5 Things that Happened at the CHA #BlogNetworking16 Event

February 15, 2016 by FaveCrafts

November means Thanksgiving. December means Christmas. January means a brand New Year. And if you work at FaveCrafts.com and Prime Publishing LLC, January also means CHA! Every January a group of lucky editors board a plane and head out to sunny Anaheim to explore the Craft and Hobby Association’s Mega Show. In addition to walking the floor of this massive and exciting crafty convention, we also get to throw one heck of a party every year! This is honestly one of our favorite events of the year as editors. It lets us connect with our favorite companies, favorite bloggers, and make brand new friends. If you’ve ever been in a room full of crafty and creative people, you know things can get very animated and exciting. Networking can be a drag in most settings, but with crafters, it is one of the most exciting things we experience every year. Our CHA #BlogNetworking16 was a roaring success and we have all of our crafting buddies and favorite companies to thank for that!

  1. The Prime Publishing editorial staff took a break from editing and crafting to have some fun!

Traveling to California meant we got to step away from our desks, dress up, and meet up with our favorite bloggers and companies. As editors, the Prime Publishing LLC staff loves bringing your engaging content each and every day, but we love getting out of the office,  too!
