We came.
We saw.
We laughed.
We shared a bunch of blogging business.
And it was a wonderful time.
If you didn't know this already – the blogging community is amazing. And the group of women who gathered for BlissDom at the (fabulously amazing) Hotel Preston, were the perfect example.
All week long, we will be sharing photos taken throughout the weekend, and posts written by attendees.
Start making plans to attend in February.

That Blisstini looks delish! I'm starting to save now for Blissdom' 09 but any hints about how to get yourself sponsored are welcome!
Hey GirlieQs!!
I'm still decompressing, but it's been a trip to explain the weekend to my husband. He's even beginning to understand Twitter. Ok, maybe not UNDERSTAND, but at least see how it works
.
Great time to listen and dialogue about a topic that each of holds dear–BLOGGING!
Establishing REAL LIFE relationships with those I highly regard was a treat…something I DON'T take for granted.
Karla & Alli, thanks for hosting a wonderful weekend
. I know it was a collaborative effort by many (HT to Barbara Jones & One2One!), but I know what the two of you put into the conference. And Mishi's picchas? No wonder she was able to help me with my camera! Dang! She's good!!! 
CAN'T WAIT TIL JUNE…It's gonna be bettah than evah!

WOW! I wish I could have been there!

I, too, had a great time… Yay!
Aw yeah, aw yeah!! Viva Le BlissDom!! Such a great group of women willing to really talk WITH each other and SHARE some best kept secrets. I loved helping put this whole thing together with the BlissDivas @fussypants and @karpo! Plus, let's not forget the great help we got from @ambermaduell, @tothink and Nichol to keep it all running smoothly. Great teamwork. Let's do it again in Feb!! xoxo to you all.
I feel so blessed that I was able to be there with all of those incredible bloggers! I learned so much and came away feeling excited about the future of blogging. I just know it's where I am meant to be
Not to mention it was really FUN and very close to home!
Oh, oh! I will abandon my family if need be to be there in February…ok, kidding…mostly. I've been clicking around and reading some fabulous posts about Blissdom. Love it!
I couldn't stay very long as I had to be there for a friend who was getting her bridal portraits done, but I had a great time. The ladies were all very insightful and supportive. I'm so glad I stumbled across this group! Thank you for a wonderful BlissDom!

I would also like to say that not ONE post I read has said anything about feeling left out or feelings being hurt or feeling like someone didn't like them. May I say that is almost unheard of in a group of women? Especially introverted women bloggers. I think that is a testament to what kind of environment Blissfully Domestic promotes.
