Close to My Heart Convention Recap #1

I am not even sure where to begin but I do know that part of my summer for the past eight years has been attending this very inspiring conference.  I have made many new friends, connected with those I know from previous conventions and just come home ready to be creative again. 

I can't even begin to recap it all in one post but I will give you a start here...with some art as well.

This year we were in Disneyland and my family joined me.  They got to play in the park while I got to play with new product.  CTMH is so generous with sharing the new product.  Here is the loot I came home with (in no organized fashion, just dumped gently from the suitcase).
