Hello friends.
I am home again. After my week in SLC at Alt Summit, and a few days of catching up on sleep, email, and restocking the fridge, it is good to be back.
I have a little re-cap, or more of a hodgepodge, of my favorite Alt insights I’ve been jotting down. But I thought I’d start by sharing a fun detail, a peek at a few business cards,
mine + a few I came home with me in return.
I left my business card-making (and wardrobe planning!) to the last minute, for a good reason. So I was thrilled when everything pulled together in the end.
For my cards, I started by lining up about a zillion kraft coin envelopes and spray painting!
Then I chopped up about a zillion chocolate bar samples and wrapped them up in pretty gold liners.
Finally I pulled out one of my favorite things ever, my name stamp drawn for me by the amazing Michelle of Meant to Be Calligraphy. I love this stamp and stamp it on everything all of the time, so it went on my cards. I sent it off to my printer and got the final pieces back.
A huge thanks to an amazing husband who did some serious assembling with me Tuesday night, while watching Downton Abbey with me. Ya. He’s a good man.
From my first Alt moment, which for me was tagging along with a fabulous group of women on the Trax on our way to the Hello Social, the business card trading was a fantastic non-stop frenzy.
I have to say that for someone who loves inspirational classes and furious note taking, my favorite part of Alt was meeting a zillion new people. It was incredible to me to get to say hello to the real-life artists and bloggers and shop owners driving the blogs and shops I adore. Here’s just a peek at a few cards in the stash I got to bring home.
Peck Life / Leslie Fandrich / Cooper House / Hitch Design Studio
twig / Terra Savvy
Hank & Hunt / Engaged & Inspired / Sweet Lulu
Better with June / Paging Supermom
Meg Biram / Melissa Esplin / Parker Etc
p.s. if you’re like me and can’t get enough, Ez of Creature Comforts (who was also amazing to meet in person) has a roundup of her big stash of cards right here

What a wonderful idea adding chocolate to your cards. That would definitely make you stand out in my book!
Loved your card! The chocolate was delicious! It was a lifesaver at work yesterday when I was in serious need of something sweet!! : ) Thanks again!
Chocolate cards…what a yummylicous idea! Very different from the run of the mill. Also love some of the other cards you’ve collected. So creative…so inspiring:-)
