I am going to be speaking on opening night….(deep breath)! I am more of a behind the screen kind of a girl…so this will be interesting!  But I will be sharing my little “speech” back here after I get back from Snap for any of you who may be interested!

Don’t have a ticket to Snap? But want to come and meet some of your favorite bloggers and shop the amazing Queen Bee Market?  The doors are open to the public both Friday and Saturday. Do a little meeting and greeting…shopping and visit the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival!!  Sounds like some great GNO fun to me! Check out the amazing Queen Bee Market Vendors who will be at Snap!

So if you weren’t able to make it to Snap this year…you can still party with us this week!  Hope you enjoy it!  Now I have to run and figure out which of my “cute” shoes I can actually wear and comfortably walk around in all weekend!  Yes…it is a priority!

Tulip Festival Giveaway

I am excited to be able to share a great SPRING giveaway for all my Utah locals! (and for those of you who may be able to travel here)! As many of you know I have been helping to plan the SNAP Creativity Conference here next week at Thanksgiving Point in Utah.

We have been so lucky to be able to hold this conference at this amazing venue. While we are there, Thanksgiving Point will be hosting their annual Tulip Festival. Every attendee at SNAP! will be getting a ticket to the festival. But since many of you here will not be at SNAP!, I thought it would be fun to be able to give some one some free tickets to see the tulips. Who would like that?

The annual Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival, is spread throughout the 55-acre Thanksgiving Point Gardens, the Tulip Festival is an awe-inspiring sight that is redesigned each year to create a new display.

The Tulip Festival runs April 13th through the 28th (closed Sundays) and features “more than a quarter-million tulips in nearly 100 unique varieties and 70 different colors spread across 55-acres of 15 themed gardens.”

You guys probably know by now from some of my past posts, that I am a member of the Snap! Conference TeamSNAP! The Conference is a three day blogging conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.  It will be held at the beautiful Thanksgiving Point from April 19-21, 2012 right during the peak Tulip time.

Jen from Tatertots and Jello and I are teaming up and are heading the Blogging and Craft Track of the Conference.  I just love Jen and am so excited to be able to work with her and the other team members.  We have a lot of great things in store for those in attendance.

We have been working hard behind the scenes gathering together speakers and panelists, which happen to be some of the most talented faces in the blog and craft world.

We have announced several of them and still have a few more announcements to make.  Pretty exciting right?  We are in the process of finalizing some great classes and hands on DIY workshops.  Stay tuned for further information and details about the classes and DIY workshops that we will be offering.

I am also really excited that there will be an amazing handmade Snap! Market.  The Queen Bee Market (who is owned and run by Mique Provost from 30 Days) will be an exciting addition to our Snap! Conference and will offer a wide variety of unique handmade items for sale.  If you are the owner of a handmade shop and would like to be a vendor, you can apply here.  But you need to hurry as space is limited. The Queen Bee Market is only accepting applications through January 31, 2012.

We would love to have you join us either as an attendee or a Market vendor…or both!  Just a reminder that the cost for a full conference ticket will be increasing this Friday, Jan. 20, 2012. Please take advantage of the lower price this week

Want a chance to win a ticket to SNAP!? Head on over to the SNAP! Blog and you can enter for a chance to win a free ticket to the conference.  The giveaway ends on Friday, January 27, 2012.

And finally, every Thursday at 10:30 am MST the SNAP! Team hosts a fun twitter party.  This is a great way to meet some SNAP! Team members and people who will be attending the conference and just others who enjoy joining in with us.  We chat about various topics and always have a great time.  We would love for you to come and join us.
