There's nothing like a sweet treat to make an evening! The lovely ladies of Fanny & Jane (amazing Brookyln bakery) are donating some delicious treats for our event on Monday. we are - to put it mildly - *thrilled*!

Aside from making and serving goodies in their bakery, both Jen and Faryn of Fanny & Jane have their own "make it happen story" that they blogged about as their bakery journey was happening. Jen's popular blog - follow my bliss - about quitting the corporate day job and following a dream as well as their connection with NYC Sketch Comedy team - Harvard Sailing Team - both show that these ladies are real, passionate, fun and caring - why wouldn't you want to support this via their bakery? These are examples of successful blogs that complement a company. We love this type of small business "company" blog - it's a personal one and it really showcases the ladies' love of their business, their families and their own lives - which we all can relate to.

See you all on Monday!

hello lovely blog out loud friends,

we know it's been a while since we've been blog out loud eventing, blogging and all that good stuff and we wanted to check in with you guys. We seriously *heart* this great community and love that you are still enjoying BOL and are interested in future events (and we are excited too!!) and we wanted to share an update.

Megan and I are taking a mini-break from BOL for just bit since we both have new projects that have recently launched that need our deserved attention. BOL is a free resource that we do in our spare time purely because we love the supportive and generous style of the blogging world, in particular all you design bloggers. Since it takes a lot of time to put events together for you guys, we will get back on track when we can both commit the time deserved for the next event.

So please stay with us, check in and check back and we'll let you know as soon as we know when our next event will be - hopefully this summer!

And we'd love to share a little bit about where we are right now >>

I (Rebecca) recently launched Sweetline, an online brand project management company. I consult with lifestyle brands - interior designer, shop owners, artists, photographers, filmmakers, you name it - on their full online presences. This includes website editorial, social media 101 and project management of website and blog design and builds. We also have a neat blog and you can follow us here @sweetlineagency.

I am still contributing to Apartment Therapy and loving. living. small.. I have some sneak peek news - I am contributing to HGTV in a few weeks so check in on @blogoutloud for that link and I'll be featured in a super neat design mag this summer. And I doing a bit of freelance production work - phew - I am tired just writing all this down! :) but it's exciting and I am enjoying the ride!

Megan is still enjoying beach bungalow 8 and the popular podcast, The Skirted Roundtable. She is also doing design work for clients - she is a busy lady!

We'll e-see you guys soon!!

xo, Rebecca and Megan

Take those e-friends offline

Hey BOL friends, so Megan and I have been chatting about Blog Out Loud 6 and details for a possible upcoming event in June. We can't believe that we are on event 6 already - what a fab ride! We really started this as a place for people to learn and inspire to embrace social media and connect and people have been doing just that - yes!

All this connecting online and spending time doing it (yes, it takes a lot of time) does have it's rewards and many of them involve taking your e-friendships offline. After a relaxing trip with my family and visiting gorgeous places like Red Rock, NV, I had a great brunch with BOL 5 panelist, Jeanine of @AphroChic on Saturday. We talked and laughed (and ate really good food!) and I regard her as a mutual design lover and new friend. What a neat result of all this blogging stuff! As you go about your day with your business and clients, include blogging and tweeting into the mix. It's worth it! You will create a community, you will join other communities and you will have new and supportive people in your life.

Check back in over the next few weeks for details about Blog Out Loud 6!

I definitely get it from a brand, time, and creative perspective with a decade-long career in advertising. I can help you in a way that is creative, affordable, accessible and all that good stuff.

Wow, what a night!! Blog Out Loud 5 was a great success!! We had about 75 guests show up for a great panel discussion. This event was unique for us since we had a panel made up of people that shape the blogging experience and people who engage in the blogging experience. The main theme of the night seemed to be how rewarding blogging is to connect to people! It's really is an opportunity to meet like-minded people and feel connected. From there, things happen, doors open and creativity flows! To check out a few moments from the night, head over to @blogoutloud and read the thread. (I tried my best to tweet from my iphone)

And a BIG THANK YOU to all of our incredible and very generous vendors!
