Last Day at CHA Summer 09

Well, my friends, by the third day of the Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show, I’m just about pooped. That isn’t to say that I had a great time scouting more fun and goodies. Here, in a nutshell, was the day:

• Visited Judikins and drooled over Tranz it. Hope I get to review that!
• Re-visited the Viva Decor booth and Lisa Pavelka, and tried out some of the fabric paints. (Read my post on CraftCritique.com— it’s up now!) Drooled over paint. Hope I get to review that!
• Swung b Nunn Designs to check out the new Patera metal tag  jewelry findings. Drooled over flat discs and plates that you can rubber AND metal stamp on. REALLY hope I get to review that!
• Trotted over to the Clover booth, and checked out the new Hana-Ami flower loom. It’s so cool and retro. Drooling. Hoping to try it. (Sensing a trend?)
• Stopped by Beadalon to check out this really cool Chandelier-style ring, and got the scoop on the new stainless steel wrapping wire, the Spiral Maker, and the (older, but new-to-me) Spin-N-Bead Bead Loader. (Watch for upcoming CraftCritique.com posts and even VIDEO that I shot myself.) Drooling, hoping….

So much more to discuss in length, but I’m going to leave you with this great pic of the CraftCritique team covering the event, with our Craft Legend, Carol Duvall. Are we thrilled, or what?
