This Saturday we are off to CHA in California and we won’t be back until late on Feb. 13th, so all orders placed between Feb.9th and Feb. 13th will be processed when we return. Thank you for your patience.

We will return with a ton of footage, products, magazines and a bunch of new friends. I am really looking forward to it, even though I hate traveling, I always enjoy going to these trade shows. It is rows and rows full of thousands of craft products, believe me I feel like a kid in a candy store. It is definitely overwhelming as this show has about 3000 booths and tons of classes and events. We have a ton of things scheduled while we are there, including filming the Bottle of Hope award ceremony which we will share with you on Polymer Clay TV when we return. We are going to also try to head over and catch Carol Duvall speak at the Page Sage booth, she has a video coming out with them and a few other artists, including Judy Belcher. We have an interview lined up with several artists and will be meeting up with many others that I am sure will be there. Needless to say CHA is not a place to break in new shoes. So I have decided I have to wear my scrubbie sneakers or risk the threat of blisters. So if you see me in my scrubbie sneakers, you will know that it is because I am trying to avoid blistered feet.LOL  I wanted to go out and get a new pair but thought better of it and will just get some new ones when I return home. They should be ready for the next CHA. LOL

Hope to see you there. If you are going  and would like to meet up, send us an e-mail and we will give you our cell phone number and hopefully we can meet up.

Come on back on Friday for a new episode of Polymer Clay Podcast.
