I just uploaded all my photos to this Flickr set, which will give you a tiny window into the scope of glorious geekery. And I missed a ton of the cool things that were going … Read On! There’s More!  Whew! You just let me know when you’re sick of hearing about CHA, okay? In case you have a truly insatiable appetite, I’m also posting some reviews of other interesting new products I saw at the show. Those are over at CraftStylish. Thus far I’ve reviewed: The Yudu, from Provo Craft – an all-in-one home … Read On! There’s More!  This news traveled around the web a bit before CHA, so I’m not saying anything new: Paris Hilton launched a new line of craft kits at the show.
