It's been a busy week since returning from CHA Winter 2013, my sister came to visit and I had an art journaling workshop at my studio this past weekend. This was my tenth year going to CHA and it's always fun catching up with my lovely friends at CHA and seeing new products. I had a weekend full of meetings..which I'm super excited about! NEW product development and writing opportunities that I will reveal as soon as I can. CHA is always great for networking and making NEW connections. So many NEW ideas came from my meetings and presentations!
I was so busy in meetings, I didn't take many photos but here are a few snapshots from CHA...
my demo table at Sakura of America..experimentation with Gelly Roll Glaze, Koi Travel Sketch Watercolor set and waterbrush and my NEW Graffiti Glam stamp sets on Strathmore Mixed Media paper & cards!
I hosted the Filling Stations at ILoveTo Create booth where we made a bunch of fun projects.
my girlie glam doodles & stencil painting demo at ILoveTo Create...we converted painted t-shirts into totes!
my sister came in from Hawaii and my cousin met us at one of my Venice Beach FAVES..Gjelina..so yummy!!
and more fun pics with some of my lovely artist friends {I borrowed some of these from the photos I was tagged in on Facebook} good thing other people took photos..lol :)
