It was so crazy - but fun. I dragged my boyfriend around with me too. Glad you had a great time - I hope to go again next year.

The entire week was a frenzy though and I had no clue what I was doing most of the time. I practically happened upon a group of bloggers (went to meet one blogger buddy for the HP exhibition and never really left) that I stuck with for the whole week. Next year though, we should definitely cross paths and at least say hello.<br /><br />Glad to see you enjoyed yourself :)Nikki (Wicked Awesome Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10379785087255968519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324469465904961710.post-73150355497778438942011-06-03T15:29:47.730-04:002011-06-03T15:29:47.730-04:00So happy to read and see that you had a wonderful ...So happy to read and see that you had a wonderful time!
