pm under CHA Orlando 2009

Hey there, everyone!  I’m back with more photos from Summer CHA, here in Orlando!  It was another day full of smiles, laughter, new products to view, and yes … tired tootsies.   I hope you enjoy seeing more photos of talented paper-crafters and some of the companies that are here to share their latest products & papers.  Here goes!

CHA Unity Team 500×350Photo #1:   It seems like just yesterday that Unity Stamps first appeared at CHA.  Their exclusive sliding handles and unique wood-mounted stamps were so clever & unique.  Now, their collection of images has grown exponentially, while their design team presents their products with fun & fresh style.  It was a blessing to spend a little time with them this week.

CHA Wendy 297×375Photo #3:  I enjoy using a variety of products by “Ranger”.   Well, if you would like to learn some great techniques to broaden your stamping horizons, Wendy Vecchi is a wonderful instructor.  She can make Grungeboard become a ‘necessity’ on your stampin’ table.  😉

Photo #4:   I was tickled to look up from the Copics booth to see Lynn Mercurio walking toward us on Wednesday morning.  I haven’t seen her for at least 2 years, and so enjoyed being in the presence of her smile again!

Broni DebbieOlson 400×317Photo #5:   Here are two delightfully genuine & talented friends, Broni Holcombe (waterchild12) and Debbie Olson.  At times, the aisles of CHA seem to be like a secret garden, sprouting sweet treasures at any time of day.  Broni and Debbie hadn’t met before today, so this was a happy time for sure!

CHA MFT Team 500×307 

Photo 6:  Look who else I’ve spotted!  Here’s part of the talented team from My Favorite Things :    Christy Beckwith , Kathy Daume, Kim van der Sanden (owner), and Jody Morrow (TexasJodyLynn).   Alma de la Rosa (The Cat’s Pajamas) is also in this photo, sharing the fun of meeting up with friends at CHA.

CHA Inky & Bev 500×348

Alas, it’s time to choose one more item to share, of many more to come.   I’ve been a fan of Inky Antics stamps for a very long time, and have been blessed with a friendship with Inky’s originator, Jackie Lewis.   Today I had another chance this trip to visit with Ted (owner) and Jackie for a few more minutes.  They won’t be back in Texas until their annual visit to the stamp show in Mesquite, so it was a pleasure to get a couple of photos here. 

Goodnight to all of you, from lush but rainy Florida!  I’ll be back with more to share.  I hope you’re enjoying the peek from CHA!   Have a delicious day ahead!
