Florida Blogger Meetup

So, last weekend was the Florida Martha Stewart Dreamers into Doers blogger meetup.  We met for the first time as a group last February in Orlando at Downtown Disney.  We had a great time at our  February meetup .

So since that time, I have gotten to know many of the ladies better and have totally enjoyed building friendships and business relationships.  I COMPLETELY believe my business has grown because of the tips and hints I have learned from some of these ladies. 

So, I was excited for the opportunity to meetup with these fabulous ladies again.  Over the summer I spoke to Melissa from Truly Chic Inspirations about the meetup and agreed to help organize the meetup along with Lauren McKinsey and Lavonne  from LF Events.  We had a good time working and planning together. We met at a cute little restaurant in Mt. Dora called Garden Gate Tea Room.

Here are some photographs from our day!

We had FANTASTIC swag bags (more on this very soon!), thank you to all who gave items or gift certificates. 

I have to say... that room was FILLED with more talent and PURE energy than should be allowed by law!  Go take a peek at their blogs, sites and shops and make sure to find this talented group on facebook.

AND, it was so nice to meet/see you ladies!
