The welcome session was lead by Sherry and John from Young House Love. They have great chemistry and were a riot! I love the story about how their business evolved!

- Advanced Painting (with Miss Mustard Seed)
- Blogging PR
- Hobby to Business
- I love Thrifting (with Mr Goodwill Hunting from the Nate Berkus Show)
- Photography / Photo Styling (with Kevin and Layla from The Lettered Cottage)

The icing on the cake was that I won the drawing for the grand prize pack from Ryobi! WOW! Gotta have more awesome power tools! They are going to ship them, so they should be here next week!
Yeah! It reminds me of the picture of me wearing my tool belt with my wine when we were giving our Master Closet a new life!

The whole conference was great! From what I could see, it ran smooth and bump-free.
Hopefully, they will plan Haven 2013 for next year!
Now, I'm going through business cards of the people I met and checking out their blogs and their social media. I'm half way through the stack....

Hi Robyn! My favorite part of the conference was meeting new lovely, smart, creative women like yourself! I enjoyed our lunch chat! I am also going through all the business cards I received. Showing support for my fellow bloggers by following along with their blogging journey. I also was inspired to update my blog. I learned so much!
