The Bella Bash, a local blogger meet-up

When I started blogging four years ago, I don't think I ever thought I would meet any other bloggers in real life. It seemed a little crazy, meeting friends you made online, but I have come to know that bloggers are some of the best people in the world. I had the opportunity to meet up with some bloggers and other wonderful crafty people from Utah's Creative Guild at the Bella Bash hosted at Durham Brands.
I am always floored to see the creativity of people, just look at the beautiful cake and wonderful spread of food. It was a wonderful night with wonderful ladies. We made a craft, ate delicious food and eyed all of the pretty products on display including Kaboo Bags and CeCe Caldwell's Paints, wishing our husbands wouldn't disown us if we brought them all home with us at once.
While there we got to try out the Imaginisce I-Top, which is a fabulous tool that allows you to make fabric covered buttons with any fabric you want.
I may have had to have one. Shhh.... don't tell my husband. Alright, he already knows I can't stay away from crafty tools.
We used the I-Top to make buttons for fun bracelets.
The best part of the night? Seeing this little angel. Isn't she beautiful?  Amy from Ameroonie Designs was nice enough to bring her baby for me to coo to all night.
Not only did I get to see this gorgeous little one, but I actually won one of the door prizes, a spa day at Life Aveda. It was my first ever facial and eyebrow waxing and only the second time I have had a massage. It was all fabulous! I highly recommend them.
Lorene from Just Lu, Me and Amy from Ameroonie Designs. Yes, I know Lu's eyes are closed, but we only have the one picture.
Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings and me.

Getting together with blogging friends is fun and always full of laughs. If you haven't already, get together with bloggers in your area, you won't regret it.
