Midwest Bloggers Meetup

Lynne and I attended the Midwest Bloggers Meetup in Naperville, IL this past weekend.
It was held at a cute little shop called Room 363.
There were 25 bloggers gathered from four different states:  Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Kentucky.
I was able to meet a few bloggers I have followed for quite some time and I met a few new ones.
It was a nice gathering.  Everyone introduced themselves and talked a bit about our blogs.  We had some lovely refreshments, chatted, mingled and shop around the store.


Several people brought goodies for the goodie bags.  I received some very lovely things.  Here is a picture of my favors.

After we left the shop, we met up with our dear friend Penny and enjoyed lunch at Five Guys.
The group had a few more things planned, however, we headed over to Bedford Park for a quick visit with Jackie, Joffrey and Joslyn.  I was lucky enough to get JoJo up from her nap to get in a quick squeeze and a kiss.  She is so adorable.!  Getting so big so quick.

A great weekend get away.  A nice event.  Thanks to Jennifer Rizzo for your organizing efforts.

    Fun to be at this event together, sitting side by side and we each see different things and connect with different people. Amazing isn't it!
