And let the judging begin!

Hi all,
I just wanted to pop in an excerpt from the CHA MediaCenter news release as follows:

Elmwood Park, NJ, USA; July 12, 2012 —The Craft & Hobby Association’s (CHA) panel of celebrity media judges are pleased to announce their picks for the “CHA Hot 20” list of products. The CHA Hot 20 are headlining products that will be introduced at the CHA Sneak Peek Media & Buyer Event on July 16, 2012 during the CHA 2012 Summer Conference & Trade Show held at the Donald E.

The CHA celebrity panel judges selected the “CHA Hot 20” from dozens of new craft products entered in the Innovations New Product Showcase. Media judges include Emmy-nominated television personalities, best-selling authors, craft experts and DIY designers Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza; CHA’s national spokesperson, two-time Emmy Award winner, author, and host of PBS’ Super Simple With Terri O - Terri Ouellette; and Nancy Nally, publisher and editor of Scrapbook Update, a leading online source for scrapbooking industry news and information. 

The following were selected as CHA’s Hot 20 products of the CHA 2012 Summer Show:
