The Flying Unicorns Go to Vegas

Many of the Flying Unicorn Design Team members were fortunate enough to attend CHA this summer in Las Vegas.   CHA is  short for  Craft and Hobby Association and they sponsor trade shows two times a year to roll out new product. 

Thanks to the kind invitation by Alda Stevens to bring us along with her...she took a giant risk with this motley bunch.   I am also certain that some of us ( most of us) will not have this invitation extended any time soon.  hahahaha

The trip was a nice relief for me as I was terribly busy preparing pieces to send to Prima and FabScraps to use as samples for each booth.  I could take the time to relax and celebrate the newest product releases.  However Vegas is no place to relax. 

Here are a few of my photos from Vegas. At least the ones I can show.  I did bring my tripod and had it out on the Vegas strip a few times - dork that I am.  But I can tell you I was NOT the only dork out with a tripod.  The cell phone photos take great shots these days, but I still love my tripod for night shots.
