Creative Estates….Where do I start?

Man, that was fun!

Why do I always forget to take pictures?  I get too caught up in enjoying myself and the camera never comes out.

I’ve borrowed a few, though, so you won’t get too bored.

First up, HUGE thanks to the 2 ladies that spoke with me about blogging authentically and letting your personality show on your blog:

Shelley from House of Smiths and Stephanie from The Daily Blarg

I’ve had a couple people ask what I thought the most important thing I said was.  So, I’m going to go with the things I saw being passed along on Twitter.

My new motto: “You will never regret behaving appropriately.”

When asked about how I deal with competition: “There is no competition to be me, and that’s what I’m doing.”

And “Don’t compare your worst to someone else’s best.”

Deep, right?  You thought all I did was stick my finger up my nose.  Ha!

I also need to throw out a  public thanks to the AZ GNO ladies, Steph, Kristyn, and Kendra, for a FABULOUS time.

And you girls that were at my table that night that I really should have taken a picture of?  HILARIOUS.  I’m making a Chanel bag right now.  Winking smile

Um, what else?

Oh yeah.  The girls of room 333:  Michelle from A Little Tipsy and Lara from Less Cake More Frosting.  I adore you both.  Thanks for the late night hilarity.

Here’s where I want to make a long, long list of all the other fabulous women I met, but I know I’ll miss someone.  If you’ve posted about Creative Estates, leave me a comment with a link so I can come check it out, will ya?

I’m looking forward to next year (in SLC, woo!) already.

    "There is no competition to be me."

    You were one of my favorite people this weekend, and that's saying something… cuz there were lots of lovelies. You are too much fun, and my sides are still stitched from laughing Sat. night. Kisses!

  5. I'm so glad I got to meet you. The panel discussion was amazing. I don't remember when I've laughed so hard and also learned a lot at the same time. I can't wait for next year. I had such a great time. You rock! Oh, my husband loves your blog name.

  6. Can it be!?!? You are saying Creative Estates will be in SLC??? I hope so because my heart will be SO happy! I was so close to going this year but then my hubby got cold feet and was nervous for me to go by myself. But I'm a SLC'er so I could go NEXT year!! Sweet!

    I thought it looked like a ton of fun…and I'm so sad I missed out! I can't wait for next year!

    You remind me alot of myself…I'm really crazy funny, loud, kind and fun! Of coarse I don't have a clue how to write like that..LOL

    I try my hand at funny on FB and while the people that know me get it…. most of the others don't…I'm way too scared to try it on my blog…..I NEVER take myself too serious

    I just have fun….
