Several months ago, I first heard about the Relevant Conference. Relevant was born as three wonderful women (bloggers) talked about living intentionally. After reading Relevant’s mission statement, I was hooked.
The Relevant Conference exists to offer a place of face to face interaction with Christian women bloggers who want to be relevant in the larger blog and social media world. Our goal is to go beyond the surface into intentional blogging and real life living. We support women turning their hearts toward home and using their blogs to bless their families while also engaging the world for the glory of God. Relevant is a one-of-a-kind conference that seeks to engage women by teaching blogging techniques and social media skill while also urging and encouraging women to live fully integrated lives with their faith and family.
I’m thrilled to be attending Relevant in October! And I absolutely can’t wait to meet many online friends in real life! 
My sister, Kelly, opened Kelly Joy Boutique in April. Kelly Joy Boutique is your one-stop-shop for all kinds of handmade flair for girls of all ages. Kelly makes Daisy Hair Clips, Buttercup Hair Clips, Ruffle Ribbon Hair Clips, and Flower Brooches.
Besides the items that can be found in her shop, Kelly also makes custom items. She has made Kanzashi flower hairclips for bridal attendants as well as up to 30 flower brooches for one customer.
Collegiate Hairclips and/or Brooches are in the works, so if you have a favorite team, be sure to tell Kelly over on her Facebook page!
Kelly Joy Boutique is thrilled to be a sponsor of the Relevant Conference. Every Relevant attendee will be receiving a product from Kelly Joy Boutique! Squee! Since Kelly, who is expecting, won’t be attending Relevant in October, she asked me to give away her ticket on my blog! How fun!

My favorite are the gingham pigtail clips… how very sweet! I admired them around the 4th of July, I remember.

I have never gone to a blogging conference before. To be honest (and a tad corny), none of them have felt particularly “relevant” for this season in my life. I can only imagine how fulfilling it would be to attend a conference full of like-minded and inspiring women who can encourage each other. I have hopes that Relevant will not be as much of a “popularity contest” as some other conferences I’ve read about. I had enough of that in junior high.

I would love to have this ticket! I could not afford to buy a ticket to Relevant. I am a stay at home, homeschooling, blogging mom of 3, and it just wasn’t in the budget. I think the opportunities at Relevant will be huge! To network and learn from/with other christian woman! I just hope that if I don’t make it this year, maybe I can go next!
Thanks for this awesome opportunity to try to win a ticket!

I would LOVE to go to Relevant! I’ve actually been thinking (and praying) about it for nearly 5 weeks. I love blogging and I am at the point where I’m ready to step it up and take my blog to the “next level”. From everything I’ve heard so far, Relevant will be just the thing I need to do that.
I know it’s a step I need to take, but unfortunately, finances still play a role too…darn! I haven’t committed yet because I’m still trying to weigh all the options and see if there might be an opportunity for a partial sponsorship {or for fun giveaways like this!}
Thanks to you and Kelly Joy for offering this…I know whoever wins this ticket will be blessed by the conference and by your generosity!

I, too, was hooked after reading the mission statement for Relevant–specifically the line you highlighted in bold. God has definitely turned my heart towards home since having my son and blogging is a way I bless my family–capturing memories and stories I want my children to remember, encouraging other moms in the journey of motherhood by blogging for The MOB Society, sharing our faith and God’s provision for our lives, and yes, even monetarily blessing my family’s tight budget by promoting my Etsy shop (Stitches by Sara). I want to go to Relevant to learn more about the ins & outs of blogging and social media, be encouraged by other Christian bloggers through friendships/mingling/networking, and learn how to use my blog for Heavenly purposes…not promoting toothpaste and cleaning products. I’m already planning on going, but a free ticket sure would bless my family’s tight budget. Thanks for the opportunity ladies!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Orange Daisy Hairclip with Headband!

I want to attend Relevant because I think it will stretch my faith, introduce me to women of Godly character, and take my blog to new heights. The mission statement is what sold me and the fact that I can commute to it, if need be. I am super excited about this giveaway! The friendships and the speakers already stretch my faith, my mothering, my marriage, and so much online. I really just cannot wait to be surrounded by the speakers and attendees to take in their wisdom and experiences.

Mirinda´s last [type] ..Its soooo hot
Oh my, where do I start?! I really wanted to attend Relevant mainly for the fellowship with other women believers who love Christ and just happen to love blogging
I also really wanted to hear the guest speakers and soak up their wisdom. I contemplated attending Blogher last year but it just didn’t ‘feel’ right. From the moment Sarah Mae tweeted about it, I wanted to be there. I have accepted that God closed all doors for me NOT to go…but winning a ticket would be a huge OPEN one! 
Thanks for the opportunity!

monica @ paper bridges´s last [type] ..Hello Welcome to my lame Blog Hop ’10 party post
why do I want to go to Relevant? Because I would love to learn more about blogging, social networking in a Christ-honoring environment. I’ve been blogging since 2005 and have never been to any of the popular conferences you hear about due to finances (wow, does this economy stink!) and, mostly, I’m not sure I would fit in anywhere else but Relevant. A lot of my blog/twitter friends are going to Relevant too. I would be tickled to meet you all!
Relevant seems to be geared toward ministry and I do look at blogging, facebook, twitter as ministry, not so much as a profitable business for me.

And I so badly want to learn it, and get good at it. And use it to help make God famous. I would absolutely love the opportunity to go.

That Blue and White Floral Head band is just too cute!!
I want to go to the Relevant Conference to gain some real Christian vision for my blog. I want to be around other amazing women, get to know them and hear their story. I also really want to get out of the house. I love my kiddos but daddy has gotten to leave several times and it would be great for him to be home with the kids a bit!

I would love to go to the Relevant Conference.

I like the buttercup hair clip, especially the blue and white one. I’d love to see some UGA hair clips, too!
Jennifer´s last [type] ..The Tea Party
I would love to go to the Relevant conference for a few reasons. The first and main is that God has given me such joy from writing. My blog has given me a place to sort through my thoughts, to laugh at my parenting follies, and to confess where I want to improve. And the biggest blessing is to hear from others that my blog is helping them, as well. If the Relevant conference will help me learn how to reach others for God’s glory, then that is where I want to be!
I would also love to meet some of the fabulous women that I follow on Twitter, and, selfishly, the idea of a little break from the kiddos sounds really nice, too!
Unfortunately, the conference is quite far away from me, so I would need to buy airfare, as well. I don’t know if we can afford all of these costs right now, so if I won a ticket, I might be able to swing the rest!

I would love to go to Relevant for SO many reasons! My sponsor fell through and I cannot afford the ticket and stay. I have so many ideas bouncing around my head to influence women and I need VISION for my blog. I want so much to be there with like-minded bloggers and be encouraged and challenged. I am eager to learn how to balance life’s necessities and my desires for the blog. I feel like I have so much to say, so much to offer…but not enough time, not enough resources.
I would love to be at Relevant to hopefully soak in the wisdom and experience from seasoned/successful bloggers. Thanks so much for an awesome opportunity!
I don’t need a ticket- I’ve already got one… but I just want to say that the hair clips are adorable!
And Good Luck to all of you other ladies~ this is a fabulous prize!
I love the Zebra & Hot pink brooches!

I would love to go to Relevant and meet other Christian bloggers and learn how to balance my blog with my family and Christian walk (with Christ first and family before blogging!) There are so many wonderful women who will be speaking at the conference and attending that I would love to get the chance to meet and develop friendships with! (And strengthen the relationships with those I have already met!)
If I was to win a ticket we could afford for my husband to go with me on the trip so he can help me care for our son [since I'm nursing I can't leave him several days and I'm afraid a 6 month old would be a distraction to other attendees...due to fussiness & cuteness
!]
How wonderful for Kelly to bless another blogger with this opportunity!

I would love to attend this conference because I love blogging and the outlet it gives us to share with others about the things we enjoy and things that are close to our hearts. I have personally witnessed the amazing tool that blogging can be to encourage, uplift and challenge women. I feel blessed to be a part of the world of mommy blogging and love the friends I have met here. I believe that blogging is a God-given way for women in our day to connect on a deeper level and encourage one another in motherhood, marriage, and personal relationship with God. Yeah for blogging! I’d love to meet other bloggers with that same passion!
