My jetlagged brain is finally allowing me to write this blogpost to tell you just how much fun i had during my USA trip. Grab a coffee or tea, this will take a moment!
My first 5 days were spend in Anaheim (California) at The Craft and Hobby Mega Show.
Saying the weather was amazing is an understatement and the palmtrees made the whole picture perfect! But the fun, was inside the convention center...
Coucou les tout doux!
Mon cerveau jetlaggué me permet enfin de vous écrire ce message pour vous dire combien je me suis amusée durant mon voyage aux Etats-Unis. Prenez une tasse de thé ou de café, ça va prendre un moment! Les premiers 5 jours, je les ai passés à Anaheim en Californie au Craft and Hobby Mega Show.
Dire que la météo était au top est un sous-entendu et les palmiers rendaient la vue parfaite. Mais la fête se déroulait à l'intérieur du centre de convention...
During the 4 days i was at the show as CHA Designer member, i followed several business seminars, section meetings and creative workshops. I spend the rest of the time walking the Market floor, watching demos and drooling over the new products.
It was so much more enriching than i expected, on all levels!
For me, the best part of all was connecting with people: some i have been in contact with via the web, some were new acquaintances. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet them all!
Durant les 4 jours où j'étais au salon en tant que membre Designer du CHA, j'ai suivi plusieurs séminaires d'entreprises, des réunions de section et des ateliers créatifs. J'ai passé le reste du temps à me promener sur le marché, à regarder des démos et à baver sur toutes les nouveautés.
Ce fut tellement plus enrichissant que ce à quoi je m'attendais, à tous les nivaux!
Pour moi, la meilleure partie était les rencontres, d'un côté avec les personnes avec qui j'étais déjà en contact sur le web, d'un autre côté, les nouvelles connaissances. Je me sens privilégiées d'avoir eu la chance de les rencontrer tous!
At the Blogger-Manufacturer networking event, put on by Prime Publishing, from left to right:
A special thank you to Anita for the Texas Trash (i finished it today, delicious!!) and to Amy for the boxes (more about that later). As for Marjie, my thank you to her will be the subject of another blog post ;))) And a thank you to all of them for the fun dinners together!
Un merci tout spécialement à Anita pour le 'Texas Trash' (que j'ai fini aujourd'hui, c'est délicieux!!) et à Amy pour les boîtes (plus à ce sujet plus tard). Quant à Marjie, mes remerciements feront l'objet d'un tout autre message sur ce blog ;))) Et un merci à chacune d'elle pour les repas sympa ensemble!
My mom in art: Louise Nelson. And for those who say i should call her sister instead, i feel too much like a kid next to such a talent to call her that!
Ma maman scrappesque: Louise Nelson. Et pour ceux qui trouvent que je devrais soeur au lieu de maman, je me sens bien trop gamine à côté d'un tel talent pour l'appeler comme ça!
So good to see my sweet friend Gerry Vangent again!
Cela a fait du bien de revoir ma douce amie Gerry Vangent!
I finally got to meet sweet Roben-Marie Smith. Be careful if you ever meet her: her fantastic art is contagious! Despite all my efforts not to get contaminated, i couldn't help myself and started a Documented Life art journal! More about that soon :)))
How so you don't recognise this rock star?? If you know Dylusions, you must know Dyan Reavely! I'm so thrilled with the new Dylusions colors, especially the neutral grey!
Comment ça vous ne reconnaissez pas cette rock star?? Si vous connaissez les Dylusions, vous devez connaître Dyan Reavely! Je suis super contente avec les nouvelles couleurs, surtout le gris neutre!
I knew i would meet Seth Apter, as i followed one of his classes (which i can only recommend!). Not only do i think he's a talented sweet guy, i love his speech about blurring the lines between creative artforms!
Je savais que je rencontrerais Seth Apter, puisque j'ai suivi un de ses ateliers (que je ne peux que recommander!). Non seulement je pense que c'est un type sympa et talentueux, en plus j'adore son discours sur l'élimination des frontières entre les différentes formes d'art créatif!
I expected a sweet person when meeting Linda Ledbetter, but i met a Lovely Lady with capital L!
Je m'attendais à une personne douce en rencontrant Linda Ledbetter, mais j'ai rencontré une Dame Adorable avec majuscule!
I also got to meet Karen Ellis (owner of the Art House Studio in Ontario Canada), who took the time for a very instructive lunch with me. Thank you Karen!
And how could i not spend some time with my friend Finnabair?? Thanks for the fun hon!
J'ai aussi pu rencontrer Karen Ellis (proprio du Art House Studio à Ontario au Canada), qui a pris le temps prendre un lunch très instructif avec moi. Merci Karen!
Et comment pouvais-je ne pas passer un bon moment avec mon amie Finnabair?? Merci pour la bonne compagnie ma chérie!
But i also met Wendy Vecchi (can't wait to get my hands on her new Crackle paste!)...
Mais j'ai aussi rencontré Wendy Vecchi (suis impatiente d'avoir sa pâte à craquelure!)...
I missed her so, Nathalie Kalbach! Good to see you again, Nath! (did you see jer new stamp line? yummy!)
Elle m'a tellement manquée, Nathalie Kalback! Ca fait du bien de te revoir, Nath! (z'avez vu ses nouveaux tampons? joliiiiii)
And last but not least: Dina Wakly! Keep an eye out for her new Ranger product line, especially the paints look very appealing to me!
Et en grand final: Dina Wakly! Gardez les yeux ouverts pour sa nouvelle ligne de produit chez Ranger, surtout ses peintures m'ont l'air très appétissantes!
So, you are still here! Good! Because this is where the fun starts for you!!
I didn't come back empty handed and i have a crazy give away coming up. Crazy?? Yes!!
It includes original art by Nathaly, Finnabair and Dina and some stash straight from CHA! I will have a NY recap on Sunday. If you leave a comment on each recap, i will enter your name twice for the draw. One comment = one chance at winning. Simple as that. Ready? Comment! And don't forget to check back on Sunday for my NY recap!
Hé ben, vous êtes toujours là! Bien! Car c'est ici que la partie amusante commence pour vous!!
Je ne suis pas revenue les mains vides et j'ai quelques cadeau de la mort qui tue pour vous!!
Inclus des réa originales de Nathalie, Finnabair et Dina et du matos en provenance directe du CHA! Je posterai un message sur mon séjour à NY ce dimanche. Si vous laissez un commentaire sur chaque récit de voyage, j'entrerai votre nom deux fois pour le tirage au sort. Un commentaire = une chance de gagner. C'est aussi simple que ça. Prêt? Commentez! Et n'oubliez pas de revenir dimanche pour mon récit sur NY!
That looks like it was a blast, France. Wish you could've made it to Austin!
RépondreSupprimerFrance, thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. I've enjoyed seeing all the fun you had on facebook. Sounds like a great time, I'm looking forward to hearing more. Let me know when things settle down for you, maybe we can fit in our skype session? Shari (cricutrookie)
RépondreSupprimerHere I am. All primed and ready to win. I followed you through your whole journey and back home again. I had fun too. :)
RépondreSupprimerOh, Je suis....
RépondreSupprimerNot fluent anymore. Really wish I were, cannot express my jealousy so well in English?!
Wow, what an amazing journey on so many levels! You must be buzzing with excitement (or will be when jetlag allows)...
You know though, you are a talent in your own right! Trust me, I only follow top talent, lol.
Can't wait to see what creations are next from you! Will be back to read more in both languages! Tfs so far.... C :))
So jealous! All my heroines and you! I hope one day, better be soon, Im1 60 , I will be able to amle around and see all your generations greatness. In the 70s in Berkeley, I remember having a hand drawn book of *womans* liberated organic art or something. I did every single thing in the book. I learned to macrame, tie dye, etc. Now you all have the world at your finger tips. I am not sure if this is good or bad but I know I can't keep up and I am young for 60!
RépondreSupprimerGlad you had fun France, please do not forget us slow learners and beginners!
Love reading about your adventures! It all looks like to much fun, especially meeting so many talented artists. Can't wait for the giveaways!
RépondreSupprimerGlad you enjoyed yourself and that your trip was filled with lasting memories!! Cant wait to see what you will create next!!
RépondreSupprimerThanks for sharing your experiences! I love learning from you. Can't wait for the next post!!!
RépondreSupprimerI have enjoyed following you on your CHA and NY travels and look forward to seeing what wonderful creations the experience will inspire. Thanks for the update . . . I now have a few more blogs to go and check out :)
RépondreSupprimerThank you for all the wonderful things you posted on your CHA adventure. It was so nice to live it through your eyes for those of us who couldn't be there. It must be so surreal to be there in person, trying to see and do so many things in such a short amount of time.
RépondreSupprimerEveryone you took your photo with are people that I follow on line - yes, I am an art stalker! I am so jealous of all of you that went to CHA to see all the new goodness first hand and now can't wait to get my hands on some of it!
RépondreSupprimerWhat a round up of creative people. Must have been a fantastic trip. Glad you had fun! Can't wait to see you using new products
RépondreSupprimerI so enjoy you & your art!! Thank you for telling us about the fun you had!! I always look forward to more!! Have fun!!
RépondreSupprimerWell! Imagine my surprise when you wrote about Karen Ellis of Ontario, Canada. I had to check it out because I live in Ontario! Now, Ontario isn't small - you could drive for 24 hours and still be in Ontario - so I thought the chance of the Art House Studio being close was pretty small. Wrong! 30 minutes away! Thanks for your recap, and the introduction to Karen Ellis!
RépondreSupprimerHi there!!! :) How wonderful! I hope i get a chance to meet you too, barbandemily ;)
SupprimerI am enjoying all your art and videos! I am a frightened, shivering newbie but no more! Thanks!
RépondreSupprimerYou took a trip to Craft Nirvana, shared as much as you could with us during that time, met all the present Greats & came back with magical ArT to share.
RépondreSupprimerWho could ask for more. Thanks for thinking of your Followers! So glad you were enriched as i know we will benefit from that here on your Blog.
I am also doing the DLP project via Robin-Marie's Blog prompts, her work is awesome. Looking forward to following your Journey too:-) xxx
What an amazing collection of talent! You look like you had a wonderful time. :)
RépondreSupprimerWhat an amazing time CHA must have been. Can't wait to read all your re-caps and see what you've been up to - lucky you!!!
RépondreSupprimerI only wish I could have been there to see you in person! What a group of rock stars…I really have to go to one of these. You look so happy in the pictures :) It makes me smile wide.
RépondreSupprimerThat is a trip I would love to make one day....until then I will continue to live vicariously through posts like this one. Thanks!
RépondreSupprimerFrance... so amazing to read about CHA and start to hear it from an insiders point of view. Glad you had a good time,
RépondreSupprimercomme je t'envie d'avoir fait ce voyage <3 un jour peut être. Tu y allais à titre individuel ou pour représenter une de tes DT ? en tous cas merci de nous faire partager ton séjour <3
RépondreSupprimerAna, je suis membre du CHA en tant que Designer à titre personnel :)
SupprimerJ'aime les étoiles qui remplissent tes yeux sur ces photos !!!!
RépondreSupprimerEt comme l'impression que tu es revenue avec une tonne de projets créatifs de ce voyage aux States ;-)
Bzzzz
Hee France, ik was mijn normale kleur toen ik begon met lezen, maar langzamerhand werd ik steeds groener haha! Wat lijkt me dat heerlijk om naar de CHA te gaan. Jammer genoeg zit dat er voor mij niet in als leerkracht. Ik kan nooit vrij zijn tijdens de periodes dat de CHA wordt gehouden. Misschien als ik met pensioen ben haha! Leuk om al die foto's te zien! Liefs Frea
RépondreSupprimerYou packed a lot into your few days at CHA - it sounds such fun, I wish I could go. There are so many new products that I'd love to try, I will be quite quite poor when I finish buying things!! Looking forward to your giveaways - thank you!
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup pour ce compte rendu. J'ai vu quelques videos tournées au cours du CHA, notamment avec Dyan. Je t'envie!!
RépondreSupprimerLieve France fijn dat je het zo leuk hebt gehad en ik kon zien dat je genoten had. Het lijkt me geweldig om naar de CHA te gaan. Ook fijn voor ons fans dat je weer veilig thuis bent, liefs Helles.
RépondreSupprimerJaloers makend al die stralende foto's van je, geweldig France een stukje hemel op aarde waar je terecht kwam, heerlijk om te zien!
RépondreSupprimerquelle chance extraordinaire ! moi je stresse juste pour prendre le TGV ;-) on attend la suite ....
RépondreSupprimerpfffft quel trip ! J'ai bien hâte de voir tout ce que tu vas créer dans les semaines à venir !
RépondreSupprimerwow what a journey!! glad you had a fantastic time, I am so jealous that you got to see all those new goodies and watch all the demos!! Roll on sunday xx
RépondreSupprimerI'm mostly jealous about you meeting all those lovely people! Of course the art and products is great too, but isn't it all about the lovely friendships you get through all of this?
RépondreSupprimerI must say I'm a little jealous! Seems like you had a brilliant time :)
RépondreSupprimerThe fun you had radiates from your smile France. Looking forward to part 2. Welcome back X
RépondreSupprimerI've been following your pics on instagram and I have seen how much fun you have had. thanks for doing this recap for us. Are you going to make a blog post about products you liked in particular and impressions on trends? It would be great… just saying of course ;-)

RépondreSupprimerGreetings from Sally in France
So happy for you France! glad you had a great time- hope to meet you myself- who knows, maybe next year!
RépondreSupprimerI think you got a photo with all the best designers...I wish I could call Finn my friend. I am in love with her style and work. I want to do one of her classes one day...it is on my bucket list.
RépondreSupprimerSo great to meet you for real France! I miss you and the palm trees already!
RépondreSupprimerAmy*
Ps I can't wait to see your creative magic on the ATB's!
PPS The folks at the airport broke my trolley for GOOD...snapped the wheels clear off during transit...looks like I will not be riding escalators (illegally) with it ever again :)
So great to see you together with the rest of the "stars" :) I am also looking forward to all new weeks with JournalOnMonday coming up!
RépondreSupprimerWow! What a trip! Thanks for sharing photos of all these art-rock stars. Including you. I'm so glad you had a good time, and that you've arrived safely back home. Can't wait to see what you've learned and discovered. You are so kind to share with your followers! Thanks!

I can't believe you didn't eat it all the minute you opened that tiny bag. I need to send you some more! It was so awesome to meet you! I have a new friend!!!
RépondreSupprimerI caught up with Marjie's CHA Round Up yesterday, then enjoyed yours with coffee this morning! So many familiar faces, some I have been lucky enough to meet in real life, others just from this crafty internet world! Glad you were able to connect with so many people there, France! Also glad you are again safely home. I imagine that not only your family, but your beautiful mares missed you!! Mwah! KayW
RépondreSupprimerSo glad you are back to create wonderful things for us to see and learn.
RépondreSupprimerGreat to see all the faces to go with the names I've read about. Thank you.
RépondreSupprimerHow wonderful to have made that trip and to be able to spend time with each one of those talented artists! I know you had an extraordinary time because you were radiant in every single photo! :-) I cannot wait to hear more!
RépondreSupprimerMerilee
What fun! CHA sounds like it would be exhausting. Exhilarating, but exhausting. I'm sure all of these ultra-talented artists were just as excited to meet you, France. Welcome Home!
RépondreSupprimerIk had al in de gaten dat je je enorm geamuseerd hebt, ik durf wedden dat je overloopt van inspiratie
RépondreSupprimergroetjes
