The DecoArt crew has arrived in sunny California.

The booth arrived on the show floor packed in crates and packed on pallets.

After many hours of sweat and hard work, the booth will be ready for visitors this morning.

In addition to setting the booth up, DecoArt sponsored a couple of mixed media workshops before the show started.

Marjie Kemper's class was on Thursday and the focus was on living creatively while making a mixed media clayboard panel. The workshop featured DecoArt Media product. Some of the other great sponsors of the event were: Ampersand Art Supply, Stampendous!, Marvy Uchida, Imagine Crafts, and The Funkie Junkie Boutique. 

Tracy Weinzapfel's class was on Friday and they created lovely "Life is Good wood art panels using a variety of DecoArt products. Students were from all over the world, the furthest traveling from Israel. Andy Skinner even stopped by for a visit! A big thanks to Ampersand Art Supply for supporting this workshop as well.

The night ended with an awesome Block Party. It was a little chilly, but the atmosphere was exciting and warm. The food was yummy too and we sure do love food trucks!

Here is the schedule for all of the exciting booth activities on Satruday.
