My reviews are based on my personal experience with a product or event. I am not a professional product tester nor do I get paid for any of my blog posts.

The items that I post reviews on, have either been purchased on the internet or through a local vendor. Additionally I will review items that I got on sale, as a gift or as a sample from either the manufacurer or some other source.

Note: always read the manufacturers directions on how to properly use a product and craft carefully. Additionally, I am an Amazon Associate and may earn a few cents (literally) from your clicking on my Amazon links. Since they raised the minimum payout from earnings to $10 I haven't seen a credit for a while but eventually I will get one.

Every penny counts when trying to set a budget to get supplies to use for my reviews, tutorials and hauls. However, you do not have to use my links. You can use your favorite search engine to find the best price for your budget.

Cosplay Costume Designer Mel Hoppe and Designer Mark Montano: Craft & Hobby Mega Show 2014:

The "I Love To Create" booth at the CHA Mega Show had some wonderful displays this year that featured cosplay costumes from Cosplayer Mel Hoppe, and a home decor & dress project from Designer Mark Montano.  Mark Montano shared his story on how "Creativity" affects everything in his life and displayed some of his work.

I love that Mark wrote his story on the fabric and incorporated the story pattern into his dress design.

The "I Love To Create" booth also had a wonderful display of Cosplay Costumes.  If you like Cosplay

then you are probably familar with some of Cosplayer Mel Hoppe's costume designs.

Normally I would have to attend one the cosplay events to get to see these in person.

This was a wonderful opportunity to see some of the cool details that she puts into her costumes.  I really enjoyed getting to see these pieces in person.  Hopefully there will be more cosplay costumes on display next year.
