When blog worlds collide
We’ve all made friends through the blogosphere, right? Strange how this occurs but I am truly amazed at how many friendships I’ve developed through this medium. One such friend is Alely from Oh Sweetlee Me. I was drawn to her cheerful blog, her beautiful family, and just how honest and open her posts were. So approximately one week ago, Alely was going to be driving through my neck of the woods with her family so we planned a meetup. Due to time constraints, we met at McDonald’s and we chatted it up like we’ve known each other for years. There was an instant connection as soon as we saw each other. Her parents, her aunt, and her beautiful little girl were all quite lovely and we had a wonderful time under the golden arches. And true to her blog name, she really is sweet. She brought me a beautiful necklace from her Etsy shop, Sweetlee Designed.
Thanks, Alely. Please come visit when you’re in town again.
This is Alely. Wanna see a better photo, head on over to Oh Sweetlee Me.
Awwww, Alely and I are bloggy friends too! When I was supposed to move to Maine, she was going to visit! That’s a beautiful picture! It’s great when the blogosphere can bring people together!
Oh how pretty, made even prettier by the thought behind it! I also LOVE the lemonade recipe below. That’s on my list to try!
Already a follower, but stopped by because you roll called ahead of me at SITS this morning!

That’s the remarkable thing, isn’t it!… meeting and getting to know people in a way we almost never could going through schools and moving around the country… I love my blogger friends and know that meeting in person would be like sitting with an old friend… just as you experienced… how lucky for you to be able to enjoy that experience… well, fellow SITSta, come visit when you can…

I have loved meeting some of the bloggers I’ve met online, and I honestly can’t wait to meet more. I didn’t expect to make so many friends when I started, but I’m so glad I have — that’s what has made all of this so worthwhile.
awwww that’s soo cool that you got to meet up!! i hope to someday meet both of you!! =)
Love that necklace! So cute! I’ll eat at Mickey D’s with ya’ll anytime!
It’s always awesome when that happens. I remember how excited I was to meet my penpals (yikes, am I revealing my age?!) 15 years after having corresponded with each other since 4th grade. Now we have bloggy pals.
Sending a sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm. What a wonderful story to share with us all! I’m so amazed at how open and friendly everyone seems to be! So happy that you were able to meet your friend! That necklace is indeed lovely! Ciao, bella!
isn’t great the power of blogging?! to bring good online connections and friendship into real life… wishing to meet many many bloggers some day!
Oh, that’s wonderful..! I’m so glad you guys were able to connect in “real life” too. Very sweet.
