Official Announcement

Guess what? The wheels are already in motion for the 3rd Annual Blog Party. I just wanted to give you all a heads-up on the dates so that you can plan accordingly. This year we've arranged it so that it corresponds with BYU Women's Conference since so many of you come to Utah for that already, plus we're hoping that since school will still be in session that means family reunions won't be going on at the same time and more people will be able to make it.

7:00pm-until it ends
Location: To Be Determined

{Blog Party 2006}

Last year's party was a good time and was twice as big as the year before. I don't know what to expect for this year, so if you want to receive an official invitation in the mail I need you to email me (stuart_jill@hotmail.com) and give me your mailing address and your blog address (If I already have your address on the good mail list then you don't need to email it to me). Our blogging community now goes beyond a friend of a friend of a friend, so we want to make sure we're not just sending an open invite to all the world. Also, that means you lurkers might want to start commenting more regularly so that someone can account for you, ha.

**What do you think??
Do you want to come?
Any suggestions for the party?**

I want to come this year! Somehow I hope to make it work. Travel with a 4 month old is easy if you leave the other big kids behind, ha!

Whatever you plan for the party will be awesome. There was nothing but fabulous reviews last time. Can't wait to hear more.

melanie said...

And really, first to comment? Wow.

Amie said...

I can't believe it is already time to plan. Crazy. I hope we can think of a really great place to have it this year. I will work on it.

YEEEE HAAA! I am registered for Women's conference, my mind is spinning as to the nights activities and can not wait!
Send me an invite baby - I will be there!

michelle said...

It seems strange that you're already thinking about this year's party! The first two were awesome, so I am looking forward to this one as well.

Elizabeth said...

Oh how I wish. Some year I will make it but not this year with a newborn.

Anonymous said...

I was just thinking about this a few days ago! You KNOW I am in!!! The last two have been awesome, I can't wait to see who all comes to this one:)

andrea said...

Oh my! I'm coming to Women's Conference! Great time to hold the blog party. You can count me in.

Price Cream Parlor said...

Yikes! Looks like I will miss another one. Sob! I am coming for Spring Break in March, then again in July and perhaps even Aug. I wish I could swing a women's conference in there - hmmmm, I might just have to think how I can do that!
Send me an invite just in case. You are wonderful to host such a fun event each year!

Tasha said...

I am so excited! Can't wait! I wish I lived closer, I'd love to have every one over! Can't wait for the invite!

Liz said...

Oooh! I was just thinking about wanting to attend Women's Conference this year. I will see if I can swing it! Than I could actually come to the party!

patsy said...

Wow- I can't wait! Satuday is the perfect day. I have to be back early Friday afternoon for a fundraiser I am in charge of- I'm relieved it is planned for Saturday.
This is really exciting!

Liz said...

Oh dang! I just checked the dates, and May 1 is our 10 year anniversary! I know this will not work out now. Huge bummer! Unless I can get someone else to watch the kids and Ben comes with me, although he might not like that idea of a vacation...me at conference all day, him doing???

Laurie said...

It's on my calendar! Good planning!!

Lucy said...

I'd love to come and help out in any way. Not in any decorating or attendee gifts sense of the word, but if you need a karaoke system...I'm your girl.

count me in!

Amy said...

Jill, you're so on top of things! Look at you planing ahead and it looks like the attendance will be great. I'd love to come. I'll drop you an email.

Unknown said...

oh, this is soooo tempting!
(the earlier date could work to my advantage...)

carlo said...

i would love an invite jill but i am not sure i can swing the may date. DANG! I so want to be there.

Anonymous said...

Barb and I made plans last night for Women's Conference. So, count me in!

wende said...

i would LOVE and invite, i will be emailing you shortly. i'm excited to meet some cyber space girls face to face. thanks for being awesome enough to throw a blogging party! great idea! ps, i would help with anything, just let me know what i can do!

Midge said...

Hannah's told me how fun these parties are so I would love to come, especially now that I know some of the girls through the book club.

Dr. Mommy said...

oooh- i want to come. i don't know if it will work out travel wise, but definitely if we end up leaving the country (either still technically in the u.s. or not) i will have to visit family...and then i may as well make a drive down to visit bloggers. :)

Poulsen Family said...

Hi, (hang my head in shame) I actually found your website a little while back and love reading it, especially the sunday thoughts. I'm not sure I could make it, but realized that I should probably make myself a little more known. I just started doing SPT and I've always loved your Good Mail idea. I've got to reach out a little more I guess. Any way, I actually type out my thoughts from now on instead of laughing, crying and smiling in agreement to myself from now on I promise...and maybe, just maybe I can come to your party.

Becky said...

OK, Jill--I'm one of those read every day, comment once in a while people :)

I found your blog through SPT and have been meaning to e-mail you for a couple weeks...I guess now I have my excuse! I would love to come! And I would love to help with any crafty stuff :)

Diana said...

I'm in.

Julia said...

There are so many people I want to meet, too bad my planned trip to Utah is the first week of June. Perhaps I could think of a reason to fly out... actually that will be my little brothers homecoming weekend, maybe that is a good reason!

Mrs. McDaniel said...

I thought I posted but I don't know what happened to it. I would love to come if you would have me!

Amanda :-) said...

How clever to tie it in with that Conference! Of course, I probably won't be there as I'm on the other side of the world. But I could make you a little cut-out person to stand in for me?

TX Girl said...

I am totally figuring this out. Although- I'm coming to Utah for 4 weeks again in July/August and planned it thinking about the blogging party. Oh well- I had good intentions.

Hope I can make it this year.

Jennifer said...

Not sure-traveling without kids while school is in could be a deal breaker. I would love to be there but the date might not work for me this year. We'll have to see. You're such a plan-aheader!

amy gretchen said...

Blog party time already. It's cool to look at the two photos and see how far this blog world has come. I'm definitely coming.

Anonymous said...

I'm in! Can't wait to meet you in person. Yeah!

Amy said...

I totally have been a slacker to have missed this post of yours. Kelly said something about it and I was stunned that it's time for that already! Yes, I want to come. I'm trying to work out the whole Women's Conference thing...great idea to make it on the same week!

pam said...

I will actually be in town, I can't wait to come. I'll even offer up my parents home to host the event if that would help. Looking forward to seeing you.

Mique (as in Mickey) said...

I really want to go but I think I'll be on my way back to CA by then....I think we're leaving that morning. Any chance we can meet for lunch or something before then???? I'll be at Women's conference. Let me know.

Tammy said...

I so want to be included. I am wanting so bad to go to Women's Conference and this would be my first year. Let me know. My email addy is galejota@yahoo.com. Website: www.transplantmommy.blogspot.com

Charity said...

Hi Jill

Can't wait to meet those who will be there, thanks for the invite...although I guess you can't really call it an invite when you invite yourself eh?

Thanks for being great!

Crystalyn said...
