CHA Bloggers

Hey readers - I'm obsessed with CHA. Someday I would *love* to go and report on all the exciting new products. But for now I live vicariously through others. Everybody tried to get Paris Hilton pics. Some were more successful than others. Personally, I think she looks great and think the line looks cute. Here's a collection of a few blogs I've found with CHA 2009 Winter updates. :) Do you have a link you'd like me to share? I'm especially interested in pics from the Sizzix and Provocraft booths. Please? Pretty Please? Don't look for pics of October Afternoon's booth, because apparently someone made a big, stinky, shipping, boo-boo. :( And is it me, but is Basic Grey confusing India with Morocco? The new Marrakech line has lots of peacocks and elephants - and frankly, I've never seen either in Morocco. I associate elephants with India, but that's just me.

This black denim zippered & blinged-out album is pretty awesome, I think I want one. And We R Memory Keepers (creators of the Crop-A-Dile) have something called a Corner Cruncher. (hat tip Scraptime)

Ok so apparently Sizzix is not allowing booth pics. Really? Get out! Wassup wid that? Nevermind, Eva from CA managed to sneak a few pics of some new dies.

Also, don't forget to check out my two posts about new exhibitor booths at CHA Winter this year.

Happy "Blurfing"!

• Eva from CA - Hero Arts, Sizzix, Inkadinkado, May Arts Ribbon, Tim Holtz, Webster's Page & more more more. Good, large pics.
