We have had such crazy weather here in So Cal all week. There was even a tornado earlier this week! Freaked me out a lytle... ok a lot... at one point I was sitting with Kyla huddled in my arms in our staircase (the inner most part of my house away from windows) on the phone with Tuan! LOL! I've been cooped up inside all week and now I am really looking forward to this weekend. I am heading off to the Anaheim Convention Center to attend the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) Shows. CHA will be hosting two shows this weekend.
The first show is the CHA Craft Super Show which will be held Fri 1/22 and Sat 1/23. This is a CONSUMER show and is open to the public. You can pick up a $5 off coupon at The Scrapbook Garden. While you're at the show be sure to stop by and visit Melissa at the So Cal Retail Scrapbook Association booth for a FREE make and take. Also, my dear friend Kevin Nakagawa will be hosting a Stampscapes demonstration at the Stamping Details booth.
Then of course there's the actual CHA Trade Show which is for retailers only. This is where the industry debuts all of the upcoming new releases. So have you seen all the sneak peeks that are floating around out there? If you're a Tim Holtz or Heidi Swapp fan, you definitely want to stop by their blogs to see the all the AMAZING things they've been up to. And for the MECCA of CHA sneak peeks, you must check out The Scrap Review. I think they have someone who is solely searching for sneak peeks everyday to post on their site. You can even sort the sneak peeks by manufacturer. Definitely check it out.
I'll be back throughout the weekend to show you an insider's look at the show. Also, check back on Saturday for information on the Lytle Scrapper Weekend Retreat 2010.
I can't wait!!!!!!
