Snap Conference Friday!

 

One thing I love about Snap conference (among many things) is the food. I guess the menu has stayed roughly the same the past 3 years I've come but it is tasty and delicious so no complaints there. I do notice after my 3rd year attending that things have gone downhill a bit which I am so sad to say, but I see a turnaround happening for next year!

Eat Dessert First Party at Snap!


The best Snap opening party I've ever been to! This was my 3rd year attending Snap conference which is a blog conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. I got recruited by my friend Rhonda to help our friend Christie set up the party, work at it during and take everything down at the end. I'm so glad I said yes because it ended up being quite a fun experience. Keep reading for all the details!

May Pinterest Party Theme Announced!



I feel like this party might need a little explaining because it's slightly different than any I have attempted in the past. This theme will be the same for both California and Utah parties.

Thinking of themes for the monthly Pinterest parties can be fun and at times, a little challenging. I don't mind keeping most months the same theme (yes the cactus & succulents party as well as the camping and s'mores party are both likely happening again!) but when it's always fun to switch it up a bit too and I've been wanting to do a favorite things party for awhile and incorporate it with a Pinterest party.

There are various ways a favorite things party can happen but here's how I plan to do it.

Bring 1 wrapped gift. $10 spending limit. Can be various small items or one main item.

At the party you will be given a number and all gifts will be numbered as well.

Bring your favorite food from Pinterest (or a craft for everyone to make if you prefer).

We will eat and craft as usual and then towards the end of the night, or maybe the middle...we will swap gifts / you will take the gift whose number you were given when you arrived.

It'd be nice to open while we are all together and have each person share why they picked the gift they chose to bring.

How about that? Sound so fun? I dont want to overwhelm anyone so I hope everyone who wants to come will be okay with this theme and thought it would be a cool way to get to know people better. 

Let me know if you have any questions and as usual, if you'd like to bring a craft for everyone to make, let me know because I might just have the supplies you need and am totally willing to donate them towards the party.

A Blog Conference Called Snap


I attended a blog conference called Snap that was this past Thursday-Saturday in Salt Lake City at the Little America Hotel. This was my 3rd (and I thought final) year going until Tauni (the organizer) announced some big changes and now I am thinking I will come back for it next year. New people will be running it and I am so excited to see what changes will be made. To be honest, my first year of Snap was amazing, last year was alright but not as good as the first year and this year...well, it depends on why you are going I guess. I love the swag and room drops and secret sister gifts like anybody else but some of that failed (to me) however the connections I was able to make and the classes I was able to take was quite good. Stay tuned as I blog more about this conference.
