Hey Craft Buddies! Today’s post/video is a fun one, I’m bringing you along and sharing our full Texas trip!
Not only did Courtney (Creative on the Cheap), Jennifer (Little Bit of Calm & Crazy), Shannon (The Daily DIYer & The Cozy Christmas Cottage), & I go to the 2024 Pinners Conference, but we also had a fun two days in Waco, TX before that. I’m sharing it all from start to finish AND they also got me good with a sweet surprise for baby – watch to see (spoiler alert: I cried I was so touched)!
I’m also doing 2 different GIVEAWAYS in the video – one for 2 people to win extra class kits to make our pumpkin DIY at home and then 5 more folks will win a class bag and some Craft Buddy Swag! Check out the video and description on YouTube for all the details. I’ll be drawing the winners on Thursday, October 3rd at noon CST – so be sure to enter ON THE YOUTUBE video before the deadline!
Also, I wasn’t the only one vlogging! Courtney’s video will go up Thursday 9/26 at 4:30 pm CST & Shannon’s video will go up on Sunday 9/29 at 1:00 pm CST. They’ll also be doing class kits and swag giveaways so be sure to check those out so you’ll have more chances to win!
What is the Pinners Conference?
It’s two great events in one. It’s a conference featuring 100+ Pinterest-based classes taught by amazing experts. Think about your favorite YouTube videos happening LIVE while you craft along! It’s also a trade show with 200 amazing businesses with booths covering DIY, crafts, cooking, photography, self-improvement, party planning, scrapbooking, holiday, beauty, fashion and more!
Waco, TX – Magnolia & Homestead Heritage
Our first two days were spent road-tripping to and exploring Waco, TX! We visited Magnolia Table, Magnolia Silos, and Homestead Heritage before driving to Ft. Worth.
Arlington, TX – Decorator’s Warehouse Christmas Store
Before the Pinners event kicked off, we visited Decorator’s Warehouse in Arlington Texas. This place is AMAZING! It is full of 60,000 sq. feet of Christmas decor, trees, and more. If you’re in the area you should totally check it out!
And of course we had to break out our Christmas shirts to go!
VIP Pinners Party
Before the event kicked off, the VIP Pinners ticket holders attended a fun Casino Night – Pinners style party! We were able to meet so many friends the first night and it was a blast!
Pinners Conference Day 1
The first official day of Pinners Texas kicked off with our Crafty Meet Up and then we connected with even more folks on the show floor. Meeting Craft Buddies in real life is the BEST and I’ll cherish these memories!
Pinners Conference Day 2
Our final day of Pinners was the big one – our LIVE DIY Class. It was sold out and we had 100+ people crafting with us, it was a blast! Thank you to everyone who came – we appreciate you!!
Here are the pumpkins we made with the group – everyone’s turned out so cute!
