Jenny, Head Craft Test Dummy, in the Crafter’s Workshop Booth

CHA Summer 2011 is over already. (How did that happen?!)

I had an absolutely amazing time writing about the show for Craft Test Dummies, made at least 397 new friends, and was welcomed into The Tribe with open arms. Somehow, in between walking the show floor, heading to events, and blogging, I also managed to learn how layer stencils (Thanks, Julie!), used my first glue pen, and made my first stamp-involved paper craft! (Don’t judge me—I’m usually a fabric/yarn/needle crafter!) Plus, from the look of my suitcase, I’m going to be doing a ton of review-writing for Craft Test Dummies over the next few months.

A HUGE thank you to Craft Test Dummies for giving me such a wonderful opportunity! Vicki and Jenny, I miss your beautiful faces already!
