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!

Susan’s top is so appropriate for a fun and inspiring time at CHA!
Thanks for the pics! The first one could be “let the fun begin!”, susans purple sparkle pic could read, “O-vah here, dah-ling!”, and the 3rd could read, “Hot off the press!”.
Oh, jealous!
Looks like so much fun!
The first thing that popped into my head for Susan’s pic… “CHA is Moxie FABulous!”
Kudos to Susan for bringing some extra sparkle to CHA. You could title photo #2: You can never have too much bling!
I’m commenting on the photo of Susan:
“Ooohhh look at all the sparkles, bling, gems and shinies!!!!”
It looks like you guys are having a super fun time!!! I actually have that same top Susan is wearing, only mine is PINK…and I have a silver one, too. I *might* just happen to love sparkles and such. Just say’n.
For the lovely ladies pic: “We are 4 wiiiillld and crazzzzzy gals!” {ala Steve Martin & Dan Akroyd in a vintage SNL skit}
The Sketches Magazine _I would say”You can never have too many sketches; now in one sweet magazine” I can’t wait to get this-is it out yet?
I like the picture of the ladies! It is fun to see the face behind the talent!
The lovely ladies photos makes me thing of the caption (Girls Just Want To Have Fun)!!! And fun I’m sure you are having!!!!
1) “Cute Crafters Cherishing CHA”
2) “Susan’s Super Stunning Sparkly Shirt”
3) “Several Stupendous Sketches”
The cover of the new Go-To sketch book looks great! Can’t wait to see what is inside!

“Drool” for the Go To Sketch mag. Oh my do I want that! As for the other two – the best word I can think of is “Fun!” It would be fun to meet them all, it’s fun to see what they call come up with creatively and it’s fun reading their blog posts!
Gee! The cat’s got my tongue. Hope you get some good captions.
Pic #1 Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
What else could it be?
Paper Crafts Sketches! Now that is just too cool. I’m always looking for inspiration on card layouts.
for go sketches ..”this sketches catches my eyes”
On Susan’s sparkly top —— “Ah, there’s that (insert YOUR favorit product , tool, or embelli) that I have been searching for! “
Picture #2 really caught my eye. When I first saw it my first thought was look at my bling (aka the pink sparkly top) Also Susan looks so inspired in the picture like she’s thinking of the next card or scrapbook page she’s going to make.
So the caption could be. Wow, new inspiration… What sparkly things can I add to my next project?
Susan’s picture: I’m on the trends just like CHA!
she looks beautiful!
Susan’s picture caption: “And on the third day of CHA, Susan spotted the new Go-To sketch book and smiled because she new it was good.”
The first photo caption. “We are ready for anything.”
Photo #1, Sun kissed cuties Photo #2 Oooh, CHA, where to first ! and Photo #3 Buy me, try me – - – you need me.
Looks like you are having just too much fun !
I need that sketch book!
For the first pic: “Going to CHA is in our job description….Are we lucky or what??”
Can’t wait to take a look at that new magazine!
I love the idea of a sketch book…usually that is all I need to get the creative juices flowing. Great idea!!

Love the pics and that sketch book…is a MUST HAVE! I just love the creative cards on the front and I know there’s more sweet eye candy inside.
Ok here are my captions:
1. We are the lucky ones that made it to CHA.
or Is that Tim Holtz?
2. Where’s the bling?
3. Don’t sweat it use one of these sketches.
Thanks for a chance.
What a cute tank top!
What a gorgeous shade of purple Susan’s top is! Looks like she’s saying, “Okay, ready!”
I think you could title the last picture “wall of fame”
For the lovely lady photo: We bring the sunshine wherever we go!!!
#1 – CHA is a girls best friend!
By the way it’s on my “bucket list”. That’s the list of things you want to do before you die (or kick the bucket as us Aussies say).
Caption for First Photo: “Will travel for paper crafts!!”
#3 While the girls look like they are having fun — I know I’ll have fun with this new issue!
for Susan’s picture: Sparkles Plenty! Anne, yourmainestamper
The picture of the four women: “Where else could we have so much fun??”
Susan – “Everything looks better with a little sparkle!”
Sketches “Aren’t you just dying to take a peek?”
That new issue looks amazing! The caption for Susan’s picture should be “She’s crafty, she’s just my type.” I’ve always wanted to use that as a caption for a photo of myself.
For the first picture you could say I am here having a girl’s day out.
Susan’s photo caption: “Yes, I have good CHAtitude!” Looks like you ladies are have so much fun ~ love all the photos you are sending to us unfortunates NOT there!
Great photos! I can’t wait to see the Sketches issues. How about “Catch a new sketch!”
