Shirley, I so wish I could have attended! It sounds like it was wonderful and so informative! You had the best speakers, so many amazing bloggers in one place!
Looks like a great time Shirley. It’s always fun to spend time with like-minded souls. Hmmm, I keep scrolling back to those cakes. I guess you know where you could have found me, had I been there.
What amazing fun…………how in the world do I happen to miss these, is there a flyer of upcoming events…I am not a blogger as of yet and can see/read the tremendous projects, fun in thrifting and decorating galore, every thing that I love or am obsesssssed and so good to see that I am not the only one….thank you for posting, I love your blog..Love & Blessing, Lady Delores.
Such a fun time, indeed! Thanks for being the “official photographer” and also for all you did to make the conference the success that it was. I was so privileged to be part of the amazing planning team for the SBC, and I feel like I’ve made some lifelong friends as a result of it.
And I agree, Suzanna’s was an amazing place! I can’t wait to go back there to shop again.
Sounds like such a wonderful conference Shirley. How great to meet and hear from wonderful fellow bloggers.
Hugs,
Jann
