Long time no blog...I have been busy...I can't believe it's been well over a week that I blogged! Wink wink! I have to say the last week was a roller coaster in many ways... For me personally, for our family and in my "career." That still feels so odd to say...Laugh!
I am sitting in Nashville at the Gaylord hotel...It is HUGE...It is a city! I am amazed every time I come here and this is my 3rd or 4th time, can't remember...But man I get lost...LOL And I have no one to lead me around like the puppy I am! I carry a map...Whatever...Last night after having dinner with my dear darling friend Candice we parted and it took me like 20 minutes to find my way...Helllllp! (what a dork walking in circles) lol
I love CKU! I love the women who have taken the time and money and all the effort it takes to come to this event! I love love love the women who run this show! I have been working with them for 6 years now and have loved every event, every CKU I have attended! The Gaylord is special...I know I have said this before, but I LOVE southern women...I secretly wish I was a women of the south...Sweet and SAssy!
I loved the Yayas and want to be one...I am excited to see old friends and make some new ones! Another great thing about teaching at CKU is I get to teach with some of my very favorite people! Tim & Mario will be here today! Teresa too...So love the idea of spending time with them...I am so grateful and pinch myself every time I "get" to do this! I LOVE teaching...It's the frosting ladies...(and like 2 men who read my blog) So I said roller coaster...Whew! When I say roller coaster I am talking slowly climbing up hearing the click clack of the wooden slats, heart pumping and sweaty palms kind of pee your pants antisipation...Then there is the ride down...The hands in the air, screaming anxiety, whip lash around the curves and back up to the top again...That is what kind of week I have had...I am so excited about the response to the Girl's Loft...Wow! Really? Thank YOU all...I have to say starting my own business has always been a dream...You know like a romantic idea? A handsome prince, winning the lottery, 6 carat diamond ring type of dream...I have my prince (Grant Aslett) knowing that I am starting my own business and being able to do it with my 2 best friends, my daughters and all of YOU is better than all that other stuff...Diamonds, money, romance...That's what it's all about for me...A Girl with a dream sharing it with other girls who love what they do with paper and "stuff" I am happy...I am excited...I am nervous...I am scared...I am in that pee your pants mode, for all these reasons... So what I thought while Mom's away...The "girls" can play...Let's do another give-away! I know we all love FREE stuff...I do! Because the last give-away was so fun I think I will do it again! When you are the boss you get to do stuff like this! Wink wink!
Here's the deal...I will be at CKU Nashville until Sunday...I want this to be big! Do you blog? Do you face book or twitter, are you a fan of the girl's loft? Let's get all our girls together...Girl's Loft power! If you post on your blog and link it to my blog I will go to the back end of my blog and collect all those links...If you facebook it or tweet it I will take those links too...Leave us a message on our Girl's Loft fan page...If you don't do any of the above. Start! or...Leave a comment on my blog I will take all those names and add them to the pile! NO ONE will be excluded! All girls are welcome at the Girl's Loft! Sunday when I get home...I will gather, then Give...I will have Megan and Brooke gather while I am away! So what do YOU win? How about I give away another 6 months free membership to not one girl...but to3 more girls! Sounds fun! It's like spreading good gossip! Like sharing a fabulous find with girlfriends...
Check back Monday June 1st...We will have your winners!
Here's to spreading good gossip...Fabulous finds with girlfriends...Southern Women, Teaching at CKU, pee your pants excitement and to FUN...It's what i'm all about...Doing what you love, sharing it with others and finding joy in life...
KISS KISS
