meet 'n greet recap
let me start by saying, thank you. thank you to everyone who helped plan, sponsor, advertise, or attended our first event! the best part of the meet 'n greet was hands-down connecting face to face and creating real relationships with people. i connected with so many in brief spurts, but now when i receive comments from these friends on my blog or our paths cross again, you will now be a familiar face. the ground work is set.
shelby and i have a vision. we have a vision of what we want the "utah bloggers" site to be, and what we want it to convey. first and foremost: community. a place that includes bloggers, readers, shops, and buyers all wrapped up in one. a community that is capable of collaborating, sharing ideas, supporting one another, and conquering together.
surround yourself with people who believe in you. and so it began, last wednesday ---
the meet 'n greet was held at soel, shelby's savvy boutique -
KSL Studio 5 was a generous, supportive sponsor. they set-up a tent out front and held their own giveaways all evening. plus, interviewed some of the bloggers for segments on studio 5. you can see my brown paper krafts + the cute soel doily's featured here.
susan via freshly picked is showing-off the cookies alison made! some amazing utah pride sugar cookies...
shelby, moi, and becky kimball - our fabulous photographer.
nicole from elsa bags was our yarn ball guru. i loved that she was sharing one of her craft skills with the little mister hanging out in his high chair right next to her. you can find more of her homemade goodies here.
annie set-up the photo booth backdrop for us, have you seen her sweatshop goods?
our talented graphics gal, heather from milk glass and honey + KSL's Brooke Walker, co-host of studio 5.
caroline of armelle blog worked the crowd like a pro - our moms even connected before the night was over!
stephanie from gatehouse no. 1 represented the interior design bloggers, if you haven't been to her store on state street in Orem, you need to stop by soon!
merrilee was in attendance with her stylin' geeky glasses - check her out over at mer mag.
shelley from the house of smith's put her d*i*y + home makeover projects on hold to stop by!

all photos were taken by becky kimball. if you are in need of family photos, senior pictures, a wedding photographer, or have a special event coming up - i would recommend becky. she's taken pictures of our family + events for me a dozen times, and they are always incredible.
