well hello there bloggers! hard to believe i'm posting about the first day of cha when in reality we've been here since tuesday... i've been crazy busy teaching an all day ranger workshop for retailers, working on setting up the booths over the course of 2 days, and teaching in another cha workshop with the talented wendy vecchi, dyan reaveley, and claudine hellmuth....but today is "officially" the first day of the cha show. it's always exciting, so much to share and so many industry friends to run into again - i love this show! i have a few pics to share of all of the preparations that have gone on up until today. i'll be posting more this week and of course a video walk through that i'll be posting when i get home, but for now here's a little behind the scenes...t!m





Fun fun fun!!! :)
