We're Facebook Official!

Carolyn here again! I have some exciting news for all of my favorite Minnie bloggers! 

We have a facebook group!

That's right! Minnesota Bloggers are going big time! HAHA

We are hoping that the facebook group will give us a more interactive space to plan and discuss our #MNBloggerHH events! 

Now... you ALL need to go join the group! There's already some information about a pumpkin patch adventure! And I want to see ALL of your smiling, adorable, blogger faces when I'm picking out my pumpkin!! 

Click here to get to the group!

#MNBloggerHH 3.0... holiday style!

Hey friends! It's Carolyn, and I'm taking over this round of planning from sweet Kelly who has been AMAZING with all of her organizing for the first two (and this blog!)

Since I wasn't able to make it to the painting party, I am going through MN blogger withdrawals! 

Which means... we need to get another one on the books! :) 

Bridget and I were emailing back and forth about planning a Halloween/fall themed get together... maybe at a pumpkin patch or a haunted house or something, but we know that everyone is super busy, and that would only give us a couple weeks to find a date. 

Kelly had the BRILLIANT idea of planning a holiday party with Secret Santa gifts, and I'm adding in ugly sweaters. Because really... that would make for some ridiculously amazing pictures!

I figured since the holidays are coming up quick (not sure how that's even possible!) and everyone's schedules will be filling up, I'd mention both, and we can get a vote on what people would like to do!

So... here's your job! Leave a comment answering the following questions:

1. Would you be interested in doing a fall themed get together in the next couple weeks? Would you rather it be a pumpkin patch or a haunted house?

2. If yes, do you have any suggestions for a good place to go?

3. Would you be interested in doing a holiday themed get together? With or without Secret Santa? With or without ugly sweaters?

4. Do you have a genius idea for a get together? If so, TELL US!

Minnesota Bloggers Get-Together: The Paint Pub

Last night, thirteen fellow Minnesota Bloggers got together at The Paint Pub for our own private party. It was pretty understood that many of us were nervous about creating an actual painting-- just as nervous as meeting one another at our last get-together?

Well just like that event, all of the nervousness was for nothing because our Stone Arch Bridge paintings turned out fabulous and most importantly, it was fun to hang out together :-)

Special thanks to Tom and Laura at The Paint Pub-- what a fabulous place! They were so welcoming and accommodating, friendly and nerve-easing, and Laura helped us turn a challenging painting into thirteen pieces of artwork :-)

And plus? I didn't see either of them scoff or roll their eyes once at our "weird blogging ways" ;-) I think we all agree that we are of a special "wait! one more picture!!" breed.

I know it was a late, late night but it was so nice to see you all. Big thanks for everyone coming near and far to meet up-- it was so much fun!

Stay tuned for some discussion about our next event. Although I created this here blog, I certainly am not the ringleader :-) If anyone feels inclined to organize our next get-together, feel free to volunteer!!

Also, if you would like to be a featured blogger, leave a comment or email us at minnesotabloggers@gmail.com for more information.

PRE-Painting Get-Together Information!

Just a quick note before we all head off to our (no doubt) fun weekends ahead... Becky and I met for frozen yogurt earlier this week, caught up for a bit, and of course chatted about next week's Minnesota Blogger's Get-Together at The Paint Pub.

The idea of getting together for a very unofficial bite to eat before the painting shenanigans begin was brought up and Becky encouraged the idea.

So here is the scoop...

For ANYONE who wants to join us before heading over to The Paint Pub, Becky and I will for sure be at Wild Bill's Sports Saloon at 5:45pm. This is super informal and serves just as way to meet up for some food and liquid courage before rockin' it out with some paint.

12730 Elm Creek Boulevard.
Maple Grove, MN 55369

If you would like to join us, PLEASE leave a comment by the end of the weekend. I will NEED a head count for reserving a large enough table at Wild Bill's.

Just as a reminder, it is NOT too late to join us for our private event at The Paint Pub on Tuesday at 7pm. Click here to learn about how to register-- it's bound to be a blast! I personally, cannot wait!!

And one more thing? It was discussed between Becky and I that a major agenda talking point for Tuesday's event will be thoughts on what, where, and when will be our next get-together. Waiting two months to see you girls again and to meet other Minnesota bloggers was just waaaaaay too long in my opinion ;-) Come with ideas!

Hope to see YOU on Tuesday!

<3 Kelly
