It's now past midnight here in Anaheim & that makes it waaaaay past my east coast bedtime...I'm amazed I have the strength to stay awake enough to send these pictures off !!
BUT, today began setup day at CHA and while I arrived very late due to bad weather and delays I still manged to walk the show floor as many of your favorite manufacturers were still setting their booths up.
So, I'm sharing
LION BRAND YARN always done a superior job of showing off their product.
Then, I turn the corner into the 600 aisle and who do I bump into?? The Rangerettes
all my favorite gals
a little further into the 600 aisle I spot a happy looking booth
I cant wait to see what they'll be demoing tomorrow cause they have ICE RESIN...my favorite product to use for permanent jewelry resin.....and here's some random shots taken as other booths were coming together
Graffic 45 booth
Dina Wakley artwork in the Ranger Booth
and then...after setup was completed...a B-I-G party, band and all, liquor bar and all, dancing and all was held outside right in front of the convention center... a really big bash with lots of colored lights...
of course it's where you bump into friends you haven't seen since last CHA and you are really happy to see !
Know who they are??? Hint Hint, only one is the one and only Margot Potter !!
My friends Julie Hickey From the UK and Chris Nicholson from the U.S. Two of the nicest friends ever.
