HGTV Blogger Block Party for the best in DIY and Home Decor

By

HGTV Magazine’s  3rd Annual Blogger Block Party was held in Manhattan this week to coincide with the NYNOW market week at the Javits Center.

We attend the super fun and star-studded #bloggerblockparty in New York last week to celebrate HGVT Magazine  and their new September and October issues in the newsstands this month.  Always inspiring us with Home Decorating Ideas, DIY projects and more. HGTV Magazine  showed us they were all about color and the modern style.

Business Savvy Blogging : Unlock the Potential of Partnerships

Ok, she likes nachos, animals, is a Mom, homeschools 5 children,  and mows her lawn!  On top of that, she writes, crafts and offers us daily doses of DIY projects, interior design and more. She was the energizer bunny, inspiring and open, and she knew how to get the party started.  She spoke with encouragement and honesty. She rocked the house.

    This sounds so fun. I wish I was closer but Dallas/ Fort Worth is a little to far to travel for this party.
    But I would love to find more events in Dallas Fort Worth Blogger related to join in on.
