Unique LA was positively amazing! We all had such a great time making fun crafts and teaching the attendees of Unique LA how to make fun stuff! Thanks all for coming by the Craftside Make and Take zone and getting your creative on. Not to mention taking your picture wearing the World's Ugliest Sweater! You wore it well! Here are a few pictures from the weekend:
Here are the Aminekos (from left to right) George, Stan, Rorschach and Jane Doe traveling in style in their Hello Kitty tote bag. I mean really, what else would do? The line to get in was practically around the corner of a giant building. But the giant Christmas tree in the lobby was pretty to look at.
Here's a quick pic of me and the Aminekos in place and ready to go just before the doors opened to the happy holiday shoppers!
A special thanks to Sonja, the woman behind the fabulous Unique LA event! She had a quick second to make a face for the camera in The World's Ugliest Sweater. Such a ham!
This was my favorite Ugly Sweater shot of the day. Is that mom and baby just the cutest thing you ever saw????
Crazy Ugly Sweater photos were not the only thing happening in the Craftside Make and Take zone of course! There were 2 solid days of crafts going on. This was just one quick shot I grabbed of Jeanine Stein author of Re-Bound, Cherryl Greene of Club Scrap and Linda Swingle sharing crafty goodness with Unique LA visitors.
Thanks to our host, our craftinistas, and all who came by and got their craft on with us!
I should also share that the Aminekos and I went out on a photo safari and I will be sure to share photos the mischief we got into soon!
