What to Wear to a Blogging Conference {with No nonsense}

This post brought to you by No nonsense. All opinions are 100% mine.

In a few months I’ll be heading to Snap blogging conference! Eek! I am so excited! Are YOU going?

Since I’m a big planner I am already thinking about what to wear & what to bring {& what NOT to bring}. ;) I’m going to try & branch out from my fashion comfort zone of a perfect tee & yoga pants! My goal is to not bring any yoga pants with me! ha! ;) Buuuut at the same time I still want something that is affordable & comfortable, too.

Jamie @ Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom {Christmas Break Guest}

Hello Ginger Snap Crafts Readers! 
My name is Jamie, and I blog at Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom.  



I'm thrilled to have the chance to spend a few moments of Christmas Break here at Ginger Snap Crafts!  I love visiting Ginger's blog, she is so talented and it always makes me happy when another one of her blog posts pops up on my reader! And of course, I visit every Wednesday to link up at her link party! I love sewing, crafting with my kids, photography, cooking and reading.  My blog, Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom is full of fun tutorials, craft projects and recipes.  I would love for you to stop by for a visit sometime! Here is just a little glimpse of what you will find on my blog:

Kimberly @ A Night Owl {Christmas Break Guest}

Hi Ginger Snap Crafts readers! I'm Kimberly and I blog over at A Night Owl, a blog about the evening antics of a working mom! I'm wife to my best friend Andre, and mother to two adorable boys, AJ and Alex. In my "spare time" you can likely find me on Instagram, and I enjoy crafting, photography, thrifting, parties or a quick and easy recipe. This past year I have really enjoyed sharing this aspect of my life through the blog and connecting with so many amazing people. I always love to meet new friends and would love for you to come by and introduce yourself! I just think it's fabulous that Ginger is taking a break this holiday season to spend quality time with her family; I find myself scaling back these last couple of weeks as well and trying to get things in line for Christmas. It's such a fun (and busy) time of year! As I reflect on this past year, there are a few projects that stand out as some of my favorites and I wanted to share those with you!

Jutta @ Creative Chaos {Christmas Break Guest}

Hello friends of lovely Ginger :-).

I am Jutta from Creative Chaos.

Actually, my blog started out as 'Organized Living Solutions', but reality quickly established itself, and I had to change the name.

I am on a mission to beautify life, especially through paying attention to the normal, ordinary, day-to-day dealings and things. On the blog you will find my various attempts and the occasional rambling. As I am not the most patient of people, most of the DIY's are quick and easy.

Here are five of my favorite projects:

Paula @ Welcoming Spirit {Christmas Break Guest}

Hi there! My name is Paula and I'm super excited to be one of Ginger's Christmas Break-ers :) I usually blog over at Welcoming Spirit, which I started in 2008 to chronicle my adventures as a retreat leader at a Franciscan retreat center in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now I mostly write about our two year old son (Zoom), spiritual reflections, crafty home renovations, and other projects around our home. This year we bought our first house, a little bitty 1971 Spanish style ranch that needs a lot of love. I work full time in advertising as a project manager, and Sean is back in school, studying to become a chef. Our life is a wild ride, very busy, and I am absolutely grateful for every minute.

So what have I been up to this year?

Moving on Welcoming Spirit
We moved across the San Francisco Bay to a new-to-us home. Come take a tour of our new place (messy rooms and all)!
