Where were you September 15th?? HOUSTON BLOGGER SYMPOSIUM

I'd been waiting for what seemed like forever to attend the "Houston Blogger Symposium". I was excited from the moment I found out about it!  Here I was a novice,wanna-be blogger and I was gonna get to chat with some of the best bloggers in Houston.  I rushed to the website to purchase my ticket and guess what...IT WAS SOLD OUT!!!..I knew that I had to figure out a way to go, so I posted a message on the #HBSymposium Facebook Page that I was willing to buy a ticket from anyone who couldn't attend.  I then
stalked the FB Page everyday waited patiently until they added a WAITLIST.  I am pretty sure I was the first person on it.  Not long after that I got and email from MEGAN at GreetingsfromTX, the Symposium Organizer, that they were allowing 7 more attendees and I was one of the first on the waitlist.  YES!!!

The symposium was held at Hotel ZaZa in the Museum District.  If you don't know about this place...GO!  They have the best shrimp and sliders at the Hotel bar ever!  NO! I never drank too many Martini's and decided to eat something to help with the dizziness. Uhm yeah, where was I, so anyway let me tell you about the event.

First, Let me introduce you to a few of my Houston Peeps:

Here are the AWESOME Ladies of the Panel: L to R=The MUCHO BUENO Girls-Kelly & Brandi, Kristina from PRETTY, SHINY, SPARKLY, Alicia from WHIMSEYBOX, Katy of SUGARLAWS, Laura from BLOG CON QUESO and of course, Megan on the end.



Did I mention the SWAG BAGS?  This event was heavily sponsored and I'm always glad to get swag:)


I learned so much and the day flew by.  It was engaging, informative, and just plain FUN!  I can't wait for the next one!  BTW, most pics are compliments of Paige Budde.  Thanks PAIGE!!!


Did you attend the Houston Blogger Symposium?? Are you attending next year??  Wanna sit by me?? Let me know.
