Prepare for a lot of photos!
Jenni of AWell Crafted Party & Leave the Laundry for Later took the lead for this blogger event and she made it something really special! I was happy to help in anyway possible, and she deemed me a sponsor for donating my time, some decor items, and event stylist skills and ideas.
She did amazing things like create a logo, create brochures, design decor, get a majority of the sponsors, coordinate everything, and create signature cocktails for the evening and be the bartender!
Not to mention she has two blogs, is starting a blog dedicated to Portland Bloggers, oh and is married and they have an 8 month old son.
I loved helping and I was able to create a banner, bring decor, work with one major sponsor {Nuvrei}, help set up, and enjoy everything!
It was so nice to see bloggers from previous events and meet new ones.
I love feeling a part of this great community of Portland Bloggers.

Me and Miranda, how much do you love her outfit?
Me and Justine, I feel so tall!
All the gifts from the sponsors previously mentioned! I am so excited to wear that dark red 'Moscow' from Radiant Cosmetics, can't wait to go to Nuvrei with Justine on Wednesday, try out all those good smelling products from Blue Strawberry Scents, and the cute goodies from meme & saysay and A Well Crafted Party!
Full disclosure: The Portland Bloggers, and myself, were gifted products from the above companies at the Portland Blogger's Meet Up. We were not asked to review the products or even posts about them. I was just excited to share all the goodies with you!
Thanks to everyone who attended and to Jenni for putting on an amazing event and letting me help!
All photos by me, so if you're using any in your posts, please credit me.
Once people start posting about the event, I will link up your posts here too, so let me know when they go up.
And please let me know if I need to link anything different for anyone!
