This is NOT my Creative Estates post....

....I had to prepare you....because you KNOW Lisa took some amazing photos....I just haven't had a chance to upload and write about all the fun yet! These are MY photos...from the infamous iPhone that I couldn't figure out for 2 months. Melanie from Above All Fabric is my hero and figured out what was wrong and I was finally able to post some photos on Facebook and Twitter while I was at the Creative Estates conference the last few days.

In short:
1. I didn't want to mix my lame iPhone photos with Lisa's gorgeous SLR photos.
2. I feel so inspired to return back to my "old blogging roots" that I couldn't wait to write about something....anything.
3. Creative Estates was.....the best. And I haven't yet figured out how to put the whole experience into words.....


Here are my three....yes, THREE.....photos from the last few days:

Driving to the conference:


Lisa and I at the handmade market:


Here is Becky Higgins talking about balancing small business and motherhood. She and the rest of the panel (Melanie from Above All Fabric, Megan of Brassy Apple, and Becki of Whippy Cake) were super inspiring and gave a ton of practical advice:


I felt like the time just flew by and before I knew it the conference was over and I only got the chance to meet a handful of people!

My parents are visiting and this morning no one woke me up.....I slept until 10:30am....the latest I've slept in 4 years! Look....no puffy eyes:


Boo served me "breakfast" in bed:


We went for our daily donut...I haven't had a donut in 3 days!


And then we lounged in the sunshine for the rest of the afternoon :)


Stay tuned for the REAL Creative Estates post in a day or so :)

    ugh, so wishing I had listened to my friend about 3 months ago and signed up to go, it all sounds fab. And how is it possible that you eat a donut every day?! seriously girl, that's some great metabolism you must have. Super jealous! xoxo
