Recap: Texas Bloggers first DFW Bloggers' Meet Up!

On Saturday, September 08th, Julie from A Beautiful Day, Taylor from Goings On in Texas, and I hosted the first ever Texas Bloggers DFW Meet Up at A Piece of Work in Fort Worth!

The hostesses of the night

The eventful night was filled with goodies to munch on...

 

Wine to be enjoyed...




... and paintings to be drawn!





I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with and getting to know my fellow DFW Blogging gals. We truly are a little blogging community. Every woman I talked to that night was so kind, gracious, funny, and downright sweet! We may be online blogging pals, but rest assured my friendships with these ladies were truly affirmed that night. It's funny how bonds can be made through a little computer screen, isn't it?


I had the pleasure of meeting the following ladies that evening:
Julie at A Beautiful Day
Nicole at Three31
April at Red Dirt Mama
Becky at The Java Mama
Crystal at Mason's Mama
Jill at Nokoikonomia
Cynthia at Oh So Pinteresting




After a fun-filled night of blog talk, story swaps, painting, and wine, we all finally said our goodbyes and went our separate ways for the night... BUT, not before grabbing our take-home souvenir! Julie did a beautiful job decorating the keepsake boxes that held the homemade cupcakes I made for the event:





All in all, it was a fantastic time, and I can't wait for the next one! Thank you ladies for making this past weekend one to definitely remember! :-)


Oh, and PS, just so it's out there as photographic proof that I DID paint something in my life, here's me with my attempted painting from the evening's workshop... I think I'll stick to my art skills on cupcakes! haha ;-)

  2. Great post, Sarah! You are truly a sweetheart and I was thrilled to meet you. Your painting is great, but not quite as awesome as those cupcakes....thank you for the taking on that task - I would have gone to the bakery and your hardwork made them that much more special! Once I get my post up it is going to be prety anticlimatic as I am bringing up the rear (as usual), but it will happen!
