Craft SuperShow happenings are scheduled for January 22-23, 2010 for the first CHA consumer show in the West, at the Anaheim Convention center. This will allow attendees the opportunity to explore vendor booths, and attend workshops for various crafts (sewing, knitting, kids crafts, food, organizing insights, decorating insights, gift ideas, etc.).

The objective is to provide cross-promotional opportunities for crafters where knitters can get hooked on scrapbooking, scrapbookers can try quilting, quilters can experiment with beading, and so on.

If you are coming from out of the area, you may want to plan a few days to stay in Anaheim and enjoy visiting nearby Disneyland, California Adventure Park, M&L Fabrics, and nearby quilt stores.

I hope to see you at the CHA Show and/or Convention in January!
