Northeastern Regional TpT Seller Meet-Up! #TPTFLOCK

This past weekend (May 2), 
I had the opportunity to attend the first 

Northeastern Regional TpT Seller Meet-Up 

in Binghamton, NY!  This meet-up did NOT disappoint!  

First, I was on the look out for Jennifer Jones from Hello Literacy!  My first ever "big" TpT purchase was made at HER store!  What TpT seller doesn't need tons and tons of new fonts to work with (my all time favorite being Type Hype)?  Check them out!

Here is my selfie with her... maybe just a little too up close on me, but oh well :).

Here is a picture of the awesome presentation that she presented that was helpful to all TpT sellers, both novice and veterans!  
Side note:  I wish I knew where she got that dress from!

However, before I saw Jennifer Jones, I was starstruck when I saw Amy Berner!  I was like, I know that face from the forums!  I had no idea she'd be there, too!  She took notes throughout the whole day to take back to TpT headquarters!  It's awesome to know that our suggestions/ideas are really valued! :)

The meet-up truly was AMAZING!  Not only did I spend the day talking and learning with others, I received a number of awesome swag gifts throughout the day.  Like somebody shouted out,

"It feels like we're on Oprah!"

Check out the gift tables! The first picture shows prizes donated from numerous TpT sellers, Etsy Sellers, business, etc.!  SO MUCH COOL stuff!  The second picture shows the gift exchange items we brought to exchange with another seller at the meet-up.  We each brought something that we truly love using in our classroom-- What a great idea!

Now check out almost all of the swag I took home!

Here is a picture of two friends of mine that teach and sell with me!  I'm in the middle!  To left of me is Melanie from Purposefully Primary and to the right is Kelsey from Kiddie Kreations by Kelsey... check out their stores! :)

I CAN'T WAIT until next year's Meet-Up!  I hope to see all my new friends there again plus some new faces! Until then, maybe I'll see you at the TpT Conference in Vegas this July?  I hope so!  Look for me :)

PA Blogger Meetup 2014

Two posts from me in one day?  How can this be?!  LOL.  I'm just so excited because I was able to meet up with some fellow TpT sellers and bloggers in Hershey, PA today!  I love Hershey, PA!  Hershey has outlets and of of course, chocolate!  You can't go wrong visiting this town!

I was a little nervous at first making the hour and half ride to meet people I've never met before!  It was like that feeling you have when you go on a first date! LOL.  However, I am SO happy that I made the trip because I truly met some fantastic people!  They were SUPER nice and fun to learn from!  Here is a picture of us...

From left to right is Angie from Rulin' the Roost, Wendy from Readwithmeabc, me, Andrew from Mr First Grade, and his wife!  

Here's another picture of me and the lovely Wendy who took the time and effort to organize this meet up!

She even made us all these goodie bags!  How cute?!

Even though I was nervous about making the trip to Hershey, I'm SO glad I did.  I learned lots (especially about Instagram!) that I can't wait to put into practice.

Our next meet up won't be until next summer...  I wish we all lived closer :(.  Until then, I'm excited to keep in contact with them in the virtual world as well as other TpT sellers and bloggers that I meet along the way :).
