  1. Sounds great but too far for me to travel. Speaking of DIYers, have you visited Diana at "Our Vintage Home Love?" She is an amazing DIY and her gorgeous home shows it. She builds things with power tools!

  2. Oh Yippee Skippeeeeee! Right in my backyard too! I'm so moving heaven and earth to get to this event. Thanks as well for posting the date so far in advance. That was very thoughtful and helpful in planning our calendars!

  3. This is massively exciting! (Especially since I'm only about 5 hours away from Atlanta…) Can't wait to find out more details but I'm already marking my calendar. 🙂

  4. Sadly, I won't be attending (too far from N. Indiana) and to be honest with you, YOU are the only one of the ladies I recognize, but I will most definitely be checking them all out now!!

    Have fun!!

  5. Ahhh! I'm so excited. Hope you guys have some full on woodworking sessions. That way I can convince my husband to go for our anniversary since our anniversary is on the 21st! lol. Can't wait to learn more info!

  6. Did I mention I'm SOOOOO Excited! My hubby is starting to wonder why I'm grinning so big over here 🙂

    I'm going to spotlight this in my weekly love column on Friday.

    Can't wait to meet you in person! I promise to (try) not to stalk you while there!

  7. I am soooo excited! I live in Chattanooga which is only about 1 1/2 hours away. I will be attending this so please keep us posted!

  8. Oooh, close to home for me, but I don't have a blog (yet)- may I come anyway and hopefully get inspired to take the first step??? Pweeease??? 🙂

  9. I'm a girl who is addicted to redecorating and seems to always have an ongoing painting project! My sweet husband has embraced my love for color, vintage finds & thrift store treasures. We moved from Atlanta to Northern Virginia 10 yrs. Ago and have decorated 3 homes since. Attending a DIY conference under you teaching will be a weekend to remember! I'm so excited! Better go buy some more paint brushes…
