CHA - Create - N- Connect Is Next Week!

Kristin and I are so excited to be traveling to Hot Vegas to attend the Create-n-Connect Conference next week!  Honestly, I always love this part of my job. Meeting with the manufacturers, designers and long time crafty-enthusiasts has a way of stoking our creative mojo!  

Of course, getting to TOUCH and feel all of the new products is a definite bonus! We'll do our best to bring the show to you through videos and lots of pics.   Be sure to like our facebook page for Create-n-Connect highlights throughout next week!

We've added brand new Peeks to our list of CHA Create - N - Connect Summer 2013 Sneaks!
