local eats

Finally made it to Lo Lo’s Chicken and Waffles and none too soon as they are about to be featured on a TLC show about comfort food. That means the place will be packed and they’ll have to start taking reservations. Eight of us went together to this fun local dive and we all really enjoyed the waffles and the chicken. The sides were mediocre but hey if you just eat what they tell you to – the chicken and the waffles your fine! Afterward we ventured around the corner to the Papago Brewery. I thoroughly enjoyed my coconut and coffee stout mmmmmm . . . . . beer dessert!

Craft Celebs and other cuties

A few other CHA shots I have to post. The first few are shots from a pen booth. A dress made from pen caps – ooh la la. Then a shot from the Provo Craft Party of Megan Nicolay (Generation T) and Mark Montano (Big Ass Book of Crafts) both of whom have new books out. I had to take a shot of Sarah Moore of CraftCritique tote bag covered in cool buttons. There is a shot of me chatting it up with Gabi from CraftWell, one of me and my mixology buddy Erin Basset of creativitE and a shot of me with the Queen of crafts herself Aleene of Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue! What fun we had!

CHA ooo la la

First day at Super Crafts Show / Craft and Hobby Association Convention (CHA) was a whirlwind of activity. We work at the Provo Craft booth all day chatting with conference attendees about the YUDU.

Also, some props out to other friends we made fun projects with during breaks. Craftster folk making buttons, Plaid folks busting out the Mod Podge, cute stuff at taylored expressions and the Zip Dry glue peeps. Oh yes and my girl Sarah from S-Spencer Studios and finally a whoot out for Scrapbook Royalty who does so much good charity work.

We were welcomed with a fun balloon lounge. We walked around for a bit before settling into to screen posters for attendees. I have so much more to blog about but since it’s sprinkling we need to run over to the Convention Center. More soon . . .
