Meet Me at The Creative Connection in St. Paul Next Week!
I'm heading off to St. Paul, Minnesota next week for The Creative Connection where I am speaking and signing copies of Decorate, so I've already started to prepare my speech and to examine my wardrobe to see what I can wear as standing before hundreds of people giving a keynote is a brand new experience for me! I'm excited, very much in fact, but also a bit shy about the whole hair and wardrobe bit! I've been thinking a lot too about what I'm going to do in St. Paul for 7 days, I know nothing about the city, and this has given me a curiosity now that I'm trying to satisfy through google. :) I found this, which helped, but I'm eager to find out more about St. Paul!
Thankfully, lots of my friends will be at TCC like Leslie, Matthew, Julie, Leigh... but also I'll get to meet Kelly Rae, Heather Bailey and a bunch of other creatives so I'll no doubt have plenty to occupy my time there! I'll also be taking some classes, including those that Leslie is teaching (if you go, you simply must sign up for hers as she has a ton of greatness to share!), and I plan to hit what is a dream pop-up art show for me - one put on right across the street from where The Creative Connection is held, featuring the work of Amy Rice and Jennifer Davis. I adore both of these ladies and everything their hands touch, so the timing couldn't be more perfect. I collect Jennifer Davis' work, I own about 8 original paintings and 1 limited edition print. I'm such a fan girl!
Will you be at The Creative Connection? If so, look for me on Thursday night as I'll be speaking as a keynote during the welcoming dinner and then I'll be answering audience questions so you'll have me for a few hours to ask anything and everything that you wish. I'll be talking about how I built my business, blogging and how to use it as a catalyst to live a better life, tips on blogging better and from the heart, I will fill your plate with plenty of advice and inspiration as I plan to give you every single drop of myself -- in order to encourage and motivate YOU.
If you're not attending TCC and want to pop in anyway to listen to me speak, along with Oprah's right hand lady in the kitchen, Celebrity chef Cristina Ferrare, then please register ASAP for only the welcoming dinner on Thursday evening, September 15th. It will last about 3 hours and your ticket will include the two lectures, Q&A session, a full dinner and of course, you can meet me immediately following the event because I'll stick around to meet as many of you as I can. The ticket for that event only is $125 and I heard there are only 25 seats left so act now if you want to be a part of the welcoming dinner.
Registration is super confusing so let me walk you through how to register for the dinner where I'll be speaking:
1. First go to this page.
2. Next, enter your email address then select "à la carte".
3. Click Continue.
4. Fill out all of the needed information.

See you next week at The Creative Connection! xo
