My favorite part about my career in the craft industry is the opportunity I've had to meet and befriend such creative people. A few of them have some exciting things happening so today I'm giving you the 411. Yay for smart women succeeding at what they love! These gals all have oodles of Super Girlie Good Power and are kicking bootay whilst looking fabulous on a daily basis. HUZZAH!

In case you've been hiding under a rock for the past six months, the creative whirlwind that is The Crafty Chica Kathy Cano Murillo has a new line of inspirational products debuting TODAY at 450 Michaels stores around the country. GO CHICA GO! Here's a link to info about where. Kathy will be going on tour to these stores to promote her products and if she's coming to a store near you, get in to see her. She's as delighful in person as she is in her books, blog and Lifetime TV Webisodes.

Jennifer Perkins, trend spotter and setter, jewelry designer with a deep sense of the joy of kitsch and viral marketing guru has a highly anticipated debut book available on Amazon now! The Naughty Secretary Club promises to be the talk of the water cooler. Jen uses a variety of unexpected office/secretary themed materials to create a book overflowing with inspiration. I can't wait to get my copy and savor every page.

Collage Artist Supreme Ms. Claudine Hellmuth has a brand new line of products she's developed with Ranger Industries. She showed me the paints at CHA and the colors were absolutely delicious. Rich, saturated and totally unlike anything out there. The sticky back canvas has endless possibilities for the jewelry artist and she has a variety of fine art materials fine tuned for the modern mixed media crafter.
