Blog BBFs.
I just spent the last five days with these amazing women {+ Melissa!} at The Creative Connection and I already miss them. Pout. I am sitting with a stack of business cards and an abundance of new ideas and encouragement. TCC was definitely the recharge and friend time I so desperately needed for my little Gussy business.
There’s very few things that trump meeting a blog friend in real life and having her be just as you thought she would be :] I’m so glad my friends are such great friends.
It was such a happy and fun week… So amazing. And I’m so blessed to have had them over to our house Saturday night for ONE FINAL evening of chatting and giggles. Love you girls!!!
It’s now Monday, and that means back to work ♥
Pretty things I saw at the handmade market:

What an amazing week we had, huh? Thank you so very much for including Megan and me in all the festivities. We feel so blessed to have been allowed into the “cool” group! :) Thank you also for opening up your home to us… Zach is awesome for putting up with all the chatting and giggles! I am feeling blessed and rejuvenated by all you lovely ladies. I can’t wait until we meet again…
Hi! Those booths are beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!
My beauty from the weekend ~ our old vaccuum cleaner bit the dust {ha – I crack myself up} and Brian bought me a new one AND I came home to find the entire house vaccuumed! It was BEAUTIFUL!
LOL — totally made me laugh! :] You’re so cute.
I finally hung up the notes I’ve received since starting my business. Yours is up there with the rest — so glad to “know” you Kate :]
Missing you so much!! As glad as I was to see my kids and Josh, I miss my BBF’s. It’s hard to come back to reality. Thanks so much for (as Emmy put it so well) letting us hang out with the “cool kids.” It’s so nice to know that you are just as fabulous in real life as you are online. xoxo, Mique
P.s. Thank Zack for letting us steal his wife and then being so hospitable and generous on Sat. You two are SO cute!
this looks like so much fun—now, i’m wondering when you’re gonna come to orlando?
Hey you – wow, I feel sort of fabulous being in a picture on your blog! You made our trip to Minneapolis so wonderful with your warmth, hospitality and GREAT advice. Sitting on your couch, in your living room, listening you talk about your business I kept thinking about how many amazing things lie ahead for you. You are one talented and BEAUTIFUL lady. Thanks again and I hope it’s not too long before we can all see each other again!
I’ll take one of everything pictured!!! I already told my girlfriends that next year we need to make it up there!
I love those owls!! So cute and whimsy. Perfect for fall or anytime really. Yay for great friends and handmade goodies!

Hi I just stumbled upon your site and remembered hearing Loralee mention the name “Gussy” during the blogging session at the CCE. That’s you, obviously! Welcome to Minneapolis. I wrote about my day at the conference at the link below. I know a new town can feel pretty lonely, so if you need another creative spirit to meet for coffee, give me a shout. Continued success to you!

Losing babies or merhots is one thing I have thought about when wanting to go into the obstetrics field. I actually had a not so great experience with my daughter’s delivery and was told the baby in the room next to me had died. I have always wondered what would make a nurse tell me that while in labor, but it does remind me of some of the obstacles I could face. I think that is something we all have to face no matter what specialty we choose.
