Hometalk & Michaels Pinterest Party Recap

There are three stores in this world that get me so excited that my heart beats a little faster when I’m about to enter: IKEA, Uniqlo and Michaels. So when I was asked by Hometalk to host the Pinterest Party at Michaels, of course I said yes! (Maybe one day I will be asked to host a party at Uniqlo. I would gladly fold jeans if that’s what it would take.)

By the way, do you all know Hometalk? It’s a home and garden social networking site that features great bloggers sharing their projects. Join it. I’m on Hometalk, so that should be reason enough, right?

Anyway, I hosted the Pinterest Party at the Michaels in Hawthorne, California. It is a big, gorgeous Michaels store. The staff helped me set up the party right at the front entrance, so I knew we were gong to have a good time.

Here are some of the finished masterpieces.michaels6michaels4michaels7

Since I am in this month’s issue of “Where Women Create” in the “Men Who Make It” feature, I had an impromptu autograph-signing session. We got all the copies available in the store and they sold out!michaels5

What a fun way to spend the afternoon. I love to create with people. Creating is the opposite of destruction. And when we get together to create, we manifest a positive force in this world.

Thanks to everyone at Michaels and Hometalk for making this possible!
