I learned so many things from so many amazingly talented people at SNAP!
Like how to increase SEO:
Super helpful tips from some of the most successful ladies is the handmade business:
And that inspiration can come from the most unlikely places:
(The printable on the left was inspired by the Target Ad on the right.)

I was super excited about The Queen Bee Market.
It was soooo awesome!
Some serious talent was evident at each table I stopped by.
Not only was I super excited to shop shop and SHOP,
but I walked away sooo inspired!
You can check out the vendors here and I promise you will not be disappointed because they are all AMAZING!
I have to say it again:
SNAP was soooo much fun!
I can’t wait until next year, even though I will have a nursing, 8 month old in tow! (hopefully someone will come with me to help with Hollis!)
I must say a HUGE thank you to all of the women on the SNAP team who worked their hiney’s off and made this conference super awesome for all of us who attended!
Seriously, every detail was perfect and the atmosphere they created was so welcoming!

My husband is inspiring me right now… he’s sitting in front of the sewing machine stitching up a new cover for the toddler car booster seat! (And now I’m itching to get stitching on my maternity skirt!!!)
My gardenia tree is blooming right by my front door and I inspired by the sight and smell … Spring right outside!!
swag for one of us – how cool! i’m just a wee bit sad that I couldn’t come to snap (sounds amazing) but that you’re sharing some swag is such a fun way to pretend we were there too!

So jealous of SNAP! I know it was awesome!
I saw this beautiful display of colors at Target of all places–it sparked an idea for some frames I need to paint!
My family inspires me.
Thanks for the giveaway!! SNAP sounded so fun!
I have my “blog family” I look at every day. It drives my husband crazy because I always have a “honey do” list based on something I just read about!

I will be 100% honest- I am totally inspired by YOU. I have a 4 month old daughter and I am so inspired by all of your faith, love, and drive in life! Also, my sister’s boyfriend of 4 years recently broke up with her because she is ready for a family and kids and he is not (hard thing to cope with) and she is being SO strong and falling back on our family for support and even looking to foster (on her own) She is a kindergarten teacher and she’s a wonderful person! She and YOU both inspire me
I love to follow you on Pinterest as well
…. and i also follow you on FB
…and last but not least i get all your e-mail updates and news feed via e-mail. i am totally connected to JIAD. Love the site! Thank you for all YOU do to inspire others!
You said it!! NEXT YEAR!!! Yay, I was really hoping you would be attending next year with a little one!! So, just for that, you my friend are the inspiration. I have been so inspired by you SNAP recaps, that my goal is to attend next year. I would love to finally meet you.
Okay, so have officially made me insanely jealous THREE times now! (at least!)
~
Funny to hear you mention that you will have a nursing 8 month old next year … because I was just thinking “aw, shucks! no SNAP for me next year EITHER, with a nursing 5 month old!” …. but maybe it CAN be done!?
Hope you’re having a great week,
Bec
SNAP looks absolutely amazing!! I’m hoping to attend next year. As for inspiration, I would say that I get most of mine from colors in nature. LOVE looking outside to give me ideas

My friend Whitney has inspired me. She has a precious 2 year old angel named Tessa. Tessa has cp along with other challenges due to Whitney contracting CMV while pregnant. Tessa has a 4 year old brother who Whitney cares for too. Whitney is real and walks a real life very well. She inspires me. You can follow her at: http://www.bynumfourblog.blogspot.com
My friend Taylor is really inspiring me right now. She is having lots of turmoil and frustration in her life right now but she is sticking to her guns and not falling back into bad habits, and is still being a great, friend, mom, and wife. She is awesome!

I was inspired on my last trip to The Dollar Store ~ to make a special Prayer Wreath for a baby shower I was hosting! It turned out great! Looks like it is time for another trip and some more inspiration
Lately I’ve been finding inspiration everywhere. Including in my little ones. Looks like an amazing time and I can’t wait to go to my first conference, xoxo

Pinterest just inspired me to make a shadow box for my little boy’s first days….complete with blanket given in the hospital, coming home outfit, hospital braclets, etc. So excited to get started!
I’m inspired by all the women out in the blogging world – you are amazing and motivating. I love reading your blog each day. Would love to win some SWAG!
I just won the Cross Stitch giveaway from Little Lovelies and that has DEFINITELY inspired me! I’ve been perusing Etsy shops looking for up-to-date cross stitching patterns and I’m so inspired! I can’t wait to get my goodies in the mail and learn a new craft!
My inspiration is coming for the city I live in. I’m currently the chair woman of a 2.5 million dollar civic improvement project… So far we have redone all seven neighborhood playgrounds, fund a granite sculpture legacy project and a pilot youth literacy program at our city library. Although I’m very busy— this project has helped me with time management and deadlines.
I am inspired by your blog…I just spray painted a chair, a dresser, and a frame to make a chalk board!
I’ve been inspired by all of the seersucker I’ve seen in fabric stores lately! I can’t get all of the projects out of my head!

I’ve been inspired to make some really great recipes!
Hubby recently inspired me! He built another shelf for my fabric! And that helped clean up my sewing area clutter. He is always so supportive of my crafting and tells me I can do it. It’s so nice to hear especially when I’m so critical and picky of my own work.

I love being inspired by the creativity of so many talented people around me yet when it came to actually doing creative things in my own home I was paralyzed. Perfectionism at its best
That was until the Lord put on my heart “Be inspired not intimidated by creativity.” Since that revelation a few months ago my house is now filled with the items and pictures that I love!
