Small Town Girl & Salt Lake City

My heart is full. FULL y'all all.

Allow me explain…

A few months back, I was invited to speak at the Pinners Conference in Table salt Lake City, Utah. Sharing my passion for throwing parties & entertaining, was on the agenda, and I couldn't Await to get to the mountains.

Beginning Night in Military camp

Outset day in town, we spent cruising around soaking in all that Salt Lake had to offer. Shopping ladies… TONS of shopping in Common salt Lake.

I propped my computer open, and was along for the ride, working & scouting out where I was headed the next day, for a little retail therapy. 😉

We broke for lunch at the Market Street Grill, and I had to celebrate with a martini that was TO Dice FOR…

and a pound of shrimp cocktail. Aye, I shared with my hubby and friends… but I could have tackled this glorious pile of deliciousness on my ain.

Our waitress was fabulous, and the food/drinks were superb. If you're e'er in the area… go. eat. hither.

Alter of Seasons in Minutes

My listen is Yet blown. After lunch, nosotros headed out, and up the mountain to come across the white stuff…

In simply minutes of starting in cute, colorfully Fall leaves…

we were on pinnacle of the mount, covered in snow. HOW? How in the world can yous exist in a warmer, colorful surrounding… and and so minutes later, be freezing… surrounded past all the makings of Frosty the Snowman's?

It was Admittedly beautiful.

Trip Outtakes

Hungry for a local pizza, nosotros decided to order a "fiddling," have out… while we were there. I don't know well-nigh you lot, just my husband and I Dearest having a pizza delivered when we are visiting somewhere, trying new styles & flavors. Well… not looking closely at the carte, my husband orders:

Simply bring the states the biggest i you got. Pepperoni.

I must say, nosotros learned our lesson of double checking pizza-size in the future. A 36 inch pizza {call up most how big that is for a infinitesimal. There are typically I of those petty white stands, in the center of a large pizza. There were half-dozen.} shows up at the front door. I'm pretty certain the box had to be turned sideways to fit through the front door. Nosotros never finished the WHOLE matter, merely did put a hurtin' on it at least.

Checking in on the blogs Facebook folio on 24-hour interval two of the trip, I noticed Fantabulosity'southward FB folio reached 5,000 followers!!! I historic with another martini. 😉

A scrap of "window shopping," was on the agenda in Park City, and we found our inner snow bird "wait."

Only they were $500 hats. We gently sabbatum them back down afterward the photo opp., and ran out of the store, afraid we would be stuck with paying for something if we broke it. 😉

On mean solar day THREE, I visited Home Goods and scored the cutest little table for my Party Styling 101 Class, and decided that I wanted to give it away as a BIG thank yous for attending my grade. Have I e'er told yous how much I love Home Goods?

On VIP night at the conference, I popped in for a chip, and ran in to Gloria from Simply Fit Board, and my hubby and I had seen her on Shark Tank the calendar week before! I dearest success stories, and had to become my photo with her immediately.

I gotta say… if we ever movement to Utah, I'll have a FABULOUS time, playing with manner. Those Utah girls KNOW how to style information technology upwards, and if I could have packed more dorsum abode… I wouldah. My new imitation vest and gray boots were my favorite purchase of the trip!

Political party Styling 101

The twenty-four hour period arrived, and I was more excited than ever. I opened my form upwards by admitting to them all:

I seriously thought there would be like 2 people in my class, considering I didn't actually know anyone in Utah.

I was ridiculously flattered…

Party tips, party tips, & party tips! I spoke for an hr, but could have talked all day.

If you lot weren't able to attend, I'll make full y'all in on one piffling undercover I told them.

Adding "garnishes," to your drinks can add fabulous "umph," to your political party decor.

Dip the ring of a glass, in to white Kayro syrup. Then dip the glass in to glittery sprinkles. The expect is non only fabulous…. just it adds a "sweet," touch! 😉

I created a "mini," tablescape for the audition, to show examples of how to stagger and add together height to a brandish table…

"Think Outside of the Box," is a common phrase of mine, and using this table that I scored from Home Appurtenances, gave a peachy example of how you could utilize what you may already take at dwelling, to create the perfect party tablescape.

I accept a new love of party goody supplies: Alexis Maddox Design let me use this cake topper for my grade, and now I'm HOOKED! Information technology added the exact "look," that I was going for.

I bought a few shop-bought cupcakes, and added little party flags for an easy cupcake topper thought.

While standing in the checkout at Dwelling house Goods, I saw yellow macaroons, and KNEW they'd look darling on my dessert tabular array example. They fit perfectly in the little polka dot cups that I'm obsessed with.

In my class, I gave the attendees a quick and easy way to add some pizzazz to political party favors. I hope you'll attend i of my classes one day, so I can teach yous this little trick too! 😉

So I'm back at that place… behind those people. After my class, person after person came up to chat & ask questions. I was then caught off-guard by the sweetness of everyone. Y'all all are too incredibly sugariness, and now I experience like I take a lot of friends in Utah. 🙂

No thing where I am, or when it is… It makes my 24-hour interval when someone comes upwards to me and says,:

Hey! Information technology's me! I follow you!

My heart skips a beat when someone makes a special trip to say hello. Nosotros both share a love for Sew together Fix, Then I made her have a photo with me. 🙂

The special lady standing by me, won the little tabular array that I gave away at the end of my class. She was so happy to receive it, and I was sooo happy to have her and the gals with her, to come up and get a photo!

I don't know how I got then stinking lucky, to take met Toni with Blueprint Dazzle. I had posted in a individual FB grouping before heading out to Utah, that I was coming by myself, and didn't know anyone. Toni took me nether her fly, and made me feel correct at dwelling. Much love to her, and PLEASE visit her blog, considering she's not only the sweetest, but you'll Dear what she shares. {Especially her abode decor ideas. OMG}

If you oasis't attended a Pinners Conference, you MUST! Good news… they're expanding to Dallas Texas, and Phoenix Arizona in 2016! I can't Expect to go, and back up Pinners in the new locations. Ticket… booked. 😉

After my class, I browsed around the expo at all of the dissimilar booths, and ran in to Lisa Bearnson… similar the host on HSN… Lisa Bearnson. Yep, actually! Guys… she'south every bit sugariness and welcoming equally you imagined!

I'chiliad getting crazy excited for what she and Anthology has planned ahead. Don't worry, I'll go along you posted on what fabulous things she has up her sleeve too!

Literally on cloud nine at this point… on my manner dwelling from Salt Lake City, where the mountains are breathtaking, the pizzas are HUGE, the shopping is PERFECT for a gal like me, and the people are incredibly wonderful.

Thank you SOOO much to anybody who came to my grade, to the Pinners squad, and to all of yous for your back up leading up to this point and the future. Without y'all all… I wouldn't be living my dream.
