oohhhhhh snap!

you may have seen some exciting news floating around the interweb… something involving a conference and creative people like yourself and an amazing dream team. if you haven’t, i’m so excited to finally spill the beans on what has been in the works for a while now. i have to pinch myself that i get to be a small part of it:

you all know i love a good conference, but my only complaint about the two i’ve been to is just not reeeallly fitting in. most conferences don’t know what to do with us creative types! and that is why i am thrilled beyond belief about SNAP! this is it. these are my people. they get me. they understand my wacky imaginative brain. and i can guarantee i will walk away from this event a better blogger, a better business owner, and a better human being because of the people i will rub shoulders with and the things we will learn from one another.

if you are wondering why people go to conferences, here is a big reason for me: each conference i have been to has at least doubled my business almost immediately. now if that isn’t the best investment you’ve ever heard of, i don’t know what is! i can only imagine what an impact SNAP will have since it is so specifically geared towards me and my type. so, that’s the logical reason. the heart reason? amazing people. new best friends. connections that make you want to be a better you. gaining confidence in what you do. feeling inspired and renewed.

so, you’ve got a year. start saving now. make it a goal. put it on your calendar. trust me, you will want to be there! there will be so much more *exciting* information to come, including what my sister and i will be doing there, but for now, bookmark it. you won’t want to miss it! you can also keep up to date on twitter and facebook.

can’t wait to meet you there!

 

another addiction

i know, i know, like we need another social media tool to suck our time, but i would feel like a total jerk if i didn’t let you in on my latest favorite inspirational site:

please tell me you’ve visited the genius, genius that is pinterest?

so, why on earth would you need another place to spend your time? why another space to waste your nights away into the wee hours of the morning (no, i’ve never done that… pinky promise…) well, it’s simple. it is eye candy in one space. crafty, colorful, dreamy inspiration with a few clicks.

i’ve only just begun, but i can tell this will be a site i will constantly revisit on those days when i need a cold splash of creativity to the face. do you have those days? i do. and i think i’ve found the solution to “creative block” in the form of complete visual overload.

so, you can follow me over there if you want a peek into my crazy color-obsessed brain, or you can be sure i will be sharing images i’ve found there right here on theee blog. like these:

i could go on and on and on… but, see what i mean? BEAUTIFUL images that give me butterflies and help remind me why i love creativity in the first place. so, if you need that kind of thing, go check it out. if you’re worried about getting sucked in, you will. but what an amazing place to be stuck!
