The Snap Conference 2012.
I’m still on a “SNAP high”. This last weekend was the Snap Conference. It was so much fun to welcome 325 creative/DIY/craft/sewing/party bloggers to the conference and to Utah. I had the honor of being a part of the Snap Team headed by Tauni (our fearless leader), working side by side with some of the most real and inspiring bloggers I know. I feel so thankful to call them my sweet friends. The conference was a big success, the speakers inspired us all, the food was excellent, the swag was fantastic and the weather was perfect.
*Before I start my recap, I have to give a HUGE shout out to my main man, the love of my life: Kyle. He was able to work from home this last week, staying home with the kids, allowing for me to basically be gone all week even though I wasn’t very far from home. He is so supportive of everything I do with this blog, and I’m so thankful for him.
A post like this is so intimidating to write, because you are surrounded by…and you meet so many great bloggers at a conference like this, that I fear I might leave someone out in the recap. So instead, I thought I’d share a little *photo recap of my awesome experience at Snap 2012.
Just know that I LOVED dancing the night away with you, crying with you (you know who you are), laughing my head off with you, staying up most the night with you, crafting and *not crafting with you, eating with you, shopping with you, stuffing swag bags with you, decorating the big red barn with you, exchanging blog cards with you, Instagraming with you, tweeting with you, AND giving you the biggest hug to say THANK YOU for all the love and support I have felt from you over the last few months (probably the hardest months of my life). Oh…and I loved your colored jeans! 🙂
My biggest take away from Snap which also seemed to be a recurring theme: Just Be You!
Be Yourself.
I love that image above shared by Ana White as a great reminder to all of us.
Kami,
I’m so glad you had a great time.

It was SO fun to meet you officially, Kami! And to chat for a bit! You have always been one of my favorites! 🙂 Great job putting all of it together!
Kami, it was so nice to meet you and get to talk to you for a few moments. You are so kind and sweet. And yes, I loved your colored jeans! Next year my new friend, next year I will be rockin’ a pair. Unless they’re no longer in style, then it’s back to plain dark denim. hehehe. I’m so glad you had such a wonderful time, you deserve it! And all of you ladies who helped Tauni put Snap together deserve to have a week long vacation now!
I got to see you from afar but I wasn’t able to connect with you (too nervous!!). Thanks for helping create such an amazing conference! I had a fabulous time!
I love you friend! so glad we were able to see each other again! it needs to be more often though! xoxo

I adore you more then you will ever know! i walked away from that night a new person. Sounds corny I know but I really did! So happy we got to work together all year and see the hard work pay off in such a great way! Bring it on SNAP13.
