CHA

Hello Blogging friends!

January 2014 has been a very busy month! Before it slips aways I wanted to share a few instagram photos from the Craft and Hobby Mega Show and our booth!

My Mom created SEALAH TAPE adhesives over 10 years ago and she is well known in the home dec, window covering and quilt industries... so this was a real treat to show off the doubled sided clear adhesive for the first time at the CHA mega show and demo how easy the Jodees Inc Sealah Tape is to use.

A big thank you to my husband Mark Hammar for the new graphics and packaging and video for 2014. Everything looked amazing! 

We showed a variety of artful examples how quickly you can create crafty projects with embelishing paper, burlap, felt, silk petals, wood, metal, glass, rubber, fabric & even candles along with a (make and take) bookmark.

Amazing distributors and craft store buyers came by to say hello from around the globe and placed orders with us.

Creative soul that I am ...I loved talking with other artists and seeing what they were creating too! 

Funny and dynamic Rupert (Survivor Winner) sharing Tulips Tie Dye 

Enjoyed visiting and seeing Debbie and Shea again and I took a little time away from our booth to make a necklace at A gilded life. The booth they designed was stunning!!

Jenny and Aaron are very talanted team I met a few years ago at an art event.... very sweet too. They have a great new mixed media book out and a new line of hand painted paper ... really beautiful details on each artisic sheet!

Who doesn't love Mod Podge? Really great to chat with Cathie & Steve  always sharing great projects ~~~ such a fun duo team!  

We were right around the corner from the E6000 booth and Mark Montano.

Mark has several books published on creative crafting ... super talented and I have felt a creative connection with him from years ago with my visual merchandising back ground, excited to have his most recent craft book to get inspired! 

 

The week flew by ~~ but before we headed home I had to pop over to Disneyland of course.

Jodees Inc products available HERE to order!

Glad my husband and I were able to help my parents at the show.

A creative crafty week and creative 2014 started out big at CHA!

Over Coffee

I am on my second cup of coffee this morning friends, Happy June 1st!

Summer is on it's way...

I am sitting in my living room this morning addressing envelopes for our daughters graduation and looking at the newest issue of Romantic Homes.

This has been an emotional week for me...our youngest is getting ready to graduate from high school. Photos, creating announcements, planning a celebration... so many things going on to get ready to watch her walk across the platform to recieve her diploma.

This is on my coffee table right now,what a pretty magazine cover.  Make sure and look at the picnic for two story and photography! 

Summer is a perfect time to plan a little romantic picnic. I have always loved picnics and as you can see by the article it still makes my heart happy.

This is such a great way to share an afternoon with your loved ones, low cost, just a little extra effort on your part to create a picnic.

I hope you will pick up a copy of this fabulous magazine and take a look... I found it right away at Target and Ralph's grocery stores.

The July 2012 Issue of Romantic Homes Magazine is filled with creative ideas. 

A huge Thank you and Hugs to Beth Livesay & Jacqueline deMontravel for including my photography, styling and artful concept featured in your lovely magazine!

A true blessing to share creativity with others! 

Cheers!

Hugs and thank you Facebook Family & Friends for all your support and encouraging words.
