A big T H A N K S to all the gals that made it to the Grand Rapids/Gussy meet-up last week!! So what if we talked for over 150 minutes ;] It was amazing and I’m sooooo glad you came ~

{from the left} Molly with idance, me, Dee with Red Leter Words, Jill with Cora Anne Designs, Momma Gus & friends, Jill with The Diaper Diaries, Andrea with Simple Organized Living, Jolon with Savvy Chic Savings [not pictured: Mary with Island Girl Bags]

What did we talk about? Blissdom, blogging, boys. Other non-B named things include: “tums”, sewing, christmas lights and hoarders.

I know there were more of you that wanted to come but the silly winter/Michigan weather interrupted. Maybe next time?! You know there will be a next time :]

*

A few days before leaving for Michigan I was running errands in Minnesota and a lovely gal came up to me and asked me if I was Gussy. Of course my heart skipped a beat. I was a little nervous about having a Grand Rapids meet-up {what if no one comes? what if I spill coffee on myself?} But those things didn’t happen and it was so fun! That little moment at the store in MN was just practice for the meet-up, I suppose :] God knows I love to be prepared {and I say that in all seriousness (lol) }.

xoxo

    I am not a blogger, but have been a self-employed business owner for many years and I just want you to know how much I respect (and admire) you and I do truly realize how much work you put into your business. Good luck and ENJOY!!

    Was such a pleasure to see you again. Hope you enjoyed the time home with your family and friends! I have to say, the most hilarious moment was brought to us by the letter “S”. hehe ;)

    Yay for fun bloggy meet-ups!

    I’m so glad I could make it…even if my house was still consumed by boxes {which, by-the-way, are all unpacked and organized now!}

    Hope you had a great Christmas…we’ll see if I show up at Blissdom or not!

    I reeeeeally wanted to come meet you, but we were traveling out of town that day. Honestly, I was a little nervous to come too because I thought I’d be the only person you wouldn’t know! :) Did you know everyone who came?? Maybe I’ll come next time with my business partner, Laura!

    Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this web site before but after going through
    a few of the articles I realized it’s new to me. Regardless, I’m certainly pleased I found it and
    I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back
    often!
