Hi Everyone! I just wanted to share some of my photos with you from CHA 2010 in Anaheim, CA. 
Here is a snippet of the line as we all anxiously waited in line for the doors to open at Noon on Friday.
In NO particular order, the following photos are of some of the friendliest, inspiring people that I met while at CHA:
You may recognize this super accomplished stamping girl Taylor VanBruggen of Taylored Expressions. Her booth was decorated so sweetly displaying many of her wonderful stamps! They all looked so YUMMY, I couldn't resist :)
This is me & the gifted papercrafter Sankari Wegman of Sankari's Sunshine Corner. You can find her creative work at both Taylored Expressions, 2Sketches4You, Paper Craft Planet & Verve stamps.
This is Julie Campbell of The Vintage Chic. & DT Member of The Play Date Cafe. Julie was instructing a make-n-take for Crafty Secrets.
This is Provocraft's "latest & greatest" release! It is the Cricut Cake - an electronic personal cutting machine used exclusively for cake decorating! "Edible Art!"
You can see all the buzz this little gem was creating.
