A Day at Pinners Conference in Pomona!

I hadn't really planned for sure if I was going to go to Pinners in CA this year but my friend Helen messaged and asked me if I might be going. Another friend of ours, LaWanna, had expressed interest in going so we worked it out that we would go one day - Friday - do the general admission ticket which let us access all the booths to shop + make & takes and then a ticket to participate in the girls night out from 4-8pm and that included 1 class.

Pinners Conference - Pomona, CA!

 

For the last couple of years I've been able to attend Pinners conference in Arizona. I started out by attending in Utah years ago when this conference first became a thing. I've been to the one in California once a few years ago but this year to come back again! Check out what I got to do and see over Friday & Saturday.

April Pinterest Party 2022

April's theme was Spring and Easter. The majority of people who voted on a date for the party voted for the 28th so of course, Easter was over but I planned a couple Easter'ish crafts anyways. Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate!

Craftcation Volunteering Experience

 

I have 2 sets of dates for volunteering for Craftcation so this post will be covering the first 2 days I went to Brea to volunteer. I had no idea what to expect. I have volunteered for Craftcation before but during the conference. Never beforehand!

Sweet Things Pinterest Party!

 

**This post may contain affiliate links** 

It feels like quite a while since I last did a Pinterest party! Probably because this one wasn't until the end of May pretty much but that's the date that was voted on so here we are :) The theme for this party was Sweet Things. A BRAND NEW THEME. I've been so stoked for this party because I had been saving items for swag and decorating for quite a while in hopes of finding the perfect month to do this theme in. It was definitely not a party I wanted to do virtually. Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate!

January California Virtual Pinterest Party

 

First Pinterest party of 2020 is a Valentine and love themed one. There were 5 ladies who were able to attend virtually. I was out delivering the supplies the day of the party but still had about thirty minutes or so when I got home. That's better than last month where I had to delay the party by 15 minutes because I got home right at 7 from delivering supplies. Eek! Keep reading to see what we made and the food too! Here's the link with inspiration that I found for the food and crafts.

First Ever - Virtual Pinterest Party 2020

 

**This post may contain affiliate links**

While I was in Idaho for Thanksgiving, I made the decision to jump to doing Pinterest parties virtually starting in December instead of January due to covid. Parties are soo much more fun (imo) in real life but I didn't want to completely stop doing them (like unfortunately happened over the summer) so the only other option there is right now is to try and do them virtually. This proves tricky in a lot of ways and I was nervous to start up this way of doing things but it worked out pretty decent. Keep reading to see what we made and ate.

Christmas / Disney Pinterest Party

 

 **This post may contain affiliate links**

Thrilled to be able to do another in-person Pinterest party. I kept the group small again and the theme, as you can see, was Disney crafts and Christmas crafts.  We ended up with 2 Disney crafts, 1 Christmas and pretty much all Disney themed food. So funny. Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate!

 

Halloween / Fall Themed Pinterest Party!

**This post may contain affiliate links**

I am super excited to share a Pinterest party I was able to host this month - the first one since February! It's been a long break, one I was a little happy to have, I'll admit, but also very sad that it lasted this long. No more breaks! I am going to do Pinterest parties at least once a month again. Here in CA or Utah or maybe a new state! Keep reading to see what we ate and made at this party.

California Valentine Themed Pinterest Party!

*This post contains affiliate links*

I couldn't wait to host the first Pinterest party of 2020 here in Ridgecrest, CA out in my beloved she shed. The theme was Valentine's and in past years I've struggled to find good crafts that aren't too kid'ish but this year, there were so many good ideas I had trouble narrowing it down! Keep reading to see what we made and what we ate.

November California Christmas Pinterest Party

**This post contains affiliate links**

I have been really excited about this Pinterest party theme for some reason. Christmas. I usually do nothing Christmas until after Thanksgiving but for some reason this year I feel like if I wait, I get to enjoy all my decorations less. That's one part. I mean, I store them in the she shed in tubs for 11 months out of the year - that's quite awhile!  Maybe I just want to soak in the holiday spirit a little longer this year. It's hard to ignore when every single store I walk in to has holiday items on shelves and they are playing holiday music. What's a girl to do?! So, I present to you the Christmas Pinterest party that I hosted last night here in Ridgecrest, CA.

Sculpey Clay Party with Tryazon!

I was super stoked to get an email from Tryazon that I had been selected to host one of their parties. I've tried for a few years, gave up for a bit, then tried again. I am a huge fan of Sculpey clay - I used to use it a ton when I was a teenager so I was so excited to try these products out with some friends!

California Fall Theme Pinterest Party 2018

I've been excited about this fall theme for a bit now so it was nice to finally get it all planned and finalized. This is the table set up before any food was put on it. I got the tablecloth from Joann's for 60% off or something crazy like that. Great deal!

August Pinterest Party - Cactus & Succulents

**This post contains affiliate links**

Hello and welcome to another Pinterest party post! This Pinterest party I'd been anticipating and was feeling excited for all month because of the theme and it's also been a bit since I last hosted a Pinterest party in California. It's still a struggle to get people to attend and I wish I knew how to solve that problem. I mean, it's free to come! You get to make cute stuff! All I ask is that people bring a food and I provide some as well, + crafts. I don't think it really gets easier than that. I'm still thinking about changing my strategy in the future. Anyways..keep reading to see what we made and ate!
