Great list. Thanks! I was hoping to make it tonight, but I'm recovering from a cold and probably won't be able to come. I'm sure it will be a fantastic event!
Hope you feel better soon Anna! And glad the list was helpful!
Great links and hope the DIYA event went amazing!
It was great! And it sounds like yours was too! It was fun to see pictures of the crowds. Cindy and Malinda did such a great job with this…
