A Very SNAP!py Christmas to you!

Bykendra

It will be a very SNAP!py Christmas for one of my lucky readers!!!

I am SO EXCITED to have the opportunity to giveaway one full Conference Pass to the event of the year for creative bloggers!

I blogged a lot of the details about SNAP! Conference on this post, and you’ll want to head to the SNAP! Website today, because a little birdie told me that some of the amazing speakers are about to be announced!!! Yea!

Some friends have recently asked me for advice about growing their blog or their on-line presence. The first tip I would give is to encourage them to attend SNAP! Conference, if they possibly can! Not just because of the information that will be available about blogging and social media, but really because by participating in something like this, you become part of a great community–on-line and in real life! A community that can function as your support system, therapist, consultant, promoter, cheerleader and so much more! I truly think the Creative/crafty/DIY community of bloggers is the nicest corner anywhere on the internet! I am amazed at the talented people I’ve met who are also really good and interesting people!

I attended two blogging conferences and a few social events for bloggers last year. This is what I wrote after attending my first conference and learning  I was going to get the chance to be part of the SNAP! team:

Getting to meet up with other bloggers and creative women…a few weeks ago was somewhat life-altering for me! Others have expressed similar sentiments about how wonderful it is to get to be around people that share your creative compulsions. You know. People who don’t raise their eyebrows and stare when you use the words spray paint and plastic tablecloth in the same sentence. People that understand the daily struggle of trying to balance motherhood, creativity, blogging, and that other stuff that just has to get done sometimes. It’s a very validating experience!

I got to hang with these great bloggers at a blogging conference last summer! (Stacy, Amy, and Tauni)

I’ve seen all of the hard work that is going on behind the scenes to make SNAP! more than a typical blogging conference. It will be hands-on, relevant, exciting, pretty, and a whole lotta fun!

I would so love to see you there and see what insanity we share!  A SNAP! Conference pass may be just the thing to ask Santa for for Christmas–it won’t clutter your house, add to your waistline, or shrink in the wash! And more importantly, it may be a life-altering experience.

BUT you might not have to wait for Santa, because I am giving away ONE TICKET TO SNAP! CONFERENCE right here, right now!!!

All I want to know is why you’d love to come to SNAP! Conference–other than to hang out with me, of course! Leave me a comment with your answer and you are entered to win!!!

BONUS ENTRIES:

Subscribe to the SNAP! blog (use the dark grey rss button) and leave me a comment letting me know you did.

Subscribe to My Insanity (my Google Friends Connect is down, so please sign up via my RSS button–the orange one). If you think you are already subscribed, I’d love it if you would check again.

  4. I subscribe to you on GFC and it is working just fine! I like it way better than RSS. I guess technically I subscribe to SNAP but since they aren’t on GFC it takes a few days for me to check their updates. Spread the word to Tauni. I may not be the only one!

  12. Oh, I would love to go to SNAP and hang out with all my great blogging buddies again. And of course attend great classes and learn tons of things to help my blog.

  17. It’s only been in the last few months that I have discovered this whole BLOGOSPHERE, and I’m totally hooked. This has always been right up my alley–this DIY lifestyle–and to find a group of people that share the same interests, well, I couldn’t be more happy 🙂 So, to get to attend the SNAP conference would be an amazing experience!

  20. The main reason I want to go to SNAP is to meet the AMAZING friends I’ve made online over the last year and to have the chance to make new friends! That’s really why I love blogging is the people! I also would LOVE the chance to soak up all the knowledge to be gained there!

    Thanks for the chance!

  72. {Happily subscribed to your feed.}

    It would be fantastic to go to SNAP!! With 5 boys I would not have an opportunity to go unless I did win, and I can only imagine how amazing it is to have all of those women together. How inspirational!!! It would be so fantastic!!

  73. I would love to attend snap because I feel like its the kind of conference that affirms that I was put on this earth to use my gifts. I feel like blogging allows me to live in a world where I don’t have to justify my love for making crafts, owning a business, and being true to myself. I am loved and accepted by strangers who become friends. I would love the opportunity to meet some of them online friends in real life and learn and grow from the experience!!

  75. I would LOVE LOVE LOOOVE to come to the Snap conference!! I would love to hang out with YOU and all the other wonderfully talented inspiring women who will be there! 🙂

  97. I am dying to go to SNAP!!! My sister and I want to come for a fabulous girls weekend, and of course to hang with all the coolest bloggers 🙂

  102. my blog and etsy could use a kick in the rear. I have been kindof discouraged but keep hanging in there. Maggie Whitley suggested I try to make it to SNAP!

  103. My blog is in such a weird transitional phase from blah to AWESOME and I need the inspiration from other successful bloggers to help take it there. Golly gee I want to win sooo bad!

  106. I would love to attend SNAP so that I could be inspired creatively and learn new tricks for crafting and DIY. We are in the process of purchasing our first home and so I have tons of home DIY that I am going to need inspiration for! I would also love to meet other women who enjoy many of the same things I do!

  109. I want to meet other craft bloggers, I attended a blog conference in 2009 and was one of three craft bloggers. While I enjoyed all the bloggers I met, it’s nice to find your tribe!

  115. I would LOVE to go to SNAP! I have a blog with my 5 sisters and we all are dying to go. We are just having trouble convincing our husbands to buy us tickets. My husband couldn’t say no if I got to go for free, right?! 🙂

  118. I actually just blogged about this Conference, it’s one of only 3 things on my wish-list!… I have never attended a creative conference, but I have ALWAYS wanted to. This one just happens to be only 20 minutes from my house, and I am doing everything I can to convince my hubs it’s worth the $$. I don’t have any real-close girlfriends and I would sure love some, especially some that share my interests! Not only would I be in HEAVEN being inspired by creative geniuses, but knowing I would make lifelong friends would be good enough for me!

  121. Hi Kendra! I think I’m one of the only ones who ISN”T coming to SNAP at the moment and it makes me sad. I know it will be an amazing time for networking, community, learning, friendship, and fun. I’m praying a ticket comes through for me! Thanks for the chance.

  123. I want to go to SNAP, so I can collect lots more signatures in my blogging superstar collection. 😉 Oh, and I want to learn more about making my blog awesome.

    Aloha,
    Charlie

  132. I would love to win and take some crafty classes from some awesome gals…whom I am always stalking.
