I have been
drooling over the amazing workshop event that is
The Creative Connection for over a year now! After seeing what it was all about through the web last year, I knew that I wanted to attend it this year! But alas, money is tight & time is running out!
So, I am blogging about this for two reasons -
first & foremost - because they
TOLD me to blog about it to get 5 more entries to
WIN 2 FREE PASSES for the weekend event in September & second of all, that's what we bloggers are supposed to do, right?
Right!
There are several reasons I want to attend an event like this one...
One is that we (my mom, sis & I) have been
struggling to be found in our little online/Etsy biz & I believe that this type of event would be an
amazing learning tool with all of their panels throughout the weekend to teach me how to discover & fine tune your goals, & market our wares better through Etsy, social media & more!
Second,
I think I am going through a mid-life crisis! {My husband is smack in the middle of his! HIS vice? Mountain climbing - not just ordinary hiking, but roping in & climbing crazy stuff with snow, ice &
NO oxygen! He's off to Ecuador in December to climb 3 (
YES, THREE!) 20,000+ peaks!!}
MY mid-life crisis is so much more tame! I want to
CREATE ALL THE TIME! I want to either go back to school for some art training or I just want to try new art techniques NOW! So, this event is the
PERFECT venue for this because I can dabble in any number of mediums for a fraction of the cost of actually going back to school!
And, learn from those that I already admire for their passion & work!
And, it's all in one weekend!
Thirdly, you get to
meet with all these artistic "
celebs" that have made their artistic passion their careers! Imagine asking those that you admire most, "
how'd you do it & still have a life?" Their insight could be such a powerful tool!!
And last but not least, all the
AMAZING loot they giveaway & what I am sure is to be a
lollapalooza of a market place to shop in!!! I had already figured a good amount of $$ would be set aside for that if I were to go!!
So, it they were to pick me, I would be ever so
humbly thankful for the enrichment it will bring to my mid-life crisis!! Wish me luck & keep your fingers crossed for me!!
