Creating & Connecting with CHA in Las Vegas!

The show has officially began and the creating and connecting is underway!   I've met up with a lot of my creative peeps already, which is one of the best things about these events - getting to see and spend time with so many people who "GET IT" about our passion for creating!  Here are just a few - Margie Higuchi, Ken Oliver, Ann Butler, Wendy Crafts, Eileen Hull, Jonathan Fong, Lisa Fulmer, Joe Rotella, Jen Cushman, Donna Salazar...... and more to come!!! 

 

Joe Rotella and I went head to head in the Charity Wings Mystery Box Challenge with Elena Lai Etcheverry  and had a blast with lots of laughs (Dumpster Diving Rocks - right Joe!?) 

 

Today I'm in the Trim-A-Rim booth sharing this fun new product with attendees!   Tomorrow I'll be at the KellyCraft booth - an amazing tool and some amazing new stamps to share too!!   Lots more of what caught my eye in new products coming soon!  

The Art Bra for Charity Wings

Another of those insane things I did for a good cause!   Charity Wings had a Mob Flash this year at the start of CHA to benefit the Be Aware foundation for breast cancer.   We were challenged to decorate a unique art bra, wear it to the Mob Flash (while dancing in a very uncoordinated manner to a choreographed tune), and then we wore them to an auction hosted by Westcott to raise money for the Be Aware foundation.   Angela Daniels sold hers super quick - those little toy soldiers battling cancer were a big hit!  Ann Butler modeled a Westcott creation, and mine had Expo International golden fringe, a floral Blumenthal Lansing button, and hand painted Jacquard Lumiere flowers with beaded accents and glitter. 

I'll share the link to the video of our dancing bra extravaganza as soon as it's posted!  - Cindi
