I had the privilege of attending the Indiana Blogger Meet-Up last weekend in beautiful French Lick Indiana.  There were over 50 other bloggers who attended–on their own time!  We had some great conversations, planned some awesome things (be looking for those), and exchanged some great ideas!

We also had a little teacher tool gift exchange and I’ll be showing you soon what give I gave and received!  I LOVE my gift!!

Holly Ehle from Mrs. Ehle’s Kindergarten planned and hosted the entire weekend and she was the hostess with the mostess!  She thought of everything and had even been sweet enough to contact companies that might like to donate to some teachers. 🙂

Thank you Holly!! It was SO much fun–can’t wait to do it again! 🙂

Look at all the goodies we received!!

Each teacher received a new Vera Bradley bag!

The nice people at Scentos donated a box of their brand new scented markers to each of us!!  We are some of the first people in the US to get them!!  They won’t be on the market until Back to School time!

We also got these awesome Scentos Ten color ink pens–LOVE that each color has a different scent! 🙂

Jamberry nails (Holly!) gave each of us some nail samples to try–I’ll show you those when I get them on! 🙂

SDE and Crystal Springs also sent information about their books and upcoming conferences. 🙂  Erin Condren sent each one of us a $10 gift card too!!

These were the Vera Bradley patterns we had to chose from. 🙂

Just love all these colors!

One of the highlights of the meet-up was that I got to meet Mr. Greg from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard!! 

He helped to lead our Blogger Tips and Tricks session where bloggers old and new could ask questions of each other and exchange ideas. 🙂

We also exchanged business cards so we could keep in touch!  Look at all the new blogging friends I made!! 🙂
