So last month I attended
the SNAP Conference just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. It is a conference for creative bloggers, and let me tell you, it is a big deal for us... lots of fun, lots to learn, lots of blogging related stuff. The fabulous
Duck Brand was kind enough to sponsor my trip, and I will have some Duck Tape related projects to share with you very soon!
The way I figure it, most of you are NOT bloggers.
You might enjoy reading creative blogs, but you certainly are not interested in seeing how the sausage is made. With that in mind, I wanted to share some blogs that I think are great reads and introduce you to some of the new blogs that I am reading as a result of meeting the women behind them.
Starting with my roommates and the amazing women I hung out with in our "Wine Wing" of the hotel after hours. Jennifer from
Always In Wonder, Heidi from
Honeybear Lane and I had an adjoining room with Bev from
Flamingo Toes (my SoCal Social co-founder), Kara at
Mine For the Making and Michele from
The Scrap Shoppe
And we spent so much time with Carolina from
Always Expect Moore and
30 Minute Crafts that it felt like she was a roommate. (That was a good thing!) Each one of these women is amazingly creative and talented. Most of them have sewing tutorials and will walk you through how to make some incredible jewelry pieces as well. (
Bev is particularly brilliant when it comes to the jewelry making...) Both
Heidi and
Carolina make gorgeous quilts too.
I mentioned our "Wine Wing" of the hotel, and that is where we got to meet and get to know some of these incredible women a little bit better...
