I had so much fun this past weekend taking part in a local North Carolina Blogger meet up hosted by Kathy of Up to Date Interiors and Madison of Wetherills Say I Do. We met at the lovely Busy Bee Cafe in Downtown Raleigh for a couple hours of chatting, connecting, learning and great food! Seeing as how this was my first experience with a blogger get together, I went in nervous and shy, but left feeling like I had new friends and allies in this online world.

I’m not going to lie, I thought about backing out and not going at the last minute. Besides having a ton on my plate, we had packed up and were leaving on a month long vacation directly afterwards. I was telling myself that I was too busy, but I am so glad that I made the time.
And did I mention that we got these adorable little swag bags from mostly NC stores and companies? Big thanks to Mindful Skin Therapy, SaraDoes, Morgan Alexandra, Hardin Studios, LaurelingStudio, Carolina Charm Wreaths, Queen B’s Busy Work, Essential Lines by Erin and to Linda Mendible for speaking with us all.
Girl, I’m SO glad you decided to come! I know that feeling though, of wanting to back out of something right at the last minute, especially when you don’t know people! So thankful that you came and we got to meet! I can’t wait to follow along with your blog now 🙂 You definitely have some new blogger friends!

Thanks Madison! You gals did a fantastic job putting it together, and I can’t wait to come to future meet ups!
So glad you went and enjoyed it! Some of the best times I have had were at events I tried to talk myself out of. :0)
Looks as if the meet-up was a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy your recycled wine cork keyring! It was a pleasure to create them and provide them for the swag bags!
