Put a fork in it…

2 Comments 

Once again, Craft Gossip’s Fork & Talk Blogger Meetup sponsored by EK Success is done. Imagine 24 crafty women gathered to share ideas, network, and try some of the fabulous products from the EK Success line up over a wonderful lunch at Trios in Little Rock.  What a great day we had last Saturday!

Chatting during registration.

Needlework Editor Denise Felton chats with Janna Jennings, Sarah Bird-Bogner, Kimberly Eagle, and Codie Pope during registration before the event kick off.

Participants brought business cards to swap with each other.

Denise called these envelopes from the beautiful K & Company papers a way to recover from a craft fail. I think they are gorgeous enough to warrant their original name – origami business card holders. We stuffed them with a set of business cards from each participant.

Wendy Gregan introduces herself and talks about her blog Amelie Eyes.

Trios made us feel very welcome. Julia brought us each a delicious lunch and was the judge for our editor makeover contest.
