Oh My Aching Feet!

 But what fun I've had checking out all the latest and greatest in crafting finds! This years CHA show in Los Angeles seems a bit smaller than last years, but is no less full of really great stuff. We have found so much in the way of new papers, tools, embellishments and just plain great ideas for the coming year. Everything will have to stay a bit under wraps for a while longer but I will show you some pics of some really neat things that I've seen for now.




I just loved these dresses made of paper.  There were eight of them in total, but these are the only pics that came out clear enough to post.  It never ceases to amaze me at the creativity I see at CHA!


Here are a couple of pics of projects on the Ranger booth.


This is my good friend Suze Weinberg.  She and I go way back and every year we have our photo taken together. (No there are no wrinkles in any photo over the years because as Suze says, we never age! LOL LOL LOL)  I need to learn how to photoshop for next year!  Suze told me that she has officially retired.  I am hoping that won't stop her from sharing her creativity with us all!  She is amazing!

All for now, Sue x

    Paper? Really? They are all great but that one looks like actual peacock feathers - I would have wanted to touch them (and probably get into bother!)
    Glad you had a good time catching up with craft goodies and family.
