If you follow me on Instagram, then I’m sure you’re well aware by now that I went to a blogging/craft event on Friday evening: The Glitter Academy! I attended the Spring event back in March, which was my first event as a blogger. That event was amazing, and this was much the same! Over the past year I’ve met so many great local bloggers, really great gals, and it’s always amazing to meet in real life or to reconnect at these events. The hostesses, Jamielyn from I {heart} Naptime, Kristyn from Lil Luna, and Stephanie from Somewhat Simple did a fabulous job!
First the gals at Paging Super Mom put together the dessert table, which was ahhhhh-mazing! They made custom printables for the event, which you can download HERE!

There were so many gals I got to connect with, let’s do a quick run down, shall we? Calling all West Valley gals! A group of us met up and carpooled/caravaned to the event: Laura of Pink Cake Plate, Sara of Mom Endeavors, Sara of Clever Pink Pirate, Vanessa of See Vanessa Craft, Cindy of Jenkins Kid Farm, and Kara of Mine for the Making. I met up with my girls at the party, ANO contributors Jen and Rachel of Just Us Three Design. Let’s see…now who else can I shoutout! My friend, Rebecca of The Crafted Sparrow, Mandy from Small Fine Print, Liz from Lizzie Jane Baby, Wendy from Choosing Love, Kelly and Kristi of Lolly Jane, and finally met Katie of Sweet Rose Studio! I also met some Instagram buddies IRL, can you believe it: Katie Wilson Hughes of Vintage Rose Wraps, Erin of Crafty Auntie and Trina of Hautala Couture! Last but not least, I met THEE Mandi of Vintage Revivals! She’s sweet and beautiful! Here are some snapshots I took during the night, if you missed them on IG:
It was a TON of fun if you didn’t gather from my Instagram spam. But thanks for bearing with me. And if you’re an AZ local, or want to come into town for the next event, be sure to follow along on The Glitter Academy Blog or Facebook page to keep up to date on events! Well, I can’t wait til the next event, but before I go let me give a HUGE thanks to the sponsors of the event. We got an amazing craft from Poppy Seed Projects and so many giveaway items from other sponsors, some listed here:
