We have arrived at the Ace and I just wanted to do a quick post before the evening festivities start to say that this place rocks! Be back soon with more pics!

We are packing our bags...

and heading to the amazing Ace Hotel in Palm Springs to attend Crafting Community. It's the ultimate family getaway headed by crafter extraordinaire Karen Kimmel of Kimmel Kids. This weekend offers an easy oasis of crafting, creativity, community and imagination for kids and parents alike. My girls are so excited! Kid Concierge, a lifestyle marketing company is hosting the event, as well as some fantastic sponsers like Vans and California Baby.

Our very own photo editor, Steven Visneau, will be documenting the event as well as heading up a few photo classes for kids. Small will be there documenting the artwork of all the children. You can follow the event and see the amazing artwork produced on line here at the Small Magazine Crafting Community Gallery.
