{Friday Flair} What Inspires Me

Happy {almost} Friday!!  I am going to take a break from “Who I Am” for a bit and take the opportunity to share some thoughts.

Don’t be fooled… Blogging is HARD. Way harder than I would have ever imagined when my Mom said, “I have a friend named Gabby who has a blog, you’re creative you should start a blog.”  Thanks Mom!  Here’s the break down of that…

My Mom’s friend is Gabby Blair from Design Mom… Wah Wah.  At that time I wasn’t much of a blog reader and I was so naive. Sure, I’ll take a light hearted suggestion from my Mom and become the next Gabby Blair.  Right, that’s not possible! 

Gabby is a super star and Gabby is Gabby, just like Ree is Ree {The Pioneer Woman} and Angie is Angie {Bakerella.} Those spots are already taken and it would be doing yourself an injustice to try to mold yourself to become something that you are not.

Friday Flair Features & a WINNER

2 · · 9 Comments

I am back from a whirlwind weekend in Denver full of all kinds of FUN!!  First, I taught some exciting classes at one of the most amazing fabric shops in the Denver area… Snappy Quilts!!  If you live in Denver I am telling ya, this should be your new fabric Taj Mahal {yes it's seven wonders worthy!!}  After the Snappy Quilt gig I spent Saturday at Bloggy Boot Camp put on by the aaaamazing SITS Girls!  Phenomenal is all I can say about this event.  Tiffany and Francesca know how to put on a blogging conference that is fun, inspirational and very informative. I HIGHLY recommend their one day conference for anyone who is interested in learning the ins & outs of how to create a successful blog. So… That's why our fabulous features are a little late today!  I got in late last night and had to jump back into being Mom so this had to wait until the bus left for school.  I'm sure you all understand! 

 

Here with out any further chit chat from my end…

This is what Caught my eye this week! {stick around… we have a winner announced at the end of the post!}

Happy Monday everyone! I'm running a little slow on the Friday Flair Features this week, sorry!  Not that you guys really care, they are all my very own, self imposed deadlines.

With that said, lets take a look at what caught my eye this week…
