Dear Kittens,
You all pretty much know how I feel about the Craftcation Conference, right? Yeah. For those of you who need a little more info: Craftcation is part vacation, part craft conference, part business conference and 100% wonderful. Ventura, California has been the setting for the past two years. I've been both times and I've had just a lovely time all-around.
The organizers, Delilah Snell and Nicole Stevenson are currently in the midst of creating a Craftcation Magazine. Hot. They asked yours truly for some feature ideas and they selected one of my pitches.
Here's how you can get $877 worth of business advice for the cost of a stamp…
