Hello everyone! It's the start of my fourth day here in California and it is the first moment of sun that I have seen so far! I'm not sure if it is going to last, but I will take what I can get! It has been torrential rain up until now! My daughter and I went to the CHA Craft Retail Supershow yesterday. We waited in the queue with hundreds (maybe even thousands) of other fellow craft enthusiasts. The doors didn't open until 12 noon and we arrived around 11:30am. It was quite exciting to say the least. The show was a lovely mix of rubber stamping and scrapbooking and fabric related crafts. I was pleasantly surprised to see that even with all the people waiting to get in, the show was so large, it never felt very crowded. No wiggling through the crowds to get through to see what you wanted! We had a lovely day and were able to easily get in to all the stands and have a nice look around. I did fall prey to some lovely border punches and nice stamping papers myself. I can't wait to use them in my next stamping session!
I did forget to bring my camera with me to the retail show, but hopefully you will forgive me as I have found this nice pic of the new Tim Holtz' Distress Inks for you to have a sneak peek at instead. Does that help any? The CHA wholesale show does not begin until Sunday, but I promise not to forget the camera for that one! All for now, Sue x
