Blogger {dinner}




Since I was coming out west for the month of July, I knew I wanted to meet up with a few of my blog friends.  I feel like I have known them for so long, so it was only fitting to meet up in real life. :)
My very sweet friend, Becca of From Gardners 2 Bergers, helped me host the fun event.
I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with.  Becca is such a kind person, who is so very thoughtful.  I definitely wish we could do this more often. :)

We chose to meet at Brick Oven for dinner.  We knew we wanted to keep the group small enough that we could actually have full conversations & get to know each other, rather than small chit-chat.

And we definitely achieved that.  I had some really awesome conversations with these ladies, and was also able to learn new tips & tricks to help with my own blog.

I already knew some of these ladies pretty well, just by following their blogs, so when we actually met in person, it was like we were old friends having a girls night!

I also met a lot of new bloggers that were so completely sweet {and real}!

 We laughed & chatted for a few hours.  I LOVED getting to know all of them more!

 
 Becca & I got some really awesome companies to help make the night even better!  
They were beyond generous!

Ginger @ Ginger Snap Crafts put together these adorable chalkboard labels for everyone.

Cut it Out donated several beautiful frames

My Vinyl Direct gave everyone a gift certificate

Sexy Modest Boutique also gave each person a gift card

And The Sweet Tooth Fairy shared some of their fabulous cake bites with the rest of us--they were AMAZING!

A huge thanks to all of these lovely sponsors!
And thanks to the local bloggers who came out to support the night!

It was So great. I'm glad you guys thought to keep it small I wouldn't have even considered that but it was so nice to have real meaningful conversations instead of just hints at ones. Thanks again it was a blast.
