Sunday was the last day of Craftcation! Sad day. I can't believe this crafty conference has come to an end for 2023. Nicole and Katie Mac were up on the stage with closing remarks.

Craftcation Conference Fun ~ Day 4!

 

My friend Barbara and I. She's so sweet and fun to talk to! We were in the Saturday morning class together about building an organic community. We were probably 2 of the youngest people in the room, lol. But it was mostly interesting overall. I feel again like I didn't learn a whole lot but it was nice to have a chill start to my morning. 

Craftcation Conference Fun ~ Day 3!

 

 My first class of the day was to attend this panel of ladies who spoke about brands and how to work with them. I got a few good tips but overall I was aware already of everything that was talked about. Still, it was pretty interesting to listen to overall. Here are some of my takeaways...

- Know what my aesthetic is, what is my core story

- Everyone has a brand, establish it early on

- Tag brands and use their hashtags. They are taking notes. Brand loyalty is important.

- When pitching, present with 3 tiers so brands have an idea of what you're thinking to do

- No doesn't mean forever, it just means no right now.

Craftcation Conference Fun ~ Day 2

 

 

I started the day with a Dye-Na-Flow class. 

I don't think I've ever taken a dyeing class at Craftcation and this year I picked 2 to do!

Rachael is someone I've met at Craftcation in the past and also while volunteering in the past. She's super cool and talented and I even bought a cute skirt from her that she was selling when I got to the hotel Tuesday night to help my friend get her luggage to her room.

Craftcation Conference Fun ~ Day 1!

Like last year, my friend and I went to Disneyland before heading to Ventura. I'll recap that in a different blog post. Heading towards Ventura on Tuesday evening we got to enjoy a very pretty sunset. 

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!
