DIY Classes, Networking, and Fun!
I know that most of you come to my blog to find DIY, home decor, creative projects and ideas. Some of you are fellow bloggers, but most of you are my long-time blog readers…. XO.
Today’s post is more for my fellow bloggers that are going to the Haven Conference in Charleston, SC or are thinking of purchasing a ticket to attend this year.
If you are not familiar with the Haven conference, it is a 3 day long conference held on July 12, 13, and 14th this year.
What could be more awesome for a design and decorating enthusiast then taking a trip to a fabulous city rich in history, design and architecture and getting to hang out with others who share the same passions as you?
The conference is mostly for decor, DIY, and craft bloggers, but it is open to anyone who loves creating a beautiful home.
I am a Haven mentor this year along with 18 other long time bloggers who know the blogging ropes and are willing to help out other bloggers in any way we can.
As a mentor, we were asked to answer a few questions and introduce ourselves this week in a Haven Mentor BlogHop so the attendees of the conference can get to know us.
So here it goes….
I have been blogging for almost 9 years now. When I first started I had a full-time job as a retail display designer, but after about a year into blogging, I quit that job to blog full-time….
