holiday hugs + CHA




I'm trying to get back into the groove of my regular life.  I had the most wonderful opportunity to attend CHA 2016.  To be able to combine my love of crafting in a venue filled with absolutely talented designers is truly amazing....more on that in a smidge.

I feel so grateful and fortunate to have been able to attend CHA 2016.  It seems that my trend is to go every other year but it has been 2 years since I last attended.  It's always a treat to see all the new products but honestly, what a bloggers meet up...wow!  

How lucky am I to have been able to play in the Hero Arts booth on Saturday/Sunday?!  So thankful to be part of the Hero Arts team/family♡
