Last week I attended my first-ever Alt Summit. And I'm still on information and inspiration overload. I feel like I just need to have a Rip van Winkle sleep.

It was such an inspiring few days. So many inspirational and talented women! I sat through sessions about sponsorships, getting published, and getting press-ready. I talked to women about the creative online marketplace, marketing, and being code-nerds. It was amazing! And so overwhelming.

And the location? Beautiful. It was my first trip to Utah, and my first visit to the Rockies in about 15 years. The Grand America - the conference hotel - was over-the-top. Chandeliers like this were everywhere, and this was a baby one.

It was a great few days. I have so many things to implement around emmarie Designs to make my business life more effective and efficient. I'm really looking forward to beating jet lag and putting all my ideas to work.

I also met some amazing people, and it was great to finally put real faces to so many folks that I've been friends with online for years. Tomorrow I'll share some fun photos.

But until then, I've got some snuggling to do. I missed Cute Kid like craziness.
