and so it begins...cha 2012

hey there bloggers! well we have been in anaheim for the last 4 days teaching and setting up for cha which starts today.  thanks to all 300 incredible students i've taught over the past couple of days and to dyan, claudine, and jess for teaching along with me - what fun. i am so excited to share all of the products and ideas we've been working on.  here's a glimpse at all of the booth set up i've also been working on in between my pretty crazy teaching schedule.  so, with starbucks in hand, we're off to cha this morning (be sure to follow mario on twitter or facebook for all of the behind the scenes details from the show floor) ...t!m

well bloggers, we are off to anaheim for CHA!  we've been working non-stop around the studio to get things ready for the workshops & education, class kits, booth display boards, and samples, samples, samples.  i actually am looking forward to the next few hours of travel for a little down time...  of course i'll be blogging from the show sharing all i can right here on the blog with you throughout the next week...
