it was sooo fun exchanging stories, saying things like "i am the one that made that comment on your post about...." this is why this event was so nice, i found blogger obsessed gals, like me..i did have a few eyebrows raise, at home, when i mentioned that i was going to meet some "blogger friends" that i had never met before and have a trunk show and explore a beach town..seemed perfectly normal to me...so so happy i did...i found my peeps!
