I've spent so much time preparing for Creative LIfe! I recently created a script for the events I attend. Basically this is a checklist on which I can easily see which tasks I have to complete in which week before the fair. Ideal for preparing for the fairs. Of course, it is also nice not to have a mental breakdown of all the things that still need to be done two weeks prior to the fair. I could go on and on about all the things that just worked out last minute, haha. The anniversary of the tenth fair is getting close, so I'm getting better at preparing.
You have already been able to read a lot of things about Creative Life via Instagram. It took a while before everything was concrete, so here is the blog with all the things you can do at Splendith during Creative LIfe. Creative Life is a really cool fair from March 29-31. If you want to know more about the fair, or buy a ticket, please visit their website. In my opinion, Creative Life is certainly my favorite among all the events I have attended so far.
Besides the fact that there are fun workshops to follow, we also have a huge shop with a lot of help! Remember last year? At that time the stand was far too small for the amount of people. I had no idea it would be this busy. So this year we come extra prepared, with plenty of space and lots of help. We aim for no lines at the checkout and enough space to look at the items. 25m2 for just the shop, will it be enough? ;).
Bullet journaling workshop
You can use a bullet journal as a calendar, diary, to-do list, sketchbook, diary, etc. But how exactly does it work? And how do you create beautiful pages yourself in a short time?
Nienke from @letter.type first explains the theory behind bullet journaling. By starting with the basics, it becomes much easier to really get started (and stay) with your bujo! Then you can use nice examples to create such a beautiful spread in your bullet journal yourself.

Ps, I have done my best to arrange fun workshops for you! Is there just no workshop for you? Then take a look at the Creative Life website. There you will find all the workshops that you can follow during this year's event. There are many more great exhibitors so it is definitely recommended to take a look!
