More on the 1st day of the Summit of Awesome....

As promised here are some pictures of the make and takes at the Summit of AWESOME!

Here is a little felt birdie that I created with the help of Mary Jane's Attic.  She had everything ready to go for us and it took about 20 minutes.  I was quite impressed with myself.  I have only attempted needle felting once before and wasn't nearly as successful as I was today.  I don't love my little birds huge beak, but oh well.

These two pictures are the front and back of my decorated mole skin journal.  Can I just tell you how much I LOVE moleskin journals!  They are super handy and I feel like I have one lying around everywhere to help me contain my creativity :) 

The stamps used are from Craft Pudding and aren't they TOTALLY adorable!!! I think she is going to have a booth set up selling some of her stuff tomorrow so guess who is going to be first in line?  

Today was super eventful and I loved every minute of it.  I felt right at home with all the other crafty people out in this world.  Many of my close friends aren't crafters themselves so it is very rare that I get to share what I love to do with people who know what I am talking about.  

I went to 2 info. sessions today.  One was on creating a social network through all the wonderful technology tools (one that they discussed was blogging so I felt as though I was a little ahead of the gang... for once, haha).  Then in the afternoon I went to a session on how to photograph your items.  It was super helpful and had great tips which I hope to post for everyone early on next week.  

I am learning so much and having a blast along the way.  Tomorrow I have two more information session and a few more NEW make and take opportunities so I will be posting again to let you know what is up.  

Happy crafting!

take care mucho,
