Design Blogger’s Conference 2014 May I Drop A Few Names? :)

Sunday was the kick-off for a star-studded event that brought designers, bloggers, suppliers and media people from around the country together for a 4 day free for all in the idea sharing department at Design Blogger’s Conference 2014.  And who doesn’t love a good SWAG bag??? They loaded us down.

That’s right y’all. You saw it here first… Domino is back!!!

Domino Magazine

 As soon as I entered the beautiful ballroom at The Grand Hyatt, the excitement was at frenzy level and it never let up.

Grand Hyatt Stairwell

I met Jeffrey Johnson and  Leslie Carothers right off the bat. Matching names to well known faces is always a feat at these affairs. I promise not to bore you with every little detail (unless you are a follower on Instagram, then it’s Katy bar the door). I honestly had no idea what to expect but I am SO glad that I went. Funny how quickly you bond with people when you have so much in common. I came home with an entire bouquet of new friends  (warning: we were grabbing whoever was standing near to snap a pic so these are very grainy but still, I will treasure them)

Yes, Ladies and Gents, that is the one and only Candice Olson! And she is hilarious.
