But it almost killed my feet. And my arms from lugging around all the books I collected. Believe me, though: that was a small sacrifice for the incredible experience I was privileged to have. The Christian author & publishing communities ROCK!
I have much to share, many interviews, LOTS of giveaways, and more over the next days and probably weeks. After I debrief and decompress a bit and wade through the stuff I got.
I told several people that it felt like a combination of Christmas morning and drinking out of a fire hydrant. And a tiny glimnpse of what heaven will be like with the sweet fellowship and laughter. And heaven won't have the aching feet!
But for now, spring break is over and I need to get back into mom mode. . . .
what fun!!
ReplyDeleterest lots so you can tell us all about it!!
It sounds like you had SO much feet. And just think, you could have stayed home and had sore feel just from working around the house all day!
ReplyDeleteI loved being at the book expo!
ReplyDeleteIt was great!
So glad you had a great time! Can't wait to hear about all of it!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to hear all about your trip! Every time I saw anything about the expo I thought of you! I saw pictures and was just blown away! :-)!!!
ReplyDeleteOK, That does it!
ReplyDeleteNo more commenting from me at night.
I just re-read the comment I left last night.
DUH.
Should have said...So much FUN... and stayed home an had sore FEET!
Oh well, welcome home! : )
I can't wait to read all of your posts about this event! Welcome home, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are back home safely, and that the experience was all you hoped it would be! I'm looking forward to reading some of your reviews and recommendations!!

Linda, it was SO awesome to meet you in person at CBE, get cozy (and off our feet!) on that couch and chat. We (readers, writers and the publishing family) are blessed by your generous spirit--your blog is indeed an inspired ministry.

Glad you had a great trip. I didn't register to win "A Cousin's Promise" because it's ironic that I'm not a fan of books by Beverly Lewis (the author) and I figured this might be similar. When people ask if I'm THE Beverly Lewis, of course I say "yes". What will I do when I'm an author too? Maybe go with Beverlydru Lewis. : )
ReplyDeleteSounds FABULOUS! Wish I could have been there.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful time. I almost came...Even had my ticket and then had a conflict. I was sorry to hear that they did not have as large a crowd as they had hoped.
ReplyDeleteStop by my blog for a visit. Though I am relativity new to blogging, I am loving all my new friends.
I am giving away my first EVER BLOG PRIZE.
I own a gift basket business and it is the most requested gift over the last 15 years.
From the comments I have already received, appears to be something a little different and something anyone could use.
I have been so touched by the comments that I have decided to give 2 boxes . They will be the $100 deluxe size.
I want my blog to encourage others. I have decided that giving is life at its BEST. The drawing will be Saturday!
