Pictures from CHA ~ part 1!!!

Here are some pictures from the Summer CHA tradeshow that was held in Chicago this past weekend. I'm going to post my pictures in installments for everyone. It is also easier for me to upload them this way.

This is me and the infamous Ali Edwards. She was doing a couple demos at the Ranger booth using their alcohol inks. She likes dropping it on acrylic to see what happens. She was sweet enough to give me a sample artwork, signed of course!


This is Heidi Grace of Heidi Grace Designs. She was creating mini artworks for everyone. She made me a dragonfly...of course!

Jean Chatzky was the keynote speaker at CHA this Summer. She talked about budgetting and money pitfalls that just about everyone makes.

Kezia from Tinkering Ink and I chatted at great length about the EXCLUSIVE classes she will be teaching here at Express Yourself on October 2nd!!! She will be teaching a layouts class and a special Peek-a-boo album class! Stay tuned for MORE details!! You can always pre-register at any time to hold a spot in these classes.


Mark Montano from TLC's While You Were Out was at CHA and hosted a Craft Challenge. I was a lucky participant in the Challenge one of the days and won Second place! It was fun to paint under pressure, in ten minutes, and get messy in the middle of the tradeshow. I will post some more pictures of PRODUCTS on the blog in the next post! Thanks for looking and have a great day! :)

I am counting the days until 10/2, Keisha's classes are going to be a ton of fun. The new TI lines are spectacular and the new vinyl strips are like finger therapy. Is it October yet?
Amy was awesome in the Craft Challenge, her painting is in the store, stop by and see it.
