Top Ten {Tuesday}: Blissdom Objects
Posted by oh amanda on February 9th, 2010 . Filed under: top ten tuesday .
For those of you are that are wondering if this is turning into a Blissdom/LOST blog, I deeply apologize. This is just what you get when your blog is entitled “ohAmanda”…I just post about whatever Amanda likes. Anywhoo—I really wasn’t going to do a Top Ten about Blissdom but this morning when Asa woke me up at 5:15 and I was laying there wondering if I should get him up or pretend I couldn’t hear him I had a great idea for a Top Ten {Tuesday} list:
TOP TEN OBJECTS AT BLISSDOM
(I know you’re getting excited just thinking about it.)
1. Business Cards
Yeah, everyone at Blissdom had a poken ( a lovely gift from ConAgra). But nothing can replace the fun of trading business cards. Of course, some people were even a little more creative. I got chocolate with blog info on it, toothpicks and even a poppy.
2. Red Rubber Ball
The first keynote at Blissdom was by a man named Kevin Carrol. Anything I say about him here will be a complete letdown. Within 2 minutes I was in love with him. He is inspiring, articulate and challenging. I already bought his book Rules of the Red Rubber Ball: Find and Sustain Your Life’s Work
3. LUCK
This may be a whole post in itself. I went to both of Scribbit’s classes (of course) and in the first class, Blogging With The Stars, they asked each blogger what they think made their blog grow. Scribbit’s answer was LUCK. LUCK! Of course, she listed other things but she said that it comes from a good amount of luck–who you know, when you launched, etc. Can I tell you how encouraging that is?
4. Necklace
We got a Lisa Leonard necklace in our swag bag! LISA LEONARD. ‘Nuff said.
5. Potato
Over the past few months, a group of bloggers had been involved in a vlogging competition hosted by the US Potato Board. Blissdom was their final showdown. There were potato-tinis (mashed potatoes in a martini glass), lots of loud music, a little dancing…and well, you can read Jo-Lynne’s Tastemaker recap and see me in a TEAM JO-LYNNE shirt!
6. Whiteboards
Well, there was only one. A small whiteboard that any and everyone could write a note to sweet Anissa. Then we took pictures of ourselves holding the whiteboard and they will be shown to Anissa as a blissful gift. See all the Blissdom Loves Anissa photos!
7. Bags
There were laptop bags, Gussy bags and swag bags but most importantly there were adorable Blissdom Land’s End bags. I love me a big bag.
8. Pacifiers
OK. So, there weren’t too many of these around. But I did snag a pacifier from Mam, one of the Blissdom sponsors. It’s actually a USB drive. Isn’t that cute? They totally win the prize for most adorable way to give me info.
9. Popcorn
ConAgra was one of the Blissdom sponors. So every time you walked into the lobby there was mountains of food to choose from. But my fave? The Orville Redenbacher bar. They even had chocolate covered popcorn.
10. Smoky Eyes
Covergirl brought Smokey Eyes to Blissdom. We were treated to an eye-makeover by some professional makeup artists. It was quite fun and I definitely came out smoky. (See yesterday’s pictures…) But I love this shot of me and my makeup artist mid make-over. Cool, huh?
Did I miss something? What else did you see at Blissdom?

Was that pacifier pack in the bag really a USB drive? Oops. I left mine behind in the room thinking I had no use for it. That’s what I get for being a swag snob I guess.
That mashed potato bar was adorable, right? Not to mention the deliciousness…

I’m participating in the Top 10 for the first time. I wasn’t at BlissDom, though I so wish I was. I just couldn’t get it to fit in to my schedule/budget. I have already vowed that no matter what I will be there next year. I hear it’s amazing!

Oh, wow. It sounds like you had a marvelous time.
Someday, I’m going to make myself go to one of these things. It seems like it’s a fun way to meet people and learn things.
Also, checking to see if I can find that book.

Aw man! Orville Redenbacher bar – how’d I miss that? And I also missed the Blue Bunny whatever-they-had-that-had-to-be-good-because-IT-IS-ICE-CREAM (or frozen yogurt…whatever). But I do think I ate my weight in chocolate drizzled Poppycock.

Thanks for the meme. I just wrote a blog post and linked up. This is our first week, but I hope to become a regular.
Love the whiteboard and pictures for Anissa. That is a wonderful idea.

Sounds like it was so much fun! I’m so jealous, that I’m pretty much avoiding everyone’s Blissdom posts.
I’m petty like that!
That pacifier USB drive is AWESOME & I love the mid-makeover pic. You look TRES GLAMOROUS!
