Hello PNPF friends!
I had an amazing time at SNAP! in Salt Lake City and although I'm still trying to catch up on sleep I wanted to quickly share just ONE of the many highlights from the last 3 days in Utah.

Before I left I was working on a secret project for Darice.

If you don't already know, Darice is a wholesale distributor for the crafting industry. You'll find their name on almost all many of the craft items and supplies you pick up in your local craft store, toy store as well as party, drug and grocery stores. Their products are EVERYWHERE!!

One of their paper crafting items is Core'dinations card stock and I was one of the 10 bloggers they asked to create a home decor item featuring their new card stock. The home decor item was then to be put on display in the Darice booth at SNAP! 

I showed you some peeks as I was working on the project prior to heading out to SNAP!  but now I'm excited to share with you the end result! (if you follow my Instagram feed you already got to see it).

I also got to meet this sweet girl from the Darice Team at SNAP! I'd been working with her leading up to the conference and she's the one who organized getting me the card stock I selected to do the project.

Me being silly at the Darice Booth as part of the hashtag fun on Instagram!

I'll share the specifics on how I made the Tree Art Print tomorrow…
just wanted to share a little excitement today from the conference.

The mountains of Salt Lake City were beautiful…but I was SO happy to arrive home to my family yesterday. I was really missing them. It was a chilly 34º on Sunday morning when I flew out of Salt Lake City. Brrrrr!!! This Florida girl was missin' the sunshine and warm weather!

I really do love giving my opinion on things that matter to me. And paper crafting happens to me one of my favorite things. Taking this survey was a no brainer for me!
