I was offered the unexpected chance on Monday of visiting CHA in Anaheim next week, and have siezed it with both hands! I leave tomorrow, flying to LA where I'll get to have a sneaky peek around Hollywood before embarking on three full-on days of craft, craft craft. I'll take a big suitcase to leave space for the ideas, product samples and make + takes I'm sure to collect along the way. I'm bracing myself for my first long-haul flight - got my neck pillow and ipod packed, so should be OK. If anyone else is going, or has any survivial tips, let me know!

Hello there - a quick first blog on this brilliant new website! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone out there is up to, and finding out what you're all crafting. It's really cool to have such a global site - especially as so many fab trends start in the US as well as the UK. So I'll be keeping up to date with that, as well as having a general nosy around the site and other people's blogs 'n' stuff.

Hope to see mycraftivity.com go from strength to strength!
