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.

I would love to meet all the members of the Altenew team. So much talent and inspiration there. I love your work. Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to do Instagram.

Have plenty of fun for those of us who attend Creativation vicariously through social media! What a blast it would be to go and meet some of my fav designers like YOU, Jennifer McGuire, Sandy Allnock and, well, the list could go on and on! I’d also love to meet all the sweet company owners, like Tasnim and Jennifer, who we all feel like we know from their fabulous products and blogs… Looks like I’d spend more time meeting everyone than looking at what’s new. lol!

I sure wish I was going to be there. I would love to see all the new products and to know in advance just how much this season I will be spending. I have decided I have a serious spending problem which has also led to my second serious problem. Space is getting to be a real issue. How am I going to buy more and where will I put it all??? I just love your work!

You’re so sweet to have this giveaway! Well, of course, I’d like to meet all the popular crafty gals, you included!! A crafty friend I “met” on Instagram that I’d like to meet IRL is Jill that lives in Montana. Sometimes you just know that you would be best of friends even though we’ve never met face to face–she’s one of those. I think that’s so cool about our crafty little world!

I have so many crafty idols, but at the top of my list are definitely Jennifer McGuire, Laura Bassen & Dawn McVey. I’ve been following their works for the longest amount of time, and love how much love they share with the world in their creations and posts and videos. I would be thrilled to meet any of the amazing cardmakers that I follow in IG, including YOU! 🙂

It’s probably cheesy to say all of you! But ALL of you! And then just sit with a cup of tea and chat about life and how you find your inspiration. Cause I know you all are the source of mine!
Jan . 16 . 2018I hope they bring #Creativation to the east coast soon!

Your cards always inspire me! They are beautiful and creative.
I’m a little too old for Instagram (according to my adult daughter!) but wanted to let you know I appreciate your wonderful work!

I would love to meet and perhaps even craft a bit with this perfect table of people – Vicky P (super talent) Lauren B (real-life talent + energy) and YOU (serious talent and perhaps a little crazy) – all of which I love!!

I’d love to be able to meet Jennifer McGuire and Kelly Latevola (they are both from Ohio so maybe someday). I’m lucky that I got to meet may crafty online friends a few years ago when we all went on a cruise. They are the best gals.
