I spent last weekend at the 2014 Craft and Hobby Mega Show. I was one of the designers in the iloveToCreate booth. I’m so proud, because our booth always ROCKS with creativity and wow factors. Here are a slew of pictures!
iLovetoCreate hosted a cool event called “Creative Refresh” for bloggers and designers to relax and get pampered.
Here is a video showcasing our new Tulip Hair Chalks!
