Creative Memories is Sending Me to I_Blog
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks around here–sick kids, meetings, appliance failures, and of course harvest, or at least an attempt at harvest when the weather allows–so I haven’t been writing as much as usual. This morning, however, I got some terrific news that incorporates three of my favorite pastimes: blogging, scrapbooking, and travel. I was chosen to be sponsored by Creative Memories to attend the I_Blog Conference in Iowa November 14-15.
I’ve been wanting to attend I_Blog since it was announced, but I’ve been Favreing on it all along. I’m going. No, I’m not. Yes, I can make it. No, maybe not. But everything has aligned and I’m on my way, and Creative Memories has helped to make it happen.
What is I_Blog, you may ask? It’s a two-day blogging conference in Perry, Iowa, near Des Moines. Many blogging conferences are either huge and/or far away, so it’s going to be nice to attend something (relatively) close to home and on a smaller scale. Jody of Iowa Geek and Have Kid Will Travel has put together a nice line-up of speakers; I’m especially interested in the tax expert who will talking about how to report blogging income and freebies when it comes to tax time. There will be time to relax at the conference home, the historic boutique Hotel Pattee in Perry. Creative Memories is sponsoring a pizza and scrapping party, which includes a free copy of their new Storybook Creator 3.0 digital scrapbooking software. I’m looking forward to learning, connecting, and having fun with other midwestern bloggers.
As part of my sponsorship, I’ll be writing a few posts about Creative Memories and its products, which I’ve been using since 1998.
Would you like to attend I_Blog? You can register until November 1. Hope to see you there!
Okay, seriously. We have to stop having such EXTREME coincidences. Scrapbooking? Blogging? I was a CM Consultant for about 5 years and am an avid crafter. I’m way behind on scrapping, but enjoy making cards every week. I have 2 blogs, one for my personal life and one for my crafty stuff. Unfortunately, I won’t be attending the blog conference but I can’t wait to read all about it here!
Congratulations, again, on winning. I am looking forward to finally meeting you!
