Ga. Bloggers the name tags.... Part II

The name tags were incredible!!! I will start with mine...

Guess what each person does as you look at their name tag.....
Debbie's name tag was my favorite.... I do love vintage!!

One of my favorite name tags!!

I wonder who this name tag belongs to???

One of my favorite blogs.....

Not only did she make her name tag, she made the outfit she wore!

Wow.... That's all I could say......

She's a Queen......

I'm Blogging This..... Part I

Yes, I have to blog about my adventure yesterday with the Southern Belle Georgia Bloggers!

What an opportunity to gather twelve very talented and incredible women. After being together for only a hour, we knew that we were kindred spirits. We had ties that bound us so close together. The love of blogging, art, the love of family, husbands but the tie that was the strongest was our love for the Lord. I felt so blessed as I left Hoschton having met new sisters in Christ that I shared so many interest with. I know this will be the first of many gatherings to come. Thank you ladies for blessing me with a day full of love and laughter!

My treasured little nest necklace from Sharon! Thanks Sharon for taking the time to put this wonderful day together for all of us! Your generosity, time and kindness went far beyond what anyone could have ever imagined for the gathering.

Me and Sharon!

Susan from Art of Mine made this wonderful apron for the event. We were ask to make name tags so that everyone would know each other. Susan's name tag was a walking ad for her wonderful blog. I could believe all the work she put into her beautiful apron. Just a little note.... She had forgot her apron at home (a good way's from our little restaurant) but her loving husband drove all the way back to pick it up for her so that she could share it with us. Love to the fullest! Tomorrow I will share more name tags with you!!! Unbelievable!

Don't forget about Saturday.....

Because it is the first time we are getting together I thought we would start casual, very casual, blue jeans and comfy shoes. Then we could work our way up to the elegant
Victorian Mansions of Georgia, (maybe in the fall). We wanted to make it as inexpensive as possible so everyone could come.
It seemed everyone was favoring a
Saturday so all of the working ladies could come too.

The owner, Karen, is so excited to have us come to her
quaint little restaurant on
