Raspberry Rabbits Meets Brynwood Needleworks
Monday, I drove to Williamsburg, Virginia to meet my dear blogging friend, Donna of Brynwood Needleworks! Woo hoo! I was like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning. I couldn't wait to meet her in person and give her a big giant hug! I went into the hotel lobby and there she was to welcome me with her bright beautiful smile. Big hug! Big hug!!! Happy Bunny dance!
Was Donna everything I thought she would be? Yep! Was she just as fun in person as she is on her blog? Yep! Did I wish I could have stayed for a few more days? Yep! Did I feel like I have known her my entire life? Yep!
Donna and I met through blogging over a year ago. Since then she has become near and dear to me. She is one talented lady with a heart of gold. Donna lives in Florida and was going to Williamsburg with her husband, Steve, (aka handsome) for the Williamsburg Consort. Steve is a percussionist. While Steve was busy in practice, Donna and I went out to play.
We went to a cute quilt shop called Love2Quilt. We also went to an embroidery shop and then had lunch in a French Restaurant. Yum! Donna has given me so many gifts of the past year and even though I told her not to bring me anything, she brought me this beautiful strawberry she made. I'm spoiled I tell ya! It was so nice to be able to talk with her and get to know her even better. I was sad to see our day end, but I am forever grateful that I was able to give her a hug, hear her voice and spend some fun time with her. Oh and now I can pronounce her last name! Woo hoo! (I told her I could never pronounce her last name and I've been calling her Donna La La! hee,hee,hee) Next year I plan on spending a couple of days with my friend.
Donna is celebrating 500 blog posts and is having a fabulous giveaway on her blog. Hop over and register for a chance to win! I know you'll love the prize and I know you'll love her just as much as I do!
Thanks so much for a fun day Donna. I'm so glad we are friends and I know we always will be. You are a treasure to me and such a blessing to my life. Looking forward to more time with you. :)
