I got to catch up with some of my blog buddies at the CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) show last weekend. I had a chance to visit with Katie Hacker, Candie Cooper, Margot Potter (who, unlike me thought to take pictures--see the shot at right), Kathy Cano Murillo, and Jennifer Perkins. Most of them were doing demos in the booths of various companies, showing off all the great stuff that will be in your favorite shop and store soon. There were other friends there as well, so it was a great chance to catch up with old friends, make some new ones, and get inspired.

Wanted to share some links with you as well, so you can keep up with my buddies!
