Creative Estates -- Recharging my Creativity!!

I spent an amazing weekend at Creative Estates. 

It was wonderful being around so many creative, beautiful women! Plus, we were in Arizona and the weather was so nice {except for Saturday - lol}. 

I learned so much, I laughed so much -- it was AMAZING!!! 

I just HAD to share a few pictures and details with you!!

The first thing we did was check out an AMAZING fabric/trim store from our fabulous AZ guide -- Becki from Whippycake. Do you know Whippycake? Becki makes the MOST amazing rosettes. Seriously, you fall in love with her creations. I think by the end of the conference that every girl at the conference was sporting a Whippycake creation!

Then we went to the amazing Cupcakes and Cocktails event. 

So much fun!!

And then I spoke at a panel on How to Post on a Creative Blog. My panel mates were amazing -- Kim @ Today's Creative Blog, Cindy @ Skip to my Lou and Amy @ The Idea Room!! 

Then Friday night I was able to attend an amazing

Girls Night Out!!!

We also got a fun shot of a bunch of us with our Jo Totes bags.  

We love them!!
