CHA Trade Show

July 17, 2012 by Amanda Formaro

Tomorrow I’m driving down to Rosemont, IL, just outside of Chicago, to attend the Summer CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) trade show. I’ll be palling around with my friend Shalana, Craft Editor from Country Woman Magazine and plan to find Amy of Mod Podge Rocks so I can give her a big hug as well.

If you are attending CHA, stop by the I Love to Create booth (#209) between 12:00 and 1:30 and say ‘hi’. That’s me up there in the picture, so you’ll know what I look like. I will be there hosting a make and take flower craft in the  iLoveToCreate® Bloggers’ Lounge. if you do stop by, there’s a water station and an electronic recharging station for your phones and laptops as well!

Other artists scheduled for appearances are:

10:30 – 12:00 Theresa Cifali
12:00 – 1:30 Amanda Formaro (me)
1:30 – 3:00 Jennifer Priest
3:00 -4 :30 Haley Pierson-Cox
4:30 – 6:00 Lindsay Obermeyer

I hope to share some of the new products coming soon to a craft store near you, so be sure to keep an eye on Craft Gossip for the news!
