WELL HERE I am finally getting around to SNAP the Creative Blog/Business Conference. I will share with you all MY TIPS along the way. ALL THOUGH I DIDN'T TAKE NEAR THE PICTURES I WISHED I HAD, I DID GET SOME. Also, since we are on the subject of pictures-
TIP 1: try really hard to use your nice camera and not your phone one like I did. I realize its easier to snap away with your phone but the quality and memories with your nice camera is so much better.
TIP 2: ROUND UP SOME SUPER AWESOME ROOMIES! OH' YEAH! even if you get pissy because its the last night and you have gone several days on no sleep and no ones seems to crash until after 1:00 in the morning... STILL GET AWESOME ROOMIES! Thanks Desi I stole your pic. Left to Right- Tausha- Sassy Style Design Megan- Brassy Apple Desiree- The 36tH Avenue and me!
TIP 3: BRING YOUR BUSINESS CARDS! and don't be afraid to network yourself. Talk to your peers, your friends, girls that are there for the same thing you are. Hug, shake hands, exchange cards.
I am going to go further with the cards and tell you to do your best to make them STAND OUT! MAKE THEM COUNT!..... "BRAND YOURSELF" Kristy from
The Diary of Daves wife is a perfect example. Her blog is centered around her love of polka dots. "red" too. She wore polka dots a lot at SNAP, which I so loved. She even had polka dots on her cards and HELLO- she even handed out darling polka dot bow earrings with her cards. Her cards were my fav. and she branded her self so WELL! WAY TO GO KRISTY!
TIP 4: take notes in the awesome classes. I did this on my phone under notes. Trust me, you will want the awesome tips and links that the great speakers give you. Darling Cute Brooke from
Studio 5. Loved her talk.
I took a fun Scentsy class, and got some free tarts and was able to make my own scent. Scentsy was a huge sponsor to SNAP and I love Scentsy.
TIP 5: Mingle-meet the girls, THE GIRLS that you look up to, that inspire you. HAVE FUN! Right to Left. me and
Beckie me and
Holly me and
Allison and me and
Desiree
YELLOW was a popular color at SNAP.
Kelli although you can't tell had a yellow cardigan on too with her cute yellow owl necklace. SO FUN!
heart be still, I MET JEN. I had to get two pictures with her and chat with her because one wasn't enough. Seriously, you will never meet a sweeter person in your life unless it was my grandmother Wilma. Jen- is the real deal, and they don't get sweeter then her. She truly is genuine and so humble too. LOVE HER!
(see this is an example of wishing I used my nice camera and not my phone. OH' WELL.)
SHELLEY- "NO WAY- REALLY?" SHE IS SO BUBBLY AND SO CUTE. LOVE HER TOO.
I got to meet
Amy Cornwell- The talented jewelry designer and creator. She made these necklaces you see below for EVERYONE that attended SNAP. THE SNAP MOTTO WAS
"Just Be You" I cannot tell you enough how true that is. Be you in all you do and say, and you will shine through. I will treasure my necklace forever. Thanks Amy!
Everyone was SO SPOILED Oh' My the SWAG BAG... WOW! We were spoiled from the beautiful grounds- "HELLO TULIPS" the delicious dinners, and the so yummy lunches. HELLO GIANT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE! You will listen to amazing speakers, you will laugh, you may cry, and you will feel inspired.
THE QUEEN BEE MARKET WAS AH-MAZING, TRULY AH-MAZING! I loved all the creativity and the creative booths. I totally walked out of there with a handful of stuff... HELLO DUH!
All the DELICIOUS DINNERS, SOME OF THE SPEAKERS, THE QUEEN BEE MARKET, AND THE FUN KILLER FUN DANCING WAS ALL HELD IN THIS GIANT Barn at
Thanksgiving Point in Utah.

WHAT AN AMAZING TEAM TAUNI AND THE SNAPPETS ARE! A HUGE HUGE THANK YOU TO THEM AND ALL THEIR HARD WORK AND LOVE.
UNTIL NEXT YEAR..... JEN
