One year ago, the very first Creative at Heart Conference took place in Staunton, VA.
Wait, what?!
I can hardly believe one year has gone by!!! Part of me feels like it was just yesterday & the other part feels like it was centuries ago!!! Since that first sold-out conference, we have hosted two more, launched a new website, opened an online shop, built an amazing team, cried a lot, laughed even more & had too many cups of coffee to count.
365 of adventure. 365 days of growth. 365 of camaraderie.
I am so excited to see where the next year takes us, and am already dying to hug our Round 4 attendees in March!!!
On Sunday, we hosted a #creativebirthdaybash for alumni and new friends; we welcomed 75 creatives into the Paisley & Jade studio to eat yummy sweets, take silly photos in front of the Photo Booth, hear a heartfelt presentation by Natalie Franke Photography, ask questions during the Q+A panel and walk away with new friends. I LOVED gathering together with everyone in such a laid-back, open and fun environment & think we may or may not have to have another one next year!!!:)
Enjoy these photos … be aware: you may start humming “Happy Birthday” as you scroll through:)
