You know I love crafty stuff. I’m not great at it myself. But I love it. And I usually love to bask in the presence of actual crafty people. During Blissdom, I tried to hang out with the Crafty/DIY tribe. Mainly to help me out on Impress Your Kids. But also, because I think they are famous. So as a thank you to all the crafty peeps who let me tag along, here are the
TOP TEN CRAFTY FUN PEOPLE I MET AT BLISSDOM {AND THEIR SUPER CUTE WARES}
1. Mique from Thirty Handmade Days
Where I met her: I’ve been stalking her blog for months. I think I shrieked when I discovered that she was actually, you know, herself.
Why you should love her: She is adorable. She wasn’t afraid when I acted like I had been stalking her all weekend. She made me (well, anyone she came in contact with) purple polka dot earrings. *swoon*
2. Hilary from The Other Mama and Mint Julep Monograms
Where I met her…I can’t remember where we met. But now I can’t imagine not knowing her. She’s one of my bbb, to be sure.
Why you should love her: She made me a purple luggage tag with my blog name on it! She is hilarious. She coined the term, “Gaggity, Gag, Gag”.
3. Melissa from The Pleated PolkaDot (and shop!)
Where we met: We literally ran into each other at the (in)courage party. After snooping around her blog I have discovered a kindred spirit!
Why you should love her: Because she is adorable. She has a sweet blog and really, look at that purse!
4. Cha Cha from Cha Cha’s Treasures and Sit Relax and Read
Where we met: Cha Cha found me when I (for the first and only time) tweeted my exact location during Atlanta’s big ice storm. Apparently, we live 5 minutes from each other.
Why you should love her: Her name is Cha Cha for goodness sakes!
5. Kelly from Team Sparkle
Where we met: At a Crafty/DIY roundtable when she handed out like 5 business cards to her many blogging endeavors.
Why you should love her: SHE MAKES SPARKLY RUNNING SKIRTS. And her hair is awesome.
Where we met: I actually think we just sat next to each other at lunch one day. And she and the rest of the famous etsy shop owners were talking about some amazing business-y stuff. But I grabbed her card because her bag was SO CUTE.
Why you should love her: HER BAG IS SO CUTE.
7. Marie from Make and Takes
{my make and take}
Where I met her: I knew her before Blissdom. We actually met in California at N*stle. (Shhh….don’t tell!)
Why you should love her: Her business card at Blissdom was a bag of beads, a little bell and a pipe cleaner. Get it? A make and take?
Where I met her: Actually. I didn’t meet her. I just needed a 10th and asked the awesomeness that is Jill of Diaper Diaries if she had met any cool crafty peeps at Blissdom. She said Deb from Red Letter Words was there! EEK! I can’t believe I missed her!
Why you should love her: Scripture art. I mean, COOL Scripture art. How can you NOT love her?
9. Megan at Half Pint House
Where I met her: I honestly have no memory of meeting her. And I’m bummed about it. And will probably be embarrassed when she comments and says, “We sat next to each other and laughed for 2 hours, remember?!”
Why you should love her: When I went through her blog, I said, “ME, TOO!” about 12 times.
10. Lori Mahon from Overture Media {not crafty, per se but fun!}
Where I met her: Kat from Inspired to Action hooked us up via Twitter during Blissdom. We met in front of Kellogg’s booth and immediately hit it off.
Why you should love her: She is a publicist for Christian Music Artists. And she likes TobyMac. And Sandi Patty. So there.
