Congrats ladies and we’ll see you in Nashville!
Three years and five conferences ago Tanis and I did our first rendition in a tiny little Nashville bar.

Since then we’ve sang the same song three more times, once when I was pregnant, twice in costume, once with a cane and twice in a different country.
Blissdom is my favorite conference for several different reasons, karaoke parties being one of them. 2012 will be my 6th Blissdom conference and this year I will be a photography community leader. This year will feature a handmade marketplace, amazing keynotes and other equally (ehem) impressive community leaders with all levels of experience.
I wish I could see all of you there.
Luckily I will be seeing at least two more of you there.
That’s right, I’m giving away two full conference passes to the 2012 Blissdom Conference in Nashville, Tennessee February 23rd-25th.
(That’s 65 days!!)
Bring your comfy shoes and join me at the Opryland in February.
Good luck and I hope I get to squeeze your neck in Nashville!

Thank you for doing this giveaway 🙂 I couldnt answer the “why do I want to go” question, nowhere to click. I want to win the giveaway because I love Blissdom, how it inspires, what it brings, it’s my favorite conference, and the Blissdom community are my kind of people.
I hope whoever wins falls in love with Blissdom like I have, meets amazing new friends, and genuinely treasures the opportunity to go!

I would squeal at very inappropriate levels if I was able to go to Blissdom and spend time with you and the other fabulous people that will fill the rooms of the Opryland hotel.
I also would drive there since its only 3 hours away, and I’d be at the ready to drive us to the costume shop or nearest liquor/prop store for karaoke necessities.
Plus, I totally need to go see the people at the hotel front desk and apologize for that unfortunate semi-nude incident in the atrium and let them know that I actually did end up marrying that man.

I hope to inspire others through words, and enjoy being uplifted through various blogs…including yours! xo
