encouraging sisterhood + spring craft party recap

women often ask how i have formed such a tight knit tribe of beautiful, gifted friends. 
the answer is simple & yet quite difficult.
 answer: i make time for them.
the difficult part: i clear my schedule, set aside my to-do lists & love them even when it’s inconvenient. 
this weekend, brandy of bella vita jewelry & i hosted a spring craft party in little rock, arkansas. 
it’s an opportunity for women to come together & just be who they are – messy & creative.

among the crafting & good food, my hope is that they will come together & meet new people, form friendships & find those people that tick in the same way. 

this craft party was just that & so much more!
we enjoyed so much good food. cebe’s cookies made custom mason jar craft cookies & loblolly creamery served gourmet ice cream sundaes! we munched on pretzels & chocolate while sipping mimosas. 
the girls were downright spoiled with amazing swag from some of our favorite makers.
a big hug & thank you to –

my absolute favorite part was the crafting. these girls formed an instant connection & by the end of the project they were sharing their stories, talking about faith & sharing insight on family.
it was just so good, y’all.
 
let’s get honest. sometimes i wonder what the heck i am doing as a blogger, maker & influencer.
but at the end of the day, after leading a group of amazing women in an inspiring afternoon of making, i am left with a full heart. i am, above all else, encouraging community & sisterhood. 
what else can be more meaningful?
love,
natalie
