What a whirlwind. I don’t have much to give you right now, because I took all of three pictures over the course of four days. It’s quite a shock going from an attendee to an organizer. Pictures definitely suffer. 🙁
We stuffed, loaded, carried, hung, ran, sweated, and laughed our tails off.
Blue balls {giggle} were a part of the decorations, and I never made it back to my camera to get the final product. Shame on me.
While I try to gather some Haven pictures to share with you, I can’t go another moment without saying I believe Haven 2012 was an absolute success! It was truly one of the most amazing things I’ve ever been a part of, and I hope all the attendees loved it as much as we did! Thank you for taking a chance on us!
I’m hoping I can now get back into the swing of things. That means I’m adding a popular oldie but goodie over here again. I miss highlighting some of the fantastic talent in blogland, and I’m hoping you’ll want to be a part of it. Every Friday, I’ll be featuring someone to share with readers.
While I do my best to find the features myself, don’t shy away from sending me a picture(s) of something you’d like featured! I’ll be honest—a quality photo that is high resolution works best. We’re visual people after all! Any features can be sent to jagirl44@gmail.com Subject line: Feature
I’ll be back soon!

Haven was a big success in my opinion! I enjoyed your session on painting and staining and picked up some good tips. And I am still putting away those wonderful products in those swag bags! Thanks for all your hard work to make this event such a huge success.
Haven 2012 was wonderful! I enjoyed your Decor 101 session. 🙂 Can’t wait for Haven 2013!

It was a huge HUGE success! Y’all did such an amazing job. Your session with Kate was one of my favorites! I may have already started staining something this morning. 🙂
My head is still spinnin’ and I can’t wait till next years Haven!! You girls did an awesome job and I enjoyed every second. I only wish I could have sat down and had a good ole’ chat with you and the girls. So good to say we have now met. Try to enjoy your summer now and have fun!
Blue balls…I’m still giggling. Seriously, I can’t stop. I have a bad case of Anderson Cooper giggling like a school girl…tears are running down my face 😀

It was hands-down a huge success and I’m sending you a virtual high-5 right now!! Thank you (all) so much for all the hardwork you put into it. Loved it all and cannot wait to go back next year!
And I am soo giggling over the blue balls comment! I live by a town name Blue Balls… which is right by Intercourse… which is right by Paradise… (and totally not joking!)
You Must Be Joking! Has David Letterman heard about this? Where in the world is all this going on? Made my day!
Well, maybe I can make your Tuesday too because we also have a town called Bird-In-Hand! http://www.squidoo.com/pennsylvania-town-names
I can’t wait to hear your take on the conference…I love all the re-caps today! Yay for Feature Friday’s too!
Friend, you have NO idea how sad I was to not hang out with you. Like how can we all meet up before next year? Oh, you all can’t accommodate me?? Just think about it. 🙂

Thanks so much for all that went into Haven! Yes, it was a success! I’m new to your blog and am viewing it on my trusty iPad. I learned at Haven, not to activate the Mobile version, because of how cruddy the post looks! You have about 40,000 subscribers, but I hope you’re going to consider this new pearl I learned at the now famous Haven, 2012!
Best to you,
Barbara
Oh jeez, I just saw how to turn OFF the iPad version! Sorry about the 17 comments here. All better!
Haven was amazing! I really enjoyed your Decor 101 session. One of the first things I did when I got home was mention the board and batten idea (for our great room with vaulted ceilings) to my husband again. I’m going to keep working on him. He’ll wear down eventually. Thanks for all your hard work on Haven!
