Yesterday at the Craft and Hobby Association Winter Trade Show, I got to walk the floor and see a bunch of cool new products, and I even got to do a couple make and take projects like this bib necklace kit. It was fun to get crafty after a few days of walking and talking.
The LA Convention center is so huge! I have only seen about half of the exhibits so far and I have been here for 2 days. Today’s my last day to get it all in, but I probably won’t be able to. There are so many cool things to see, and a ton of eye-catching displays. These paper gowns were fabulous.
This is a close up of the ruffles on one of the dresses on the runway. The papers are beautifully patterned and foil stamped. Of course, the dresses were for display only – no wearing these paper dresses!
One of my favorite booths was the Pantone paint booth. They had super cool Pantone swatch folding chairs, and I was lucky enough to snag a gift bag in Honeysuckle (color of the year!).
I want to tell you more and share more photos, but I have to get ready to go again. I’ll be updating my Twitter (@dollarcraft) in real time today with photos.

It sounds like an incredible experience! What a fabulous opportunity. My friend Holly from 504 Main had the opportunity to go and work with DecoArt. I wish I could have stowed away in her suitcase and had the opportunity to see all the latest in greatest in crafts and rub elbows with some of my favorite bloggers! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
