Queen Bee Recap.

My weekend?
The best.
Driving alone, down the coast, accompanied by some brilliant DMB live trax, courtesy of the lovely Tiffany.
Seeing my crazy plans for my 
booth actually come together.
All of the hard work and neglected 
emails and laundry paying off.
Seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
Being inspired and encouraged.
Shopping.  Did I mention the shopping?
Oh, the shopping.


It was wonderful.  Beautiful.  Fun.  Exhausting.


Thank you Mique and Jess for the thousands of hours of work you put in to each and every detail.


Thank you Jeannett, Lindsey and Courtney for being such great roomies to this very quirky girl.


Thank you to everyone who came to visit and to everyone who shopped from my little 8x4 space crammed full of turquoise and pink.


Now who wants to help me catch up on laundry?

    It was definitely one of the neatest booths there! You could see it from across the room :) Next year I'm saving up so I can splurge on all the goodies I just looked at this year. It was nice to finally meet you in person too!
    Sometimes I get so behind on laundry I wonder if it would just be easier to donate it all and go buy new stuff :D

    I loved your booth. I really wanted to talk to you and you were there, but I also wanted to play it cool so I didn't say anything... mostly b/c when I saw you I started to tear up. Lame, I know! But, you should know that you are amazingly talented and your words speak volumes to my soul. Thank you. I did buy two signs, Grace & Joy (and I bought them for myself, not as gifts!!!). And I love them!
