I’m home! I’m absolutely exhausted, but I’m home! Did I have a fabulous time? Yes, I did! Thanks for asking! I already shared a little bit about Blissdom ‘11 with you- the swag and getting my picture taken with Melissa Peterman.
The conference did not disappoint.
Despite my nerves and shyness I managed to meet some fabulous women (and a few men!) that I hope will be the start of some wonderful friendships!
Thursday and Friday were two full days filled with food, conference sessions, food, sponsor booths, massages, food, learning, tweeting, fun, and entertainment (did I mention food?)!
Ruth and I had so much fun dressing up as YoCrunch fruit flavors for a chance to win an iPad. Ruth was a strawberry and I was a blueberry.
Jockey gave us FREE undies! Don’t you just love the zebra? I also won a $25 shopping spree to Jockey.com!
Blue Bunny was one of the sponsor this year and they made their brand new mini ice cream cones available to us throughout the conference. Here, Alexandra (aka my mom) and I are enjoying our ice cream- YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!!
Here Tshanina and I are making the most of our time in the Bounce Sponsor Suite. Are you a sheet person or a bar person?

Thursday night we had the opportunity to attend the (in)courage Beach Party where we were given all these beautiful DaySpring products.
Each night we were entertained.
Michelle Branch and Mat Kearny performed Thursday night.
Chris Mann and Crystal Bowersox performed Friday night.
I loved seeing Crystal perform! I was totally rooting for her to win American Idol! She has such a beautiful voice! Her husband and son were both in attendance and her husband even joined her on stage for a song. Too Cute!
Would I go back? Absolutely!

How do you get to go to this>?
I had so much fun hanging out with you on Friday; thanks for letting me tag along. I'm so glad you didn't put that picture of the two of us by the glass sculpture up. That was definitely not my most flattering picture. (wink, wink). Talk to you soon!

I was hoping she would of won also…
Wow, it looks like so much fun. I wanna go next year!
Yes! Would love to meet you!
Wonderful to see you had such a good time. It is so hard to head for those places where we don't know anyone. Please share what you learned.
Thanks Sunnysimple! It is definitely out of my comfort zone meeting new people, but it was worth it and you learn that most people are feeling the same way!
