I am very fortunate to know two Chicas — my Chica here at Chica and Jo and Crafty Chica, otherwise known as Kathy Cano-Murillo. We got to meet Kathy in person at the summer CHA show in Orlando. Kathy is amazing and just reading about everything she does exhausts me. Let’s see, she has published multiple books, she makes her own videos and she is planning a crafting cruise next April. And that is all before I can even get my glue gun heated up!
But the big news is that she has her own line of craft products at Michael’s right now! It isn’t in all of the stores but if you follow the link, you can find a store near you. We have two Michael’s stores in our town and one of them had her line so I ran right over to make a few purchases and take some pictures of her display. I know, it’s such a hardship for me to go to the craft store. I bought two of her glitters and used the purple on my peacock napkin rings I wrote about Wednesday. Her glitter is super-fine and the colors are bright and cheerful, just like Kathy!
Crafty Chica has offered a wonderful giveaway to our readers! I wish I could enter to win but my Chica says that wouldn’t be quite fair. All you have to do to win this awesome prize is leave a comment here by 12:00 AM, Thursday, November 19th, 2009. If you go to your local Michael’s store and email us a photo of Crafty Chica’s display, you can have 3 chances to win! Good luck everyone!
And the winner of 2 new iron on transfers, 3 jars of glitter and an advanced reader copy of her new novel is Susan M!

Our nearest Michael’s is two hours away! I have to buy my craft supplies at our local supercenter!
How exciting!!
Our local Michaels isn’t listed as selling…yet.
Perfect timing! My “local” Michael’s is about an hour away, and DMom and I have a trip planned for this weekend. I hope we have Crafty Chica! I love her blog!
Love your site! Thanks for the incredible ideas. Thanks for the giveaway.

WOw!!! THat is cool!! I will go check it out!!
So fun…I will for sure look at Boise’s Michael’s.
Just throwing my entry in here
. I wish I had ANY craf store here. Getting my hands on decent craft supplies is a tough catch in my area. No Michaels, no Hobby Lobby, no craft section at our walmart, nothing! Any chance to win is better than no entry 
!
We have a Michael’s down the mountain! I’ll have to go look. Congrats on getting your stuff sold there, how cool!
I’m going to have to make a trip to get some of her stuff. It’s about an hour away, but near the mom in-law so no biggie!
I enjoy this website so much and I definitely want to get my name in the draw. You do such fun things on this site.

Oh My—-I will have to go to Michaels and check it out… Sure hope my store is going to carry them.
i will have to check our michaels and see if they have your products in!
thanks for the update–guess I have to go shopping
So lovely! Love Michaels, such a fun store! Next time I’m there I’m going to look for the display!
My nearest Micheal’s is about 40 minutes away, but I’ll go there and check it out!!
Hey i found you on facebook and been following you for a few weeks now. What can I say Chica is a total inspiration for me. I will have to go check out the products!!
Congratulations and will have to check out Michael’s next time I get to town!!
Wow, What an awesome site. I love The Crafty Chica and sooooo wish we had a Micheat’s Store near here. I think the closest is Wichita and I’m not planning a long road trip any time soon. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. I’ll be happy with jujst one chance. That’s all it takes, right?!
I love the Crafty Chica! I found her videos on HGTV.com over a year ago and have wanted more ever since. I am so glad Michael’s is now carrying a Crafty Chica line of products! woo hoo!
Kathy has been the “Crafty Chica” inspiration in my life for several years now (since the early days of Get Crafty!). It was so exciting to get her new products here in Miami at Michaels, but sadly only Northern Florida (which is another country…) will have any new Crafty Chica products. Which is sad, because there is a GIGANTIC latin population here in Miami and actually, it was Kathy’s art work that made me excited to live in such a population. Well, i’ve learned a lot about the different latin cultures and for the most part it’s very different here in Miami. No crafty artsy fartsy barely at all. High fallutin art, yes. But REAL PEOPLE art…covered in glitter….NOPE. Sad, sad, sad…
As always “AWESOME JOB” can’t wait to read the next crafty idea!!!!! I’ll have to make a trip to Michael’s just like everyone else.
I want to win!! I love new crafty stuff and a book too!!
Hmmm, a crafting cruise sounds interesting.
Yay!!!! And you have another giveaway! Thank you very much indeed

i’m new here so i’d have to figure out where the nearest store is
Ours doesn’t have yet, but I will be watching for it for sure!
I’ve checked out several of her craft books. They’re great! Please enter me.
Congratulations to our winner, Susan M! Thanks to everyone who entered, and we loved reading your comments. Isn’t Kathy’s stuff the best?
