I am going y'all! I am headed to Blissdom next week. This time next week I will be live tweeting from sessions for your enjoyment. (Psst...be sure you follow me on twitter!) Are you headed to Blissdom? Pretty please leave a comment below so I can "meet" you right now!
So I am going to post a little ice breaker for those I am going to meet at Blissdom. A little get to know me and what I am about. Course even if you are not going to Blissdom and want to know some more about me...feel free to read all the {not so} juicy details below.
First of all I am a Tennessee girl. I will be staying at home during Blissdom and commuting everyday. Straight up honesty -- that is the main reason I choose to attend Blissdom. A blog conference package with hotel, airfare, etc does not appear to be in the budget this year. Blissdom however is an opportunity for me to learn tons, network, and be close enough to sleep in my own bed! Win-win-win!
Next think you need to know about me -- I have red hair. We are usually the minority. So when you see a red haired girl at Blissdom, come on over and introduce yourself!
A little about my life. I am a full time working wife and mother to three kids. Yes I work full time. I am actually an engineer (any other engineers out there??). I am taking a couple of vacation days to attend Blissdom. I feel that if I am going to continue down this road with my blog, I need to sharpen up some of my skills. My children are 17, 11, and 6....yes you read that right! My oldest is graduating high school this year and will be starting college. So if you have a high school senior and want to share war stories...I am your girl. I can also share war stories of mothering a 6 year old boy...cause well boys are a new frontier when you have been raising girls.
Now a little about my blogging life. I started The Country Chic Cottage over 2 years ago. I made a new year's resolution to spruce up my home. The CCC was a way to keep me on track and accountable. Two years later I am still plugging away. My focus is still home related -- DIY, crafts, vintage finds, home decor, all mixed into one. My favorite projects are ones that cost little to no money...cause well I am a girl with a tight budget. I love knocking off something I find in a Pottery Barn catalog. Or scouring The Home Depot or Big Lots for discounted home decor items. Thrift stores and Goodwill are where you will find me at least once a week. I also blog over at One Month To Win It. A craft competition blog where you have....one month...to win it. You did not see that coming did you?
My goals for Blissdom are pretty simple. I plan on meeting some great bloggers (I am making a list cause I am anal like that). I also plan on learning all I can. Specifically I will be taking quite a few photography classes. So if you are a regular reader and made it this far, expect better pictures from me cause I am going to expect better pictures from myself!
I hope any of you that will be in Nashville next weekend will leave me a comment below with a link to your blog or twitter. Let's talk, have fun, and learn a little bit along the way.

Hey Angie... I started following you because we were both on the PSA DT. I am no longer on but still follow you. I live right outside of Nashville in Mt. Juliet. I have never heard of Blissdom but will have to look it up. Just curious where you live?
I'm not local and not going, but I hope you have fun! I didn't realize you had a senior!! And a 6 yr old. That is how our kids will be, our oldest is almost 9 and the youngest is almost 2, and we'd like to have more. So I figure when I go visit our oldest at college I'll be toting a Kindergartner with me. :)
Oh have a great time and bring us back lots of info! Goodness you work full time, 3 kids...You are super Woman....have fun!
