My super sweet & talented bloggy friend {that I met at The Creative Connection a few weeks ago}, Jen of Tater Tots & Jello is hosting a $200 Gussy Sews shop credit giveaway >> click here to see the post & learn how you could win! :]

I *just* got home from Blog Sugar, which was near Long Beach, CA!!! I spoke three times and am sooo appreciate and grateful for the opportunity {thank you Rachel & Jen & Andrea!}. Also, for your grace as I spoke for the first about about my biz {to like, 100 people — eeeek, nerves}! Click here to see some event pics by Ruthanne…

I’m taking the day off tomorrow and have some really fun things written on my 2″ x 2″ sticky note, and right now I’m working on convincing my hubbs to take me on a dinner date —wink!

Wish me luck! Happy Monday! xoxo

    Glad you survived both of your flights! I, too, get so nervous while flying so I totally feel your fear! So awesome to know that God is bigger than our fears and our flights. :) Thanks for the exciting giveaway.
