I just have to say I had one of the best days of my life this past Saturday... some absolutely wonderful TPT sellers got together and created a TPT meet up that I will NEVER forget. Thank you to all of you for making it such a perfect day. Birds of a feather flock together - I will always be in your flock whenever you need anything :)
We met in Binghamton, NY which was only a couple hours from me. I had a wedding to attend in the evening so I had to leave a little early, but every moment was worth it! I got to witness wonderful presentations from THE Jen Jones {Hello Literacy} and the amazing Shelly Rees from Appletastic: Blossiming in 5th Grade and get to know some wonderful people.
Here are some fun photos from our event! There were so many amazing sponsors and hard work put into this beautiful day! - Thank you to ALL of you for making it quite a blast!
