I’ve been back from SNAP for 3 days now and I’m still processing. I’m trying not to let my overwhelm make me unproductive. I have a tendency to let that happen. I’m attempting to take action today. The sun shining bright today might derail me but I think that’s acceptable. Ha!

Anyhow I learned a lot of valuable information this weekend from a lot of talented and inspiring women. I was also brave enough to introduce myself to quite a few of them. This was a struggle at times. I worried I wouldn’t have anything to say or that I’d say the wrong thing. It helped to remind myself that the woman on the other end has the same worries.

A few of my favorite classes from the weekend included:

Basic blogging tips taught by Desiree of The 36th Avenue, Sarah of Thrifty Decor Chick, and Amy of the Idea Room.

DIY lighting and electrical tutorial taught by Brittany of Pretty Handy Girl and Sandra of Sawdust and Paperscraps.

How to effectively use affiliate links taught by Jessica of the Creative Mom.

How to plan, launch, and grow a handmade business taught by Amy Cornwell, Diana of Livy Love Designs, and Katie of Vintage Rose Wraps.

Working with virtual assistants taught by Alissa of Rags to Stitches and Skye McLain.

Object photography taught by Caroline of Armelle.

Now what to do with all this information?  I guess we’ll see…
