Back to Reality...after one more fun night in Minnesota!!

The last day of The Creative Connection was the BEST. Sad to see friends pack up!! However, we will meet again next year. A year can be filled with change and renewal. I for see lots of great things to come. Yes, you can say we have left here INSPIRED. To The Creative Connection Team...you have done your job well and you should be proud.

Not all glamor with the packing up portion of the show. However, rest assured we will only share the fun photos!!

Women, Passion, Business.......

 

Day two at The Creative Connectionwas filled with networking, new friendships, laughter, inspiration and creativity. The day started late at 11:00 at the Handmade Market. I loved meeting Facebook fans and selling goods inspired the exchange of business cards. Networking is a large part of The Creative Connection. I was delighted that my own handmade hair clips were part of a feature on the 4 o' clock local news. The Creative Connection's own Nancy Soriano handpicked handmade goods to be featured in the spot!! I can't explain the energy that is in this building with so many creative women entrepreneurs on every level of their journey. I say it best with photos and captions to make it sweet and to the point.

GOOD FRIEND Virginia of The Rusty Bird, Sally and I....
