Blissdom 2010—Words Elude Me

 

It’s not often that I can’t think of anything to say.  Usually the words tumble out faster than I can think them.  Or censor them.  Or edit them. 

This skill tends to get me in trouble.

 

But, today, as I try to process the magic that was the Blissdom 2010 conference, I can’t grasp the letters to convey my thoughts adequately. 

This past weekend was AMAZING.  Blog changing, if not life changing.  I learned SO much.  Big stuff, little stuff, and everything in between stuff.

 

I met people that previously only existed in my imagination and on my laptop. 

 

Every single one of them is even more FABULOUS in person than she is in my computer. 

 

A few even approached me to say that they read MY blog.  That was freakin’ awesome.

Gosh, for someone who couldn’t think of anything to say, I’ve sure rattled on a little.  Now for some pictures.

 

First of all, if you haven’t been to the Opryland Hotel, you’ve just got to go sometime.  I’ve never seen anything like it.

These were  taken INSIDE, people.

Speaking of people:

Kate, from Censational Girl, and Lindsay, from Living with Lindsay were there!  Sweet and oh so talented, these two are.

And Rhoda (Southern Hospitality), AnNicole (Our Suburban Cottage), and Traci (Beneath My Heart)!

Blissdom 2010 023Emily from Remodeling This Life (in the middle, next to Kate), is one of my favorite people, and JJ, The Blah Blah Blahger is the coolest girl EVA.   JJ is a fabulous photographer, she took some shots of me on Saturday, so brace yourself, for soon my mug will be all over this blog.

 

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

 Blissdom 2010 027Why, here I am now, with Jess, from Frugal With A Flourish.

Here’s AnNicole again, Sarah (Thrifty Decor Chick), Beckie (Infarrantly Creative), and Julia (Hooked on Houses)!

One last pic, a group of “homies”!  This one includes Julie, from Angry Julie Monday.  You know what?  She’s really not angry at all…

I can’t believe I didn’t get one picture of The Nester.

See you tomorrow for Trash to Treasure Tuesday!
