CHA 2016

It's almost that time of year again! Time for the Craft and Hobby Association international trade show in Anaheim CA. I have been going to this show for over 20 years now and I always look forward to it. So many old and dear friends, new wonderful creative products, growth and creativity everywhere! This year is a special year for me as I will be debuting my new line of Sizzix dies and findings for jewelry makers! You can come to the Sizzix / Ellison booth and see the entire line, and wait until you feel the garment quality leather with wonderful fashion colors. Leather jewelry never looked like this before!!!  Watch this short video for more information on my line!

On other news front I just signed a contract with F&W Publishing to make two one hour videos on how to use my new Sizzix line. I have been working furiously on the outlines and will be taping right here in my home town of Fort Collins Colorado! How wonderful is that? I love that they are located here as no airplane ride is required. I will be taping as soon as I get home from the Tucson Gem Show where Sizzix will be exhibiting my new line at the To Bead True Blue show! Look for us there!

 

Here's wishing you a WONDERFUL New Year!!!
