bloggin' buddies.

Two Fridays ago, I spent an evening with a group of really fabulous ladies:

{from L to R: Whitney, Lis, NCF, Rachel, moi & my friend, Katie}

Any guess as to where we ate dinner??

We had an amazing night of wine sippin', food munchin' & non-stop chatterin'.

I cannot wait until we can all get together again.

Lis & I have met up quite a few times - usually for coffee & a quick jaunt through the mall. I got to visit with Lis again this weekend & I also met her friend, J. After a much needed morning meeting at Starbucks, we went to a holiday craft show benefiting our local children's hospital. We also went to see Whitney who was one of the many vendors at the show. {Um, if you need some good ideas for holiday gifts, please check out Whitney's store. Seriously.}

Ugh. What an unflattering picture of me, but we just HAD to get a pick next to Whitney's pink Christmas tree!

We had a lot of fun at the craft show! There were so many vendors to visit & so many raffles to enter! Lis & I were both thrilled to receive phone calls later in the evening letting us know we won. Lis won a set of holiday-themed Tervis tumblers {her favorite!} and my lucky dog, Frisco, made out because I won a gift basket full of doggy goodies:

Meeting your blogging friends is pretty exciting & amazing all at the same time. I know for some that it's just plain weird to even fathom meeting someone who 'lives in your computer.' But, you know what? I encourage you to. You won't be disappointed. In fact, I'm sure you'll be quite thankful you did.
