Another Day at CHA

Hi - so glad so many of you are leaving me comments. It makes it so worthwhile and even though I am shattered and it is 11.20 at night I want to share a little bit more with those of you who are popping in.
Sit back and enjoy







Kicked off the day with Dreamweaver Stencils and saw some great things using them with metal.







What visit to CHA would be complete if I did not include a photo of the delightful Claudine Helmuth. Not seen her demo yet. Here she was filming

Here's a quick peek at Diane on the Ranger stand.







Now who is demoing in the midst of this crowd? Tim?






... And contrary to what this guy might tell you I was not at Tim's stand all day







Leaving the paper crafting I wandered down to the jewellery and saw this dress - pretty spectacular what?












Going over to Viva in the hopes Lisa Pavelka might be there I met this incredible artist -Brenda Abdoyan







I just loved her work ... And she was wonderful to talk to.














This was the doll she made, painting all the fabric, especially for the show.

Then I spotted these cute stamps







Check out the "Nursey" quilt.







Will leave you now with some shots of a familiar stand - fab papers that I know you all love. Always a fabulous stand. Graphic 45!


































I'll upload lots more when I get back to Mary's.
