It was a wonderful time, seeing friends and making new ones, sharing blogging pointers, and simply enjoying a girls' night out!

I'd like to thank our sponsors:

Whitney Howard Designs for providing our first-time attendees with Inspire keys.

Pauline's Handmade Brittle for fattening us up with her yummy peanut brittle. She's amazing. So is her PECAN brittle.

There's another donor who shall remain a mystery, but we thank you.

And Luke, Dennis, and Vicki at Olive's did a stellar job taking care of such a large group.

Oh, and I have some findings to share from the interwebs.
