Hallmark Cards put its famous slogan into action this past Thursday when the company invited seven (7) bloggers from around the country to attend the First Bloggers Conference.
“I” was one of the Super Seven chosen for this trailblazing event. Joining me were Stephanie Quilao, California; Elizabeth Thielke, Tennessee; Jerry Stearns, North Dakota; Dotsie Bregal, MD; Jeanette Fulda, IN and Sylvia Hall, MO. I’ll be telling you more about them and my impressions of them in a future blog.
How were we selected? Thru our blogging. That’s right! Hallmark Executives invited us to the one-day conference to get some feedback from those of us in the “cyberspace media.” We were selected for two reasons:
1) We have a visible online presence.
2) We’re writing about subject they’re interested in and we’re doing it in a non-offensive way.
Since I have several blogs, I was curious as to which one caught their eye. I would’ve guessed Boomerworld but they noticed Baby Boomer Talk & Other Stuff.
As a result, they rolled out the red carpet and gave us royal treatment. (Of course, being a Diva, I expected nothing less).
To try to tell you about the whole experience in one post is impossible so I’m going to break it up into a few posts over the coming days.
I want to thank all of you who gave me your thoughts and ideas to share. You’ll be happy to know I did exactly what you asked.
