Hello, crafty friends! I’m happy to tell you that I’ll be at Creativaiton (called CHA before) in Phoenix from 1/18 to 1/22. It’s my 4th year going to Creativation, and I’m getting more excited about this craft show as I’ll be seeing more of my friends this year.
If you are going, be sure to come by and see me at the Altenew booth(#545) or Hero Arts booth(#1735) as I’m doing Make & Take sessions with watercoloring. If you see me, don’t be shy to say hi – I would love to meet you guys in person. 🙂

If you don’t know yet, I’m the Marketing Director at Altenew since 2015, so I’ll be working at the Altenew booth most of the time. But I’ll be also walking around to check out new products from the amazing companies and chat with my old/new friends.
Make sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook as I’ll manage to do some live videos during the busy show.

Wow you know so many of the people that I admire for their amazing skills. I don’t personally know anyone but there are many I would love to meet like you, Sandy Allnock, Jennifer McQuire, Kristina Werner, Yana Smakula, Nichol Sphor the list continues, so if you could all get on the same plane and fly to England you can all come for a crafting time and a cuppa.

I have never been to Creativation (CHA) but I would love to go! Right now the crafter I would most like to meet is Dawn McVey. She has recently had a small intestine transplant and she has inspired me both in terms of crafting as well as her walk with God! I hope you have a great time!
