Haven 2012 kicked off with Young House Love!

See what I mean, he just kept on~reFresh can you come on up here~no, not right now,

I’m sitting in front of Miss Mustard Seed and someone might take my seat. ย 

I love John and Sherry, they are a dynamic duo!

I can’t wait for their book!

Speaking of books,

Miss Mustard Seed wrote oneย too!

Put me on the list, I want one!

Not only did she write a book this year, she also has a line of milk paint coming out soon!

In the Advanced Painting class we got to try milk paint, I want some!

Beckie from Infarrantly Creative

Beckie’s class All About Advertising was awesome. ย I would tell you about it, but I was sworn to secrecy, it was way over my head. ย I am going to have to repeat this class ๐Ÿ˜‰

Beth is a pro, I mean who knew that I needed chocolate with her business card attached!

and then there was

Angie, she had a scratch off lottery ticketย 

with her picture underneath, how creative!ย

Everyone’s business card was so unique.

 

Ana White was just this pretty too!

Speaking of pretty, sweet and just the best room mates in the world:

Karah from The Space Betweenย in the middle,ย ย and Kristen from Pearl Gateway on the right. ย And sleepy, half smiling me on the left.

I didn’t give any candy or gum away with my business cards, but I did get my friend Creative Carmella to hammer out these cute necklaces for me and my roomies. ย A little reminder of this awesome conference.ย 

Kevin, Layla ย from The Lettered Cottageย and

Josh from Shoot Fly Shoot

ย (Kevin and Josh’s photo training classes)

I didn’t get pictures of everyone that I wanted to and I had way too many blurry ones, thankfully there will be several Haven posts! ย I did much better this time than I did at Becoming ๐Ÿ™‚

My post is missing so many of the talented people that were there! ย Check them out:

Haven Speakers

ย I can’t wait to see everyone else’s Haven posts.

Click on this photo to meet the ladies of Haven:

Thanks to everyone that put this together! ย I didn’t want to leave ๐Ÿ™‚

If you have any advice for me, about going to conferences, please share! ย 

I was a bit out of my league!

Sharing at Southern Hospitality!

    1. Debbie! Awesome recap! It was such a pleasure meeting you and getting to know you at Haven! I don’t think I’ll ever forget how you told me that I need to get more excited when meeting “big bloggers”. Or how you shared your love for The Nester with me. You crack me up! And again, thank you so much for picking me up at the airport!

    5. I am so bummed we couldn’t make it to Haven this year. I will have to rearrange my work schedule to make it work next time around. Overall looks like so much fun and we can’t wait to hear what you learned. Loved all the cards! Have a good week!

    7. Hey, Debbie, loved meeting another GA girl & I loved your Southern accent. So glad you had a good time, it was a whirlwind for sure. I was moving so fast & wish I had time to sit down and chat more with all of you. You’re so fun and maybe we can meet up here again one of these days.

    8. you are funny! I wish I had met you. I am beginning to feel like, after I read all these recaps, that I missed the party…and believe it or not….I was actually there. I think I need to repeat the “how to talk to people you don’t know” class. I stink at it and now I just feel sad. Oh well, always next year. right? I love your blog!

    9. Debbie, I’m bummed that I missed meeting you in person at Haven. I guess that means we both need to go next year for sure! Glad you had such a good time. The conference really was quite awesome.

    11. It was great to meet you at Haven! I just couldn’t keep up…lol! How can you say you were out of your league? You fit in perfectly and I thank you for being so friendly! CYA next year!

    12. How amazing! I bet they are going to have to find a bigger venue so everyone that couldn’t go {like moi} can get there! It looks like you had a blast!

    13. Oh Deb, you looked like you had such a wonderful and eventful time!~ I bet it was a great experience for you. I would have been way out of my league there too, however, we can all take and learn something from this whole blogging gig!~ I know at the end of the day, I just want to have fun and share…so that is what I keep on keeping out here. I say one day at a time. We never know what tomorrow brings.
