Introducing: The Bee's Knees

Hello, again!  It's been awhile, I know!  We had a good Spring Break and now the kids are back in school for a short 2 months until summer vacation.  I am ready and so excited to attend the SNAP Conference this weekend where I will be rubbing shoulders with some of the best creative bloggers out there.

And speaking of the best, I would like to introduce to you a new segment here on Hello, New Day called "The Bee's Knees":

What is The Bee's Knees?
Each week I will featureprojects/creations/decor/productsthat were posted that week on the blogs that I readthat I think are The Bee's Knees - the best of the best!
One thing I hoped to accomplish when I created Hello, New Day was to share some of the extraordinary creativity that is out there in the blogosphere.  I am constantly amazed and inspired by what I see and now I will be able to share that with you!
So, without further adieu, let's get to the first edition of The Bee's Knees!
This week, in honor of SNAP!, I'd like to share three of my favorite projects (from any time, not just this past week) from 3 bloggers who will be speaking at the conference.  These ladies are my blogging heroes and I'm pretty sure I'll turn into a bumbling idiot if I get the chance to meet them this weekend. :)

Laundry Room Reveal - The House of Smiths

  

This is the blog post that started it all.  A couple of years ago I stumbled upon Shelley's blog when she wrote about redoing her laundry room.  I love EVERYTHING about this project and I guess it will always have a special place in my heart since it was this post that kept me coming back to Shelley's blog and from there to other creative blogs, which all inspired me to create Hello, New Day.  Shelley continues to inspire with fun projects and fun reading.  Check out her latest projects at The House of Smiths like her recent entryway closet makeover! 

Painting a Kitchen Table - Centsational Girl
Kate, from the amazing blog, Centsational Girl, is another blogging/DIY gal whom I admire.  I've read her blog for about as long as Shelley's and I am always super impressed with the projects that Kate tackles.  Recently she gave an ugly, $45 thrift-store table a makeover that you've got to see to believe!  It's one of those projects that makes me excited to check in on her blog everyday.  I always look forward to seeing what Kate has to share. 

Stenciled Ceiling - Not Just a Housewife
I found Stacy's blog, Not Just a Housewife, about a year ago when she shared her stenciled ceiling project.  Who says ceilings need to be painted white?  Check out what Stacy did to the ceiling in her master bedroom!  

Again, it's this level of creativity that just makes me practically giddy!  Genius!

These three blogging girls will be at SNAP!  And so will 57 other unbelievably awesome creative bloggers.  It's really like the "Who's Who" of the Creative Blogging world.  And those are just the speakers!!  There are a bunch of other very cool bloggers who are attending this conference.  It'll be awesome and I'll be sure to keep you posted on what's going on at the conference.  Make sure you're following me on Twitter if you're interested in real-time updates.  I'm learning how to tweet and will do my best to tweet often!
Thank you for stopping by Hello, New Day today!  I wish you a fantastic day and I hope that you've found a bit of inspiration here.
