Help a Girl Out

Next Wednesday I’ll be leaving for the Haven Conference.  You know about Haven right?

Haven Conference 2012

It’s a new blog conference that was put together by some of my all time favorite people in all of blogland.  I’m super excited and also ridiculously nervous!

When I get back from Haven, I leave the very next day for a week long trip to California.  I. Can’t. Wait!  We’re going to spend some time visiting family in Southern California, and then we’re road tripping it up to Napa with some of our best friends!

Ummmm……..did I mention we’re going to Napa without our children?!  Yeah, my mom and step-dad will be on kid duty for a few days while the hubs and I enjoy some adult time!   I know – you hate me right now -huh?!  It’s okay, I’d hate me too!

Try not to hate me too much because on top of all of that I’m asking you guys for a favor.  I know- I have some nerve.

If I was one of those uber-organized bloggers I would have a fantastic guest post series already lined up for the week that I’ll be gone.  Major fail.  I’m not that cool.  You probably already knew that huh?  Anyhow, I’m hoping you will want to help this girl out by sending me a picture of your favorite summer project, craft, or recipe.  Did you decorate your mantle for summer?  Have you been working in the yard?  Do you have a go-to summer recipe?  Send your pics with a brief description or a link to a blog post to carmelraye@yahoo.com.  I’d appreciate so much the opportunity to feature your projects, crafts, and recipes!  Plus you’ll be helping this girl out big time, and doesn’t it feel good to help a friend in need?

I can’t wait to check my e-mail!  Ready, set, send me a picture!

So, who else is going to Haven?  Are you as nervous as I am?  What are you packing?  Seriously, what do you wear to a blog conference?

  • I'm right there with you, what do you wear to a blog conference? You are more organized that I am, we will be vacationing for two weeks starting on Friday and I have nothing and no one lined up. Bad blogger!

  • I'm so glad you aren't the super organized type because then I would have to hate you twice! I am running around trying to get it together before next week and have nothing scheduled to post during Haven.

    But…I do have some Summer projects from last year that I would love to share.

  • Oh I am so bummed that I can't go to Haven! Once I got the word that I could take those days off the conference was sold out – Have a wonderful time on both of your trips! so jealous!

  • Sounds like you have a wonderful June lined up Carmel! Hope you have a fabulous time at Haven – can't wait to hear all about it. I can't go after all either and am sad to miss meeting you, Cassie, Ange and all the other fabulous ladies that will be there! Enjoy!

  • Yay! Can't wait to meet you at Haven! Its my first blogging conference- so I'll be the one with the deer in headlights look on my face.

  • That sounds like so much fun! I've never been to Haven, so I'll be looking forward to some "after vacay" posting about it! I emailed you a couple of links to some recents projects I finished for a lighter summer look. Hope they might help!

  • Saw you featured at EV and am having so much fun looking around. I am going to Haven too!! Just this morning I went from being super excited to super nervous. It's so close, my clothes aren't cute enough, my blog isn't big enough, yada yada. Oh well, it is what it is and I can't wait to just experience it all.

    Not sure if you've gotten everything you need in the form of pictures, but I'm posting about my summer mantel on Monday so I'll shoot you a pic and a link in hopes it's something you'd like to include. 🙂 Enjoy your trip, Napa without the kids sounds dreamy.
