The Haven Conference for Content Creators
For the second year in a row, I went to the Haven Conference in Atlanta. This conference is specifically for content creators in the DIY and Design space which includes artists and crafters also. They have numerous speakers and breakout sessions on every topic from affiliate links to email marketing to video editing and much much more. Last year, I was a newbie in terms of social media and was just working on my blog. This year I’m on Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook so I feel better equipped to really reap the benefits of all of the information I was going to receive this year.
Ain’t Too Proud to Dumpster Dive – The Little Chair Project
DIY is my jam, but it does take some time. The process can sometimes be tedious, but there’s nothing like seeing what’s in my head, actually come to fruition. This is part of a series called “Ain’t Too Proud to Dumpster Dive”. Since we don’t have a lot of dumpsters in Atlanta, most of my stuff is coming from the side of the road, but that doesn’t flow off the tongue like my title. Haha
The 4 Locations on My Bucket List this Summer
It’s summertime and the living is easy, unless you live in Atlanta with temperatures in the upper 90’s every…damn…day. With the humidity taking it over 100 degrees, I don’t even want to go outside anymore until September because it’s only going to get worse. If you know me at all, you know I don’t like heat one bit. It’s exhausting and just takes the energy out of me.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
