Crafter Girls Night Out

A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to get one of the coveted 50-ish or so tickets to the AZ Crafter Girls Night Out. It was held at the Sweet Cakes Cafe in downtown Mesa. I have been there a few times before with the Cuties. Yum!

I was surrounded by some of the most crafty and artistic ladies around. Most (almost all) of them at least have an Etsy where they sell their homemade products. A-Mazing ladies. 

When I arrived, I suddenly panicked as I wondered what I would say when someone asked who I was and what business I had. Not 5 minutes in and I was faced with those very same questions. I was filling drinks for Julie and myself when a cute, peppy girl asked who I was. I explained that my name was Dawn (even though I was wearing a Julie name tag) and we laughed. She introduced herself and then asked me what I do. 

Ugh....

A million thoughts fly through my head. Lies. Exaggerations. I finally settled on the truth. I told her...I have a blog. Well...two of them. One is a family blog that the other is me learning my camera. 

What I got from her was the nicest smile and nod and then we left each other. 

What a nerd I am. Nice. Real nice.

From that point on - I made myself the blog stalker girl and she seemed to be pretty popular. Well, at least with my table :)

What a great night with so many inspirational ladies!!

Aren't these little cakes adorable??!!

AZ Girl's Night Out

I am SOOOO SOOOO SOOOOOOOOOO excited.
I don't know quite how I am going.
But...luckily I have a friend named Julie that is NOT a procrastinator.
(nope, not like me)
She was able to get me a ticket the minute they went on sale.
They sold out in like 20 minutes.
They only sold a handful. 
So, what is GNO?
Well, tomorrow evening I will have the privilege
to be in the company of AZ's best crafters.
I pretty sure I'm the least crafty person going.
I wish I was as crafty.
I think I am...I just don't act on it.
And, I definitely don't blog about my crafts.
Well...not enough anyway.
I should.
But, I can barely blog as it is.
I'm pretty much all talk.
These girls are stinkin' amazing.
A-MAZING.
I can't wait.
So - who will be there?
Kim, Andrea, Toni, & Molly from The Tom Kat Studio
Michelle from Maddy Cakes Muse
Kristyn from Lil' Luna
And lots more crafty gals.
Oh...and me.
Well, me and Julie.
We probably have our own table for the wanna be crafters.
Just kidding.
I feel like I'll be in the presence of celebrities.
That's how excited I am.
Yay me!
