I'm in Minneapolis, MN for The Creative Connection this week. What an amazing crowd of bloggers and business women! All brought together by Nancy Soriano, Jo Packham, and their fantastic friends and staff.
It
is an honor to be invited as a speaker and panelist. They have put
together a perfect schedule of business-fodder, food, and fun, along
with an impressive Handmade Market.
The event kicks off tomorrow morning with a variety of classes for the attendees. At lunchtime, The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, will join in for some Q & A. Then MaryJane Butters and Amy Butler will speak at the kick-off dinner. I have an autograph party tomorrow night and two panels on Friday, centered on business development, with some meals and meetings in there as well. Saturday morning I'm listening in on another panel, then heading back home. It's a full schedule.
I can't wait.
(It looks like the bio and pig-tailed photo of me on the Creative Connection site are both several years out-of-date. Oops. (No, I'm not introducing my first line of fabric this year.) Here's a more up-to-date portrait courtesy of Charlotte.)
