CHA roundup

My computer crashed before I left for CHA in Anaheim. YIKES!! I felt lost without my macbook, I didn't realize how much I depended on it on the daily. I was trying to keep up with my email on my iphone but really it's not the best tool for answering email and typing out long responses, especially trying to type with one finger. So, finally I got my computer back but still no data :(

So FINALLY, my report on my CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) tradeshow roundup of fabulous times with my artsy pals, interviews with the crew from Threadbanger, the FAB Terri O, my Fiskars TV taping and share some of the great trends and cool companies I met with.

Rockin out with Terri O from Good Morning Arizona & Corrine from Threadbanger filming my interview

Everytime I asked someone to take a picture they had a hard time figuring it out. They would take 5-20 action pictures..LOL So, I had to post these four pictures because it just makes me laugh. These are just four of the 15 pics that were taken...too funny!

ABDC: Supreme Soul


Suprem-Soul-Group_044_ 

the BOYZ of Supreme Soul

One of my favorite shows is MTV's America's Best Dance Crew(ABDC). My nephew BB told me about the show last season and am totally addicted. I grew up dancing and listening to hip-hop/R&B/soul and many of my friends used to battle back in the day ~ breakdancing~. ABDC showcases some of the best, raw dance talent from around the country. It's great to see these crews showing their passion for dance and sharing the message to do what you love.

RjchinaIf you have never seen it, here's a little background...

Dance crews from across the country will krump, grind and showcase their fancy footwork for the opportunity of a lifetime. The competition is fierce and the stakes are high as the crews battle it out live onstage for dance supremacy. Each week they'll step up to the challenge and show off their skills, and each week one crew will be eliminated until America's Best Dance Crew is revealed.
