I had a dream that I met all of my favorite bloggers and had what felt like a family reunion!
Well, it really wasn’t a dream but it felt like it given how fast everything happened. Leaving Atlanta at 6:40AM, arriving in New York to spend the day with Candice (my high school friend) and a gaggle of wonderfully talented and beautiful people, attending a taping of The Nate Show, then dashing back to the airport to catch a 8:00pm flight the same night felt like life was happening at lightening speed. Good thing I had my camera and these pics to remind myself that it was, in fact, real!

The meetup reminded me of when I was in elementary school and would write my pen pal in Japan. The difference here is that I got a chance to meet (and even hug) my pen pals in person.
Aside from cheering each other on in our design endeavors, sharing in family joys and woes, we’ve all established a kinship that brings happy feelings when one of us is mentioned.

HI, Erika, so glad I got to meet you! I feel especially kindred spirits with you cause I grew up in metro ATL too. Even though I didn't get to hang out with you very long, I could tell you are just a sweet & gentle person. So glad we all got to connect a little!
