Blogging Get Together- So much fun!

2 weeks ago, I had the fun opportunity to meet with some local girls for the first annual “Tour de Thrift”.

We had a delicious breakfast- TONS of food! I should’ve just ordered the muffin- my breakfast ciabatta was huge and way too filling. (Oh, and on that note, sorry to whoever was expecting to take home the other half of their muffin and got a to-go box with the other half of my ciabatta instead. After all the picture taking was through, our boxes were switched and I came home with your muffin! Oops! Lesson of the day: Always check your box before you leave to make sure you have the right one!!!)

Unfortunately, I had to “eat and run” and wasn’t able to stay for the shopping, which is a shame because I love a good thrift store excursion. I’ve lived in AZ for 5 years and had no idea there were 3 Goodwill stores within 30 minutes of my home!

Special thanks to Jax and Ashley for the fun event. And another shout out to all the sponsors who donated prizes for the raffle and goodies for the swag bags! Best swag bags EVER! If you’re in AZ, you should come next year! (There will be a next year, right Jax & Ashley?)

Here is a collage of some of the pictures I got with my camera:

Middle (left to right): me and Kendra (so fun to meet her finally!); Maka & Kelli; me & AnnMarie
Bottom: Kristyn, Jax & Ashley

I also got to meet 3 new friends whom I didn’t get any pictures of! Kelly from Everyday Childhood , Hannah from Rubies and Pearls, and  Sharla  from my little gems. They are all so sweet!

This really was a fun day! I am so glad I was able to meet some of the awesome creativity that exists in blogland! Jax, Ashley and I have already met up once more at Chuck E. Cheese. Bloggers are so fun!

    Ha ha! So funny! I got the rest of your ciabatta! I hope you enjoyed my muffin. :-)

    Your picture of me, is way better than my picture of me.

    We should do another get together. If you ever want to do a blog swap or anything, let me know! What might be fun is to do a blogger craft night or something, where we get the materials for a few projects and get together to make them. Just some thoughts…

    It was great to meet you!
