Groovin' with the Go-to Gals…at CHA!

Maren Benedict

I’m writing from CHA! I love capturing the spirit and excitement that comes from this event. 

It’s all about AMAZING new product and reconnecting with people from all over the world who ‘get it’. 

I am, as many attest, always taking photos at these special events. Here are my top three so far:

Lovely ladies! From left: Teri Anderson, Ashley Harris, Kim Hughes and Kim Kesti

Check out Susan's sparkly tank top...GORGEOUS!

Hmm…I wonder why I like this one so much?

I promise to share hundreds more in the next few days, but until then, I’d love to hear what caption would go perfectly with them. Leave a comment by midnight on Thursday, Jan. 28 and I’ll pick one person to receive some goodies from CHA. Be sure to tell me which picture you’re commenting on!

Maren Benedict,
Paper Crafts Go-to Gal

P.S. If you just can’t wait to see my hundreds of pictures, hop on over to the Paper Crafts Fan Page on Facebook. The editors have been posting some product sneak peeks, plus a few incriminating ones of us after-hours!

    If you are talking about captions for more CHA pictures, how about The newest, the latest, the best and the greatest.

    susan’s picture makes me think of a movie star:
    “Dahling, my Agent can arrange that – just give him a call”
    (very classy top!)

    Susan’s Photo
    “Sure, her husband thought that the sequined top was way too expensive, but what he didn’t know was that she actually bought it to embellish scrapbooks with!”

  16. Angela’s avatar

    Jealous – warm weather, crafting, paper, stamps, what more could you ask for?

  17. Cindy Holshouser’s avatar

    My caption is for the picture of Susan:
    “Opelescent Bling Beauty”
    Can’t wait to get the Sketch book.

  18. Brenda Lubrant’s avatar

    I will give a caption for the first picture of all the ladies. I would have the caption, “we hold all of the CHA secrets”.

  19. tgmagazine’s avatar

    The magazine looks great – would love to have a copy! The pictures look like everyone is having a grand time. One of these days I’ll make it to CHA; ’til then I’ll have to dream.

    “I’m here at CHA and ready to get into it!”

  21. Cheri Howard’s avatar

    Great pics, and I’m glad you’re having lots of fun! I think the first photo’s caption should be:

    “Together at last (and in REAL LIFE this time)!”

  22. Nicole’s avatar

  26. Kay Sibley’s avatar
