As you may have figured out if you follow my Twitter stream or have seen around Blogland, I went to the Blissdom conference this past weekend in Nashville. I had a really wonderful time connecting with some of my favorite bloggers who were in attendance, learning enough to make my head swim, and hugging some new friends…

…including the Nester. She told me she loved me this much. I pink puffy {heart} her.
But, instead of boring with you on stories of how wonderful everyone was in person (they REALLY are!!) and how much fun I had (I REALLY did!!), I thought I’d take this time to introduce you to some of the gals I enjoyed meeting. Some are bloggers who were on my “give a big hug to” list, but others were bloggers I had never read before. You likely know and love many of these ladies, but if you don’t, I’d like for you to take a peak at their blogs and fall in love like I did.

I hope you can find a few new favorites from my list (and I desperately hope I didn’t leave anyone out). If you find any broken links, please let me know and I’ll fix them!
It was such a joy to meet you and all the hommies whom I simply adore. I wish we all lived on the same street. Our town would totally hate us for all the spray painting, swapping, yard saleing, and craziness we would create. It would be heavenly.
I am just starting a blog too- so in awe and inspired by all these popular successful blogs. I also have a simple, free design. Hope I can be half as interesting as these other gals! Anyone with advice, I am open to suggestions.
I pink puffy {heart} you. I'm so glad we were able to have breakfast together Sunday morning. You are just so sweet, cool, fun, etc.
I heart Lindsay! Thanks for the double shout out! : )
I haven't written a thing yet, but one of my favorite parts of Blissdom was meeting you:-) Hopefully we can see each other again soon. Go Texas girls!!
So glad I got to meet you!! 🙂
Thank you for the list. I'll have to visit them all!
Thanks for the list!! Sounds like a blast!
As a very new blogger with a simple free design, I am enjoying inspirations from all of these blogs. Thanks for sharing and any advice you could give is welcomed. Mine if very new.
Thanks for the shout-out. You were the HIGHLIGHT of my trip!!
XOXO
WOOT! It was so great to meet you and all the homebloggers and like Nester, I would LOVE to have you all on my street. That just sums it up.
Thanks for the list, there are a couple I had yet to discover! Not sure if you were trying to list "everyone" but I think Layla from The Lettered Cottage was there too wasn't she? Awesome awesome blog….
Yay!!! We DID have fun, didn't we? Oh how I wish we could all live on the same street, that Nester girl is SOOOO smart, isn't she? Of course, I'd want it to be a street in Texas, without all this snow. 🙂
Thanks so much for a)for the kind shout out and b)for stopping by my site! Really fun to meet you at Blissdom! I came away from it a bit overwhelmed but super excited about putting it all into practice! Will try to find you on Twitter, too, as I'm brand new to the fun there! Looking forward to following your blog!
I stalked you gals on twitter all week. Looks like you all had a great time. A teensy, weensy bit jealous, though. Just more motivation to start saving for next year!
How fun! I love checking out new blogs to heart! Thanks for sharing!! I'm a new blogger and I hope to join a fun group like you guys soon! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Such a great idea to list everyone and their blogs! So wish I could have been there too :)!
Thank you for listing everyone. I'm excited to visit new, fun blogs!
