This little Betty went to Quilt Market.....

I got so busy blogging about MY experiences at quilt market that Betty never got a chance to show off her fun time there as well!

Flat Betty and I headed off to the Portland Spring Quilt Market in Style of Course! Nothing like an Amy Butler carry-on to set the mood for the fabric extravaganza we were in for!

Flat Betty and I hit the Fabric 2.0 party that evening hosted by Michael Miller Fabrics and J Caroline Creative.

Before heading out the next day for interviews at quilt market, our favorite Boutique podcaster, Daria of Boutique Cafe warmed up her voice and interview skills with Betty! We love you DARIA!

And every girl has to pay attention to her figure right? Flat Betty wasn't shy when it came to diggin' into the yummies they had available in the press room. She also made sure Megan kept that bun in the oven safe and fed too! ;)

And it wasn't all work and no play for Flat Betty! She did the downtown shopping with the all the girls too! Here's her first time ever stepping foot inside a Nordstrom Rack:

and Flat Betty loves a good knock off for cheap! She delved into the accessories with me while browsing Forever 21:

Flat Betty topped off her trip with not one but two trips to Macaroni Grill to eat and gab with the girls! Thanks Portland for a great trip!

Betty's got a "HAPPY" sponsor!

Flat Betty is just Thrilled about her new sponsor - Happy Shack Designs! Kelly the owner and artistic force behind her designs jumped at the opportunity to sponsor Betty for 3 months (Jan - March). We are thrilled to be teamed up her.

Kelly sent along a little message for us to share with you: "Hi! I'm Kelly Warren, the force behind Happy Shack Designs. I live in a happy little shack on the river in Jacksonville, Florida, with my husband and twin daughters. Happy Shack Designs is a dream long in the dreaming. I've wanted to create my own business doing some sort of artwork for as long as I can remember.

Happy Shack Designs is an artisan jewelry and accessories company. My goal is to bring you a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art that brightens your day every time you wear it! Sometimes I also get a wild hair and go off on completely different creative tangent with projects, so those will pop up in the "Who Knows What?" area on my site when available.
On a personal note, I love the outdoors, play the guitar badly, play the piano fairly well, sing somewhere in the middle, love to bake (I leave the real cooking to my husband...), and have the most adorable little red-headed twin daughters ever seen (comin' from a proud Mama); they are the light of my life. You'll often find pictures of them on my blog. I also work a full-time job in addition to all this fun stuff so our world is a little crazy! Thanks for checking out Happy Shack Designs!"

Thank you to Happy Shack Designs for being a "Betty" Herself and sponsoring Flat Betty's mileage through the end of March! Stop by and tell her "Betty" Sent you!
