Are you a Game of Thrones fan? I am. So is The Mister. As are many others. While at Alt Summit, Kathy, of Krafty Kath, discovered we both dig the show (and, let’s not kid ourselves, Jon Snow too) and joked about getting together for a Game of Thrones craft night. Then it happened. If […]

Spring is finally here. Chilly mornings and nights, but the days are getting warmer. Daylight is staying around longer each day. Little signs of the nature coming alive are all around us. Spring also seems like a natural, massive reset button for us. It’s time to start fresh. I’ve never been one to set New […]

Early spring in Seattle means holding on to certain parts of your winter wardrobe (coat and wool scarf), while digging wildly through the attic for pieces you put away after the summer or fall (lighter cotton cardigans and flats), and grabbing a few items you always keep handy in the front closet (rain boots and […]

Did you watch the Oscars last night? I’m a big fan of all the gowns, as well as the suits; but I what I love is when a winner gives *that* speech. The kind when you get a little verklempt and might try to fight back a tear or two because they are so sincere […]

While at Alt Summit I met the fine folks of Kleenex and, since then, signed up to be a part of their 90th anniversary celebrations. After receiving their sample product box in the mail earlier this week, there was a “wow” moment. With so many cool options to now pick from, it’s easy to say these are not […]

Believe it or not, I’m at a loss when it comes to kid crafts. Yes. I’m an event planner, which calls for a lot of imagination and creativity. I know my way around a pair of scissors and a glue stick. A washi tape wizard if you will. But when I open my tykes’ art […]

First, a confession: I’m still processing and remain a little overwhelmed from last week. Alt Summit was a bit like a going back to school (stomach butterflies), learning how to swim (keep your head above water), and the ultimate networking event (meet, greet and repeat x300) all mixed into one big blender for three straight days. Second, […]

Last week I was at Alt Summit and this quote has never rung more true. While talking with the fellow attendees and learning about their work, it felt like entire new worlds were discovered. These women and men ranged from those who are just starting their journey to those who’ve had quite the adventure – […]

Today is about respect and honor. Today is about grace and peace – not the singing “Koombaya” around the campfire while holding hands kind, but the kind that’s made from compromise and with care. […]

If you happened to glance at my Twitter feed yesterday, you might have noticed A) actual activity thanks to B) a small conversation between the ever-so-helpful Kim Wardell and myself about a conference we’re heading to next week (yes, I was the one using #AltFirstTimer). In short the conference, Alt Summit SLC, is for bloggers primarily in […]
